  • How long should I wait to bathe my dog if I just took a bath with scented epsom salts?

    I just took a relaxing bath with eucalyptus epsom salts and I just realized I was supposed to give my dog a bath today. I’ve heard that epsom salts can be harmful to dogs and I worry that if I bathe him right now after there was Epsom salts in the tub, any residual chemicals or whatever from it my be in the bath water or get on his paws (he likes to lick his paws).

  • Boots help

    Hi! I’ve been wanting to get my dog boots for a while now as she comes with me a lot of places. I know there’s issues with overheating she will be watched like a hawk and not on all day.

    I’m struggling finding a pair that fit and I’m not sure why do before I try something else I wanted to try to ask here.

    I’ll provide a photo if I am able too that shows how they look on her. I got her a large fist and then bow a medium medium slips down over time seems like her paw just fits in it large was definitely too big I think. She is 50lbs and she is a mix of breeds.

    Here is the link to the photos https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1ozI4UxfEefNEOhLjHguZ00N7KvOB7UUC

  • Tips for dog who hates new people coming to the house

    I have a 3 year old Labrador x Border Collie cross who is wonderful with people outside the house and great when people she knows come to the house. But when new people come to the house, she barks, growls and eventually hides. Luckily, she has not lunged or bitten yet, but I do not want it to get to the stage. Does anyone have any tips or advice, please?

  • Dog Pooping in the house all the sudden

    Have a question about a recent development with my almost 12 year old chocolate lab. He recently started pooping in the house a few times a week. He goes out side, he pees and will walk around, but come inside and poop.

    Like tonight i put him out, he was out for about 10 minutes, he came to the back door and barked once to be let in. Not 5 seconds in he crapped on the living room floor.

    This is a super recent thing and I cant figure out what is going on. He sometimes acts scared to walk off the back deck but always goes out and pees no problem.

    Does anyone have any tips, suggestions, insights?

  • Can dogs understand three syllable words?

    Would a dog understand if I said a word that was three syllables long? Would they just tune out that last syllable? Or would they listen to the whole thing? I have a nam-e in mind for my next dog, and I want to be able to use it as like a come to me or refocus on me command, but it’s 3 syllables so I’m unsure if that would work?

  • Do dogs know when we’re sad?

    Not necessarily a problem, just something I’ve noticed.

    There have been times when I’m stressed or upset and my dog acts differently – stays closer, watches me more, or just seems more aware.

    I don’t know if I’m projecting, but it makes me wonder how much they actually understand about our emotions.
