Você acha que seu cão consegue perceber quando você está com raiva, em vez de triste? Uma nova pesquisa sobre o cérebro dos cães sugere que a resposta pode ser mais complicada do que você imagina
Think your dog can tell when you’re angry rather than sad? New research inside dogs’ brains suggests the answer might be more complicated than you think.
When people get hot, we can strip off clothing and we sweat to cool down. But animals such as cats and dogs aren’t so lucky.
Dogs don’t stockpile food due to anxiety about impending disaster – they’re revealing how their evolutionary past still shapes modern behaviours.
It’s the dirty secret of dog ownership nobody wants to talk about.
Science from a four-paw perspective can help us reconsider our everyday interactions with dogs and influence positive changes so we can live well, together.
The researchers hope the findings will help dog owners make more informed decisions when selecting their next furry friend.
From fluffy to sleek, straight to curly – what’s the science behind the dog fur on your couch?
Are plant-based treats like catnip, cat thyme and silver vine safe for cats? And it it ethical to use them?
