dog advice

dog nasal discharge My dog has had unilateral nasal boogers/nuggets since January (about 2 mos now). They have not gotten better or worse. Head x-ray was negative, along with nasal swabs. The boogers are only noticeable if you look up her nose, nothing ever drips out. It’s more of a collection...

large breed puppy with already strong jaws but weak dumb still-growing teeth. He got a hold of a bully stick from a variety pack recently and he LOVED it. I was going to take it from him but for some reason this one seemed to get soft really quickly so i just observed and watched the entire...

(English is not my native language. Also sorry for the length of the text, I’m a little emotional right now.) Last week a colleague (G) messaged me out of the blue asking me if I could sit his dog for three weeks. I was surprised but because I’m working from home this month I said I‘m open to...

Hi, this is my first reddit post and I wanted to ask why my 1 Year Old Golden Retriever female dog is not only less active and not engaging with us like she used to but also Peeing and Pooping inside home (she is potty trained and never pooped or peed inside the house) after I Got a 2 Month Old...

My dog (7months f) won’t stop pissing in my and my roommate’s bedrooms, whenever we left the door open she’ll come inside and piss on the bed or on the floor. When she’s outside of our room she never piss and wait do do it outside, I don’t understand.

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). The only bleeding I've ever noticed during her heats is 1-2 drops however I woke up 2 days ago to a small pool of blood on the floor. It was about the size...

My partner and I have recently had a newborn baby. The birth was unplanned and admits all the chaos, we moved back in with my parents to find a new place. However, since the baby has been born, my partners usually really behaved dog had began to act out of character: using potty inside the...

UPDATE: so I have not had a chance to sit down and talk to her yet today, but she contacted me and said she was going to start putting a bark collar on not only her dog but mine and our roommates puppy…I don’t even know what to say back. I just haven’t responded. Not only is this a total...

Our 7 year old lab was diagnosed with pneumonia about 4 weeks ago (thru x ray) after she had been having some coughing fits. She got so bad we had her go to the emergency vet overnight, but she improved with antibiotics (we think) and was discharged the next day. Back at our usual vet, they gave...

A couple weeks ago, I started to see motorcycle on the road. My dog is still reacting to them (I just didn't know how to her not to chase them when she was a puppy) and will bark and lunge at them. It goes the same way with cats (wildlife is also an issue as I have racoons, skunks, water birds...

Hey all! Coming for some advice on this, our pup managed to get a hold of a used ear plug for sleep recently. We didn’t notice until two hours had passed when there was only one bud left on the table. Context- he tries to eat EVERYTHING! So i’m certain he did in fact eat this as we have seen...

We adopted a 7y/o coonhound mix back in may and we already had a 1y/o cat. The shelter told us he has lived with cats before and did fine. Sometimes he completely ignores her but others he’s completely obsessed with watching her and he will snap at her. It used to only be at meal times, so we...

Resource guarding food but not eating it? Our dog, a small 7.5 lbs havanese, stopped eating her food around 4 days ago. She still happily eats the turkey we give her with her medicine (she takes Prozac). A few months ago, to try and combat some ear irritation she’d been having, we tried...

I was away for a week helping out my sister with her baby and I took one of my dogs with me. My dog, S, (4 y/o female german shepherd, spayed) and I were away for 9 days. Yesterday when we got back, my other german shepherd, L, (2 y/o female, not spayed yet) was being extremely aggressive toward...

Hi, one week ago i got a new dalmatian puppy. She was the smallest of the litter (3.3 kg at 8 weeks) thats around half of the weight she should have had. That was mainly because she was the smallest and the biggest bullied her from 6 weeks to 8 weeks. This week at home I am trying to have...

On mobile so please forgive any formatting errors. I am not exactly sure where to post this either so I figured I'd start here, sorry if it's long but I feel like there is a lot of info to include. This is in Pennsylvania as well. TL;DR at bottom. I have 3 dogs, a Rhodesian Ridgeback (8F) we...

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...

My husband and I both are in the military, he works 12 hour shifts where I have a more conventional M-F schedule. We have a 1.5 year old Pyrenees lab female that is pretty good with dogs generally. My husband is dead set on getting a dogo argentino, though I am very against it as I understand it...

I can’t find anything about this online, it’s all “what if my dog bites another kid” or “what if another dog bit my kid”. So here’s the situation, my 7 year old sister was bit around the eye by my dog Luna, a golden doodle. She was biting a toy, and my sister got to close to her face. Luna...

my husband LOVES dogs and we would love to own one once we move out! We've got quite a bit of time before we get to that point but he wants to do research early. Golden Retriever would have been PERFECT for him but he can't deal with knowing how many health issues that breed has and its huge...
