Earlier this month I noticed a flea on my dog. I did a flea combing and found a few more on him, so I reapplied his flea meds since he was due for it anyway. I’ve been vacuuming and washing our bedding too. A few days ago I was still finding the occasional fleas and eggs on him during the combings so I gave him a bath. Today I noticed he was scratching a lot so I went to comb him again and I found so many fleas, way more than the first time, probably over 20. It seems like it’s gotten worse. I’m going to call the vet to get a prescription flea med ASAP but I’m really worried about an infestation. My dog is supposed to go to the sitter in a few weeks while I travel abroad to visit family. From what I’ve been reading a few weeks doesn’t sound like nearly enough time to get rid of a flea infestation. I also have a physical disability that makes the constant vacuuming very difficult. I’ve heard of sprinkling borax or diatomaceous earth but I’m hesitant because my dog likes to lick his paws and I’m worried about him ingesting any residual powder after vacuuming. This is the one time of year I get to visit my family and I’m so worried I’ll have to cancel my trip because he won’t be able to go to the sitter. I’m panicking and I don’t know what to do, I’m at a total loss 🙁

My puppy used to eat like she was starving, but now that I’ve slowly switched her food (I think she might of been allergic to her first food – chicken) she won’t immediately start eating, and sometimes needs encouragement to start eating, and to finish. Can this be normal when switching foods, or is she just not a fan? She eats it just fine as treats, but is a little weird at meal times now.

Thanks!

Did you guys get it for your puppy? Was there any side effects? Thinking of getting it for my 8 months old puppy but not sure. Thanks!

My pup, Ollie, is a 90 pound rescue mix. He's 8 years old. He is absolutely spoiled! Lately, in the past month or so, he's managed to destroy almost all of his toys, some that he's had for years! The only things he doesn't destroy quickly are tennis balls.

He loves the extra long squeaky snakes and all of the Outward Hound toy line. Buying him toys is getting expensive when they last less than 5 minutes! I don't trust the toys that state they're for "super chewers" because I always find that one review of someone who said their dog destroyed it and would so be Ollie.

I'm hoping for any recommendations for toys that will last! I'd like them to be under $10 each, but I can go up to $20 for really good ones. He can't chew nylabones because a small piece got stuck once and almost killed him. I'm running out of options! Help!

Has anyone here ever used simple green outdoor odor eliminator out of a pump sprayer? For me it would be far more convenient but there isn't much information about using it from a pump sprayer.

It would be nice if there was a video demonstrating how much to apply to artificial turf.

My puppy is trained and ring the bell whenever they have to go. I am going to stay at friends for few days- how can my puppy indicate me there?

How do you guys put ur puppy to sleep at night ? Mine won’t stop barking and crying all night long it’s starting to drive me crazy haha

Hi all!

First winter with my first dog in a snowy area and my mesh divider plus a towel isn’t cutting it. I saw this car seat cover and liked it because it can fold up when needed which I frequently do have human passengers. I can’t find many reviews on it. Anyone have thoughts or similar suggestions? I like that it covers the gap and can still remain a divider when folded up!

My girl is like a 38lbs Australian cattle mutt so not the biggest but very very messy and fuzzy.

Thanks all!

Hi!! My family has a lab mix puppy (~10 months) and I want to introduce him to my kitten. The puppy absolutely freaks out any time he sees a small animal and is very high energy. We have a senior kitty who is a very grouchy old lady and mostly keeps to herself, they have met but the puppy always scares her away. Any tips?
