  • doormat for muddy paws – muddy mat vs ikea Toftbo mat

    Hi everyone, I have been searching for a door mat solution for my 4-month-old puppy's muddy paws. I saw the Mudbuster container, but I really don't think it is worth it in my case, as it seems you need to change the water every time you clean a paw… so either I buy four containers or my pup is not going to sit quietly at the entrance while I go to the kitchen and change the water.
    I started looking into mats, and I saw the muddy mat on Amazon. Does anyone have experience with it? Does it really work? What's the difference with the Ikea TOFTBO bath mat? The outside looks very similar, but the one from Ikea is obviously cheaper. Does anyone have a similar alternative or can share their experience with the muddy mat or any other mat? Thanks!

  • I need some help and advise to see our futur together

    Hi ! I adopted a Samoyede 3 months ago, she is almost 6 months.

    She is sweet, a little distant but sweet.

    She still have some potty accident (maybe 2 or 3 a week) but she had a lot of urinary infection when we got her (so i think she is a bit late, we go out 7times a day). She now start to know how to play alone. She doesn’t destroy that much. She is scared of nothing outside, inside almost nothing (vacume and hairdryer is scary even for me ahah).

    The thing is, we can’t do anything. She can’t stay alone cause she barks a lot. We tried some music, occupation, go for a short amount of time but she barks everytime.

    Everytime she have to calm down, she barks before. If she wants attention she barks. If we invite some people over she barks.

    During our walk she kinda attack us when she is frustrated (it’s better now but she still does it). We don’t have her attention so she never listen to us.

    I see a lot of improvment but I dont see my future like this. I cant do anything… I got a severe puppy blues when i got her. I am still in it.

    Do you have advise ? Can you share your experience ? Can you share whats your life looks like with your dog ?

    Please help me I am so sad and nervous all the time…

  • Is this lack of affection normal?

    My pup is almost 5 months old, he's been with us for 2 months and he hasn't shown any signs of affection towards us yet. When he's on the bed or couch he will always go as far away as possible – not even touching. He doesn't care about getting pets either and seems happier to play with his toys alone. He cries when I leave the room and follows me around the house but I think it's fomo.

    I'm really surprised because he's a companion breed that are known for being foot-warmers. My previous puppies have been so cuddly and always want to sit in my lap, snuggle and get pets. I do puppy training classes with him and was hoping to see more bonding with him but its not happening.

    Does anyone have experience with a dog like this? Do they ever end up loving you? I feel like I'm doing all the work of raising a puppy without the moments that make it feel worth it.

  • Dog Toys recommendation

    I have a 2 yr old pomeranian who loves to chew anything but aren't actually toys, like sofa, pillow, clothes and other stuff that aren't toys, I have tried to buy her chew toys but she seems to not like it, or she likes it but for few hours only then gets back on chewing other stuff, is there any toy you have tried for those who have the same situation as mine, or is this a behavior issue already?

  • Should I reconsider buying a bottle fed puppy?

    My partner and I have put our name down for a puppy from a litter that was born around 11 days ago. Their mum ended up having a c section after one of the pups got stuck, and unfortunately died a few days later. So now there is a litter of 7 that are being bottle fed.

    Now I'm not too worried because I know that there are sooo many puppies that get bottle fed for a whole variety of reasons and grow up absolutely fine, but everyone I speak to seems to have something negative to say about it and it's unfortunately getting to me and making me wonder whether we should reconsider as we'd be paying a bit more than average for this puppy.

    Am I over thinking things or do I need to be worried that we're going to set ourselves up to be dealing with a lot of problems in the future? Please be kind about this because I really want to do right by these puppies but also want to gain as much information as possible so we can make the best decision.

  • Molim za odgovore…

    „Pozdrav svima. Imam psa za kog sam mnogo vezan, i skoro dve godine smo provodili svaki dan zajedno. Sada moram da idem da radim u drugi grad, pa ću ga viđati možda dva puta nedeljno, a možda i ređe. Da li postoji šansa da me zaboravi?“
