The heart is the most important organ in the body of dogs and cats. However, most dog and cat owners do not know that they can also have heart disease, and may neglect some symptoms that occur. In fact, to see if your pet has heart disease or not, just looking at the initial symptoms with the naked eye may not be clear. Because heart disease can be both symptomatic and asymptomatic, many owners may wonder how we can know if our pets are starting to have heart disease. Therefore, let's understand heart disease in dogs and cats before it is too late. Factors affecting heart disease in dogs and cats Age is divided into congenital heart disease, which is often found in dogs less than 1 year old, and heart disease that occurs later in life, which is often found in dogs aged 6 years and older. Breed Large dogs are often found to have heart disease problems from enlarged heart chambers, while small dogs are often found to have heart valve leaks or heart valves that do not close properly.
Have you ever seen a dog being aggressive, threatening or barking at others? We might think that this is normal for dogs. Who would have thought that it might mean that the dog is afraid, stressed or anxious about the environment it is facing, to the point of affecting its mental state? Of course, no one wants to see their dog feeling afraid or anxious, right? But what should you do if your dog shows signs of fear? Let's try to understand the problem of fear in dogs. Dogs are like people who will respond to things around them. When something happens that has a serious effect on their minds or lives and that event happens again later, those things will become deep-seated fears because fear is often the result of past experiences. The causes of fear in dogs can be caused by many factors, such as never having left the house to meet strange people or dogs, or a sudden change in environment can make dogs feel unsafe, anxious and scared until they become stressed. Especially if our dogs have bad experiences with strange people or dogs, or have been hurt or injured before, they may choose to protect themselves by showing aggressive behavior. A dog being afraid definitely has a negative effect on their mental state, but it can be a big problem for owners when they need to take their dogs out of the house...
