Why Feed Your Dog Vegan Treats

In the vast majority of cases, treatment often isn’t started until very late in the disease process, because there are few outward clinical signs in the early stages. Consequently, periodontal disease is also the most undertreated animal health problem. Gum disease affects a lot more...

Ants vs. Dogs in Cancer-Sniffing Showdown? Perhaps
A team of researchers in France has reportedly trained ants to recognize the smell of cancer cells, which could have the potential for important human applications.

In fact, ants even use their keen sense of smell to communicate with and distinguish between other ants in heavily populated colonies. Predominantly haling from Sorbonne University, the...
Adorable Husky-Mix Siblings with Unusual “Bandit” Eye Markings Need Homes
Puppies are cute regardless, but husky puppies can be outrageously cute — especially when they have distinctive markings. Whether you want to liken them to raccoon-type bandit masks or even Where’s Waldo’s spectacles, Janis and Jerry G have quite a look going on. While there’s no doubt they’ve got husky in their DNA, Janis, in particular, bears a slight resemblance to a hyena with her ears outlined with black shading, but of course, that’s not the case. She does have a very unique look about her, though....
