INVENTION OF THE TOOTHBRUSH

On 26 June 1498 the toothbrush was invented by a Chinese Emperor, and his wife, Empress Wanrong, introduced it to the world.

The handle was made out of bamboo or animal bone and then pig hair was used for the bristles. The bristles were much harder than today's toothbrushes, but they did a better job of cleaning the teeth than a frayed stick.

The first pet toothbrush was only developed much later and emphasised the need for humans and pets to look after their teeth.

LIKE PETS, LIKE HUMANS

Any human that has had any interaction with pets and kids will realise there are quite a few similarities between the two. This includes constant bickering and fighting, especially in the back of the car.

HOW A DOG SEES

Dogs also have several anatomical advantages that allow them to see better in the dark than humans can.

These include more rods in their retina, larger pupils, a lens that is closer to the retina and a tapetum lucidum, which reflects light, allowing for better night vision.

SPOTS ON DALMATIANS

SPOTS ON DALMATIANS Most humans have watched the movie, A Hundred and One Dalmatians. Have you ever given it a thought if a Dalmatian has 101 spots? No two Dalmatians can have the same spotted pattern. These energetic dogs are always out and about and it's hard for them to sit still and let you count the number of spots they have. #TAH #kenilworth #vet #DidYouKnow #dalmationspots #funfact

A SWEATY AFFAIR

A SWEATY AFFAIR Dogs sweat, but differently than humans, producing sweat only in certain parts of their bodies. When sweat evaporates from the hairless paw pads of canines, a small amount of body heat is released. Why do dogs sweat? Dogs sweat often while recovering from exercise, when sleeping when it's hot outside or when they're a little stressed or anxious. #TAH #kenilworth #vet #didyouknow #dogsweat #asweatyaffair #funpetfacts
