Do cats and dogs have periods?
They do not have periods, exactly; rather, they go into heat. In humans, menstruation is believed to be a "womb cleaning" that occurs at the opposite end of the roughly-monthly menstrual cycle from the fertile times. In dogs and cats, the equivalent clean-out seems to happen immediately before and as the animal becomes fertile. A little blood spotting is quite common, especially in dogs, as a dog "comes into heat" or enters her fertile period. Cats seem to be more fastidious and leave little sign of spotting.
Do other animals have periods?
Yes, some species of mammals, such as monkeys, apes, and some bats, have menstrual cycles similar to humans. Other animals, like dogs and cats, have estrous cycles, which are similar but do not involve a shedding of the uterine lining like human periods.
Why don't any animals have periods?
Only humans, apes and some monkeys menstruate. Other mammals like dogs and cats sometimes will bleed a little when they are in heat, which is when they ovulate and mate, but they do not have menstrual cycles. Having a menstrual cycle means you do not go into heat. Because of this, humans are able to conceive during a period every month, whereas dogs only go into heat once or twice a year.
