I’m not sure if this has been asked before but I have one of those WiFi color changing lightbulbs in my bedroom and I like to set it to red when I’m relaxing or sleeping. I was just wondering if it affects or harms my dogs eyes. It’s not too bright and kinda dim but I don’t want to have it set to anything that’ll make him uncomfortable. Also are there any colors to avoid changing it to? Specific colors that could cause harm or make him uncomfortable?

I have a wheaten terrier and a wheaten poodle mix. They are notoriously hyper dogs. Once I put a sweater on them they chill out. No fetch, no zoomies, just straight chillin on the couch.

They're not weighted or anything crazy just regular sweaters from petco. They get excited when I pull them out of the drawer.

Not sure if this is right place to put this but my dog recently was hospitalized for heart failure. He responded well at first to treatment but last night he just stared at me. Tonight hes barking at nothing and jumping on and off couch. It's like he wants something but he doesnt know what

Hello! The title is pretty self explanatory. But in short, my dog’s collar (Black) keeps bleeding onto her fur (White) making it a grayish/blackish color. I have tried vinegar and salt to set the dye, I’ve also tried a warm water soak to try and remove excess dye. Yet nothing seems to make the problem any better, does anyone know how I could solve this? Or do I just bite the bullet and find a different color collar?

Hi all! My dog that I rescued 13 years ago has recently started acting like a puppy – getting the zoomies, eating paper/tissues, trying to get our food which she’s been trained out of for a decade, chewing sticks again, following me around a lot more than normal. I tried to look it up online and a lot of what i read was “not following commands” but she’s been totally deaf for around a year. If it is dementia, what should i do about it? Is there any help in going to the vet or is it just a spend time together while we can sort of thing?

Earlier today while I was sitting at my desk I saw a mouse come out and start messing around near the small trash can I have in my room. We have a few traps set up around the house (none are poison bait) but none in my room. The mouse was also no near a vent so I knew it was still behind my trash can and the bins next to it. So I went to find my dachshund and let him into my room cause the past few days he's been sniffing around, looking for the mouse. He found the scent and was going around the trash can and after a few minutes he managed to get behind it and when I called his name, he stuck his head up and had the mouse in his mouth. He didn't eat it, just killed it and dropped it. I grabbed it with a paper towel and threw it outside. I gave him a treat after as a reward for getting it. Just thought it was fun that he actually got to kind of hunt something since he doesn't usually get to do a lot of enrichment type stuff.

In case anyone is worried, he is up to date on all his shots and I will make sure to keep an eye on him just in case. He's currently tracking down a second mouse.

I need to know if this is normal. I’ve owned dogs my whole life (including male dogs) and this has never been an issue before. I just got a dog, he’s an adult rescue about 13 lbs. His erection comes out quite often, which I know is normal, the problem is that it does not always go back inside. A few times now I’ve had to manually put him back in because it’s been out for hours. Is this normal? Is there anything we can do to prevent this? It’s not usually fully out, but poking out, should I just leave it or is that not good for him?

My dog is 6-7 miniature schnauzer/chihuahua. I rescued her so I am unsure of her age. I suffer from depression, I am not sure if that plays a factor. I recently took her to the vet and he said she needs to lose weight, but I told him she won’t walk or play anymore. His response was well you get overweight and you don’t want to do anything. She used to love to play fetch, and take long walks. Now she is always around me whining when I am cleaning. I try and show her a toy and she gets scared and starts whining. She is scheduled to get spayed in January, but I was having doubts because of her age. Now I don’t know what to do. Even though I suffer from depression, I still try and play with her and take her on long walks. Advice please

We have indoor toys. I try to keep the indoor toys indoors to keep them nice. We have outdoor toys.I try to keep those toys outside for our outdoor toys. They always bring the outdoor toys in and the indoor toys out.They never seem too grasp the difference between "INDOOR" and "OUTDOOR" TOYS..Will they ever?
