When my dog died recently I wanted to sell back the unused medication so the vet could sell it to other people – certainly I had no use for it. The boxes were sealed and there were months left until the due date. However my vet wouldn't buy any of it (though had no problem taking it as a donation). If you also had a dog who died after a chronic illness, has this also been your experience? These were pills so not even something that needs refrigeration. If he bought from his supplier it would have been identical.

Yesterday at 1:00 PM I picked up a 13-week-old female Shiba Inu puppy. She was very stressed by the journey, and after arriving home she didn’t want to leave the carrier, which I placed inside a designated pen (a section of the room set up with a bed).

For the night I poured some water, which she drank completely, and put out some food, which she only nibbled at, but she still doesn’t really want to come out of the carrier.

Today it’s clear that she did come out while I was away for about two hours, because she ate the treats I had placed a bit farther away. However, in my presence she still does not leave the carrier.

This would seem normal (high stress and, unfortunately, poor socialization), if not for the fact that the last time she urinated was yesterday at 1:00 PM at the breeder’s, and she defecated from stress in the carrier. Since then—nothing. Is there any reason to be concerned?

Which pet insurance is best for you? Are there any that may cover your dog's current treatment? Did your dog get injured during the waiting period and want to know if you're covered?

Here's the place to ask.

Do know we cannot help you here with medical concerns, and lying or not disclosing things to the insurance company is illegal so we don't allow that either.

Recently we moved from an apartment to a house with a backyard and it’s nice to see him finally be able to run around. However there is a shed in the backyard and squirrels were staying in there before we moved in, my dog noticed pretty quickly that there are squirrels in there. So now every time we are outside he runs straight to the shed, and sits until I open the door.

I wanted the squirrels out of there anyway and figured if I let him go in there they would vacate. Well I was right, the squirrels left but for some reason my dog still thinks they are in there. I have been letting him go in there a lot so he can realize nothing is in there, but when I do all he does is whine and jump on the walls like something is in there.

What on earth can I do to get him to realize nothing is in there? I really would like to play with him because whenever I am inside and he is outside, he’ll run around for a bit, and then lay down. I’ll then try to go outside and play with him, but every time he’ll run to the shed and just sit there. I tried running around to get him riled up and i’ll try to throw the ball, and he will completely ignore me.

TDLR; My 7 year old dog completely ignores me when i’m outside. He is a pointer/ beagle btw.

Which age range do you prefer when acquiring a new dog? Although I've raised three puppies, I've always preferred adult dogs despite the fact that nearly all of the adults I've had came to me with significant behavior problems that also required a lot of work initially. Puppies are cute but not really for me.

So i have two dogs, one who is a little angel and doesn't get into trouble while im at work and the other that all he does is get into trouble. We have crated him (he destroyed it), he's on trazodone when im gone now but he still does some stuff. I want the angel dog to still have free access in the house and out to the yard but the other one I would prefer to keep outside. Any ideas of what I could do, that hopefully aren't expensive. We have a backporch, I was thinking we could do like a gate or something? For context the trouble dog is 2yrs old and 90lbs, he also prefers outside

I’ve tried to post twice in here and don’t see my post?

Recently got a small bonus and threw away a table so I have a bit of extra funding and space and want to get something for my dog.

I live in a mid sized apartment in an eh area. It’s fine on one side but not the other so we do a lot of repetitive walks. I try and take him fun spots but can only really do that on weekend with work.

I want something to mentally stimulate him I can put in my apartment. I’ve done a lot of the puzzles and stuff and he likes those, but he is older and more stubborn now and not as good at learning new ones as he was as a puppy hahaha. I also have a lot of those

Curious what other people have that is cool and unique they like. Really open to anything you think he would like in any ways.

He’s a large mixed breed dog about 5 years old. Very active

anything helps I just need to get him the help he needs

Hello everyone, hope you and your pups are doing well.

So I am epileptic and had a grand mal. My husband came in to take care of me. He was doing the usual, put his hand under my head etc. Well our two dogs came running in from the sound and how my husband went power walking to me.

One of my dogs tried to smell me and the other dog lost it. Bit him and held down around his ear. Husband separated them. He said the one had a solid grip. No broken skin, still taking him to the vet.

These pups have lived together for 3 years with us in the same house. They share a bed, give each other baths, play with each other. No form of aggression ever. They never really see this happening to me though. Also I'm their primary caretaker.

My question is how seriously should I be taking the bite? We believe it was the stress of the situation. We have them separated ATM.
