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.

Literally every website said it would start at 12 but it started at 10 what the heck????

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, we adopted a puppy a couple months ago and had been free feeding her for a bit while she got used to my family and our house. Now i don’t know how to switch her onto a schedule.

She definitely does not overeat, i think she eats less than she is supposed to most days. She does not finish her food most of the time and stops eating when she is full. She eats a meals worth at once too- shes not the kind of dog that eats a little bit throughout the whole day.

The issue is that she eats at a different time every day. Sometimes i will put out food and she will show no interest in it when she has eaten the same time of day the past 2 days. Right now i end up leaving her food out until she eats her first meal, and then i put it away and offer her next one around 4 hours later. Sometimes she eats it and sometimes it takes another 2 hours. Should i be taking her food away if she doesn’t eat it right away? I just don’t know what to do since she doesn’t overeat and i don’t want to deny her a meal and make her wait till her next one. Ive heard of putting down food, waiting 5-30 minutes and trying again the next hour if they don’t eat anything. I would appreciate any help.

Hi, I have a puppy that's 31 x 24" (LxH) and a crate that's 36 x 25". So the length is more than enough, but the height is only 1" taller. Should I get the next size up crate 42 x 30" so that he has 6" of spare height, but then 11" of spare length? Puppy is 6 month old so hopefully he doesn't use that spare room to make a new toilet, but I'm also not sure about getting such a large crate yet. Thoughts?

I have a wee 7month cavapoo and hes quite crate trained, the only problem is he gets quite warm at night in his crate and requires the fan.

As the fan eats up quite alot of electric, i thought it would be a good idea to try him outside thr crate at night, with the crate door open, and other bed that he likes to lie on. However, when night rolls around and its time to sleep, he judt cant reqlly settle outside of the crate. I think hes just too curious to sleep and just walks about the bedroom and tries to get up into our bed.

Anyone have any advice? Hes good at settling outside of the crate in the living room, but he loves to walk about at night in the bedroom. Maybe because its new hes just not used to it?

I took my golden retriever (who's a little over 3 months) to the vet today and came across another golden puppy there (who mustve been not more than 2 months). He/she was in their owner's arms ( a somewhat elderly couple, not too old tho) and wagging its tail when it saw me w my puppy.

Meanwhile my puppy had been struggling during the whole drive to the hospital, back home, and even when I had him in my arms at the hospital. He absolutely hates being touched/carried even though I've tried to get him used to it by rewarding everytime I touch him/carry him.

He's just constantly trying to bite me, or get away from me. It's been easy teaching him commands and he's learnt really quickly as well, so I know he's incredibly smart. I feel like I've failed him somehow because I can't seem to get him to listen to me. I feel like he sees me as his sibling lol :')

I wanna send him for formal training but that would mean losing out on crucial puppy years and bonding with him. Seeing that puppy really brought back my puppy blues because I know my puppy's smart, but for some reason we don't seem to be getting along very well :')
