Dr Chris Brown makes horrifying discovery that EVERY pet owner should know before it’s too late

Dr Chris Brown shared a revelation about animal anatomy that has left fans shocked.

The revelation was a follow up to a post the hunky veterinarian, 45, shared last week about tick season.

In a video posted to Instagram, Brown claimed he had been seeing a lot of pet owners mistaking cat and dog nipples for ticks and had been attempting to remove them.  

He also informed his followers that both male and female cats and dogs have about 8-10 nipples.

‘The moment tick season begins, which is now, I see a dog a week in the vet hospital where their owner has tried to remove their nipple,' he warned. 

On Tuesday, he shared a follow up post to his veterinarian business page elaborating on his nipple warning to owners.

In a caption to a picture showing him holding a sad-looking dog, the Bondi vet star wrote, ‘I may have blown a lot of minds when I casually dropped the fact that both male dogs and cats have nipples on my last post.'

The vet wrote that the most common question he was getting in response to the video was why cats and dogs have so many nipples.

‘I thought I'd explain…Just be prepared for more shocks. And the best dinner party conversation ever,' he wrote.

Chris then explained why male dogs and cats also have nipples with a cheeky reference to his own anatomy.

‘Well, as the male owner of two myself, the answer is actually pretty fascinating. And it's found in the womb.'

He then went on to detail that even though the process of a pet pregnancy is relatively quick at 9 weeks, the nipples develop before the foetus becomes with male or female at 6 weeks.

‘So it's all timing. And weirdly, nipples are prioritised. It's a case of nipples before other “bits.” Or NBOB. So there you go, the fact (and acronym) you never thought you'd learn. You're welcome!'
