Your dog’s heart may only be the size of a golf ball (or a tennis ball for large breeds), but it works non-stop to keep them going strong. With a heart rate ranging from 70 to 160 beats per minute, it pumps blood, delivers oxygen, and keeps your pup full of energy and life!

“Did You Know? Dogs Have a ‘Sixth Sense’ for Storms!”

Have you ever noticed your dog acting restless before a storm hits?

That’s because dogs can detect changes in barometric pressure, humidity, and even static electricity in the air—giving them a sort of “weather warning system.”

Common signs your dog senses a storm:

• Pacing or hiding

• Whining or barking

• Clinginess

• Shaking or seeking shelter

Help calm their nerves with a quiet, safe space and reassuring cuddles. If anxiety is severe, talk to your vet for solutions.

Nose

Ears

Around the eyes

🐾 Deworming Pets with Yakult: Myth or Fact? 🤔

Have you heard the claim that Yakult can be used for deworming pets? While probiotics like Yakult can promote gut health, it is NOT a substitute for proper deworming medication. 🚫💊

🔹 Why Do Some Pet Owners Try Yakult?

✔️ It contains probiotics (Lactobacillus casei Shirota) that support digestion.

✔️ It may help improve gut flora, especially after antibiotic use.

✔️ Some believe it can "flush out" parasites—but this is a misconception.

🔹 Why Yakult Can't Replace Dewormers?

🐾 No anti-parasitic properties – Yakult does not kill or remove worms.

🐾 Worms require proper medication – Only veterinary dewormers can effectively treat parasitic infections.

🐾 Some pets are lactose intolerant – Dairy-based products can cause digestive upset.

💡 The Right Way to Deworm Your Pet:

✔️ Vet-approved dewormers – Always use medications prescribed for your pet’s weight and condition.

✔️ Regular schedule – Puppies/kittens need frequent deworming, while adults require periodic treatments.

✔️ Hygiene matters – Clean your pet’s environment to prevent reinfestation.

If you’re unsure about the best deworming plan for your pet, consult your vet! We’re here to help keep your furbabies healthy. 🩺🐶🐱

🐾 The Hidden Dangers of Overfeeding Your Pets 🐾

We all love spoiling our pets with treats and extra food, but did you know that overfeeding can lead to serious health issues? 🐶🐱

🔴 Why Overfeeding is Harmful:
⚖ Obesity – Extra weight puts stress on joints, leading to arthritis.
💔 Heart & Liver Problems – Excess fat strains vital organs.
🩸 Diabetes – Uncontrolled eating can disrupt blood sugar levels.
🤢 Digestive Issues – Overeating may cause bloating, diarrhea, or vomiting.

✅ How to Keep Your Pet’s Diet Balanced:
🥕 Feed appropriate portions based on size, breed, and activity level.
🥩 Choose high-quality pet food with balanced nutrients.
🏃‍♂️ Encourage regular exercise to maintain a healthy weight.
🚫 Avoid too many treats—they should be no more than 10% of daily calories.

Worried about your pet’s weight? Schedule a check-up with us for a personalized nutrition plan!

Recent reports indicate that the heat index in Negros Occidental has reached 40°C (104°F) today, March 18, 2025. This level falls under the "Danger" category, where heat cramps and heat exhaustion are likely, and heat stroke is possible with continued activity.

How This Affects Your Pets:

Heatstroke Risk: Pets can overheat rapidly, leading to serious health issues.

Paw Pad Burns: Hot surfaces can cause painful burns on their paws.

Shelter: Keep them in shaded, cool, or air-conditioned areas.

Exercise: Limit physical activities, especially during peak heat hours.

Surface Awareness: Avoid walking them on hot pavements; if it's too hot for your hand, it's too hot for their paws.

Never Leave Alone: Never leave your pets unattended in vehicles, even for short periods.

🐾 Why Do Pets Shed? Understanding the Fur-tastic Truth! 🐾

Ever wonder why your pet leaves a trail of fur wherever they go? Shedding is a natural process that helps animals get rid of old or damaged hair. But why do some pets shed more than others? Let’s break it down!

🔹 Why Do Pets Shed?

✅ Seasonal Changes – Many pets shed more during spring and fall as they adjust to temperature changes.

✅ Breed Differences – Some breeds, like Huskies and Labradors, shed year-round, while others, like Poodles, shed minimally.

✅ Health & Diet – Poor nutrition, allergies, or skin conditions can lead to excessive shedding.

✅ Stress & Hormones – Changes in environment, pregnancy, or stress can impact fur loss.

💡 How to Manage Shedding:

✔ Brush your pet regularly to reduce loose fur.

✔ Feed them a balanced diet with essential fatty acids for healthy skin and coat.

✔ Bathe them as recommended by your vet.

✔ Check for excessive shedding—it could be a sign of underlying health issues!

