Dogs are highly adaptable in terms of diet.
- A.
  
  True
- B.
  
  False
Correct Answer
A. True

Explanation
Dogs are highly adaptable in terms of diet because they are omnivores, meaning they can eat both meat and plant-based foods. This adaptability allows them to survive and thrive on a variety of diets, including commercial dog food, homemade meals, or a combination of both. Additionally, dogs have a digestive system that can break down and absorb nutrients from different types of food, making them capable of adjusting to different dietary needs and preferences.

Young puppies up to ______ of age should be allowed to exercise themselves.
- A.
  
  4 months
- B.
  
  5 months
- C.
  
  6 months
- D.
  
  7 months
Correct Answer
C. 6 months

Explanation
Young puppies up to 6 months of age should be allowed to exercise themselves. This is because puppies are still growing and developing during this time, and excessive exercise can put strain on their developing bones and joints. Allowing puppies to exercise at their own pace helps prevent injuries and promotes healthy growth. It is important to gradually increase exercise as the puppy gets older and their bones and joints become stronger.

Desexing should take place at _______ of age, before the female has her first season.
- A.
  
  6 or 7 months
- B.
  
  4 or 5 months
- C.
  
  5 or 6 months
Correct Answer
C. 5 or 6 months

Explanation
Desexing should take place at 5 or 6 months of age, before the female has her first season. This is because desexing at this age helps prevent unwanted pregnancies and reduces the risk of certain health issues such as mammary tumors and uterine infections. Waiting until after the first season increases the chances of the female becoming pregnant and also makes the surgery more complex and potentially riskier. Therefore, it is recommended to desex the female cat at 5 or 6 months of age.

7.

Light-coloured dogs, in general, have weaker skins than darker-coloured dogs.
- A.
  
  True
- B.
  
  False
Correct Answer
A. True

Explanation
Light-colored dogs generally have weaker skins than darker-colored dogs because the pigment melanin, which gives color to the skin, also provides protection against the harmful effects of the sun. Darker-colored dogs have more melanin in their skin, which helps to shield them from UV radiation and reduces the risk of sunburn and skin damage. In contrast, lighter-colored dogs have less melanin, making their skin more susceptible to sunburn and other skin issues.

Rate this question:
8.

An adult dog requires about 10g of food per 650g of body-weight.
- A.
  
  True
- B.
  
  False
Correct Answer
B. False

Explanation
The statement is false because an adult dog requires about 10g of food per 1kg of body weight, not per 650g.
