dog care

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...

So the day before yesterday I stepped outside the garage to do something real quick and my five month old frug puppy took a poop inside. It was on a P pad so I wasn’t mad. But it stunk alot so i sprayed air wik all inside while he was following me. And ever since yesterday he is very congested...

My 4 year old pug is crate trained and potty trained. He is suddenly pooping between 2-4am. His last meal is 7/730pm. We had to crate him at night to avoid accidents because he would just get up and poop randomly! Now at least we get up to let him out. Any ideas what could be happening? His...

I have a 14 week old Border Collie X, and I work 10 hour shifts. For now, I have been crating him at night while I sleep (6.5-7 hours), play actively with him (or go for gentle, age appropriate walks, or work on training sessions for 5 minutes at a time, etc) until I leave for work at 2 pm. He...

Wondering if there’s anywhere out there that sells brand-name flea and tick and/or heartworm medicine for lower rates than what I’m getting through my vet? Where do y’all shopping for doggie meds? (or do you shop around at all?)

Two days ago my dog got paralyzed, he couldn't stand up so we took him to the vet. The vet told us that our dog's disc fell out causing near full paralysis with only 1-5% movement left. We know have two choices, put the dog down or take a surgery route which costs about 3-4k ( which we can't...

My aging dog has chronic stomach issues i.e. throwing up and/or skipping meals. It’s become the norm to happen at least once a week. The vet has recommended the same nausea meds but that’s not helping the problem. I’ve added plain yogurt, sweet potatoes that seemed to help but momentary. I’m not...
