“Cats with stomatitis may also receive medications and therapies to control inflammation, infection and pain,” Dr. McCullough said. “In some cases, veterinarians may prescribe a special diet, such as a hypoallergenic diet. Pet parents should also slowly acclimate their cat to tooth brushing using positive reinforcement.”

Poisonous Foods For Dogs
https://www.msn.com/en-us/health/nutrition/29-foods-you-may-not-know-are-poisonous-to-dogs/ss-AAZURJf?ocid=msnews
Garlic is an allium, a family of foods that can be fatal to dogs due to a compound called thiosulfate that damages red blood cells. It takes a lot of garlic to cause toxicity but some breeds, particularly Japanese ones (such as Akitas and Shiba Inus), are particularly susceptible. “Signs of garlic poisoning can be delayed and not apparent for several days,” explains the Pet Poison Helpline. “While tiny amounts of these foods in some pets, especially dogs, may be safe, large amounts can be very toxic.”

Got Anxiety? There May Be A Cat For That!
https://www.purewow.com/family/best-cats-for-people-with-anxiety
Many people with anxiety have found adopting pets soothes their souls. Pets have been known to lower cortisol levels, reduce stress and dampen our human fight or flight instincts (which often lead to anxiety). The Cornell Feline Health Center at Cornell University says petting a cat, even for just a few minutes, can improve mood. Dogs are often the go-to when it comes to adopting an emotional support animal. This makes sense for folks who may need a pet they can take with them out into the world. However, cats could prove the better choice for some people with anxiety.
