My large dog is having major trouble with the stairs to get downstairs to potty.

I am hopeful that things will improve after the second librella shot, but we need some help in the meantime

I need help finding durable dog toys for an aggressive chewer. My pup loves to chew, but he destroys pretty much everything we give him. We’ve tried the plastic Nylabones, but he chews off chunks of plastic, so that’s not working. He also can’t have any stuffing or fluff in his toys.

Looking for recommendations that can actually stand up to a chewer. brands, toy types, whatever y’all swear by!

My dog disappeared days before a snow storm and I don’t know how to cope. He is bad about wanting to escape and we’ve reinforced the spots he’s used to slip out of, but I guess he was able to get through it, about a week ago now. As soon as we noticed he didn’t come right back (which is what he usually does) we started searching everywhere. We live more in a rural area so a number of things could have happened. We have looked everywhere, posted everywhere, posted flyers and still no sign at all. Now we have several inches of snow and expecting more tonight.

I’m just at such a lost. I don’t know what happened and it’s eating me alive. I’m hoping he found some barn to hangout in and someone is keeping him warm, but I know that reality is slim. This is just the worst feeling ever. I just lost my soul cat a couple months ago and the thought of never seeing my dog again is killing me.

My 7 month old Aussie-mix is close to the end of her heat and, since she's needed to be cooped up inside our townhome during this, I'm wanting to make it up to her by going on trail walks once it's safe to do so. Especially since the weather in Southern California isn't so hot anymore.

I plan on using the All Trails app and starting with easier, 2-3 miles, and low-traffic trails to start out. Do you guys have any tips or recommendations for beginner trail-walkers? Tips like time of day, recommended leashes or backpacks. Literally anything at all would be so helpful.

Thank you!

We adopted our dog 5 months ago. He just turned a year old. We think he came from a puppy mill, but honestly he has been a great and sweet dog. we did a 6 week training class, he’s gone on a plane, is fully potty trained, and has a sweet demeanor. Two days ago, he has suddenly begun trembling and panting intermittently. We took him to the emergency vet, and he had a small fever but his bloodwork was totally normal (he also has been eating / going to the bathroom totally normal). They gave him a Tylenol injection and fluids. The next day, it continued in the morning after he ate breakfast. We took him to his normal vet and they said it could just be anxiety & that it begins around this age (if they have it). Today, we noticed that this behavior begins every time the washer, dryer, or dishwasher are going. The thing is, he has heard these sounds 100000 times! We are not a quiet house. What could have made this start? How can we end this? I am worried for his heart health at this rate! It goes on for a long time.

I took in a 9 year old lab mix from our local animal shelter to make sure he’d be warm in the storm we’re getting. I’ve had plenty of dogs but never one I didn’t start as a puppy so I feel a little more paranoid about his behaviors! I know the 3, 3, 3 rule—would whining be considered part of the first 3? He settles in his crate fine and doesn’t whine outside, but he whines constantly when in the house.

What dog seats are you using for you dog?

I am looking into the Jacko & Co V2 one for my 10lbs morkie and wondering if anyone has this one. Looks like they have decent reviews online and i like the look of it.

Does anyone have this one or have heard of anything about this?
