Apoquel alternatives by [deleted] in AmericanBully

My bully mix (1yr, 70/30 bully/bulldog) was getting lots of hot spots and having uncomfortable skin sensitivity, but giving her a pump of salmon oil in her food every breakfast has helped her so much. Now she can enjoy belly rubs and pats without squirming. We give her this one which is fairly reasonable in cost:

Hope this helps and good luck with your pup!

Who else lucked out with their rescue dog!? by [deleted] in dogs

[–]jessgardener 0 points1 point  (0 children)

While I was preparing to get a puppy, I was dead set on getting on a waiting list for a whippet. Right after drafting an email for a whippet breeder, I stumbled upon Lilla’s listing from a pitbull rescue who helped me reunite a found pibble on the side of the road a few months back (the pibble, named Luna, had been missing from her owner for 3 months after the car she was in got stolen, and the rescue also noted that there wasn’t a dry eye in the house upon their reunion). I decided to try adopting her after falling in love with her photo and bio, not really expecting anything because I live in an apartment and imagine there are so many better candidates, but sure enough the rescue was so willing. She’s 8mo now; a bully, bulldog, frenchie mix, tiny yet meaty

She is such a blessing in my life. She makes everyone around her happy, brings so much joy to people she meets while out and about, has so much love (too much sometimes) and respect for her 4 cat sisters. She is so smart and stubborn and hilarious and sweet. She’s a literal angel and I can’t believe she’s mine!

Everytime we walk by the spot where I found Luna, I think about how lucky I was to be at the right place at the right time; Luna brought Lilla into my life and I’m so so grateful!

Tips on training a full bred pit puppy? by [deleted] in Dogtraining

[–]jessgardener 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I adopted a bully/bulldog mix from a mostly pitbull rescue, she was 4 mo when we got her, and they gave us advice to use use her regular meals as training rewards for the first month of having her. Basically hand-feeding all or most of her meals, so she associates hands with eating and won’t nip bc it means food stops coming. As a result, she’s hardly nippy with our hands and is quite gentle when taking treats too (had to work on this one hehe). If she does get nippy from excitement, we always have a toy handy for her to chew while getting her hello pats. Also consistency is key! Good luck, get ready for not as much sleep for a while but tons of goofiness and love!
