dog care

So currently, I work from home Monday-Friday and then work an in person job Saturday-Sunday. Usually on the weekends, my boyfriend is home with our 3 y/o chihuahua while I’m at work. The past two weekends my boyfriend has told me that he’s thrown up while I’m not home in the morning. He hasn’t...

Hello, I recently took my dog to the vet due to shifting of his teeth (the tooth right next to his bottom fang started pointing outwards) and while brushing, I found it to be loose. The vet mentioned that this tooth would need to be extracted but they said that it wasn't a procedure that had to...

Dear all, looking for advice and similar experiences. My dog scratches open his wound which is right next to his right eye. Any ideas of how to sleep at relative ease tonight? I’m afraid he opens it when I’m asleep.

Seems pretty high to me and I hadn’t planned to budget that in for the year… Planning to shop around but no idea what I should be looking for, anyone have a price range? Given that animal shelters do this constantly on low budgets, I can’t imagine $700 per dog is the norm. Edit: I live in the US

Dear Redditors of Dog Care, after a little bit of research I have recently found out that my dog is compulsively licking her front right paw because of a pH imbalance causing her to get a yeast infection. The solution to this (as many might already know) is to change the diet of my dog, usually...

Hey everyone! I’m new here and I just have a question about my Female Maltese puppy Amy. She’s currently 4 months old and I’ve realized through my camera’s recording that she keeps waking up every 15-30 minute every night and even during her afternoon naps. I went to the vet already and let them...

My 3 year old dog has been fine until he got a haircut recently. After that I have noticed he has been behaving strange. He started randomly twitching/flinching toward his bum. When he gets excited he walks toward me in a u shape. I tried seeing if he’s in pain applying pressure in spots but...

Best brush, toys, grooming routine etc! Any and all advice welcome for first time adopters here 💕

Hi r/dogcare, My pomeranian poodle has a bit of red dry spots around his undercoat up to his neck. Can anyone advice me on what cause these and if any remedies are available? Hope to hear from you soon, thank you!

My parent’s dog. They haven’t been on a vacation since we got him. During that time, all of my grandparents have passed away and they are finally making a trip to go visit their extended family. We’ve had Max for 5 years now, we got him as a rescue when he was about 2 so he’s 7. Shih Zu...

I took my dog (Parker, almost 6 years old, neutered male, Coonhound mix) to the vet today for his vaccinations and annual check up. He’s all-around heathy but the vet was pushing teeth cleaning really hard. He said Parker has some tartar build up that is totally normal but he wants to clean it...

As the title says, we have a 7.5 month old miniature foxy terrier who has suddenly grown disinterested in his food. He is otherwise healthy and still has energy to play and go on walks but when it comes to his food, he takes one snuff of it and turns his nose. We have tried offering him some of...

I recently adopted a 4 year old Pocket Pitbull (pitbull mix). She's great with people, doesn't mind strangers or kids, but as is typical for this breed she's a BULLY. Adoption paperwork described her as 'obsessive' with other dogs but I think that's understating it. We live in the city, and I...

Solved Thank you: I have a medium size (25 lbs) poodle mix. It gets warm here, and the beaches here do not allow dogs. He is black and is mostly inside, but likes to run around and lay down in the backyard. He does not overheat. He likes water and I thought it would be nice to get him a...

Where we are, temperatures early in the day are 32 C / 90 F and just get hotter. All of the sidewalks are completely shaded but the air is super hot and humid. The pavement is just as hot as the air but not burning. I can touch it. Anyway, I have been doing a long walk in the morning when it is...

I currently have a now 7 month old standard poodle (male). The kids (I have a 5 year old and an 8 year old) would really like another dog. I wouldn’t mind either. What age is best for bringing another pet home? Walter, our spoo, is gentle, well behaved, and very calm for a puppy. He gets along...

I'm not totally sure if this is the best place to post this, but it's not really a training problem, I think. My boyfriend and I adopted a little terrier mix/mutt yesterday morning. He's been taking really well to his new name, his new home, and generally been very well-behaved. Thing is, he's...

Hey! Sorry for the slightly dramatic title. My dog is around 6 and a half. He’s a corgi/ausi mix. He’s had allergies for most of his life. Unfortunately I have been going through a financial hardship and haven’t been able to afford his allergy shots for a while. I did switch him entirely off...

Hello! I have a 7 month old Pomeranian that has separation anxiety. She is fixed, crate trained and I work about 8~9 hours a day on average. She's fine if I am here, even if she's in her crate. I can usually drape a blanket over her crate if she's upset for some reason and she hushes. Due to a...

I have a mini schnauzer - SARGE!!- who is 19 months old. He suffers from a condition that so far no one has been able to diagnose. He’s been to the regular vet, an oncologist and to the animal hospital at the University of Florida. He’s been poked, prodded, scanned, and every other test under...
