Role of CRTASA

My photo
Canadian Registry of Therapy Animal & Service Animals (CRTASA) is a centralized registry operating in Canada & US since 2010. It registers service & therapy animals and extends annual memberships to verified applicants that also receive a valid CRTASA Photo ID Card to readily confirm their rightful ownership of their official animal to a place of business. Service animals registered by CRTASA include guide dogs and other trained species (eg. helper monkeys, miniature seeing guide horses, etc..) CRTASA does not certify service animals - it only registers those already officially trained/certified to assist their owner with a disability. The standardized CRTASA Photo ID Card alleviates past confusion that variety of ID Cards (issued by different states, provinces and training facilities) posed for businesses across North America - many of whom were unfamiliar with the issuing body. CRTASA members also benefit from point of purchase discounts on animal products/services extended by participating CRTASA corporate fellows.

All About a Dog's Sense of Taste

The "Woof Report",  latest article speaks about the power of a dog's nose versus a dog's developed sense of taste.

They mention three interesting facts about your best friend's sense of taste:
  1. Dogs have about 1,700 taste buds in their mouths while humans have about 9,000 and our feline friends, only around 470;
  2. A dog's sense of taste is the least developed of their senses, yet dogs are capable of detecting bitter, sweet, salty, and sour tastes, the same that we can detect; and
  3. A dog's sense of taste and smell are considered to be closely linked, with dogs likely gathering more information about the food they eat from its smell versus taste.
The Woof Report is a free weekly email newsletter with pup-perfect dog care tips, news, products and more.
