    Vomiting mostly undigested food

    My 3 y/o GSD mix has been vomiting mostly undigested food almost 4-5 hours after eating. It’s not every day, but i would say once a month, maybe less. It didn’t start until he was probably around 2-2 1/2. It’s happened the last two nights, but he has no problem eating in the morning. He’s also...

    Female dog is bleeding during heat but far more than usual

    She's a Shih Tzu and is 8 yrs old. I understand that we should've gotten her spayed and am okay with getting told off about it (rightfully).

    My dogs won't stop pottying on the floor!

    So, I know this is our fault. Our dogs are not super well trained. To be fair, they haven't had to be before this. Things have been fine up until now. My roommate and I have five dogs between us plus one foster dog. The foster dog and my older dog are not the problem. They are very good at...
