So I adopted Biscuit 3 weeks ago from a local shelter. He's a 4 year old sheltie mix and honestly the sweetest dog I've ever met when I'm home. The second I leave though, my neighbor texted me...
We brought home Luna (golden retriever, 11 weeks when we got her) 8 weeks ago and leash walking was a complete disaster for the first 6 weeks. She'd either bite the leash, just lay down and refuse to...
We adopted Ruger, a 3 year old hound mix, two weeks ago. Week one was honestly amazing - he was calm, curious, followed me around the house, slept through the night. I thought we got a unicorn rescue...
So my 4 year old aussie mix has been on a grain-free food since we adopted her two years ago because the previous owner was feeding it and we just... kept it going. Last week at her annual checkup i...
We just brought home our golden retriever puppy Maple three days ago and she is SO bitey. Like constantly. My hands are covered in little scratches and she especially goes for my ankles when i'm...
I have been fighting this battle since last summer. My golden Waffles started getting these red patches on his paws and belly, was chewing himself constantly, had recurring ear infections like every...
I got Biscuit when he was 8 weeks old and hes been amazing except for one thing - the second i walk out the door he absolutely loses it. Like full panic mode crying, scratching the door, the works. My...
I adopted Luna from our county shelter last October when she was about 2 years old. The shelter didn't know much about her history - she was picked up as a stray. She was sweet but really shut down in...
I picked up my 10-week-old corgi mix Biscuit four days ago and i genuinely had no idea what i was walking into. The daytime is manageable - he plays, he eats, he crashes. The nights are another...
My 2-year-old shepherd mix Rosie is great at home and at the dog park, but the second she sees another dog while she's on leash she goes completely ballistic. Barking, lunging, straining at the end of...
My yellow lab Cooper has been scratching, licking his paws, and rubbing his face since he was about 18 months old. We spent probably $3,000+ over two years - vet visits, allergy panels, medicated...
So Biscuit (3-year-old golden) has this thing where he steals exactly one sock from the laundry basket and carries it around the house for like 20 minutes before dropping it. He doesn't chew it,...
I want to share this in case anyone else is going through it with an older dog. My lab Buster turned 11 in February and earlier this year he started really struggling on walks. Getting up from his bed...
My 3-year-old yellow lab Tucker has been scratching at his ears nonstop for the past two weeks. Like constantly shaking his head and digging at both ears with his back paws. i checked and there's no...
I got my 10-week-old lab mix Pepper three weeks ago and i love her but the ankle biting when i walk is honestly making me dread moving around my own house. She latches on and i yelp, say no, redirect...
I have to share this because the first two weeks with Biscuit were honestly rough. She's 9 weeks old and weeks one and two felt like i was running on empty. She was up at 2am, 4am, sometimes both -...
My 3 year old border collie Flynn has always been a little excited by bikes but for the last few months it's escalated to something i'd genuinely describe as unmanageable. He lunges hard, screams...
My 3-year-old golden Biscuit has been leaving fur EVERYWHERE this past month. I vacuum literally every day and the couch still looks like it has a fur lining. This morning i found a tumbleweed under...
Six months ago I posted here absolutely terrified when we first brought Pepper home. Shelter said she had "unknown history" and was dog-reactive. The first week she hid under the bed for three solid...
Greta is 11, a yellow lab, and has had hip arthritis diagnosed since she was about 8. For the last year she was really struggling in the mornings - stiff getting up, not wanting to go on walks,...
