In case you missed it last week, our planet has reached a milestone. After years of steady acceleration, carbon dioxide (CO₂) levels in the atmosphere have hit 400 parts per million (ppm). When researchers began tracking CO₂ levels in 1958, the level was 313 ppm. Since then, that number has continuously risen. While scientists say there is nothing particularly special about 400 ppm, it serves as psychological threshold, leaving us unable to ignore how fast CO₂, which drives global warming, is increasing on Earth.

The month of May is national Pet Cancer Awareness Month, which gives us a chance to raise a topic that can be intimidating and worrying for many pet owners.
