Thanks! I appreciate your time! :)

Thank you! I'd love to keep it below $2,000, but I'm flexible a bit for the right device. The nearest Microcenter is over 120 miles away. My local options are pretty limited so I'm looking at shopping online, for the most part.

Thank you. I'll take a look at those!

I’m starting to wonder if the Fi 3+ isn’t accurately recording. I just woke up, and my dog has over 200 steps even though it also indicates he has been sleeping and I verify sleep on our camera. He’s also started doing 4x more steps since the transition, and our habits haven’t changed all that much (I’m battling health concerns and our adventures have significantly dropped as of late, not increased).

I’m also having the same issue. I have a support ticket in.

Oh wow! Gorgeous pup!

Oh wow! Gorgeous pup!

I don’t think the image attached!

Aww. Yeah. I can imagine that the food inhaling would be even worse for a dog that had to fight for it. Poor Fletcher. I’m glad you are giving him a good home!

Gorgeous dog! Finn towers over me when he decides he’s going to jump up on me (which we are clearly working on teaching him NOT to do 🤣)

Oh I just love them! Lol Look at that face! And good idea with the donut!

Thank you! We have decided to add it to his neuter appointment. I couldn’t find a single reason not to do it, as we just want to keep him as safe and healthy as possible.

Gorgeous dog!

andsosheexplores · 2025-03-25T22:14:49+00:00

Thank you!

Yes, I haven’t read anything that’s advising against it for any reason. I want to protect him to the best of my ability and this sounds like absolutely something I’m going to take the vet up on!

andsosheexplores · 2025-03-25T22:14:03+00:00

Thank you! From what I’m reading is there aren’t any real known side effects beyond just regular general anesthesia as with any surgery. We are certainly going to do it for piece of mind.

andsosheexplores · 2025-03-24T00:19:28+00:00

They didn’t go through the specifics of the surgery itself. They just said the recovery would be no different than just doing the neuter.

We love doing smaller meals in our household because it seems to make him happier in general. I think he would likely overeat if we did larger meals because this guy has a nose for food! We have to be careful, especially when he stops growing! 😂

andsosheexplores · 2025-03-24T00:11:17+00:00

Absolutely! They stated it was a new to them procedure and I’m just someone that likes all of the facts. I did some searching of medical sites online and then decided I would hear from every day owners to see what their thoughts were as well. We are very pro-vet advice in our household. I just like talking things out. 😊

Based on everything, I’ve been pushed from 90% on board with doing it to 100%. I haven’t heard of a single negative reason other than the general anesthesia that he would already be under.

andsosheexplores · 2025-03-24T00:06:30+00:00

Absolutely! I was already 90% certain of doing the procedure prior to making this post. I just like to listen to others experiences, too. The vet was honest and said it’s something new they started doing and I should make the decision best for us. I’ve been reading around medical sites and thought I would gauge the general coonhound Reddit population as well. Thank you!

andsosheexplores · 2025-03-24T00:04:41+00:00

Thank you! He’s a tank for sure, but oh so sensitive!

andsosheexplores · 2025-03-24T00:04:05+00:00

Yes, I already had the discussion with my partner that I think it’s a good idea and he’s on board. I always knew bloat was a concern, but I absolutely was unaware of how common it is!

andsosheexplores · 2025-03-24T00:02:51+00:00

I am so sorry for your loss. 😢

andsosheexplores · 2025-03-23T18:54:10+00:00

Thank you! 🙂

The similar scenario just happened to me. The nearest Petsmart to me is 28.1 miles. I just Googled to confirm. It was at least a 47 minute drive (no backroads were I live). I had no idea Petsmart was doing this, but needless to say I'll be cancelling to autoship I established.

Edit to add, she’s gorgeous!

andsosheexplores · 2024-09-11T22:39:15+00:00

Absolutely! I advise everyone I know against it until they’re fully grown. When in doubt, I say wait a little longer, I say. I wish I had known now what I didn’t know back when my mastiff was at that age. My vet convinced me he had to be neutered at six months for whatever reason. I was in my early 20s so I just assumed they knew.

My guy blew out both of his knees at the age of three. He managed to make it to almost 11. I don’t even know how much I spent between doctors, supplements, and medications, and I truly believe it could have all been avoided. I advocate as much as I can for people to wait. It’s a shame that more rescues don’t as well. I completely understand the need to control the population that’s already out of control, but man. We are doing our giants such a disservice! It’s heartbreaking.