🐾 A little shedding is normal, but if your pet is shedding excessively, it’s best to visit your vet for a check-up!

🐝 The Buzz About Bees! 🐝

Did you know that bees play a vital role in our ecosystem? These tiny pollinators help plants grow, ensuring we have fruits, vegetables, and flowers. Without them, food production would drastically decline!

🐾 But did you also know that some pets, especially dogs, may get too curious about bees? While a sting is usually harmless, multiple stings or allergic reactions can be serious. If your pet gets stung, watch out for swelling, difficulty breathing, or excessive drooling—these could be signs of an allergic reaction that needs immediate veterinary care.

🌼 Let’s protect our buzzing friends and keep our pets safe!

🐾 Why Do Dogs and Cats Shake Their Bodies? 🐾

Ever noticed your pet giving a full-body shake, even when they're not wet? That shake isn't just random—it's an important way for them to reset and stay comfortable!

🔹 Reasons Pets Shake Themselves:

✔️ Drying Off – A natural way to remove excess water (especially for dogs!)

✔️ Stress Relief – Helps release tension after a stressful moment

✔️ Waking Up – A morning shake gets their blood flowing

✔️ Itchy Skin – Could indicate allergies, fleas, or skin issues

✔️ Medical Concerns – If excessive shaking occurs, it might signal an ear infection, pain, or neurological issues

If your pet is shaking too often, especially without an obvious reason, it's always best to have them checked by a vet. Stay observant and keep your furry friend happy and healthy! 🐕🐈💙

🐾 The Final Surge: A Heartfelt Goodbye from Your Pet 🐾

Have you ever heard of pets experiencing a sudden burst of energy before passing away? This phenomenon, sometimes called "the final surge" or "terminal lucidity," can happen in dogs and cats nearing the end of their life.

💙 What Does It Look Like?

✔️ A weak pet suddenly becomes active or playful

✔️ They may eat or drink after refusing food for days

✔️ They seek more affection and interaction

💔 Why Does It Happen?

While not fully understood, experts believe it could be:

🔹 A last burst of brain activity

🔹 Endorphins giving a temporary sense of relief

🔹 The body using its remaining energy

🐾 What Can Pet Owners Do?

Cherish these moments—cuddle them, speak softly, and make them feel safe. If they are in discomfort, consult your veterinarian about pain management and palliative care.

Saying goodbye is never easy, but knowing about this final act of love can help pet owners prepare and appreciate their pet’s last moments. 💙🐶🐱

🐾 Can Dogs and Cats Be Vegetarians? 🌱🐶🐱

Many pet owners wonder if their furry companions can thrive on a vegetarian diet. Here’s what you need to know:

🔹 Dogs 🐶 – Possible, But Not Ideal
Dogs are omnivores, meaning they can digest both plant and animal matter. While they can survive on a well-balanced vegetarian diet, it requires careful planning to ensure they get enough protein, amino acids, and essential nutrients like taurine and vitamin B12.

🔹 Cats 🐱 – No, They Are Obligate Carnivores
Cats must eat meat to survive. Their bodies rely on nutrients found only in animal sources, such as taurine, which is crucial for heart and eye health. A plant-based diet would lead to severe deficiencies and health problems.

💡 If you’re considering a diet change for your pet, always consult a veterinarian to ensure their nutritional needs are met!

🐾 Pet Allergies: What You Need to Know! 🐾

Just like humans, pets can suffer from allergies too! Here are some common triggers and symptoms to watch out for:

🌿 Common Allergy Triggers:

🔹 Environmental – Pollen, dust mites, mold, grass

🍖 Food – Chicken, beef, dairy, wheat

🐜 Fleas & Parasites – Flea bites can cause severe allergic reactions

🧴 Household Products – Cleaning supplies, perfumes, or certain shampoos

⚠ Signs of Allergies in Pets:

✅ Excessive scratching or licking

✅ Red, inflamed skin or ear infections

✅ Sneezing, coughing, or watery eyes

✅ Vomiting or diarrhea (food allergies)

If your pet is showing allergy symptoms, consult your veterinarian for proper diagnosis and treatment. Managing allergies early can help keep your pet comfortable and healthy! 🐕🐈💙

🐱 The Mysterious Cat Distribution System! 🐱

Have you ever noticed how cats just seem to “find” their humans, even when no one planned to adopt them? That’s the Cat Distribution System at work!

🔹 What is it?

It’s an internet-famous theory that suggests cats don’t get adopted—they choose their humans by appearing at their doorstep, work, or even sneaking into their homes!

🔹 Why does this happen?

🐾 Stray cats seek food, warmth, and safety.

🐾 Some are naturally curious and love to explore.

🐾 They seem to have an uncanny ability to know where they’ll be loved.

