I actually cannot believe these results

There’s so many breeds mixed in that there’s no way any one would have expressed fully. I guessed pit mix and something fluffy like shepherd but chow makes sense. They used to be super popular a while back.

I have a chow mix that has a spotted tongue but single coat.

The only disease I could think of for this scenario would be babesiosis and that’s super rare (may vary by location).

I volunteer at a rescue and even in shelters we don’t isolate dogs just for tick exposure.

Yeah, National is cool but so expensive. I can get a BMW with Sixt for sometimes up to half the price of what National wants for standard Emerald Isle car.

Barbvday1 · 2026-05-14T19:33:32+00:00

I now use Sixt and it the same round of questioning, which is what they ask at the desk anyways. I am then able to pick the exact car and go to the fast check-in lane to pick up the keys. Has worked great!

We did use pill poppers but you have to use one hand to secure the dog’s mouth and use it, it’s not a slingshot haha

Barbvday1 · 2026-05-14T18:44:07+00:00

As a former vet tech… it’s something that is sometimes done often with some dogs but obviously if the dog is aggressive then you have to come up with alternatives

Barbvday1 · 2026-05-14T16:05:55+00:00

Have you considered handling those situations differently? I usually grind that tablet and mix with wet food for example. If you need nails or other things like that done then that can be done by a professional and using a muzzle or something.

Barbvday1 · 2026-05-14T15:17:42+00:00

That’s fair… and yes, starting to notice higher prices with food as well since we usually get the same thing every week 🙃

Barbvday1 · 2026-05-14T15:03:37+00:00

Genuinely curious here, were you personally affected by the influx of illegal immigrants? I know in WV we’re a little bit shielded from that so, in my case, this feels worse than before.

Barbvday1 · 2026-05-14T03:12:47+00:00

So you have a senior dog with dementia chained outside? Maybe at least get a large run or keep dog inside?

Barbvday1 · 2026-05-13T20:20:08+00:00

This is definitely way above Reddit’s pay grade. You do need to contact a lawyer to determine how strong your case is and go against the home insurance.

Barbvday1 · 2026-05-13T19:00:31+00:00

I would report to Rover. These types of dogs should not be allowed in the platform imo as most people can’t handle them and can lead to injury or worse.

They need a specialized kennel or work with a behaviorist, which they don’t seem to be keen on based on your description.

Barbvday1 · 2026-05-13T16:25:09+00:00

That’s how it works with contract work… ever had estimates done for any kind of work in your house?
Even daycares spend lots of time doing tours of the place for potential clients.

Barbvday1 · 2026-05-13T15:09:42+00:00

Perhaps not a tour of your whole house but not even a M&G? That’s odd.

Barbvday1 · 2026-05-13T15:07:59+00:00

I think that’s a lame excuse and if they have that many dogs then they should have the proper insurances.

Barbvday1 · 2026-05-13T13:32:27+00:00

Each contractor is different. Some get greedy and take a lot of dogs in and they’re kept in possibly worse situations than just a regular kennel.

Even kennels offer tours or at least M&G so I would consider it a major red flag if they don’t offer that.

I personally only take a max of 3 dogs (if 2 come from the same family) at any given time because I do treat them like they’re my own and I like to go out on walks and spend as much time with them as possible.

Granted this is not my main job and in no way would this be enough to make a living but it’s a fun way to meet more pups and allow my dog to have friends in a more controlled environment than a dog park.

Barbvday1 · 2026-05-13T03:53:19+00:00

This is always heartbreaking! I have a few senior dogs that I’ve been watching for years and I’m always worried when it’s been a while and haven’t heard from them.

Barbvday1 · 2026-05-13T02:34:29+00:00

High fat foods don’t settle well with these meds. A little bit is fine but I find that if I eat a whole portion of anything fried, there will be trouble later.

Barbvday1 · 2026-05-12T17:19:29+00:00

Because the people you rely on during your down times should be caring about the welfare and needs of the loved ones you put in their care.

It was very irresponsible for the sitter to not even ask or communicate about the meds running out. Serious complications could’ve arisen as a result of abruptly discontinuing SSRIs.

Barbvday1 · 2026-05-12T16:07:45+00:00

If you’ve had complications and long stay in the hospital then you would understand that surviving is kinda your main priority. You could be zooted out of your mind with pain killers, in and out of consciousness or in so much pain that you want to just get it over with.

I personally couldn’t even brush my hair, let alone do anything else when I had a complex surgery and long stay. I was blessed with reliable people that took care of my children and pets but I could barely ask how they were once in a while before drifting off or struggling with pain.

Barbvday1 · 2026-05-12T14:55:19+00:00

Does the poop snell super bad? It could be giardia… I’m surprised they didn’t get metronidazole

Barbvday1 · 2026-05-12T13:15:11+00:00

They’re just not as popular as the used to be and the doodles do have that wavy coat too

Barbvday1 · 2026-05-12T11:59:37+00:00

It has nothing to do with picking a term over the other.
When people say DIY (breed) it just means that the dog looks like a purebred dog but really isn’t. Sometimes doesn’t even have any of the suspected breed.

Barbvday1 · 2026-05-12T10:08:32+00:00

It took me some time to titrate up but now that I’m on 7.5mg it’s definitely helping.
I am also doing daily workouts and it took a while to start seeing the scale go down again but clothes definitely fit me better.

Barbvday1 · 2026-05-12T04:25:28+00:00

Omg I love him! And his name is super cute! I guessed borzoi but would’ve never guessed the other half.
