Just returned from two weeks in the States. Had a lovely time, but I am really suffering with the post holiday blues. Does anyone else get this when they come back from a trip?

Hi & welcome, Firstly i'd say stop with the rubbing nose in it, doesn't work. Dog cannot assosiate what they've done wrong. Secondly pups of that age need more than two walks. Generally lots of little walks rather than two big walks as there bones are still developing. Now puppy pads. I don't...

Hi! I do like bigger dogs and for that reason I would automatically go for a whippet. However, my brother has two chihuahua's. One is lovely, the other not so much. A bit barky. I think the key for a small dog is to treat them as a normal dog. The mistake a lot of people make is picking them...

Hi, How were they introduced? Did you introduce them on neutral ground or bring the new dog in straight away. It maybe the older dog is still getting used to sharing his space with another. I wouldn't leave them alone until you know for sure it's settled down completely.

I'd just be careful with the finger in the mouth. As I know when people have epileptic fits they advise not to put fingers in the mouth to unblock airways, as they have a tendancy to bite down during a fit without knowing. I assume it maybe the same with dogs.

I ay no brummie ;) Seriously though, I am a yamyam not a Brummie. But to outsiders were all the same, aparently lol

We've had Oreo for three years. She is now 8 or 9. We got her from the RSPCA. We did go to training class, where she was very good but we stopped going a few months ago when she has her lump removed. Fortunately, she had the lump removed and seems better now but haven't picked it back up. We...

I've just had to google CaniX to see what it is! :> I couldn't imagine running with my dog, she has two speeds, sprint and slow walk lol. Can't offer adivce but i'm sure they'll be others along soon who can :)

Hi Debbie, Welcome along! I am half way there (well maybe a quarter ish) as I have a labrador cross. Unfortunatley, not with a poddle. I do love the look of a labradoodle. Not sure what they're like to be around thought, what kind of temperament do they have? Have you had Mac from a pup?

Hi & Welcome, Sorry to hear about your dog. It's an awful experience for both you and your dog to go through. I am glad that he is now on the mend. Was the other dog reported? As for you and your dog it's important that any apprehension is not passed to your dog as they are very good at...

Hi & Welcome. Yes I have and do experience with Oreo. She kind of has head twitches and losses her balance too. Very hard to describe. The vets have said it's a mild form of epilepsy however at her ages isn't worth treating, unless it gets worse. We notice she does it a lot when there is...

Hi, I have had my rescue three years and it's only been recently that we've started to see a different side to her. She would never roll on her back and she is doing it more and more. Once they learn to trust you then they will open up. Until then it's keep going and keep consistant and they...

Hello & Welcome! I love the idea of flyball (unfortunately my dog is too old). I am sure there are plenty of things to do. A good place to start is the local government/council website. As we're getting closer towards winter I suspect a lot of outdoor dog events will finish until the summer...

I thought that dog food has to be fit for human consumption. The one issue I have found with dog food is it isn't clear what exactly is in the foods. In my case I was checking for wheats etc but this also applies to the meat etc. I'm not sure I can answer your question however, one way around...

Hi! Westies are known to have skin problems. As I found out from my dog just because you don't see them chew does not mean they're not chewing. It could be as something as simple as a flea allergy or more complex like an allergy to food or dust. It may even be doggy dry skin. I would consult...
