Prepare to be surprised! A recent survey has uncovered some widespread pet care myths that many of us believe.
Let’s start with dogs. Contrary to popular belief, a wagging tail doesn’t always mean your pup is overjoyed. It could also indicate excitement or a sense of awareness. And don’t assume a cold, wet nose is a sign of good health—it could simply mean your dog has been licking it, which actually helps them smell better.
Now let’s talk about cats. While they can see in very low light, they cannot see in complete darkness. And although it’s commonly claimed that cats always land on their feet, their ability to do so is influenced by their overall well-being.
As for food, it’s not true that all human food is harmful to pets. In fact, many pet parents admit to occasionally sharing their food with their furry companions, with dog owners being more likely to do so than cat owners. Cats, however, can safely enjoy some human foods such as tuna, salmon, cheese, spinach, and bananas. However, it’s important to note that some cats may be lactose intolerant, so be cautious with milk.
One fascinating myth that has been debunked is that a raw diet is bad for pets. In reality, frozen raw and freeze-dried raw pet food can provide excellent nutritional value, supporting their energy levels and joint health. This type of diet mimics their ancestral eating habits and is convenient to serve.
So, the next time you think you know all about pet care, remember these surprising revelations. By dispelling these myths, we can ensure our beloved companions receive the optimal care they deserve.
