  • Any recommendations for Car Seat Belt Harnesses?

    I found the OneTigris Car Harness and I have 3 harnesses that are very good, but I don't know if such a specialized harness from them is also good, I saw a lot of information there but it doesn't expressly say that it is certified or anything.

    So if I can get any advise, I would really appreciate it!

    Thanks!

  • Dog constantly scratching at trash can under sink – help!

    Our dog has recently started scratching at our under sink cabinet where we keep our kitchen trash can. This started within the past few months; our dog is 7 years old. She is trying to get in to the trash can for food / whatever else she can get. Any way to keep her from this frustrating and annoying behavior? Tips for how to help?

  • Newly adopted Bichon crying and "squeaking", please help!

    We adopted a 7 year old Bichon called Jack yesterday. His family are moving to a country where import of pets is restricted. They are so heartbroken. They dropped him off yesterday to us. As soon as they left, Jack started sniffing the floor quite furiously, hes been doing this for hours. He was also making squeaking sounds. And he scooted/dragged his butt on the floor a few times. He wanted to stay by the front door. So my kid and I sat with him until midnight, telling him hes ok every once in a while. Then we got super tired, so we took him to the bedroom along with his dog bed. Jack was squeaking all night, poor guy, and he didnt sleep all night, neither did I! What can I do to make the transition easier for all of us? This is our first time adopting a dog!

  • What can I get my dog?

    Hello!

    I have a German shepherd that's pretty big for his age (2) and I'd like to get him more toys and snacks that he can chew on! The only problem is all the stuff we get him doesn't even last for a week. Does anyone have any suggestions on what to get him that might last him a bit longer?

  • Humans have bred dogs for millennia based on specific traits. If dogs could do the same, what traits would they select for humans?

    Half sincere, half trick question: I suspect that they have been using their puppyhood evolution eyes to get what they want for just as long!

  • Getting a pup

    Im considering a pup from a breeder and not gonna lie i am pretty anxious. Ive only ever had adult dogs in my family, hounds and labs, everyone is telling me the great sides of getting a puppy to grow alongside me, but I honestly wanna hear what are the things that could stress me out the most, to be prepared. Im a big fan of borzois and thats the breed i wanted to get, already started talking to an ethical breeder about it. Also, is there anything bad i should expect from a borzoi? All i heard was that they can be pretty indipendent and have high prey drive (i hope I got that right, english isnt my first language 💔) Any advice welcomed!

  • Just got a new dog bed for my pup, not sure if they’ll like it – anyone tried something similar?

    Hey everyone, I just bought this dog bed for my little one. It looks super comfy, but my dog can be kind of picky 😅
    Has anyone used a bed like this? Do your dogs take to it right away, or do they need time?
    Thanks in advance for any advice!

  • Winter Dog Toys

    Hi, I have a service-dog and he has a very specific habit to turn off work mode to play/use the bathroom. To activate dog mode I have to throw his favourite toy then he chases it and breaks into full dog. If not none of the above happens.

    The toy I have is too heavy for the snow and we have already lost one. The trainers when I got him said NO balls, stuff animals or frisbees because they don’t want him to break training if say someone was playing in the park with those things.

    In the end I need a toy that:

    – doesn’t sink or is visible in snow

    – something that is unique (uncommon toys)

  • Recomendations on food

    I had been feeding Loki Farmer's dog but he appeared to have an allergic reaction to it. I changed his food which he ate for a while but wasn't really liking it. I switched back to Farmer's dog after giving him some chicken for a bland meal after he didn't eat for a day and his stomach was making noises. He didn't seem to have any reaction to it. Long story short he developed another reaction. I'm looking for a fresh meal service like the Farmer's dog but with salmon as the protein. Does anyone have any recommendations?

  • Why do dogs circle before lying down?

    I've read theories about flattening grass or checking for threats but my dog does it on smooth tile floors in a completely safe house. She'll spin around three times on the kitchen floor before settling down like she's preparing some invisible nest.

    Is this pure instinct that serves no function anymore or is there something I'm missing? Does the circling actually do something even on flat surfaces?
