Homeopathy can work to increase nutrients missing causing anemia but amenia is not a disease it is likely the result of the 2 growths in her abdomen which is causing it and those two growths have their own blood supply as they need an ever-increasing blood supply to deliver the oxygen and...

Very likely hyperpigmentation which is caused by an increase in melanin. Melanin is the natural pigment that gives skin, hair and eyes their colour. A number of factors can trigger an increase in melanin production, but the main ones are sun exposure, hormonal influences, age and skin injuries...

Hi and welcome

Atopic dermatitis is hereditary so there is no cure, so it is about managing it for her lifetime where it is inflammed. There are certain lines in certain breeds of dog such as West Highland White Terriers, Labradors, Chinese Shar peis, Springer/Cocker Spaniels and Poodles that are more prone to...

No 'cure' has been found for atopic dermatitis (eczema)....which is what the vet is treating if using Apoquel.

Hi and welcome

I used to take my pups a walk every day, but carried them using a baby sling, as they get heavy, that way they get used to all the sights, sounds and smells without 'risk', so with lead training at home by the time the can walk out, they are lead trained and used to being out, so it is easier...

I wholeheartedly support you wanting to train from day one, why miss out of days/weeks especially in the height of any puppy learning period which is around 5-20 weeks old. You want a well behaved dog, but stop making it harder for yourself ( and the pup) You can do both recall and stay...

If I remember correctly this is a 10 week old ish pup and if so your expectations are too high and too restrictive Meal times are the perfect time/s to teach recall, however a young pup like this has little focus, so it is more about you being consistant, 'encouraging'/waiting for an 'action'...

As you ONLY use a tiny amount ( a lick) and to keep it high value not used for 'everything' it won't affect her...if it works then you know you are onto the right lines and she is listening and as said just having the tube in your pocket which you can bring out so she sees it can work in the...

I think we all feel like that and then wonder what the hell we were thinking when the pup arrives, sleepless nights, house a complete tip, nothing is safe, standing in he rain waiting for the little darling to pee and so on.... Just think you won't have any spare time to get into any...

I do my very best to silently count to ten and not look and open the door and let them outside...then say it Caught in the act opportunity missed... your 'dishcloth flowers' ....I like it!....

Yes it is the dog self rewarding, so it doesn't matter what you say/do when you arrive to find something gone or chewed up as the dog already 'self praised'...however if you do say/do something certainly thinking dogs do things to annoy you then all you do is make the dog more anxious ...humans...

Hi and welcome......lovely pup

In reality is is just positive reinforcement. If you give your dog a reward (praise, play, food, toys, etc.) when he responds to you or offers an action or a behaviour that you like, then that behaviour is likely to be repeated. Your dog learns that good things happen to him when he does the...

You are right she does, she get releif from anxiety she is feeling by chewing and toys thrown around are not of any value at all to her, she can pick them up as she pleases or not as the case may be, but something not around for her all the time or of yours is high value. Stolen is always better...

One thing you could use is Primular cheese Primula | The Original Creamy Cheese - Squeezy & Spreadable so it could potentially be treated as high value as unlikely she has had it before, the tube is clean /easy to put in your pocket, with a flip lid and all she gets is a lick... you can get...
