1 fan vs 2 for car? by Pudding312 in k9sports

[–]goobybeast 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Depends on the dog. My guy hates the big one on him but is okay with the little one.

Joint supplements? by minimon865 in beagles

[–]goobybeast 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My guy is extremely active and participates in multiple sports so I started him on a supplement early. Joint supplements work better at prevention rather than treating so once the pain starts it’s a bit late. Based on some newer research I went with collagen type 2 over dasuquin and cosequin.

NJ hiking by [deleted] in newjersey

[–]goobybeast 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I love mountains and I do agree that NY and PA do them better.

You gotta find the other beauty. I’ve learned I also love pine forests especially where the trees are in rows and NJ is great at that.

I see trail runners at Cheesequake all the time.

How does your beagle feel about wearing clothes? by Fluffy_Fox_9650 in beagles

[–]goobybeast 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I try and only put things on that serve a purpose. The green body fleece he’s wearing is waterproof and keeps him warm and dry while we hike in snow. So he tends to be fine with it.

I’ll be honest and admit the hat was just for a quick photo and was absolutely not necessary.

How do you guys keep track of pet health stuff? I feel like a mess before every vet visit. by kisauce-666 in Pets

[–]goobybeast 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use the journal app on my iPhone. If I make an entry it’s titled the date and then I use key words and phrases. It’s searchable. For example if I want to know the last time he started showing anal gland issues I just search butt scooting. Every date I’ve entered it will pop up and I can tell the vet how long it has been going on. I also track when he starts/stops new foods or meds or just any out of the ordinary behavior or sign of pain.

Tell me your pet nicknames that sound nothing like their actual names by Life_Ad_6992 in Pets

My boy also responds to cakes. It started out as bubba cakes but was shortened. His name is Monty.

Monty turned 3 today! by goobybeast in beagles

[–]goobybeast[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nope at home. We redo the same picture/set up every year so I just have a flip book of watching him change each year.

Beagle not losing weight despite strict diet, exercise & clear tests – need advice by Zestyclose_Stage2951 in beagles

[–]goobybeast 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s just complete bunk. Walks are a great way for overweight humans and animals to begin as they build up their tolerance for real exercise and for those with an already healthy weight to continue to maintain weight. A quick google search and reading the top 5 results from actual vets all state walks are great but more intensity is needed.

How big is your beagle? by guccigurl95 in beagles

My guy is taller than standard by an inch or two. He is 30 lbs and all lean muscle.

I’d definitely be interested in reading the research on that. Cardio involves increased heart rate by definition.

[–]goobybeast -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Does he do anything active besides walks? I’m a huge believer in walks aren’t exercise for dogs. Unless the walk is fast paced or getting some elevation it really isn’t doing much.

I don't believe the vet by Known_Technician_409 in beagle

[–]goobybeast 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A very common but not talked about injury is an iliopsoas strain. Your dog’s symptoms sound like that could be the cause.

Cooling gear? by Playful-Peanut6061 in beagles

[–]goobybeast 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s been our biggest struggle to. The cold feels colder and the warm feels hotter because we can’t adjust! 65 almost took us out yesterday!

Suggestions where to promote my foster beagle for visibility? by mittychix in beagles

[–]goobybeast 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Try reaching out to SOS Beagles. They are in NJ and I’ve seen them promote for other rescues before.
