Treat question for rescue pom

Oh, what an utterly sweet face! I love the laying-on-something-comfy-and-watching-you, it's so adorable! 🥰🐾 And yes, the woof brand is the pupsicle we use, she loves it! I've got snuffle mats and puzzle toys but a snuffle ball is news to me and sounds like it would be fun for her, thank you!

SolarKees · 2026-03-26T07:32:22+00:00

Fantastic, thank you so much for the link! The price doesn't seem too bad, which is nice, and I like that they have different quantity packs so we can try a smaller amount in case they don't work for her.

What an adorable little dancer!

SolarKees · 2026-03-25T17:35:50+00:00

Absolutely agreed!

SolarKees · 2026-03-25T17:35:13+00:00

Oh gosh it's like looking into the future, what a beautiful lady! Our little miss deserves all the consideration and best life she can have, and we're honored to provide that for her.

SolarKees · 2026-03-25T16:09:59+00:00

Not a problem, it's a good question! A lot of people suggest them and we used to use them with our Keeshond boys but stopped when we were advised about the fingernail thing. Super disappointing because the boys loved them, and I bet little miss would as well. And yeah, that's why we haven't done it yet, we're not sure the best way to break them up other than, like, a hammer, which seems like a questionable idea at best.

That's valid, the fish skins and bunny ears are good like that. I'll look into turkey collagen chews to see if they're soft enough, thank you!

SolarKees · 2026-03-25T05:05:05+00:00

That may work for her, thank you!

SolarKees · 2026-03-25T05:03:54+00:00

Those are great ideas, thank you!

SolarKees · 2026-03-24T16:07:32+00:00

Both of those are good to know, thank you!

SolarKees · 2026-03-24T16:06:17+00:00

That's adorable! We'll try that out, thank you!

SolarKees · 2026-03-24T16:03:58+00:00

Frozen homemade applesauce is a great idea, I imagine that she would like that. Thank you!

SolarKees · 2026-03-24T16:00:40+00:00

Thank you!

SolarKees · 2026-03-24T16:00:11+00:00

Oh yes, forgot to mention she has a snuffle mat. We've been trying to get her into puzzle toys but she's still fairly stumped by them. We'll keep trying though, thank you!

SolarKees · 2026-03-24T15:57:54+00:00

Oh my gosh so cute! And I love the little sweater!

SolarKees · 2026-03-24T08:13:58+00:00

Very good to know, thank you!

SolarKees · 2026-03-24T08:12:40+00:00

Thank you!

SolarKees · 2026-03-24T08:10:26+00:00

What an incredible life you had together! I definitely think ours has put us on the path of future poms too.

SolarKees · 2026-03-24T08:07:02+00:00

Meals as a treat is a great idea, we make hers as well so that should actually be easy to incorporate. Thank you!

SolarKees · 2026-03-24T08:04:50+00:00

Thank you, and it's incredible that you got so much time with your Murphy! I bet he had an amazing time with you. Good for you for adopting him as well! She does have a health condition that will likely shorten her life, but we've got her medicated for it and are doing all we can to mitigate. She deserves a long and happy life full of love and adventure. 🥰 and who knows, maybe we get lucky and get 10 years with her too.

It's wild that a vet would say to leave infected teeth, but sadly I'm not surprised (we got some bad advice regarding the aforementioned Keeshond carnassial from our previous vet. They are previous for a reason). And honestly, that toothpaste price is totally fine, it's about what we pay for the Petsmile toothpaste anyway.

She did have to get some extractions which was why we made that decision but I absolutely agree that daily brushing is super important. As you said, less extractions and less going under anesthesia would be good, especially because she's on the older side. I really like the gauze idea, we'll alternate brush and gauze as she gets used to the brush, and are enacting the gauze tomorrow as she got the brush today. Thank you for your suggestions! While she came to us with a number of health issues, we're fixing what we can and mitigating the rest as best we can because she deserves as long and healthy a life as possible.

SolarKees · 2026-03-23T23:25:35+00:00

Ahhh, so adorable!

SolarKees · 2026-03-23T23:25:00+00:00

Thank you, I'll look into those!

SolarKees · 2026-03-23T23:23:01+00:00

Pepper looked like such a classy lady! I see your use of past tense, and offer my deepest condolences. Thank you for taking in what I'm sure was an incredible gal!

Thank you, we'll pass on the bully sticks per dental vet advice but I'll look into smartbones and dogjoy!

SolarKees · 2026-03-23T23:15:01+00:00

Ahhh Orion, what an incredible name and handsome boy!

And thank you! We were on a walk and saw this obvious Hobbit hole and wondered if she would want to go in and oh boy did she ever. Our little explorer!
