Even with the vast amount information available to us with the click of a button, the real truth can be difficult to pin down.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<p>As a concerned or curious pet owner, you probably know that popular pet myths are also plentiful. We,too, see and hear about pet myths accepted as truth (or similarly questioned) fairly often; and, in response, aim to uncover the truth behind a few pet myths below&#8230;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Pet Myths 101<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>A Dog\u2019s Mouth Is Cleaner Than A Human\u2019s<\/strong>: As leaders in pet <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rocklinranchvet.com\/veterinary-services\/pet-dental-care.html\">dental care<\/a>, we can\u2019t begin to understand how this myth evolved. The truth is, your dog\u2019s (and cat\u2019s) mouth is full of bacteria, and it\u2019s truly <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rocklinranchvet.com\/blog\/pet-dental-care-essential\/\">essential<\/a> to support overall dental health by brushing and regular exams. So in short, no; your pet\u2019s mouth is pretty much as \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.rocklinranchvet.com\/blog\/is-dog-dental-care-a-must-do\/\">dirty<\/a>\u201d as your own.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>One Dog Year Equals Seven Human Years<\/strong>: We are happy to discuss your pet\u2019s breed and general lifespan, as this myth is a bit shaky. Some smaller animals do fit into this <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dogyears.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">equation<\/a>, but the ratio decreases with larger animals that tend to have shorter lifespans. Talk to our team about the proper veterinary care for each <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rocklinranchvet.com\/blog\/hitting-the-jackpot-through-loving-senior-cat-care\/\">life stage<\/a>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>A Dry, Warm Nose Means Your Dog Is Sick<\/strong>: A wet, cold nose is typically seen as an indicator of health, but the opposite doesn\u2019t always point to sickness or infection. Look for other signs, such as lethargy or fever over 101 degrees, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rocklinranchvet.com\/contact-us\/\">call us<\/a> for immediate care if you suspect your pet\u2019s body temperature is not what it should be.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>All People Food Is Bad For Pets<\/strong>: We all want to ensure Fluffy or Fido is getting the right <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rocklinranchvet.com\/veterinary-services\/pet-nutrition.html\">nutrition<\/a> from good food, but sometimes that can include items from the fridge or pantry. Healthy fruits or vegetables, such as cantaloupe, carrots, and apples, add a great deal to a pet\u2019s vitality.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Cats Love Milk<\/strong>: Cats are lactose intolerant! Offering a cat a dish of milk or cream can result in painful episodes of diarrhea or vomiting, or both.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Dogs That Eat Grass Are Sick<\/strong>: This myth is confusing because many breeds, such as Labs and retrievers, seem to like the taste of grass and it\u2019s common for them to graze on a green patch. However, dogs sometimes chew on grass to help mitigate <a href=\"https:\/\/www.petcarerx.com\/article\/treating-gastritis-in-dogs-and-cats\/629\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">gastritis<\/a> symptoms or other digestive upset. If it all stays down, you might just have a dog that likes to chomp on grass!<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>A Wagging Tail Means Happiness<\/strong>: Sure, wagging can mean you\u2019ve got a happy hound, but it can also indicate that your pet is agitated, angry, aggressive, or anxious. Whatever triggers a wagging tail, we recommend assessing your pet\u2019s corresponding body language to help understand overall behavior and responses to changing stimuli.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>A Purring Kitty Is Happy a Happy Kitty<\/strong>: Purring remains somewhat of a mystery to experts, but it is most likely a direct reaction to blissful, stressful, or even uncomfortable stimuli. Cats often purr when injured, ill, or stressed, in addition to being cuddled.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>You Can\u2019t Teach An Old Dog New Tricks<\/strong>: This pet myth is just absolutely wrong\u2014and insulting! <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rocklinranchvet.com\/pet-health\/senior-pet-care.html\">Older pets<\/a> can most certainly learn new tricks and, with proper motivation and owner support, your aging or senior cat or dog may just shock you with his or her precision, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rocklinranchvet.com\/blog\/overcoming-common-training-challenges-expert-tips-from-rocklin-ranch-veterinary-hospital\/\">consistency<\/a>, and enthusiasm.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Dogs Are Colorblind<\/strong>: Research shows that canines actually can see colors, but it\u2019s the way the colors are <a href=\"https:\/\/www.livescience.com\/46565-are-dogs-colorblind.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">perceived<\/a> that varies from our own vision. Dogs tend to see better than humans in lower light and can detect motion much quicker than we can.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Pet Myths Demystified<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The trouble with popular pet myths is that a worried pet owner can be led astray by fallacies, and possibly compromise a pet\u2019s health.
