I don't know if this fits in the tag I chose but I don't know where more it could fit, so the other day I was cleaning a closet in my house and I found a stuffed animal that I used to sleep with when I was little, and as soon as my dog(poodle toy) saw it, he started jumping and barking at me, so I gave it to him, I was waiting for him to start playing with it like he usually does but instead he grabbed it, took it to its bed and started licking it, I don't think he has ever seen it so he can't remember it, anyone knows why this happens?

So my dogs been going blind due to some eye problems and I see him hesitate to go through doors or jump up onto the couch or my bed. Occasionally he’ll bump into things as well, luckily I don’t have any stairs so I don’t have to worry about that but I am wondering if there’s something I can do to help him get used to being blind I guess? It just makes me feel bad seeing him bump into things. I do have pet stairs to help him get on the bed but as for navigating my house I don’t know what to do.

I bought an at-home grooming dryer for my dog and we used it for the first time today and it’s great. He is a Wheaten Terrier that mats really easily and hates being brushed (i have to wait until he falls asleep to brush him) so this is really helpful for preventing that. Only problem is he hates it. We just used it once today and he started out fine, just a little cautious, but the he started biting at the dryer. I was able to redirect him with some high value treats, but with how long it takes him to dry, he ended up eating quite a lot of them which isn’t great, especially since he has a sensitive stomach.

Does anyone have any tips for getting him to actually be comfortable with the dryer and not need to take as many treats during the process?

Hello I just got a new dog (2 year old golden retriever/ husky mix) and the previous owner did not socialize her at all so she is extremely scared with me since I am a new person and all she want to do is hide the problem is she won't even come out to use the bathroom and I understand I need to give her space but she also needs to use the bathroom do any of you have any tips on how to get her used coming out and going potty?

We’ve found a dog we’re interested in adopting. This will be our first time. I didn’t get to ask the lady about the application process before we got off the phone. Their offices are closed until Wednesday. Can anyone here tell me if the process is same day or after multiple visitations with the dog?

Hoping to get some ideas and opinions because I can’t seem to decide what will be best for my dog. I’ve had my dog for 3 years now and plan to go to university next year, which is around an hour and a half away so I would need to stay up there minimum 4 nights. I still live with my family on a farm and he absolutely loves it being a rabbit obsessed terrier mix. Though my family are not careful with him and I do not trust leaving him with them for more than 2 nights. He is heartbroken when I only leave for one night, as am I! If I was to rent in the city he would be bored to death even with me walking him morning and night.

I never took university into consideration as I got him as an emotional support animal and at the time I didn’t think I would ever go. While I have a year to decide what to do it is troubling me, I only want the best for him but neither seems a better choice.

Older dog passed away this week 🙁 . Younger dog has been with him since he was born. So now, he’s 5 years old, and doesn’t know what to do with himself since he followed our other dog everywhere and took it upon himself to make sure that our older dog was loved on/protected when they were alone. Now he kinda just lays around and if we leave him home alone (only once so far for an hour or so), he paces back and forth and cries and tries to get out. Any advice?

Hello everyone, I’m looking for some good shampoo and conditioner recommendations for my 8yo golden retriever with dry skin and dandruff that appears between baths. She’s already on a special kin/GI kibble and monthly Cytopoint. Any good fragrance-free shampoos/conditioners you all use and like? Thank you in advance🙏

So me and my wife are dealing with the neverending hairs and I was wondering if those little vacuum robots can handle doghairs or if they are always constantly clogged.

All info welcome.

Title says it all. He’s never done it before but recently while playing or just resting he’ll walk up and put the full weight of his head on top on my head. And just leave it there. Standing, sitting, playing, relaxing, it doesn’t matter just a big old dog head plopped right on mine. Why does he do that?
