My dog seems to have an eating disorder or I honestly don’t know. We started with kibble when she was still a puppy and now that she’s months older, she started to not eat it, so then we switched to something like a branded wet-food for dogs. She also used to love it and actually go crazy about it, but then a month after, she doesn’t like it anymore. Then we switched to human food, typically rice and meat (I always search if the ingredients are safe for her). It’s all the same, first she’s enthusiastic about the food then when she receives it, she usually tries to push, shove, or try to bury her food using her mouth. What is this?

Why when I pet two of my dogs on their tummies do they start moving their paw very quickly? They look happy, but Google tells me otherwise

I'm curious

Out of nowhere he starts licking and biting at the carpet and just about anything he can except his toys. Weird behavior he hasn’t displayed before. He tore my bedsheet and pulled the carpet up.

I'm kinda weirded out. I got a puppy for the first time. It's an aussie/heeler mix and he's 3 months.. I've had him for a week now and he already knows 6 tricks including play dead and is potty trained. This really surprised me, how quick he learns…

But what's really surprising is that I feel he's kinda like a human. The way he stares at you, like he knows something. How fast he learns and gets things. Sometimes I feel he judges me.

At the beginning he seemed like a little rascal puppy that would get the zoomies. But one week in, and he is already independent and wants his space. He even gives me the side eye and groans when I call him and he doesn't feel like it. I almost feel like apologizing lol.

I don't know if this is normal behavior. I love my puppy but sometimes he creeps me out (in a nice way hehe)

Hey all,

My almost 11 months old eurasier is small, really really small, we're talking 15 pounds less than his brothers and sisters. He also didn't gain a pound in the last 4 months, isn't eating much despite us trying a lot of different things and his poops are horrendous despite probiotics.

On the other hand, ALL he wants to do is go outside, all the time, always. When he's outside, he turns crazy, runs and pisses everywhere and is acting cazy hours later, can't settle down or sleep. Even when he sleeps, if we move in the house he'll get up and be ready for action.

So we really don't know… does he not eat because he's just not hungry? He barely gets in half of his daily calorie needs per day, as calculated by the vet. Does he not eat because he's overstimulated for no reason? Does he just hate his food?

We're having a lot of doubts, oscillating between going back to the vet for a more comprehensive testing or talking to a dog behaviorist =/

Does anyone here have a similar experience? If so, I'd love to hear about it!

Thank you all and have a good day!

Great dogs at Fort Worth shelter, some since June & July.

I’m trying to network them, and for anyone interested in taking any that’s out of state, a rescue group I work with, HappyFurever.org, may be able to hold them ahead of transport. Cost to transport dog from Texas to northeast is only $250.
