Like, I knew about animals going into heat. I just didn't mentally connect it with menstruation. Does this mean most female mammals are out there, in need of period panties?

Dogs do not have a menstrual cycle. Sometimes they bleed when they go into heat. It's generally less blood than a human period. And heat is actually the opposite of menstruation. Heat occurs around ovulation, which for humans happens around the middle of the menstrual cycle (approximately 2 weeks after the first day of bleeding for someone with a regular 28 day cycle).

If you read the wiki I sent you. Actually no. Most animals don't. But dogs have a type of bleeding attached to their heat. That isn't the exact same as humans menstruation. I didn't even know this. But growing up with female dogs and also breeding them. I have always found it natural that they did it.
