Why does my dog nibble on me?

Short answer: it's usually communication, not aggression. That gentle "corn cobbing" with the front teeth almost always means one of four things:

- Affection: social grooming, the same way dogs groom packmates to bond
- Play: mouthing your hand is an invitation, not a bite
- Teething: puppies under ~7 months chew to soothe sore gums
- Bite inhibition: they're learning how much pressure is okay

When to pay closer attention: a stiff body and hard stare, a low growl or snarl, or pressure that actually hurts. Those are stress signals, not play.

The fix for nuisance nibbling is redirection — the second you feel teeth, trade your hand for a chew toy. It teaches what to do instead of just saying no.

Why do cats chirp?

Cats chirp — also called chattering or chittering — as a short, high-pitched burst of sound triggered by focused excitement, usually when they spot prey like a bird outside the window.

What cat chirping usually means:
- Excitement or frustration while watching prey they can't reach
- A possible attempt to mimic bird calls as a hunting strategy
- Friendly greeting or attention-seeking toward you
- Play mode — many cats chirp mid-pounce at a toy

Is it normal? Yes. Chirping is a healthy part of a cat's vocal range, and kittens do it too. But if the chirping is persistent and paired with stress signals or other behavior changes, it's worth a vet visit.

Best way to respond: give them something to hunt — a prey-like toy, dedicated play time, and a window with a good view.

Dogs sleep a lot—but how much sleep is actually normal?

The answer depends on their age, breed, activity level, and overall health. While puppies and senior dogs often need more rest, a sudden increase in sleep or changes in your dog's energy could be a sign that something isn't right.
Knowing the difference between normal napping and a potential health concern can help you catch problems early and keep your pup feeling their best.

Read our latest blog to learn:
• How many hours of sleep dogs really need
• When extra sleep is completely normal
• Signs it's time to schedule a veterinary visit
