Did You Know?

  • According to a recent survey, the most popular name for a dog is Max. Other popular names include Molly, Sam, Zach, and Maggie.
  • Every known dog, except the chow, has a pink tongue – a chow’s tongue is black.
  • The oldest dog ever died at age 29
  • Cats, unlike dogs, do not learn tricks to win your approval. Cats can be taught to perform tasks such as retrieving toys and jumping through hoops – but it may take patience and perseverance…and quite a few yummy treats for your feline.
  • A cat can be either right-pawed or left-pawed.
  • A cat’s tongue is scratchy because it’s lined with papillae – tiny backwards hooks that help to hold prey in place.
  • A fifteen year old cat has probably spent ten years of its life sleeping.
  • A female cat may have three to seven kittens every four months. This is why having your pets spayed and neutered is so important.
