1 All About Pets • Volume 3 • Issue 2 • Jan–Apr 2023 NUTRITION GUIDE Food allergy is one of the most common allergies or hypersensitivities that can affect dogs. When a dog is allergic to a particular food, the immune system overreacts and creates antibodies against the specific food component, which is typically a protein or complex carbohydrate. Food allergies may appear after exposure to one particular brand, kind, or form of food. Food Allergies in Dogs
All About Pets • Volume 3 • Issue 2 • Jan–Apr 2023 2 The symptoms of food allergy in dogs include itchy skin, paws, or ears as well as gastrointestinal disturbances like vomiting or diarrhea. Hyperactivity, weight loss, lack of vitality, and even hostility are some of the more subtle changes that can be noticed. Each time a pet consumes food containing allergic ingredients, antibodies are released to fight the antigens (the allergy-triggering component), resulting in symptoms. However, allergies can be caused by almost any food item. Specifically, proteins from dairy, beef, chicken, chicken eggs, soy, or wheat gluten are the most frequently encountered dietary allergens in dogs. Food allergies can be diagnosed with a food trial, known as an “elimination trial”, in which the food is fed for 8 to 12 weeks and allergic reactions are observed; this is the best and most accurate way to diagnose a food allergy. For a true elimination trial, the particular diet should not contain any food items that the dog has consumed in the past. Furthermore, it mandates that no additional foods, treats, or supplements—including flavored vitamins and specific parasite preventives—be fed throughout the trial period. If the dog’s allergic symptoms resolve while on the food trial, next, a “food challenge” has to be performed by reintroducing the old food. If the dog’s allergic symptoms resolve, but return within a week of the food challenge, it means that the dog has been definitively diagnosed with a food allergy. Blood tests also help determine whether the dog has food allergies. However, food elimination tests are more effective than a blood test. An elimination diet is selected when the problematic dietary substance has been identified. A veterinarian can help pet parents with selecting hypoallergenic diets that are currently available and suitable for lifelong feeding. There are 3 varieties of hypoallergenic diets: 1. Veterinary hydrolyzed protein diet—In these diets, the protein molecules are broken down to a level to which the dog’s immune system cannot detect them. 2. Veterinary novel protein diets— these do not include any of the ingredients that are found in the dog’s past foods. 3. Home-prepared protein diets— these are new protein meal plans that would not have any ingredient from the past diets. A veterinarian and nutritionist together plan the diet, and the diet frequently includes a balancing supplement. Food allergies in dogs are incurable, and avoidance is the only method of treatment. Medication is required when the allergic episodes are severe; usually, a hypoallergenic diet can be followed to successfully treat the majority of canines. A veterinarian will recommend the best course of action according to each dog’s needs.
3 All About Pets • Volume 3 • Issue 2 • Jan–Apr 2023 PURR ZONE Heartworm Disease in Cats Heartworm disease is caused by a foot-long worm that thrives in the heart and lungs of the host. It causes severe lung disease and heart failure and also damages other organs. Dogs are the natural host for the organism, wherein, the worm lives inside the dog and matures, and produces offspring. However, cats are an atypical host for heartworms; they do not survive in cats till the adult stage. In cats, immature worms too can be dangerous and can cause a condition called heartwormassociated respiratory disease. Symptoms of Heartworm Disease in Cats Symptoms of heartworm disease include cough, asthma, loss of appetite, and weight loss. Difficulty in walking, fainting, or seizures are also observed. However, in some cases, sudden collapse and death could be the first signs. Diagnosis It is better to get your cat screened every 12 months to detect heartworms. Some of the screening methods are antigen and antibody tests, X-ray, ultrasound, and blood tests. Treatment As there is no recommended treatment for heartworm disease in cats, prevention is critical. Monthly heartworm preventives in the form of a spot-on or pill can be given to your cat. The line of treatment is symptomatic and not specific to heartworm; a veterinarian treats the secondary conditions based on the presenting symptoms. Furthermore, the medications used to treat the symptoms in cats is different from those used to treat dogs. If you observe mild symptoms in your pet cat, consult your veterinarian immediately. In cases of severe infection, hospitalization may be required to administer intravenous fluid and medications to treat the symptoms associated with the heart and lungs. In some cases, the veterinarian may also surgically remove the worms. Source: American Heartworm Society. Heartworm in cats https://www.heartwormsociety.org/. Accessed December 6, 2022.
All About Pets • Volume 3 • Issue 2 • Jan–Apr 2023 4 HEALTH AND WELL-BEING Obesity in Dogs Obesity can be the primary factor to successive secondary conditions. Following are some factors that can help identify if your pet dog is suffering from obesity. • Difficulty in seeing or feeling the dog’s ribs and waistline • Abdominal sagging • Rounder face • Excessive panting • Tiredness • Reduced exercise or walks • Disinterest in playing games Obesity can lead to multiple issues such as skin problems, cardiac and respiratory disorders, hormonal problems, cancer, and urogenital disorders, which eventually may lead to premature death. In some cases, obesity may also lead to tracheal collapse and laryngeal paralysis too. Other common conditions associated with pet obesity are diabetes, arthritis, and heart diseases. Fat was thought to be an energy reserve and an insulator; however, it is now known to secrete hormones that affect a lot of physiologic functions such as appetite, inflammation, and insulin sensitivity. Fat also causes an imbalance in water concentration and blood pressure, leading to kidney diseases and hypertension. Obesity can be prevented by providing proper care for your pet. It is important to include regular exercise and the right diet for your pet, track the quantity of food that your pet eats, and regularly visit your veterinarian for weight checks. Obesity is the most common nutritional disorder seen in dogs. Age, gender, reproductive health, exercise score, diet, and environment are some of the factors that contribute to a pet’s obesity.

