question

We have three dogs all rescues, two are older M(10?), F(7/9?) and one is younger M(3). The female Stella, puts her treats down in front of her or in her bed and lays down when we give them to her. They can be high value treats or regular treats. She eventually eats them - sometimes a few...

Hi there, I have an 18 month old GSD. She's due to be neutered at the end of this month, she's also a rescue dog, had her since she's 4 months old but she was a street dog. I use a slip lead for street walking (where we're likely to see dogs). She is slightly lead reactive, I say slightly as...

Please help. Educated or experienced dog and cat owners - need some interpretation. My brother brought his unicorn cat to visit with our other brother and sister n law who have a dog. Dog unknowingly stepped over cat, startling the cat. Cat swiped dog’s nose in response/defense. No one...

Last week my dog had a few fainting episodes, which prompted our vet visit. Background : Vet: I don’t have much experience with this vet, we moved and admittedly haven’t kept up with all routine visits due to funds. Dog: My dog Munchie, she is a rescue, she was an adult at the time of rescue...

Does anyone know how I can travel with my dog? She is an American Bully and most airlines won’t accept her as cargo because she is part of the “brachycephalic” breeds. But, I also can’t put her in the cabin with me as she weighs over 20lbs. The trip is domestic, what can I do?

Hi all, we’re getting our guy neutered this coming Thursday (he’s 2.5 years old) and while I’m not super nervous about the actual surgery part, I am more nervous about the after care. I realize my vet will give me general details like no physical activity for 10-14 days, take him out on a...

Hi 👋🏻 I heard that GSDs stop growing at around 12 months but still filling out until 2.5-3 years old. Curious to see the change, so please share your before after photos. Thanks!

Hi, this is my first reddit post and I wanted to ask why my 1 Year Old Golden Retriever female dog is not only less active and not engaging with us like she used to but also Peeing and Pooping inside home (she is potty trained and never pooped or peed inside the house) after I Got a 2 Month Old...

My dog (7months f) won’t stop pissing in my and my roommate’s bedrooms, whenever we left the door open she’ll come inside and piss on the bed or on the floor. When she’s outside of our room she never piss and wait do do it outside, I don’t understand.

I am working on getting my girl's weight down before an operation. I have noticed in the last couple weeks she has seemed more restless, and less likely to settle down and nap. Is this likely to be associated with hunger? It seems likely, but I wondered if anyone had experience with this...

Our 7 year old lab was diagnosed with pneumonia about 4 weeks ago (thru x ray) after she had been having some coughing fits. She got so bad we had her go to the emergency vet overnight, but she improved with antibiotics (we think) and was discharged the next day. Back at our usual vet, they gave...

This happened yesterday evening and it’s been playing on my mind all night. I have a 3.5 year old rescue GSD called Loki. She’s very anxious, reactive, and startles easily. To deal with this I’ve been walking her at 4am to avoid most people and dogs. I’m spending a lot of money and time on...

Has anyone had a vet suspicious for bone cancer, but the diagnosis ended up being something less sinister? Took my 6 y.o. intact male working-line GSD to the vet today and was NOT expecting her to immediately say she was suspicious of bone cancer. Took him because he has had recurrent but...

We adopted a 7y/o coonhound mix back in may and we already had a 1y/o cat. The shelter told us he has lived with cats before and did fine. Sometimes he completely ignores her but others he’s completely obsessed with watching her and he will snap at her. It used to only be at meal times, so we...

Resource guarding food but not eating it? Our dog, a small 7.5 lbs havanese, stopped eating her food around 4 days ago. She still happily eats the turkey we give her with her medicine (she takes Prozac). A few months ago, to try and combat some ear irritation she’d been having, we tried...

Hi, one week ago i got a new dalmatian puppy. She was the smallest of the litter (3.3 kg at 8 weeks) thats around half of the weight she should have had. That was mainly because she was the smallest and the biggest bullied her from 6 weeks to 8 weeks. This week at home I am trying to have...

Hi all, first post here. I have a reactive maltipoo who is a nightmare to walk. She pulls constantly and ends up choking herself frequently. I recently got the Ruffwear webmaster harness because she’s also an escape artist but was sad to discover she can still choke herself with it. Would it be...

I have 2 great Danes, one is 4 y/o the other 9 1/2 y/o. I've had both since they were puppies. Recently my younger dog started to become aggressive, and has bit my old one twice. First incident i wrote off as a one off, although i made sure to supervise them and take away potential triggers like...

I'm currently a college student who owns an Australian Shepherd + unknown mix (potentially some type of terrier and/or pitbull) 7 year old female, 40lbs. I take her on 2-3 10 minute walks a day because of time constraints, so she's minimally active. I switched her to Pedigree canned dog food for...

UPDATE 8/18/23: Took Gunner to the vet today, vet caught a heart murmur, did a scan (2 views) and has enlarged heart. I didn't get much info on a detailed diagnosis but I think it's a B2 MMVD. He's on 2.5mg BID Vetmedin (pimobendan) and 1 tablet of antibiotic doxycycline for the likely/suspected...
