High blood pressure in dogs is a problem that many owners tend to be careless about, not thinking that it is dangerous. This is because the severity of this condition will not occur to the dog's life immediately. Instead, the damage will gradually occur to various organs, such as the kidneys, heart, and nervous system. If the blood pressure is high for a long time, it can cause various complications in many systems. Although this condition is mostly found in dogs that are old or overweight, we, as owners, should not be complacent. Let's understand this disease to prevent dangers that can be fatal to our dogs.

Our dogs and cats have symptoms of being unable to stand up, head spinning, rolling, head tilting, eye twitching, vomiting, all of which occur suddenly. When dogs and cats have these symptoms, the first thing that owners often wonder is whether the pet has eaten poison or is having a seizure. The answer is that these symptoms are not seizures, but are a group of symptoms of loss of balance. The cause is from lesions in the brain and lesions outside the brain. Lesions in the brain include brain tumors, meningitis, cerebrovascular disease. Lesions outside the brain include otitis, tumors in the ear canal, thyroid, or unknown causes in elderly dogs and cats…
Have you ever been bored and didn't know what to do? We often pick up our phones to play, browse through various media, or read the news, constantly playing the role of internet users and social media detectives. But for dog owners, who knew that seeing our dogs focused on the rectangular device we spend all day with would make them sad? How can being addicted to our phones make dogs sad? 🤔 Experts have come out to say that spending long periods of time on our phones without paying attention to our dogs will worsen the relationship between us and our dogs. It can also cause dogs to become stressed, depressed, and have mental health problems. This information is confirmed by Iain Booth, a British veterinarian and founder of VetUK, who stated that owners' smartphone addiction can cause pets to have both emotional and behavioral problems. This is especially true for dogs, whose behavior depends on their owners. They like to stare at their faces and use their eyes to communicate and understand what they want their owners to do to please them. We've noticed that sometimes when we're on our phones, our dogs will make gestures to demand our attention because they feel they're being left alone. Therefore, if owners neglect their phones and focus on what's on their phones...
It's bedtime. Our little rascal is sound asleep as usual. But as he lay there, he suddenly meowed loudly, wagging his tail, and moving his legs like he was running. Could this mean he was dreaming? But can dogs dream like humans? We're sure many of you have wondered if dogs dream like us when they sleep. And what kind of stories do they dream about? Experts have come out to say that it's not just humans who can dream, but dogs can too. Dr. Gary Richter, a veterinarian specializing in pet health, revealed that "dogs can dream just like humans." He tested brain waves while dogs were sleeping and found that the brain waves of dogs and humans are very similar when they sleep. Humans and dogs have three sleep cycles. The stage when they enter into dreams is called REM (Rapid…

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...
