My 5 month old puppy swallowed his tag, his picture is in the link wearing it for size reference: https://share.icloud.com/photos/0fbkzTnA9Mx9HZqFHGB2VEw-Q He only swallowed the tag itself and not the big ring clip so thank God but I’m still very worried. Lots of the reading I’ve done says it...

Whats the fav toy(toys) of your dog, how do you prep it/maintain it and what size of your dog? What are the tricks you learned to keep dog occupied? Mine is 65-7lbs. She is big into chewing and nose work. Some of the toys i had success are this animal with rawhide replacement rings. I need to...

I’m stuck between two puppies. The benefits of 5 month old would be that they are already crate trained, personality is figured out which fits me, and would be able to be left alone for a bit. The con is that I would love my first dog to be an 8wk puppy bc it’s my first dog. I want to go...

My puppy is 10 months, she is very tiny, the size of a chihuahua, ocasionally I give her dog chew rolls which she bites on for ca 1 hour, mainly trying to get the chicken pieces, but what worries me a bit is that sometimes it sounds so loud, as if she will break her teeths.. this is how the chew...

How often do y’all take your pup in for grooming? Does it make a difference on where you live? Duke gets groomed every 6 weeks and we do baths at home in between that includes de-shedding shampoo and nail trim. He just got groomed a week ago and is still shedding so dang much I have a really...

I recently started taking my puppy outside and was wanting to buy a toy to tire him out, so I was wondering if this toy from amazon would be suitable for 2 month miniature schnauzers...

I’m probably being over dramatic, but I had my first session with my Petco trainer and she is mildly annoying, like she’ll chastise me things that I didn’t even do or mention. Here’s the three times that annoyed me: I was in the store and there was a dog that my puppy was about 8 feet away...

I had to put my 3 month old Jackapoo puppy down this morning after he suffered 5 seizures throughout the night, one right after another increasing in severity and was not coming out of the seizure cycle. At 6 am he was howling and whining no matter what I did and wouldn’t settle in my arms. I...

Our 3 month old puppy is definitely in their chewing phase so we bought some of the tuff brand toys. We got a toy that was an 8 on their tuff scale and she destroyed the legs in 15 minutes. I don’t really know what toys to get that she won’t destroy. Any help appreciated.

When did you feel comfortable leaving your dog unattended (ex. leaving the house with him/her out of the crate, working upstairs while your pup is alone downstairs)? And what are some tips you'd give to help with the anxiety/to prevent puppy from destroying! Our female golden doodle puppy is...

I’ve been reading this sub for a while, before and since getting our 6 month old little bubba. We’re based in the U.K and have a 3/4 English cocker, 1/4 springer spaniel mix. In the very close vicinity where we live, there are 3 cockers, a springer & 2 cockapoos. My brother & friends of ours...

My 6 month old MalinoisX pups head seems slightly small for her body. She eats fresh G/tripe mixed with chicken carcass mince/salmon oil every day 2-3 times day. Walks around 3-4 mile a day has 1.5-2 hrs play with 2 yr old will the head grow to fit?

Like live your best life I guess but your balls haven't even dropped. Anyone else out there with premature humper puppers? Or is an 11 week old sex machine totally normal. puppy tax

I feel like we are always warned about the very active breeds. What are some laid back, less active breeds?

My pup is 5 months old. I've been feeding her using a Kong wobbler, but lately she's gotten bored with it. I need alternatives. We have this which takes way too long to fill and then she empties it really fast. I also have one of these which kind of has the same issue. It also doesn't really...

I have an older dog (guesstimate age is 10) who is my heart and soul. We just had our first baby, and my husband was deployed for the first 4 months of my baby’s life. I think my dog definitely went through a small period of depression as she wasn’t getting all the attention she was used to- she...

I’m thinking it’s a palatably problem as my dog has refused every flavor of food from that brand. He would eat it well for a week or 2 and then refuses to eat. Even with his favorite topper. Not the same experience with other brands we have tried, and have since gone back to Nutrisource. This...

Has this happened to anyone else? My dog started peeing blood on Saturday while I was at work. Thankfully my housemate and gf were home and observed the symptoms and let me know. I left work and we met at the vet. The vet did a physical exam and said it could be anything, basically. We did...

So I’ve been eyeing this $110 running shoes online as I badly need a new one and while I def do have the money, I’m so frugal I question myself 20x if I should spend the money. Meanwhile my dog been having diarrhea/loose stool on and off for a week now, he’s acting normal but bland diet is...
