dog care

Hi everyone! Last year after i adopted my 2yr old terrier mix, her urine came back with crystals so dr put her on urinary so. We ate that for 3 months but after research i put her on natural balance (low phosphorous). 9 months later she;s peeing inside (on floor, 3x on couch) in the past week...

Does anyone have any experience with Zesty Paws “8 in 1 multi-Vitamin” bites? I have a 4 year rescue boxer that I am considering giving him the vitamins. Has anyone had any negative impacts of giving the vitamins? What kind of changes did you see in your dog after starting the vitamin?

I've posted here about my dog before and wasn't really into the crate idea, but it's really my only hope for no destruction in the house. I keep seeing people recommending cheap wire crates which my dog would easily break and get out of. I need something that can contain a wild dog with...

ok maybe that’s dramatic but that’s genuinely how it’s been feeling lately. so, for the last month or so my 5yo plott mix has been showing signs of joint stiffness/soreness. I took her to the vet after the new year and had some sort of pictures taken of her hips and joints and sent to a...

Hello r/backpackingdogs, I was wondering about rattlesnake vaccines. My dog (4 year old Pitt mix) and I live in the foothills of LA County and hike together weekly both in LA and Inyo County (where she is originally from). I never had her vaccinated while living up north and never really gave...

So my rescue Yorkie (who we were told was spayed when we rescued her) went into heat a few weeks back right after we moved in to our new home. The neighbor dog (a very large unneutered male) got to her, so our vet said getting her spayed while in heat is the best course of action just to be...

My dog has a cutaneous horn on her face. We’re visiting the vet again in a couple of weeks because it’s gotten quite a bit bigger than it was when we first had it checked out. If anyone here has had experience with this, I’d love to hear about it! I think we will likely want to get it removed...

Concerned chorkie dad here. Our pup has been biting a spot on his back for about a week now. We thought it might be a big bite but he’s starting to gnaw his skin raw and bloody. It’s not terrible but bathing hasn’t helped much. Any cremes or sprays that help? Want to avoid a cone if we can but...

Do any of you have pet insurance and if so, are there ones you’d recommend for a 3 year old Aussie/retriever mix?

My 6 month old polish lowland sheepdog had her spay surgery on Thursday. Her dad watched her on Friday, and I'll be home to watch her until (and including) Tuesday, which brings us to day 5. She hasn't been super interested in licking her incision site, but the vet suited her with a soft e...

Looking for one of those waterproof/coated collars for my beagle. What brands do you like? The only ones I have found so far are the Kurgo ones, but they don't have a big selection of colors or patterns.

My 15 year old girl stopped drinking water 3 weeks ago and I took her to the vet. She was given subcutaneous fluids and diagnosed with CKD stage 1. Her appetite is good but she’s been picky about what she eats. She eats wet food but that’s not enough hydration for her. I try adding water into...

Previous post here Just wanted to say thanks to all the lovely folks who weighed in on my request for safe, edible chews my gulping-prone dog could be trusted with. The winning product turned out to be bully sticks (12"). She could knock out a 6" stick in under 20 minutes, so I upgraded to the...

I have a really high energy lab who is pretty destructive and just insane without being able to get his energy out outside. Right now the weather is super cold (-40s F) and so we only have the ability to take him potty before he has to come in. We do lots of puzzles and mental games to some...

Hello. My family has a 9 year old chocolate lab who has been dry heaving for most of the day. 95% of the time nothing comes up. We did get an x-ray in his throat a week ago but it didn't find anything. One other thing to note is he does have pretty bad allergies. Has anyone experienced...

My Lola (obligatory image 1 and 2) has a thing for chew toys. Especially the ones with squeakers in them. Double especially for the soft, plushy sort with squeakers in them. She loves to chomp away until the squeaker breaks, and then keep noshing on the toy for the noise of the plastic...

He's had this for a little bit and every home remedy I could think of doesn't help the issue. Groomer also has used different shampoos to no luck. He's a 5 y/o Aussie. Picture:

About a year ago my 7 year old pup developed one small sore on his back. It was open and bleeding and would scab over but never would heal. He would scratch at it sometimes but was in a spot he couldn’t reach so I attributed his hair growth through the scab to be the reason it wouldn’t heal...

Our dog Daisy is about 4 and appears to be a mix between a dachshund and a chihuahua. The short version is that I think she because has been with us almost constantly during the quarantine that it's caused her to have anxiety when she can't be with us. The past several nights she has been...

My 14+ y.o Chi pees in her bed all the time!. She will pee outside but she just loves to lay in her bed and I think she gets all nice and comfy and does not want to get up and go outside. I have piddle pads in the kitchen at night and her bed is there too. So doesn’t have to go far to pee. I...
