- If you’re not going to bring your dog to a groomer, don’t get a breed that requires grooming(Or groom them yourself if you can) In one shift at the ER, I saw 2 dogs who were so matted, I couldn’t even begin find a single vein without shaving entire limbs to get them off. One had a face matted to the point where I can’t fathom how the poor
- Expressed dog's anal glands for the first time. It shot up into my hair.My long, thick hair. And across my forehead. I don't think I've ever seen my husband laugh that hard before. Also, should this ever happen to anyone else, dog deodorizing shampoo works better to get the smell out of human hair than human shampoo.

- I’m afraid my girlfriend will hurt her dog.My girlfriend has a little chihuahua, she is 15 so she is getting really old. She is in great shape and still runs and jump around like when i first met her years ago. I love this dog so much. However because of her age she is « losing it » a little,
- LPT: If you’re thinking about adopting a mixed breed dog, spend some time on r/DoggyDNA.I’m a fairly experienced dog person but I’ve learned a LOT from spending time on r/DoggyDNA. For example: 1. Mixed breed dogs are almost never 50% or more Labrador Retriever. 2. Rescue dogs that “look like Flat-Coated Retrievers” are NEVER FCRs. Th
- Is it normal for the breeder to pick your puppy for you?We’re going to visit a breeder this morning. The parents are both Grand Champions and have all their health certs so I know the dogs are coming from a great line. She stated instead of having potential owners pick their puppy she likes to know what t
- Hospice care for a puppy is so sad.Honestly don’t know why I’m posting this. It’s 4am, I start a new job today at 7:30 and I’ve been up since two crying. My (28M) dog (1.5F) has a terminal illness. She basically got dropped into my lap when she was 5 weeks old, truly at a time that I
- ER vet: “I wouldn’t want to do that to my own 14 year old dog.”TLDR; Vet made me regret my crisis decision to put my dog through emergency surgery due to a ruptured spleen. Turns out my boy made it with no complications and luckily it was NOT hermangiosarcoma. He was 100% healthy after recovering post surgery. W
- Yelled at people in the Dog Park, feel bad.Went to the local dog park down the street. It's just a small one, but a nice way for my dog to get some energy out from time to time. It has a two gate system, so you need to open 2 gates before you get inside. When I go in I always close the gate b
- There's a newborn baby in the house and they want my 2 years old maltese to be out of the house.So the parents of this newborn baby is my sister and her husband. They don't live in our house but they would temporarily stay in our house because the hospital that she's gonna give birth to is near our house and my mum is a nurse so they need tempo
- Would you adopt your dog's littermate 1+ years later if you found them on Craigslist looking neglected?**Edit: Long update on what I'm doing now** Thank you so much for all the advice, reality checks, encouragement, and discouragement. I spoke to my mom about this situation last night and it ended in a huge argument. She believes it's a bad idea, and
- My dog did a usual dog thing but I’m impressedI needed to find a ball lost somewhere in the snow in my backyard. It just snowed and the drifts got 2-3 feet high. On a whim I told my dog “where’s the ball? Find the ball”. He sniffs it out in 3 seconds, burrows down and finds this ball. He’s ne
- Any way to let people know my dog DOES want pets?This is such a weird issue but it’s breaking my heart. My 1 year old shitzu is extremely social and friendly. She’s an odd colour and has these huge Pixar eyes, so she got lots of attention when she was a puppy. But now she’s a year old and she doesn
- My good boy survived and made it home!!My good boy survived his liver lobectomy and was in the ICU for 4 days but he's home now. He's not a fan of the cone of shame, diet restrictions, activity restrictions, or all the meds, but he's home! I can't begin to tell you how happy we are tha