5 All About Pets • Volume 3 • Issue 2 • Jan–Apr 2023 IN THE NEWS What Makes Cats Knead? Kneading is a cat behavior, wherein the cat moves the paws of the forelegs back and forth, while alternating between the right and left paws. This is commonly referred to as the “kneading dough” or the “making biscuits” action. Generally, a cat loves kneading on soft surfaces such as pillows and blankets, other animals, and even people. Cat parents interpret this motion as a sign of happiness, love, and content. However, there are other hypotheses too for this behavior. Kneading could be reminiscent of kittenhood. Kittens tend to have a rhythmic behavior while nursing on their mothers. Latching and kneading help stimulate milk production. So, this is an inherent act, and it activates the pleasure center of the nervous system. A cat also kneads to express love and affection toward its human parent and as an indication of being comfortable with the care and companionship rendered. Upon finding the parent lying down, a cat may climb onto the parent’s stomach and start kneading. (This can hurt the parent in case the cat’s claws are not trimmed, and it is hard to discourage a pet that has set out to display affection. Hence, it is recommended that parents trim the cat’s claws regularly and keep soft and fuzzy blankets or pillows handy to place over the tummy). Also, cats knead to define their territory. The bottom of a cat’s paw pads has scent glands; kneading releases the scent. A cat uses this scent to communicate with the other cats in the vicinity about its mood and reproductive status. Kneading gives cats a great sense of comfort—the act indicates that a cat is happy, feeling secure and loved, and, at times, ready for a peaceful nap. Sources: PetHelpful.

All About Pets • Volume 3 • Issue 2 • Jan–Apr 2023 6 Benefits of Licking in Animals It is observed that dogs, mice, and ants lick their wounds, during which their saliva spreads all over the wounds and scratches. Licking is an instinctual response in these animals, which soothes them from pain and irritation, and the healing property of saliva helps wounds recover quickly. In addition, licking can remove debris from wounds, while helping to alleviate soreness. According to a study published in the Physiology & Behavior journal, published in 1990, dog saliva kills Streptococcus canis, a bacterium that causes infections in animals, and Escherichia coli. However, while licking wounds, there is a chance of transferring infectious bacteria from the mouth to the injured site. Although saliva has antibacterial property, it cannot be considered as an antimicrobial. Overall, wound licking is a good option for wild animals when there are no alternatives. Pet parents should take a veterinarian’s advise if they observe their pet licking himself/herself excessively and for tips to help their pet avoid the habit. Source: Leffer L.

7 All About Pets • Volume 3 • Issue 2 • Jan–Apr 2023 The Undesirable Side of Cropping and Docking Ear-cropping and tail-docking are 2 medically unnecessary, cosmetic surgical procedures performed on many dog breeds to give them a desirable appearance. These cruel, disfiguring surgeries cause agonizing pain and distress to the dogs. Surgeries of this kind can lead to the inherent risks of anesthesia, blood loss, and infections. Additionally, these procedures also cause a strong psychologic effect to the dogs. Compassionate veterinarians object to the arbitrary removal of animal body parts that are used for communication, balance, and expression. Currently, many countries have introduced legislation that restricts and even prohibits ear-cropping and tail- docking procedures. Source: PeTA.

