Does your dog turn his head when he hears an odd noise? Does your dog bury their food with your pants? This is the thread to ask why.

Please keep this thread to non-medical issues only.

Which pet insurance is best for you? Are there any that may cover your dog's current treatment? Did your dog get injured during the waiting period and want to know if you're covered?

Here's the place to ask.

Do know we cannot help you here with medical concerns, and lying or not disclosing things to the insurance company is illegal so we don't allow that either.

Hello there, I have a Bernese mountain dog, female, about to be 3. We have had her since she was a pup. We originally had her at one house and then we have been in this current house for over a year. Have not had any issues and it’s been great.

Yesterday, I came home and noticed white flakes on the floor. After looking, I noticed she had scratched at the door and door frame and scratched it up bad. She’s never scratched at the doors like that, ever. We set up a camera yesterday down the hallway to monitor her and see if she does it again.

I checked the cameras today and she did it again! Like I said, we’ve been in the house for over a year, never had this issue. Nothing has changed in our schedule, in her sleep or food schedule, everything has been the same.

I am stumped on why she is all of the sudden, getting in her hind legs, and scratching to get into the bedroom. I have a feeling it’s cause she wants to lay on the bed but she has a couch upstairs and downstairs to lay on, and her dog cot, she has access to all of that and her toy, food and water bowl as well.

Anyone deal with this or might know why? I don’t know how to get her to stop damaging things and scratching. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance!

I'm looking for a new stroller for my baby puppy. I've been overwhelmed by the choices on various platforms and am having trouble making a decision. Does anyone have any good recommendations?

Hi!

I have a 7 year old corgi mix and an almost 7 month old corgi. The puppy is very energetic and loves other dogs. My older dog typically likes other dogs. He has been very on and off with the puppy from the start. He would “protect” the puppy from our oldest dog (who has since passed away as of last week). But then turns around and gets mad at the puppy a little later over seemingly nothing.

We just moved two weeks ago and lost our oldest dog. Our older dog is now getting aggressive towards the puppy. What are ways I can mitigate this? We remove food and treats so there is nothing to fight over, but the older dog still is (sometimes) very angry over the dog. I have been very loving on our older dog to help him deal with all the changes. Puppy also gets multiple naps a day so the other has breaks from him. He is not neutered yet.

Thank you for any advice!

Not sure if there is another place I should be posting this. My husband and I are getting a new puppy and we are torn between two names. Leonardo “Leo” or Cooper Could I get your thoughts and opinions? Thanks 🐶
