No. Only humans and closely related species such as chimpanzees have a period or menstrual cycle. Other mammals that have a placenta have a similar oestrous cycle, where the lining of the uterus is built up in case of pregnancy over a specific time cycle, but they don't shed the lining of the uterus as blood in the way humans do, they simply reabsorb the unused uterus.

Do dogs go through menopause if so When?

No, menopause is a primate-only event in which menstrual cycles become erratic and then cease. As dogs do not have menstrual cycles, they do not go through menopause. Dogs have estrus cycles, and under certain conditions can go through a period of anestrus when they stop having estrus cycles. Late in life, a female dog may permanently go into anestrus, but this is not all that common.

Why do your periods start earlier every month?

Your periods aren't determined by the dates on the calendar, they are determined by your menstrual cycles and your cycles will never perfectly sync up with the calendar months. The average menstrual cycle is 28 days which is shorter than a month, cycles can change, and months aren't all the same lengths - there's no reason at all to think your period would always occur on the same day every month.

What does the Moon have to do about the Menstrual Cycle?

The moon is believed to have an influence on women's menstrual cycles, not least of all because the average menstrual cycle syncs up with the phases of the moon. Women still use the moon to help regulate their menstrual cycles through using lunaception (sleeping in the dark all except for three days when you sleep in the light of the moon, which is when you'd want to ovulate - or artificial light if you want to try for a different cycle pattern). This is also why all the artificial light via computer screens and lighting in the home is believed to contribute to women's cycle problems.
