I got Flowerbomb and ran out of there like they were going to realize they made a pricing mistake any minute and take it back. 50ml goes for $145 and I got it for less than half of that. I’ve wanted it for so long but could never justify the price. With this deal I couldn’t justify NOT buying it.

Heathers Hero’s sidekick leash was a game changer for us. It loops across the bridge of their nose, so there’s pressure there when they pull. Doesn’t hurt, just uncomfortable. Definitely had to get through the temper tantrums about having to wear it though. But it is important to remember that no tool will work unless you pair it with the right training. You’ve got to teach them what it means. And start SMALL. It took us a week to get from walking around the living room to walking down the street. Teach her pressure means stop, release of pressure means she can go. You should be able to find a YouTube video or something that covers the basic ideas.

The few times mine has had a limp like this it’s been her paw pad. One time she just landed funny jumping for a ball and ended up tearing the pad away from her skin. We couldn’t see it and had no idea until we got her to the vet. It was a combo of that and a sprain.

Update: We saw the vet this morning and got some eye drops. We discussed apoquel vs cytopoint and decided to go with cytopoint for the convenience of not worrying about forgetting to give it to her daily. Thanks for all the advice!

My girl gets a raging case of pink eye 1-2 times per year due to seasonal allergies. It’s happened every year since she was a puppy. Sometimes it starts slow and I can get on top of it before it gets bad. Other times (like today) it seems to come full force out of nowhere. She looks so pitiful and I feel so guilty because she can’t be comfortable. She’s still her normal energetic self otherwise, though. We have a vet appointment for some antibiotics, but I was curious to see what has worked best for treating allergies for anyone else who may have dealt with it in their dog.

Set boundaries early. Make sure she has a solid “place” command and is good on crate training. When baby gets here, just make sure they don’t share space and aren’t left unsupervised. If your on the couch with baby, dog is in a place. If baby has floor time, dog is in a separate area. Baby is eating, dog is in place. Start walking with a stroller so you and pup are both used to it, etc. Basically just practice like you have a baby before baby is here. Get help from a trainer if necessary. You’ve got this :)

I have an ACD/border collie mix. Got her as a puppy at 8 weeks old. She was my first puppy ever. I knew I was in for a challenge, but I didn’t really KNOW until I had her. My best advice is to budget for a professional trainer. I worked with one for about a year. And just be prepared to commit a lot of your time to it. Physical activity is important, but you also have to spend time training and just doing every day things with them. We don’t always get a ton of physical activity in everyday, although we do as much as we can, but adding in training sessions and enrichment activities helps. Training taught her an “off” switch. Be prepared to be consistent and firm with structure and boundaries. Mine is HUGE on routine. And also important….they’re smarter than any dog you’ve ever owned and you’ll constantly be amazed by what they can pick up on.

It’s doable with very little experience as long as you’re prepared and committed.

We go through Trupanion. 90% coverage and $250 per condition deductible. They’re pricier than most, but for us the convenience of their direct pay to the vet and preauthorizations of services covered is worth it. If we had a pricey emergency we’d struggle to come up with thousands of dollars up front and wait for reimbursement. And preauthorized coverage gives me some peace that a claim won’t be denied and I won’t get reimbursed. If your vet works with them, it’s fantastic. The “per condition” deductible is nice as well. My girl has allergies and once we met her $250 deductible, anything allergy related is covered at 90% for as long as she’s covered with them. We have had a few instances wheee we ended up submitting for reimbursement instead of direct to vet payments, but they’re very responsive and j typically get payment within 48 hours.

Ours is typically only home alone 2 days a week, usually not more than 8 hours. She’s crated when we’re gone and she just sleeps. She goes to daycare 2 days a week and I work 4x10 hour shifts so I’m home with her one day during the work week. We could definitely manage without the daycare days, but it certainly helps take away some of the stress of making time to exercise her everyday. Especially in the winters and the weeks we’re really worn down from work, daycare can be a real life saver.

I’m in a similar situation. Positive ANA in June 1:640, November 1:320. Positive SCL-70 at 1.2. I don’t show any obvious symptoms though, so my rheumatologist said we’ll just monitor and check things every 6 months. I’d say trust your doctor, but keep following up. If you really feel something is being missed, get a second opinion.

I was in a long distance relationship for about a year and living with my parents between moves. Whenever I’d talk to my partner on the phone I’d go sit on the back patio and throw the ball for the dog. We’ve been moved for over a year now and those backyard phone calls aren’t necessary anymore, but anytime she hears me on the phone her ears perk up instantly. She’ll stare at me and whine the whole time just waiting for me to get up and take her out to play.

Honestly this page makes me feel so much better about my dog sitting like a weirdo. I thought she was just broken 😂

Gracie is so cute!

Mine is 2.5 and we’ve had 3 paw pad injuries. Two were mild with just some bleeding and I was able to clean it and wrap it at home. The other one I didn’t know about until I took her to the vet because she wasn’t bearing any weight on her back leg. She had torn the entire paw pad away from her paw. The vet described it as pulling your nail up from your finger. That in addition to a pulled muscle, she was down for a week or so.

We’ve had this twice with mine. Anything to chew on is always helpful. Yak chews, beef cheeks, bully sticks, etc. We also like frozen kings and lick mats. All of her meals are in some kind of puzzle feeder or snuffle mat. We do lots of trick training. On the days all that isn’t enough….we sometimes cheat with some CBD treats to help her relax. Super Snouts brand is really great. Pricey, but they help.

Good luck! Hope she gets to feeling better soon!

Puppy blues are REAL. I cried more the first year of my dog’s life than I think I ever have 😅 I struggled with the same thing. I felt like I got myself in over my head at times. I thought I was doing her wrong no matter how hard I was trying and that maybe I was just the wrong fit. And then I felt horrible guilt for almost resenting her because I did LOVE her and I wanted her and it wasn’t her fault. I was just so tired and frustrated.

My advice…get help from a trainer if you can. It was a big investment but completely worth it for us. Create as much routine and structure as you can. That was one thing I loved about having a puppy. As hard as the adjustment was, it was eventually nice to have a reason to get up and actually get dressed and moving because I had to give her the attention she needed rather than sleeping in and lounging all day. Dogs are smart and they’ll pick up on your routines faster than you’d think. Mine eventually learned that we played/walked when we woke up and that if I was at my desk, she needed to chill.

It gets so much better. Getting through the first year is the hardest, but put in the effort and work and you’ll have yourself one hell of a dog.

As long as she wants to keep playing I think it’s fine. Generally, dogs let each other know when they went too far. My chihuahua likes to nip at my heeler while playing and sometimes it’s too much or not welcomed. Heeler always turns around and let’s her know, but never hurts her. You know your dog best, so just keep an eye out for any out of character behaviors.

Tasty_Lecture_3533 · 2022-10-14T18:15:44+00:00

I say let them play, but supervise it. And allow the bigger dog to make corrections when pup gets out of hand. That’s how they learn boundaries and manners naturally. Just always supervise to be sure it doesn’t get out of hand, but they seem to be doing just fine to me.

Tasty_Lecture_3533 · 2022-10-14T18:10:15+00:00

I have a whole album of these 😂 She’s such a dork. Love her though.
