A full-grown Yorkie Poo is usually a small dog, but there is no single official adult size because the Yorkie Poo is a Yorkshire Terrier–Poodle mix rather than a standardized breed. Adult size depends heavily on whether the Poodle parent is Toy or Miniature, plus the puppy’s individual genetics. As a practical range, many Yorkie…
Yes, strawberries are considered non-toxic to cats. The ASPCA lists strawberry plants as non-toxic to cats. That does not mean strawberries are a useful or necessary part of a feline diet, though. Cats are obligate carnivores, and fruit should only be an occasional extra. If your healthy adult cat is interested, offer a very small…
Tuxedo cats do not have one scientifically defined personality. “Tuxedo” describes a black-and-white coat pattern, not a breed, so tuxedo cats can come from many different genetic backgrounds and can be bold, shy, affectionate, independent, playful or calm. The Cat Fanciers’ Association makes an important distinction: coat colors and patterns describe appearance and do not…
No one can prove what happens to dogs after death. Questions about heaven, an afterlife or reunion with a pet belong to faith, spirituality and personal belief rather than veterinary science. For many people, believing they may see their dog again brings genuine comfort. Others find meaning in the life they shared, the care they…
A common question, can cats eat tuna? Cats can eat a small amount of plain tuna without it being inherently poisonous, but human tuna should not become a regular meal. Tuna sold for people is not formulated to meet a cat’s complete nutritional needs, and frequent feeding can add too many calories, sodium or fat…
Dog pregnancy lasts about nine weeks. Merck Veterinary Manual gives a typical gestation length of roughly 62–64 days, while breeding date alone can be a poor way to predict the exact due date because conception does not necessarily happen on the day mating occurs. The first three weeks can pass with almost no obvious signs….
Cat pregnancy usually lasts about nine weeks. According to VCA Animal Hospitals, normal feline gestation is typically 60–67 days, averaging roughly 63–65 days. Early pregnancy can be surprisingly subtle, while body changes, fetal growth and nesting become much more obvious during the final few weeks. If you think your cat is pregnant, veterinary confirmation is…
Most dogs circle before lying down because the behavior is deeply rooted in normal canine instinct. Turning, pawing and rearranging bedding may help a dog check the area, flatten the surface, get comfortable and settle into a position that feels safe. For many dogs, it’s simply part of the bedtime routine. That said, circling can…
Cat eye discharge can range from clear tears to white mucus, yellow or green material, brown staining or occasionally blood-tinged fluid. The appearance is worth recording, but colour alone cannot tell you whether the cause is conjunctivitis, an upper respiratory infection, irritation, a corneal injury, blocked tear drainage or another eye problem. Cornell notes that…
Why does my cat have bad breath? Persistent halitosis is commonly associated with oral or dental problems such as plaque-related gingivitis, periodontal disease, painful teeth or inflammation inside the mouth. Food can temporarily affect breath, but consistently unpleasant odour should not simply be accepted as normal. Cornell notes that healthy feline breath should not be…
