Is everything in a dog’s world black and white? The idea that dogs can’t see color was widely accepted for decades, but new research and conclusions about canine anatomy and behavior have shown that while dogs can’t see the same colors humans do, dogs can still see some colors. This means the best toys for your dog may be those in blue and yellow hues.

The open-mouth sniffing face is caused by something called the “flehmen reaction,” and it’s perfectly normal. When your feline friend takes a sniff and leaves its mouth open for a few seconds, it’s actually drawing air into the mouth and up into Jacobson’s organ. This action helps the organ to process the scent more deeply than your cat’s nose can and sends signals to your cat’s brain. Usually, cats will have the flehmen reaction when sniffing urine or f***s from another cat, since these substances contain pheromones. Do your cats do this?

As we dive deeper into our series on toxic holiday ingredients for pets, let’s shine a light on macadamia nuts. These crunchy treats may be delightful for humans, but they can cause serious issues for dogs. Symptoms like weakness, tremors, and even hyperthermia can occur if a pet ingests these nuts. Keep your furry friends safe by steering clear of foods that contain macadamia nuts this holiday season! Always check ingredients before sharing festive goodies with your pets to ensure they remain happy and healthy during the celebrations. Your vigilance can make all the difference!

As we continue our series on toxic holiday ingredients for pets, let’s talk about raisins, grapes, and currants. These seemingly harmless treats can be extremely dangerous for your furry friends.

In our second installment of the series on toxic holiday ingredients for pets, we’re highlighting xylitol. This common sweetener, found in many sugar-free products, is incredibly harmful to dogs. Even small amounts can cause a dangerous drop in blood sugar and lead to serious health issues. Keep an eye out for gum, candies, and baked goods that may contain this ingredient. Always check labels and keep your furry friends safe during the festive season!

As we count down to the holidays, it's essential to ensure our furry friends stay safe amidst the festivities. First up on our series of toxic ingredients for pets: chocolate! While it’s a delicious treat for us, chocolate contains substances like theobromine and caffeine that can be harmful to dogs and cats. Even small amounts can lead to serious health issues, so keep those holiday goodies out of reach. Share this post to inform other pet parents out there!

Easiest way to prevent hairballs is simply to brush your cat regularly, especially for long-haired breeds. When you brush out the loose fur, you remove the stuff they’d otherwise swallow during grooming. Less fur ingested = fewer hairballs = a happier cat! Long-haired cats may need daily brushing while short-haired kitties benefit from a few times a week. Want expert tips? Contact us today at (301) 663-6531

Does your dog shower you with endless licks? Doggy kisses are your dog’s way of showing affection, asking for attention, or even saying “I missed you.” In some cases, it’s a learned behavior because if you smile or pet them when they lick, they know it gets your attention. Excessive licking can also be a sign of anxiety, discomfort, or underlying health issues. If your dog licks nonstop, let’s talk! Call us at (301) 663-6531.

Did you know that our feline friends are true vocal artists? Cats can express themselves with up to 100 different sounds, showcasing their unique personalities and emotions. In comparison, dogs have a much simpler vocal range with about 10 distinct sounds. This incredible variety allows cats to communicate in ways that often leave us fascinated and amused. From soft purrs to demanding meows, each sound tells a story.
