After 28 years in the Pet Shop game I've met all sorts of animal people. There's an entire spectrum to describe, and I'm sure it would take months to document them all.

This week, having taken in two abandoned Hedgehogs, I engaged with some of my worst kinds of animal people...

I'm speaking of those animal people who think they know more than everyone else, and use every opportunity to ensure everyone else, not only knows how clever they are, but how stupid everyone else is. Their approach isn't to constructively and proactively engage in order to support, teach and learn, it's to break down anyone who differs from them.

The details of this weeks engagement aren't important, but to say that my favourite animal people are those who work together, learn together, support together and do everything they can to care for the animals entrusted to us.

Thankfully my world and Peter Bee Pets are full to capacity with my favourite animal people :-)

Have you ever noticed your dog staring at you? According to dog expert Brian Hare, when your dog stares into your eyes, it’s their way of hugging you with their eyes. That’s because when your dog looks at you, the brain hormone oxytocin is released – the same hormone that helps mothers bond with their newborn babies. Oxytocin is released in both dogs and humans when they touch, play, or look into each other’s eyes

While you should be concerned about excessive licking, it’s perfectly normal for your dog to lick their paws. Not only is it your furry friend’s way of self-cleaning, but it’s also a way for them to remember where they’ve been throughout the day. How cool is that?
