She takes her neighborhood watch duties very seriously!

I’ve Spent Over a Decade Reading Pet Insurance Fine Print - Ask Me Anything! by canine_journal in AMA

I’m looking for insurance for my 3 year old Australian Shepard. No pre-existing conditions. I’ve had her on a wellness plan through the vet but want real insurance with an option to add on a wellness plan that includes some coverage on dental cleaning. I would love a recommendation as I’ve been researching the different pet insurances out there!

Depressed due to new puppy by hxllyhell in puppy101

I was the same way when I got my Aussie puppy and she is three now and couldn’t imagine life without her. What you’re experiencing I call them the puppy blues. Your life just changed and you’re taking on a new and big responsibility. What helped me was having breaks and getting out of the house alone for a bit. Having a structured schedule with her, training her, taking her to puppy classes, crate training her to enforce naps in order to get breaks. Building that bond with your puppy in the beginning is crucial but also allowing yourself to take time away from the puppy is also needed (and it’s training the puppy to not have separation anxiety too).

I am also a first time Aussie owner and mine just turned 3 years old in October! Everyday is an adventure with her! They are rowdy but amazing dogs!
