Trivia[]
- The title of the episode is a reference to the All Creatures Great and Small franchise that has been adapted to books, movies, and television series.
- This episode and the storyline were adapted into a book as "Doggone It".
- When Rikochet explains the truth about fleas, the music for the 1991 Universal Cartoon Studios logo plays. Coincidentally, the theme for Universal Cartoon Studios was composed by Michael Tavera, who also created the music for ¡Mucha Lucha! during the first two seasons.
- Kentucky Conrad was originally designed as a chubby veterinarian with stars and stripes mask, so they planned to cast George Clooney to voice him, but it never happened.[1]
- A picture of the real-life flea is shown in the background when Rikochet explains what the flea is.

- Minotoro holds a cracked bird egg.
- The Dog Catcher's voice resembles a sound-alike voice of Elvis Presley along with its hairstyle and sunglasses.
- Buena Girl says, "My buena sense is tingling.", which is a reference to when Spider-Man uses spider sense in Marvel Comic's Spider-Man.
- The Lucha Libre flag from "Our Founder" is seen with a large flag in the background as Rikochet makes his speech.
