Doesn't like dry food?!

We just brought a new dog home, Bailey, and she was a picky eater at the Humane society that she was at before she came to me. She is on Purina Dog Chow and we are going to switch her over to Blue Buffalo senior starting on Wednesday. When she first came to us it would take some coaxing to get her to eat but she would eventually gobble it up. Then last night she went over and sniffed it, got a drink of water, and walked away. We do give treats and I was doing some reasurch on this and one page... more

She has had her routine upset a couple times now, and it would not be unnatural for her to be a reluctant eater for a while. She needs time to adjust and feel comfortable in her new home. Dogs will not starve themselves, so unless you have other dogs, I would just leave the food down for her to eat when... more

Reduce the amount of dry food in the usual food to a minimum that the dog will not notice, and increase it very gradually, literally a few granules. Soaking dry food sometimes helps - so it becomes more fragrant and texture similar to wet food. After the dog begins to eat the dry food offered to her... more

Aggressive Husky

Hello all, I have a husky who needs to be vaccinated & neutered but I am hesitant to take him to the vet since he's aggressive with other humans. Ive tried using a muzzle but he hates it and tries his best to remove it from his snout. Im not sure what else I can do to prevent him from biting the vet., ive thought about using calming sedatives but im not sure if that works. Can anyone please give me some advice? Much appreciated!

Rare Photo Surfaces Of Hachiko: The World's Most Loyal Dog

Hachiko has been named the world's most loyal dog, and for good reason. Those of you who don't know about the amazing Japanese Akita who lived over 80 years ago, you should. When Hachiko's owner died unexpectedly, without the dog's knowledge, Hachiko started a ten year long wait for his owner to return. Many consider this story one of the saddest, some consider it remarkable. Check out this rare photo that was discovered of Hachiko waiting for his owner!

Puppy food amount

We just got an almost 4 month old golden doodle and are feeding him Diamon Naturals Large Breed Puppy food. The bag says to feed him 4 or 5 cups of food a day. His old owner was doing Purina Puppy Chow :( , 1 cup, 2x a day so I started with 1 cup of Diamond 2x a day. He has had large poops 2-3x a day with that amount. Should I really increase to 4-5 cups a day and if so how should I split it up over the day

The Lakeland Terrier is a dog breed, which takes its name from its place of origin, the Lake District in England. The dog is a small to mid-size member of the Terrier family. While independent in personality, it interacts well with owners and all family members, and is mostly hypo-allergenic

My trainer created a monster....

In Alex.. Lol. He's not a small dog person and wants to get a mastiff in a few years. Which is fine with me but ever since we got Sandy, his new plan is get a mastiff and a russell together! LMAO! I'm all for getting another russell and have already stated if we do get one, it'll be my dog since I'm the one involved with sports. I think we'll never be without a JRT in our lives by the looks of things. Lol

You have to be very carefull with your trainer because you will buy Quite / innocent puppy and after Trainer trains him there would be chance to be like monster. IF trainer good then Doggie also become innocent, if trainer treat him like Hell then obviously Dog became a monster.

Puppy Not Interested in ANY Food

Hey, all, My puppy boy (~7 months old Husky/Malamute/GSD mix) has decided that he doesn't care for food. Meaning any food. He stopped touching his raw. Okay, so after a hunger strike, we tried kibble. Nope. Not interested in chicken. Not interested in even the smelliest of foods/treats. Nothing else is wrong. No lethargy. No vomiting. No diarrhea. He's drinking and playing with all the same energy--just VERY reluctantly eating 1/3rd of what he was just 2 weeks or so ago. He... more

A sudden disinterest in food may mean your puppy is sick, perhaps intestinal woes. If you suspect something may be wrong, make an appointment with your puppy's veterinarian. If your puppy eats other kinds of food (like wet food or snacks) and refuses to touch his dry food, he may just be a picky... more

He has itched like crazy, it's gotten worse lately, where if you touch him anywhere, he kinda freezes up and acts like he's being scratched (bad analogy). He has some black powering effects on his skin, but no red rashes, or pustules. I can't really SEE a rash, but the instant he get excited about new people or something like that, he goes into itching mode.

When dog scratching gets out of hand, it is often the result of allergies to food or environmental triggers, including mold and pollen. Dogs may also develop a skin irritation called contact dermatitis when they encounter substances like pesticides or soap. Boredom or anxiety

Curious about Maya's breed...

I got my dog from a shelter about 8 months ago, she's a year and a half old right now. I've gotten comments from people who think she's a whippet, a pit, a shepherd, a boxer, and any combo of the above. Any suggestions anyone?
