Do dogs/cats get cavities?
>> Anonymous
Sure they can. But usually their lifespan is short enough that it doesn't really matter if they get cavities. Their risk factor is a lot lower than humans becasue dogs & cats don't typically eat a lot of sugary foods.

2nd question, dogs can't actually use straws like in the OP pic right?

That dog is probably just chewing on the tip of the straw.

dogs should be able to learn how to use a straw, they can suck at least since that's how they feed when small, but of course the problem is to make it understand how the straw functions, maybe if you show it using a see through straw yourself while it's looking

My dog can drink through a straw. Smaller dogs have an easier time of doing it than larger dogs in my experience though.

While dogs can get caries, they have a better resistance against it than humans do. Also, if they have stuff to chew on their teeth will stay in good health.

Yes. My dog is obsessed with television, and she'll sit on the couch watching it. She's especially interested in war/action movies with a lot of running around or interesting noises, I guess. I have no idea why it catches her fancy. D:

For some reason I used to think that dogs saw to fast to see TV, like when you record TV with a cam corder...
Though I haven't read anything saying otherwise...

dogs can detect flicker at higher frequencies than humans can. most humans can't notice flicker in the 60hz range (the flicker rate of a normal television) and see a smooth image, but dogs can. they could still see the images on the television, it just wouldn't appear as smooth as to a human viewer since it would be constantly flickering.

dogs are also colourblind and can't make out fine details as well as humans.

Actually, recent studies show dogs do see some colors, but not the extent that humans do.

Most humans actually can detect flicker at 60Hz. Just sit in front of a computer monitor running at that frequency for a couple minutes then switch it to something higher like 85Hz or more. I can't stand anything below 80Hz for most use, it tires my eyes and would give me a headache eventually.

Gaming and television aren't as noticeable because there's a lot of movement, which pretty much distracts the eyes rather than a mostly static image to focus on.
