Raising a dog is not easy for many people, right? Because we dog owners must always be prepared in every aspect to take care of our dogs as best as possible, especially those who raise female dogs who will have their period (in heat) or what many people have heard of as heat symptoms where dogs will have red liquid flowing out of their genitals similar to women's menstruation. If your dog has these symptoms, you can prepare yourself that your dog is starting to grow up to be a young woman. If your dog is in heat and is not well cared for, it is definitely at risk of pregnancy. So, how should we, as owners, take care of our dogs to deal with this problem? Let's take a look. Each time a dog has its period, a small amount of red liquid will flow out of its genitals, but it will continue to flow. This is why many people may see some dogs wearing diapers. This is to prevent mess. And if you ask if a dog having its period has the same symptoms as a woman having her period, the truth is that it is somewhat similar...
Cat slaves must know that cats are cute animals that slaves willingly surrender to. But sometimes they behave strangely to the point of being confused. Sometimes they rub their heads, sometimes they massage us, but suddenly they ignore us. We can’t guess their mood. Have you ever wondered what these behaviors mean? Let’s learn the meaning of these behaviors. 1. They can’t help but ask to sleep in a box. Most cats like to be in a box or a small space because it makes them feel safe, relaxed, and stress-free. So if you see them sleeping comfortably in a box, don’t disturb them because they are in a state of ultimate relaxation. Give them some personal space. 2. Cats are great masseuses!…
For those who raise dogs, when they have to travel somewhere, they must think hard because I believe that no one wants to leave their dog alone at home. If they go on a trip, they won't have fun because they are worried about what will happen to their little one. Sometimes, taking your dog with you makes us feel more secure and happier because we have a close friend. But the problem is that some dogs are not used to riding in a car.

Cat slaves, gather here. For those slaves who have indulged their cats until they are used to it, please stop for a while. We can’t let them eat everything they want, especially some foods that may be harmful to their health, but slaves like us never knew before. Some foods are so dangerous to cats that they may even die. Let’s see what foods cats shouldn’t eat. 1. Paracetamol For those who give their cats paracetamol when they are sick, admit it because you are doing something very wrong. Paracetamol is a very dangerous drug for cats.

Taking care of a dog is not easy for many people, right? In addition to taking care of food and the environment, taking care of physical health, especially dental and gum health, is something that many dog owners should not neglect. Because the color and characteristics of the mucous membrane can be used to assess the initial health of the dog. It is said that the color and characteristics of the mucous membrane are considered a good representative for assessing the initial health of the animal because this organ is the most distal tissue that can indicate the state of blood circulation and the amount of oxygen that nourishes the body. Since the mucous membrane is a relatively thin area with a large amount of blood vessels, if there is a change in blood circulation, we will be able to easily observe it, especially the mucous membrane at the gums. There is an easy way to check the health of the teeth and gums of a puppy. The normal color of the gums is pink. The gums should be moist, not dry or swollen. When you press the gums with your finger and release, the gums should change from white from pressing to pink again within 1-2 seconds, which means good blood circulation. If it lasts longer, it indicates abnormal blood circulation, which can be caused by many reasons. What does the color of the gums indicate?