If a cat has mysteriously “found” you, congratulations! You’ve been chosen by the Cat Distribution System. Will you accept your feline overlord? 😺

🐾 Pet Mutations: Nature’s Unique Touch! 🧬

Did you know that mutations can occur in pets, just like in humans? While some mutations lead to health issues, others result in fascinating and harmless traits!

🔹 Polydactyl Cats – Some cats are born with extra toes, making their paws look like mittens! This mutation is harmless and even helps with balance.

🔹 Blue-Eyed Huskies – Some Siberian Huskies have striking blue eyes due to a genetic mutation that affects pigmentation.

🔹 Short-Legged Dogs – Breeds like Dachshunds and Corgis have a natural mutation in their genes that gives them their adorable, short stature.

Mutations are a natural part of evolution and make our pets even more unique! Have you seen any unusual traits in your furry friends?

🐾 Why Do Pets Get Zoomies? 🏃💨

Ever seen your dog or cat suddenly sprint around the house like a furry rocket? That’s called Frenetic Random Activity Periods (FRAPs)—also known as the zoomies!

🐕 Dogs get zoomies when:
✔ They have pent-up energy after resting too long.
✔ They’re excited, like after a bath or meal.
✔ They feel playful or just plain happy!

🐈 Cats get zoomies when:
✔ They’re hunting imaginary prey (instinctive behavior).
✔ They’re releasing extra energy, often at night.
✔ They need to stretch their muscles after a long nap.

Zoomies are completely normal, but if they happen too often or cause injuries, your pet might need more playtime and exercise!

But what makes it so special for our feline friends? 🌱 Why Do Cats Love Catnip?

This reaction is temporary and lasts about 10–15 minutes. 🐾 Interesting Catnip Facts: Around 30% of cats don’t respond to catnip, thanks to genetics. Kittens younger than 3 months typically show no interest in catnip. Some cats may roll, purr, or play wildly, while others relax in bliss. 💡 Is Catnip Safe for Cats? Yes!

🐾 Is Your Dog a Puppy, Teenager, Young Adult, Mature Adult, or Senior? 🐾 Dogs go through several life stages, each with unique needs. Here’s how to identify your dog’s current phase: 🔹 Puppy (Birth to 6 Months) Rapid physical growth, teething, and constant exploration. Needs socialization, basic training, and puppy-specific nutrition. 🔹 Teenager (6 Months to 1.5 Years) Energetic and sometimes rebellious, similar to human teens. Hormonal changes may affect behavior. Consistent training is key. 🔹 Young Adult (1.5 to 3 Years) Physically mature but full of energy. Settling into routines, ideal time for advanced training and activity. 🔹 Mature Adult (3 to 7 Years) Balanced energy levels and established behavior. Regular exercise and a balanced diet maintain health. 🔹 Senior (7+ Years) Slower, enjoys more rest. May show gray fur and signs of aging like joint stiffness. Needs senior-specific care and regular vet check-ups. 🐕 Why It’s Important: Recognizing your dog’s life stage ensures they get the right nutrition, exercise, and healthcare. 📌 Visit South Negros Veterinary Hospital for personalized advice and care for your dog at any stage of life! 📍 Zayco-Tronco Realty Corp.

🐾 Educational Post: Understanding Your Pet’s Body Language 🐾 Pets can’t speak our language, but their body language says a lot! Here's how to interpret some common signals: 🌟 Dogs Tail Wagging: A wagging tail doesn’t always mean happiness! The speed and height of the wag can indicate excitement, fear, or even aggression. Ears Back: Your dog might be feeling scared or submissive. Play Bow: Front legs stretched forward, rear up—this is your dog inviting you or another pet to play! 🌟 Cats Purring: Usually a sign of contentment, but sometimes cats purr when they're in pain. Arched Back & Puff Tail: Your cat is scared or ready to defend itself. Slow Blink: A sign of trust and affection. Try slow-blinking back! 🌟 Rabbits Thumping: Indicates fear or alertness. Flopping Over: When a rabbit dramatically flops onto its side, it means they're relaxed and happy. Ear Position: Upright ears show attentiveness; laid-back ears indicate relaxation or unease, depending on the situation. Learning to read your pet’s body language can deepen your bond and help you respond to their needs effectively. 📌 Visit us to learn more about your pet's behavior and wellness needs! 📍 South Negros Veterinary Hospital, Zayco-Tronco Realty Corp.

Positive Reinforcement: Reward your cat when they use the litter box correctly. 🌟 Dogs Outdoor Routine: Dogs need a set schedule for outdoor potty breaks. Command Training: Use phrases like “Go potty” to establish a cue. Patience & Praise: Be patient and reward them immediately after they do it right. Accidents Happen: Avoid punishment for mistakes. Instead, guide them to the correct spot. 🛑 Remember: Every pet is unique! Tailor your approach to their personality and needs. 📍 Need expert advice?
