  • Looking for suggestions for an easily collapsible puppy pen

    Hi Everyone!

    Is there such a thing as a puppy pen that is easy to collapse, yet sturdy enough to contain a Labrador Retriever puppy?

    For context, we have limited space for a pen and would therefore need to collapse the pen to tuck it out of the way a few times a day.

    Thanks for your input!

  • Advice on Surgery After-Care

    Hi, all! My boy (11M, small breed mutt) is scheduled to get two toes removed from his back leg on Thursday. He has a cancerous growth that, if removed, hasn’t spread and shouldn’t cause further issue (woo!).

    What advice do y’all have for the days and weeks following his surgery? The vet offered us a cone so he can get used to it before hand, but are there any other things I should have ready or can prepare ahead of time? How do we handle bathroom trips with his leg wrapped up and a cone? Should I bring him food?

    Also, when exactly does he wear the cone? All the time, or can I take it off him while supervised to make sure he doesn’t lick? Does he sleep in it?

    This is our first major medical procedure together, so anything and everything is welcome. I have a touch of the ‘tism, so I’d love clear numbers and/or timelines if that’s possible. I’m googling, but still nervous and looking for real world experience. Much love!

  • What toys can we get my get my grandma’s dog?

    My grandma got her coton de tulear in August. He turns 7 next month. But we have no idea what to get him. He's scared of squeaky toys, he doesn't care about balls, he barely cares about treats, and he can't chew all that well because he has a lot of teeth missing. My grandma can't always take him on walks and she doesn't have a yard for him to run around in. So are there any recommendations on how to entertain him? Cuz rn he lays in bed most of the day.

  • Aggressive Rescue

    I recently rescued this chiweenie from the shelter. He came from a hoarding situation where he lived with a colony of 30+ other dogs and has had little human socialization. I’ve just managed to be able to pet him after a month and a half. He’s come to trust me (slightly) but is still terrified of others. He used to just hide when people were around, but now he’s started barking loudly and getting aggressive (he hasn’t bit anyone yet). I’m trying my best to follow any advice I can find, but it seems like he’s just so riddled with anxiety that everything I try doesn’t work. I live with other people and if they decide I can’t have him because of his aggression, I have to surrender him to the shelter. I don’t want to give up on him yet. What can I do?

  • Older dog was neutered today. He is acting very confused. Where to put him to sleep?

    My 8 year old adopted cocker spaniel was neutered today. He's partially blind and he usually sleeps in his doggy bed at the foot of my bed. Usually, I leave a night light on for a bit while he gets settled in and then he sleeps until the morning. Since he has the cone on, is drugged up and is partially blind, I'm nervous of putting him in my room just because there's things he can walk into. He was sleeping for the first couple of hours, and he's still lethargic, but he'll get up and kind of gently walk into things or just stand up and not move. My roommate came home and he randomly got spooked and and anxious. So I'm getting nervous of what to do with him while I sleep. I'm thinking of leaving him in the bathroom because it's a small room and he can't wander around but is it bad to leave him alone like that?

  • Help with husky leash issue!

    Hi I was wondering if this has happend to anyone else. My husky pulls really hard so I decided to get him a no pull harness which has worked great. Recently though saw he has a black mark indented and I don’t think it’s painful cause he lets me touch it but is this a common issue? It like removed some hair and made it dark and the color won’t come off.

  • Set in dog urine smell

    I need help getting set in dog urine out of my carpet, I have cleaned my carpet multiple times w a carpet shampooer but the smell is still there. I have tried KOE kennel cleaner, the bissle pet carpet shampooer , Rocco & Roxie but nothing seems to be helping. I’m considering paying for a professional carpet cleaner, but before I dish out the money for that I would like some other tips and tricks.

  • My dog won’t stop using the bathroom in the house

    My dog Maverick is 11 months old and he’s been fully potty trained since August. In October I moved and now I have him and one other dog. Since the end of December he will not stop peeing in the house. He lifts his leg and pees on things, like the wall, my trashcan, and my couch. And it’s not because he has to use the bathroom because I will let him outside and as soon as he comes inside he pees. How do I stop him from doing this?