All About Pets • Volume 3 • Issue 2 • Jan–Apr 2023 8 ESSENTIALS Summer Care for Pets As pets do not sweat it out the same way as humans, summer could cause uneasiness and health issues in pets. The most common are overheating, sunburn, dehydration, and stroke. Grooming A change in weather means changing needs for pets. Keeping your pet well-groomed is necessary to make him/her feel relaxed and rejuvenated. Grooming includes periodic fur trimming (to prevent any tangles and knots) and nail clipping. In addition, it is important to look out for external parasites like ticks, fleas, and lice, because these organisms get more active during summer, and their infection leads to symptoms like fever, vomiting, and itching. Pet parents should be watchful of these symptoms. Use shampoos that have ingredients with cooling properties, such as Aloe vera. Diet During summer, there is a high risk of dehydration. Hence, it is important to give pets a lot of liquids to keep them hydrated. Provide wet food during hotter months, to increase fluid intake. Exercise During summer, keep exercises minimal and indoors, in cooler environments. Outdoor activities should be limited to early mornings or late evenings, when it is not too hot. Observe for symptoms such as excessive panting, drooling, dizziness, and increased heart rate, and stop exercising the pet in case he/she is feeling uneasy. Allow pets to rest in cool places, preferably indoors; and if they are taken outdoors, they should be kept in cool, shady places. They should not be left alone inside cars, as the temperature inside the car can go up to 40°C in 10 minutes. Follow these tips to let your pets have a blissful summer. In case you observe any symptoms or signs of uneasiness in your pet, consult a veterinarian for the right treatment.

Although humans and dogs share a remarkably unique relationship, the two are entirely different species, each shaped by individual evolutionary heritage. A lot of communication gets lost in translation due to the differences in their native tongue. In The Other End of the Leash, Dr McConnell combines wonderful true stories about humans and dogs, with a new, accessible scientific perspective on how they should behave around each other. The book demonstrates how once you start to think about your own behavior from the perspective of your dog, you’ll understand that much of what appears to be dog-disobedience is simply a case of miscommunication. The Other End of the Leash is a revolutionary, new perspective on the human–dog relationship, comparing human behavior with that of dogs. It is a must-read for dog parents.

11 All About Pets • Volume 3 • Issue 2 • Jan–Apr 2023 Significance of the Stripe Pattern in Zebras There is a vast variety of striped animals in the animal kingdom. The tiger and the zebra are two such wellknown animals. The other not-so-common animals are the okapi, striped skunk, striped chipmunk, bongo, ring-tailed lemur, thirteen-lined squirrel, greater kudu, striped mouse, giant-striped mongoose, ferret, African wild ass, striped hyena, and coral snake. The stripes on the zebra and the tiger are similar in pattern, running vertically on their body. Each of these species are unique—the tiger is a predatory species, and the other, the zebra, is an herbivore, which is predated upon. Tigers are found in multiple terrains—from rainforests, grasslands, savannahs, temperate forests, deciduous forests, mangrove swamps, and in the forests of the Tundra. In comparison, Zebras are predominantly found in the African savannah and treeless woodlands. Therefore, it is natural that though the stripes on the animals are similar, they play different roles. Stripe Pattern on Animals in the Wild The stripes on the zebra serve various functions like thermoregulation, warding off flies, and protecting from predators. The stripes on the zebra are helpful in cooling the body. It is postulated that the black stripes help in trapping the heat during cold mornings, and the white stripes support in reflecting heat during the hotter daytime, thus helping in temperature regulation. The striped pattern disorients flies and they cannot land on the surface of the zebra. The flies cannot deaccelerate and seem to “bounce off” the body surface of the zebras. The stripes also help zebras merge in the herd, so that the predators cannot single out one individual animal to predate on. Furthermore, the pattern of stripes on each animal is unique, and it is a useful tool for identifying an individual animal. This is especially true for the foals to identify their mothers and vice versa among the herd. INTERESTING FACTS
All About Pets • Volume 3 • Issue 2 • Jan–Apr 2023 12 The stripes on the tiger, although very similar to that on the zebra, play very different roles. The solitary tiger needs to “hide” to approach its prey. The function of “disruptive coloration” helps distort the bulk of the tiger to blend in with the trees and tall grasses. The bright orange color of the tiger is not visible to the deer, as the deer can process only green and blue colors. This makes them color blind to the tigers that are moving in green forests and grasslands. There is another function that scientists have found regarding the unique pattern of stripes on tigers. This individuality allows scientists and forest officials to correctly establish the count of tigers in a particular area through camera trapping. Earlier, when only pug marks were taken into consideration for the tiger census, it was a difficult task to estimate the population. However, now, with camera trapping, it is easier to identify individual tigers and monitor the tigers’ movements and territories. Sources: Yao-Hua Law.
