Why Dogs Fake-Bite Their Owners and How to Correct It
Some dogs open their mouths and pretend to bite when excited, without actually biting down. Although a fake bite won't hurt, the habit can escalate into real biting, so it's worth correcting early. Common causes include teething, over-excitement, alerting you to something, or misreading your reaction — and the fix is consistent correction, chew toys, and 'playing hurt'.

At what age does a Rottweiler start head development?

A two-month-old kitten was given yogurt yesterday, then today refuses kibble, foams at the mouth and has bad breath.
Yogurt is generally not recommended for cats and easily irritates a weak kitten's gut; too much cold yogurt can cause enteritis. The bad breath may also be from teething or stomatitis.
