Dogs have a specialized "communication gland" in their ...paws. When dogs scratch the ground after peeing or pooping, they’re not just covering up — they’re actually leaving behind pheromones from glands in their feet to mark territory and communicate with other dogs.
So that dramatic little ground-scratching dance? It's not just flair — it's a smelly doggy status update. 🐾💃🕺
Did you hear? We're looking to expand the team here at Dr Paws while some of our lovely vet ...nurses are off on maternity leave 👼 We're seeking a qualified vet nurse, preferably with 2 years experience in clinic. 🐾For further information please email us at kotara@drpaws.com.au
✨Patient of the Day✨ Meet Obie! He's become a bit of a regular at Dr Paws and we all love ...seeing his big staffy smile everytime he comes to visit. Although it might have something to do with all the yummy treatos he gets. 🧡 #staffymoments
