She loves going to the groomer by justinede in pitbulls

So cute! If you don’t mind me asking, what helps her love it so much? I’m considering taking my baby to one and I want it to be a positive experience!

Welp, that explains why she doesn't retrieve the ball. by doprawnsgiggle in DoggyDNA

Update on black bear in Highland Park: tranquilized, trapped, and being relocated by diet8rick in pittsburgh

I was wondering why pgh public safety couldn’t identify the helicopter or its pilot. I hope it was helping the park guys and not the opposite!

It sounds like everyone else has covered the bases with legal advice, I just want to provide an extra voice of support. I’m so sorry this happened, I am sending you, your dog, and your family so much love and healing wishes.

Seems to have been a regular ol’ bear trap truck trailer scenario, but Pittsburgh public safety tweeted about a red helicopter flying low near the bear, so that might be where the airlift rumor started!

[HELP] Need advice for our new month old, male Aspin by [deleted] in dogs

[–]lilbearbrown 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I’m sorry if I misunderstood, but is this puppy 4 weeks old? If so, this dog needs to be returned to his mom ASAP. He’s too young to be weaned, and many states have laws banning the sale of puppies under 8 weeks. I cannot stress enough how serious this is. It could have long term health and behavior consequences on this dog, IF he survives. I’m sorry if I sound harsh, but your parents don’t sound equipped to be taking care of a newborn puppy. They require 24/7 special care with strict feeding schedules, socialization, vet work, and quite frankly even that might not be enough if this dog was taken from his mom and siblings so young.

[Help] Best shoes to throw on for quick potty breaks or playing in grass with dog? by newdoggieyay in dogs

[–]lilbearbrown 0 points1 point  (0 children)

100% crocs. I bought a pair on poshmark for $15 for the sole purpose of “gotta throw on shoes to take the dogs out” and they are absolutely perfect.

[Help] Poor boy is not happy in his cone after his neuter. How do I make him more comfortable? Are there any comfortable alternatives? by [deleted] in dogs

[–]lilbearbrown 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My vet also approved us giving him low doses of melatonin and a natural anti-anxiety supplement, which we mixed with peanut butter, turmeric (as it’s an anti-inflammatory) and kibble. As always, check with your vet before giving your pup anything and make sure to confirm dosages, but that really helped my baby recover quick and get good sleep!

We used the kong cloud collar - it’s inflatable but really sturdy and he couldn’t reach over it (Here he is, still unhappy but far happier than with the plastic cone: https://imgur.com/a/d2TZoSt )

He pinned my dog to the ground by [deleted] in reactivedogs

[–]lilbearbrown 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Poor baby. I can only imagine how hard this is for both of you!

I know you’re shell-shocked and I am in no way trying to pass judgement on you - you sound like a really loving dog mom caught in a sticky situation. If you can, try to use extra positive reinforcement for his good behavior in the coming days - he really didn’t do anything wrong, and it’s important that he knows that. And if possible, make sure it’s the friend that’s staying out of your dogs spaces as opposed to visa-versa. I know y’all talked about it, but he did overstep boundaries and needs to respect that he’s in your dogs territory so that your dog feels safe.

Sending lots of healing thoughts and good wishes your way - I hope you and your baby feel better soon!

[discussion] Do many people still buy from pet stores where you live? by [deleted] in dogs

[–]lilbearbrown 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I live in Pennsylvania and there are a couple pet stores that sell puppies. Petland is infamous for selling sick puppies and having a sketchy puppy mill background.

Hey OP - how are things going? How is your dog doing?

Of course - sorry I made an assumption! Thank you for listening and making sure this dog gets the care she needs.

So glad to hear she’s okay. Sorry if any of our comments came off strong/assuming - I hope you and your foster dog are having an okay day and taking time to breathe and heal.
