dog advice

Over the last 3-4 days, my dog has been avoiding eating out of his bowl. He is a nearly 2 y/o healthy, very active Chow Chow/GSD mix with no changes to food or daily routine. He has always been a very good eater, and has healthy stool. This week, for no clear reason, he has been avoiding...

Hi friends! My mutt is just over 2 years old, and I’ve had her just over a year. In that year, she’s fortunate to not have had any massive issues other than anxiety (we love przc). Maybe 6 months ago she was whining a lot and pacing and chewing at her butt. I realized her glands were probably...

I work with a very powerful working dog and am currently using a e collar for her (i try to be safe changing the position of the prongs every 3 hours and keeping it on no longer then 7 or 8) I have heard a lot of hate for them but in my experience E collars have been a god send. maybe I just...

We got a puppy 4 days ago from someone we know who couldn’t take care of it and were looking to give it up. He is 9 weeks old, and we brought him to the vet for initial checkup / anything the vet said he would need. Other than this and the papers we were given, we don’t know how his care was...

My 10 week old total sweetheart Golden-Dane leaps at my (f) arms and hands and is now breaking the skin (thanks to puppy teeth). Some things we’ve tried: A) replace, replace, replace with toys. It’ll work sometimes, and sometimes she’ll bypass the toy and lunge for me again. She has all...

We recently adopted a goldendoodle puppy, almost 1. When the puppy and my 6yr old golden, both male, rest/lay down the puppy gets a mouth full of the older dog and just lays there. He's not biting down, just lays on top of the older dog with a mouth full of the older one. Any idea what's going on?

I have an 8 year old Bichon Frise. I found a tiny growth on his leg. I took a closeup picture so it looks really big but in actuality it's the size of a medium sized skin tag but it's firm and I can feel it under his fur. I created this account just to ask this question bc I'm concerned. I'm...

My little chihuahua just ate maybe a teaspoon of grape jelly while I was making pb&j crackers. Will she be okay? There can’t be much real grape in the jelly right?

My dog is an 8.5 year old Great Dane in generally good health other than obvious signs of aging. She’s has CT skins of her chest and stomach within a year and a recent heart exam with very very early signs of DCM. We also recently added Hill’s prescription diet I/d food to her meals which she...

If this is a question for the wrong sub, please let me know where I could ask it! My mom is an addict and currently homeless and has our two dogs. She’s living in a car and the dogs are with her and I know there’s 0 way they’re being taken care of and my heart hurts so much thinking about it...

So I was in a stable position in life and career(or so i thought). I decided to adopt a rescue (she was found as a stray shelter had no paperwork) 4 months ago. I did not take this lightly or "on a whim" as i had spent several months readying my place. She fit perfect with my lifestyle and the...

Ticks won’t fuck off my dog , it’s been about two weeks and these blood suckers won’t die off . I’ve given him 4 baths , pet armor plus medicine , and have been checking his skin every time we go outside for potty . I’ve cleaned , bleached , changed my own bedding but they seem to latch on him...

So for context, I have a 5 month old golden retriever. Based on my research, it appears that the longer the spay/neutering procedure is held off, the chances of less complications as they grow lessens (again this is just high level research I’ve done please if you’re curious to learn more...

I have a 16 pound Rat Terrier. She got a hold of a peanut m&n. Will 1 harm her?

Hi! To start off with some background information, dog A is 6 yrs M, and dog B is 1 yrs M. There is also a third dog, dog C who is 2 yrs F (although she isn't as prevalent in this). Dog A and B have been pretty much best friends since we got dog B as a puppy. Recently, dog B has become very...

My 12 F overweight (75lbs/34kg) labrador needs a chest x-ray and I’m nervous about the sedation part. She has been coughing every time she wakes up from a nap, gets excited, or just very randomly. She can sit and lay on the table very still, however she does breathe rapidly. Is it possible to...

I walk a jack russell terrier( Tessa,3) and a bulldog rottie mix (Frankie, 11months). Frankie has zero heat tolerance so we just do front yard in the morning and afternoon when it’s hottest - currently 25°C feels like 35°. Tessa has no awareness of how hot she gets so normally when we go for...

I am desperate for some advice regarding my dog who has recently began breaking through her electric fence. I have a 2.5 year old female golden retriever who is normally very well behaved. The one issue we have always had with her is poor recall. When she was a puppy and before we had an...

Hi, my 10 month old male maltipoo puppy has recently developed a habit of growling & biting me when he deems that I’m trying to take something away from him e.g something he’s biting or something in his mouth. And he also does this when I’m cleaning him & i do something he doesn’t enjoy e.g when...
