We’ve all been there: you’re sitting at the table, enjoying your meal, and those „puppy eyes“ are staring right back at you. That look says it all: „Just one bite, please!“ Most of us give in, but that instant wave of guilt follows – is what I’m eating actually safe for my pet?
Have you ever looked at your dog wagging its tail and thought they were overjoyed, only for them to growl just a few seconds later? Or has your cat scratched you „out of the blue“ while you were petting them, even though they were purring peacefully until that moment?
The first month with a new pet is often full of excitement, but also challenges. Whether you’ve adopted a puppy, an adult dog, a cat, or a kitten, this is the period when the most important habits and boundaries are formed. These first 30 days lay the foundation for a long, harmonious relationship, so it’s important to approach them with patience and consistency.
Cats are known for drinking less water than they should, especially if they eat mostly dry food. This habit goes back to their desert-dwelling ancestors, who relied on moisture from prey rather than frequent drinking.
Many dogs experience significant stress when they hear firecrackers, fireworks, or other sudden loud noises. In those moments, they often look for a hiding spot, tremble, whine, or try to run away. That’s why it’s important for owners to know how to help their dog feel safer and calmer.
The amount of walking a dog needs depends on its breed, age, energy level, and health. Puppies, adult dogs, and senior dogs all have different needs, and there is considerable variation between breeds. Some dogs are energetic and constantly want activity, while others prefer a slower pace and shorter periods of exercise.
Sometimes it seems like your pet is just „a bit itchy“ or has sensitive skin due to the weather, but allergies in dogs and cats are far more common than most owners realize.
At first glance, most owners think their pet is „just a little chubby“ – and it often even seems cute.
