@ericuda I don't understand why you had to switch foods instead of just feeding her less?

@imagebeastmarkbeast Stable, safe, not a big "project". Most people want, and deserve, a nice family pet. They don't want to spend the next 2-3 years of their life dedicated to intensive training protocols. Yes all dogs need training and to learn impulse control and people expect that. What...

@dobyzheee Keep her on leash around the house and in the yard to keep her from running or jumping. Stuff some Kongs (her kibble mixed with canned food/ mashed banana/ yogurt/ something gooey), get some bully sticks and other chews, food puzzles, and you'll be fine. Also it's better for growth...

@imagebeastmarkbeast Covid shutdown proved that pretty much the only area that has shitty communities that don't care about their dogs is The South. I feel so, so sorry for the shelters and rescues there who care and are trying their best and are in areas where people just don't care about their...

@dmconoyer There is a huge shortage of adoptable dogs. There's a reason sketchy rescues are importing "meat dogs" from Asia. There's a reason the sketchy doodle breeders in your town can sell irresponsibly bred puppies for $4k a piece.

@heisnowhere The stinky breath is most likely because he's teething, so there's blood smell. The upper respiratory funk could be any number of things, possibly kennel cough. Worth a vet visit.

@majufeca Find a professional physiotherapist. I'm so sorry you're going through this :( Canine Rehabilitation Institute http://www.caninerehabinstitute.com/Find_A_Therapist.html American Association of Rehabilitation Veterinarians https://www.rehabvets.org/Referrals.lasso Animal Rehab...

@hiddenme Pretty sure he was going under the speed limit as there were a few cars stacked up behind him, but was still probably going 40-45mph.

Last night I was driving home from an agility event with my dogs. I saw a deer in the road as I came around the corner- no, an object? No, two big doodles! One laying on the center line, head up, obviously had been hit by a car, the other standing next to him. I pulled over. I took a step, then...

@mumof4grls Were you using the soft chews, or the tablets? Most dogs don't like the tablets. The soft chews I haven't had any dogs refuse.

@poindexterpaul Your dog cannot run, jump, or play crazy. Take your dog outside on leash for potty. You can keep a leash on your dog around the house, and she can hang out with you always on leash as you lift her onto the couch for snuggles (prevent her from jumping off!), you can even play but...

@jbaxer What procedure did he have? I would call the vet who did the procedures. If he had TPLO, he doesn't have his CCL anymore.

@jayteeclark I haven't used both, just Glycoflex. I do notice a difference in my 12 year old dog.

@jayteeclark I need to go back and check the amounts of glucosamine, chondroitin, etc. to compare, but last I looked Glycoflex Plus was my pick (just checked, I still like Glycoflex Plus over Dasuquin Advanced), and it's what I currently give. It has MSM and green lipped mussel too...

@pugnodei I use Fortiflora, can get it off Chewy, it's a powder you can sprinkle on dry food or mix in to canned. Most dogs seem to like the way it tastes.

@stevej66 It's never too late! You're going to have to go on "lock down" as you would with a brand new 8 week old puppy. Don't give him the chance to mark or pee. I am a big fan of having a crate+pen setup in the main living area of the house. Put down a waterproof mat, like a small section of...

@pugnodei Are you giving probiotics too? I always give them when I give antibiotics. Sending love to your girl! And... I hope you're not feeling bad about her health issues. Dogs develop health issues and we don't know until we know. When there was a persistent issue, you took her in. You did...

@tarper I would call around to different vets, ask if there are low-cost clinics, and even ask your local humane society/shelter.

@peacerespect It can take weeks, if not months. They're so scared when you first get them. They've lost the entire world that they knew and it takes time for realize what I good thing that is. Go her pace, keep inviting her to interact and give her treats, and you'll get there :)

@philosopher8659 Insurance for a 10 year old dog is probably not worth it. It'd be pretty expensive.
