HYDERABAD: Rabies virus infection if not treated early is fatal in more than 99 per cent of cases, making it one of the world's deadliest diseases, according to Dr Omesh Kumar Bharti, a field  epidemiologist from Shimla, who received the Padma Shri award for his ground-breaking research to treat rabid dog bite patients at low cost. Rabies is almost always fatal once clinical signs appear. Dr Bharti, in an interview over the phone, told Deccan Chronicle, stated that the mortality rate due to rabies was high, citing WHO figures indicating 18,000 to 20,000 deaths being reported in India annually. The number of dog bites in India had increased six to seven times in the past decade. The Fever Hospital is witnessing more than twice the number of cases as summer approaches, and each day during the summer approximately 120 dog bite patients are treated at the hospital, Dr Bharti told Deccan Chronicle. Dr Bharti said governments should take stringent measures to...

The most intelligent dog breeds in the world have been revealed — and the results might surprise you. Scientists at the University of Helsinki tested 1,000 dogs by setting them seven cognitive and three behavioural tasks, including their ability to read human gestures, how dependent they are, whether they were able to access food in a sealed box, and if they could detour around a transparent V-shaped fence to locate a reward. According to their findings, the Belgian Malinois is the smartest pup , with 35 points out of 39. In second place came Border Collies with 26 points, followed closely by the German breed Hovawart, with 25 points. Other clever dogs include Labrador Retrievers, Border Collies and Golden Retrievers.

Dog hiding under the table If you're the owner of a reactive dog, chances are you have days where it can feel incredibly challenging. From excessive barking at even the slightest noise to lunging or growling at strangers or other dogs when you're out walking, reactive dogs overreact to certain stimuli or situations. While many pet parents try to help their reactive dog by distracting them with the longest lasting dog chews whenever they start to act out, expert dog trainer Adam Spivey says there's something far more profound you can do as a dog owner if your pup is exhibiting signs of reactivity around other people. In a video shared to Instagram, the founder of Southend Dog Training shares his top tip for helping reactive dogs. Watch the clip below or keep reading to find out what Spivey had to say. "The key to helping a nervous and/or reactive dog around people is to stop letting people interact with your dog," Spivey explains. While this may sound like a firm s...

While most people long for an office dog so they can have something to fawn over at work, and ease the tension in an otherwise stressful environment, this woman was left regretting her decision to bring her dachshund to work. Lucy Bowes shared a video on her TikTok account, @thelucyandlolashop, of her energetic dog, Lola, getting the 'zoomies.' She sprints round her office with a squeaky toy, while Bowes tries to get work done in peace. Text across the video reads: "POV: you told everyone in the office your dog would be really well behaved at work and just sleep under your desk all day."

We can probably all agree that kittens are one of the sweetest creatures on Earth, but they're not so sweet when they start biting or scratching you, and if you let them keep behaving that way, they may even hurt you when they're old enough. There could be many reasons why kittens bite—it could be because they're trying to learn about the environment around them, and that's their way to discover new things, or because they're uncomfortable or in pain, among other reasons. A kitten's bite probably won't hurt you because their teeth aren't properly formed yet, but if you don't stop this behavior when they're young, and let them grow into the habit, it can cause problems when they get older, and their feline teeth become more defined and ready to hunt. Newsweek has spoken to veterinarians to understand when kittens usually grow out of their biting phase, and how to help them get over it. Kittens bite for many reasons, and if they haven't stop...

If your dog is jealous, they may whine, bark, growl, or push other pets or people away from you. Dogs may get jealous because they don't want to lose your attention and affection to someone else. Training, playing with your dog one-on-one, and rewarding good behavior can all make a difference. Dogs may be man's best friend, but sometimes, they want to be your only friend.  A jealous dog wants all of your attention and affection, so they'll intervene when they sense a rival for your love. For example, if you try to pet another dog, your pup may shove their rival out of the way so your hand touches their head instead.  Jealousy is fairly common in dogs, but you can usually train them out of possessive or needy behaviors — and it's always better to nip problem behaviors in the bud before your dog's jealous...
