dog care

I have a 7 old mixed breed puppy, she weighs about 21 odds. Mom was half GSD, half Labrador and dad was a Jack Russel mix. She is awesome and smart and full of all the right types of energy. When I picked her up Monday evening, they told me she would have to be in the E Collar for 2 weeks! And...

Hello all. So I am having some issues with my dog. There is a short term issue and a long term issue. Background: I adopted my dog (Beagle/Basset Hound) 3 years ago from a local humane society. He was found behind a convenience store. He was taken in and recovered at the shelter where I...

Every weekday, everyone in my house goes out to work or school. Everyone is gone by 8:30 AM, and no one is home until about 4:30 PM. This leaves our pets without us for a whole 8 hours. We have four pets, but three of them are completely fine without us at home. What I'm asking about is our...

I’m a remote worker so am home with my dogs most all the time. I crate them a few evenings a week after some exercise and fun so I can go out. They get a kong and mostly snooze the whole time (I’ve checked on my camera). My two pups are 4 and 5 and have done well alone in the house while I’m...

*Update: It wasn’t her :( * I was living in North Carolina and getting ready to move to Atlanta. I came home from a funeral one day and my roommate said she left her outside and said she must have ran away but I didn’t believe her. My dog might chase squirrels but she’s domesticated as heck and...

Just had my dog spayed two days ago. We’re staying in a separate room away from the main house, surrounded by our yard. After spaying, we were advised by our vet that we were allowed to go out after 5 days (Idk if he meant our yard or the streets) On the first day, my dog was pointing at door...

I just discovered my 4 year old pitbull has cancer, he has a mast cell tumor under his front leg, it has gotten very big in only 2 weeks and they vets think it is aggressive, we haven’t got the full results from the biopsy saying how far it has spread and what stage it is, we plan on doing a...

3 years ago my dog had both CCL’s surgically repaired around 6 months apart. His recovery has been fantastic and he for the past 18 months has been the most energetic he has ever been in his life (7 years). Today I was at the park throwing a stick for him, he landed on his hind leg and fell...

Hey all, So I recently adopted a dog and, as I'm sure a lot of first time dog owners are, I'm worried about whether I'm providing enough or too much exercise for my boy. Shelter said he is a Catahoula mix, so I know he has a big exercise requirement, but he is also almost 7 years old so I don't...

My mother and I had to make the difficult decision to put our beloved seven year old boxer to sleep today. Upon visiting the vet, we found out he had a tumor in his chest in an area that could not be operated on. He recently started coughing up blood and occasionally vomiting up small amounts of...

Our 2 year old shepherd mix has been getting up to going out a lot over the past few nights, which is way more than a rare one per night. We thought it might have been an upset stomach after eating some cooked chicken over the weekend. Her stools have been mixed - some more normal and cohesive...

In the past two weeks, our 2 y/o dandie terrier mix, has taken to biting his hindquarters and pulling the hair out and even chewing it. During the day it doesn't seem to bother him as much, or if he's super distracted- like visiting with doggie friends. He doesn't have a whole lot of hair on his...

Hi, I have a staffy x blue heeler that is releasing her anal gland at least once daily and some days twice. She isn’t in distress and isn’t scooting but will lick the affected area when the glands express. We recently added brown rice (roughly 4 weeks ago) to her daily dinner Which didn’t...

Is it OK to give your dog vitamins, such as liquid B vitamins or C? Any ideas or suggestions?

Buckle up this might be long. It had been four months since my dog’s (lab pit mix, 6yo) last grooming and his shedding was getting particularly bad. So Wed (10/7) he went to the groomer. I pick him up and the groomer said he was worried as he found a bald spot and that the fur was coming off...
