Did you know there’s another dog STD called Canine Transmissible Venereal Tumor (CTVT)? Yes, that’s right—a sexually transmitted cancer. It’s a tumor that spreads through direct contact during mating, like a gangrene chia pet on your dog’s genitals. The twist? It’s usually not fatal and can be treated with chemotherapy or surgery. And get this: scientists believe this cancer originated from a single dog that lived 11,000 years ago. That dog’s STD cells are still alive today, hopping from mutt to mutt like an ancient, ugly vampire. So if your dog gets CTVT, technically it’s from a prehistoric ancestor’s bad decisions. Blame Gary the Neolithic wolfdog.
In conclusion, yes, dogs get STDs. They’re gross, they’re treatable, and they’re a reminder that even our best friends can make terrible choices. So keep your dog fixed, avoid sketchy romantic encounters at the dog park, and remember: if your pup starts acting weird downstairs, it’s probably just an STD—not a second personality. Now go give your dog a belly rub, but maybe wear gloves if they’ve been sniffling around the neighbor’s unneutered poodle.
