Looking for advice from anyone who has been through a sudden crate regression. Our lab mix Otis was crate trained from 9 weeks old. He has slept in his crate every single night for 6 months without a...
Posting from my phone on a bench because i just had to sit down halfway through a walk. My vizsla is 14 months old, 52 lbs, and walking him has become the worst part of my day. He pulls so hard the...
Sharing this because we couldnt find much real information when we googled. Daisy is a 10 year old toy poodle mix, 9 lbs when we got her. She came out of a hoarding case where 47 dogs were pulled from...
His name is Walter. He was at the shelter for 8 months because he is 11, has heartworm history, and a benign tumor on his shoulder that looks scarier than it is. They told us he had been at three...
So i went back to the office for the first time in like 14 months yesterday. We got Banjo as a covid puppy and ive been wfh basically the whole time hes been alive. He does fine when i run errands for...
Bear is 13 and a half. About 18 months ago his arthritis got bad enough that walks became 5-10 minutes max, and even then he would limp by the end and need to lay on the cool tile for an hour after....
Our yorkie Olive is 4 and shes been miserable since around September. Started as just licking her paws raw, now its full body itching, ear infections every 6-8 weeks, and these little bumps that come...
Six months ago today we brought home Pepper, a 3yo lab mix from a local rescue. We already had Ranger, our 5yo shepherd mix who is the most chill dog on the planet but also has zero history with other...
Took my 5 year old lab Bailey for her annual yesterday and walked out of there with a $640 bill and a recommendation list i didnt ask for. Dental scaling under anesthesia ($800), prescription joint...
Did my first proper overnight with our 4yo aussie mix Soren up in the Cascades. We've done plenty of long day hikes but never camped together and i wanted to share what worked and what didnt because i...
Genuine question from a slightly defeated husky owner. Koda is 18 months old and we do an hour of off-leash time at a fenced field every morning, plus a 45 minute walk in the evening. He still loses...
Bit of a happy post today. We adopted Juniper (3yo cattle dog mix) last September and she came to us with zero recall and a strong prey drive. First few months in the backyard she would just stare...
Okay so our 2-year-old golden Biscuit has been pulling socks out of the laundry basket for about a year now. He doesn't chew them or destroy them - just carries one around the house like a little...
So we just brought home our 8 week old black lab puppy Biscuit on Saturday and oh my god, he bites EVERYTHING. My hands, my ankles, the couch, the rug... everything is fair game apparently. I know...
We brought home Moose (8 week old black lab) 12 days ago and wow. Just wow. I read so many "puppy prep" articles and still was not prepared for this creature. Love him to pieces but I need to vent a...
We brought home our 9-week-old lab mix Rutherford three weeks ago and I wanted to share an honest update because honestly, the first week was way harder than I expected. everyone said "enjoy every...
Yesterday afternoon my 4 year old beagle mix Pretzel got into my bag while i was working and i came back to find the zipper open and a half-eaten pack of sugar-free gum on the floor. Xylitol gum. For...
Okay so my golden Biscuit turned 2 last month and he has become the most determined counter surfer i have ever seen. i thought he'd grow out of it but nope, somehow he's gotten WORSE. last week he got...
Okay so i'm genuinely confused and kind of stressed about this. My pit bull mix Hector has been pretty social his whole life. He grew up going to the dog park, he's had dog friends, he's always been...
So my golden Biscuit turned 7 months last week and he has developed this obsessive sock-stealing habit. Like not just picking one up occasionally, i'm talking he will literally follow me to the...
