misc help

Hi. I have a Rhodesian Ridgeback puppy, she is 4.5 months old. Most daycares where I live don't accept puppies under 6 months of age so I assumed that I would have to make do until then (which means traveling back and forth to family and friends who can care for her during my work days)...

I got 4 puppies which will turn 4 weeks old in a few days but not sure what I should feed them. I got suggested this local food brand; Wolflicious (not 100% sure if local) Ingredients Chicken Meal, Brown Rice, Tapioca, Egg Powder Spray Dried, Rice Bran Extracted, Chicken Fat, Salmon oil...

So my six month old mini poodle puppy picked out her “spot” as soon as we got her home. It was her spot for months. I’m keeping a leash on her when she’s inside because we’re not totally potty trained yet, and I need to be able to grab her and run if she looks like she’s thinking about going...

This is part vent, and part a request for advice or prior experience, and ideas. The TLDR is that my 10 week old CKCS puppy jumped from our bed the second day he was home with us (last Thursday) and hurt his back. The longer version of the story is that he started displaying signs of pain...

This question is a hard one to search for and it might sound really silly haha. I have a 7-month old Shepherd-mix living in Midtown Manhattan and I vary her walk routes, but there's only so much variation possible (grid system, round a block is 20-min). Say she has Poop Spots A-G and Pee Spots...

So our breeder gave us the option of taking our pup home at 6 weeks, we politely declined and the breeder has no problems waiting the 8 week mark. However, I called the vet I was planning on taking my future pup to and told her about the situation and she did not seem to think that was weird at...

Hello, I have a puppy who we've had on a trial adoption for 2 weeks. I know my cats are not happy - they hide in my bedroom (puppy isn't allowed in there) all the time now. The puppy has gotten close to both my cats who smelled him, and one of them has hissed at him. I'm afraid to sign the...

Hello! A couple weeks ago a Husky/mostly husky mix was found in our neighborhood. He had no chip (confirmed by 3 locations), was incredibly underweight (less than 40 Lbs), and after 2 weeks of searching no one claimed him. Sparing the other details, we ended up taking him in! So far he seems...

For the first 5 months I had my puppy she was only outside on a leash with me since I lived in a house with no real yard. Now I’m renting a place with a large unfenced yard and can have a tie out and so wanted to use one so she can go outside on her own sometimes. Every time I put her on it, she...

Hi, I’ve never posted before but I’ve been reading here now for a little while & I need help. My adult female lab has always been more dominant than our other dogs. She’s been pretty good with the puppy for the most part. She gets possessive over some toys and will yell at him to leave her...

My 5 month old golden retriever Rudy was attacked and bit by another dog last night, in our backyard while playing with his best friend Tulip. Our upstairs neighbour was dog sitting a dog who doesn't like small dogs, and let him into the backyard without a leash or collar. He immediately grabbed...

My puppers is 5 1/2 months old, Golden retriever, and born in August. I've had him since 8 weeks old, and used to walk him A LOT when it was warm enough, but since I live in Canada sometimes we get very harsh winters, and this is one of them. It was -30 c (-22 F) or lower for a week straight...

Hi! Picking up my first puppy (have had and flown w other dogs before) soon🫣 Please bear with the ramble. This will be the first time flying with a dog in cabin. The puppy is eight weeks to the day (breeder was happy to have them longer but since it's a long journey we ended up having to...

Okok so I use a harness with my puppy cause obviously he pulls on the leash (slowly training him not to) and he’s a shihtzu with a. Tiny neck and I’d rather not have him injury himself but I posted a video about him walking and a few people commented that harnesses are bad for dogs cause it...

Hey! My heeler/mini aussie mix, Samwise, is just over 7 months. He got neutered last Friday and has been an extra special terror (because no major exercise means cooped up, frustrated little cow dog). In general, he's matured so much. 6 months was a good turning point for us. He just still...

Our dachshund sleeps in our room, and somewhere along the way he learned that if he hops up on the bed and licks my partners bald head he'll wake up and bring him out to toilet It's been a few months and this is now routine - If he ignores him and pretend to be asleep he eventually gives up...

I think I found an abandoned puppy… took it to the vet they say is less than 8 weeks old and no chip. They said the shelters are full… so I have never owned a puppy. What do we need to get at least to survive tonight. Help ETA PUPPY TAX

I'm looking to see if anyone knows or could recommend a good crate for their car. I'm having a tough time finding one tall enough for my puppy that will actually fit in the car. I don't know how I got through this with my last dog 10 years ago, I suspect I just kept her in the passenger seat...

I’d really like some advice/ a second opinion on if this is a good schedule for my german shepherd puppy. Sometimes I feel like he isn’t getting enough time outside of the crate because he NEVER truly tires out. Whenever it’s crate time there’s at least 10 minutes of crying. It makes me feel...

So she actually turns 10 weeks on Thursday and I've had her since she was 8 weeks and she is a Goldendoodle. She has been a little terror the last 5 days and I realized she was overtired. So I instituted enforced naps the last couple days with 1 hour up and 2 hours down. Today during her 1 hours...
