    Got my girl back after being apart for 2 months, is her diet affecting her behaviour?

    Adding onto old theories and experience of mine her overall behaviour has greatly improved and can go 3-4 hours without wanting out. Relatives who cared for her gave her a supplement for digestion and that ran out 10 days ago and during the period where she was with them and until a few days...

    Injured myself and had to temporarily let someone care for my girl

    An update on me, 8 weeks ago I fell taking my girl into field to go potty and broke my leg and was in hospital for a few weeks and needed surgery. My girl is at my relatives being spoiled, she is still hyper and I think understimulated as relatives are pensioners they can only take her out for...

    17 month old BC going back into her old bad habits

    Just Chicken mince, the butcher also sells beef mince for dogs I don't mind adding some of that in. Also I bought tins of dog food just in case I can give her.

    17 month old BC going back into her old bad habits

    She was spayed back in October, I did think myself these were the same symptoms she showed when she was in season. She has been to vets though who felt her stomach etc and found nothing there.

    17 month old BC going back into her old bad habits

    Over past 6 weeks or so out of nowhere she has began being sensitive to noise, pulling lead on a walk and even when she comes in she stands at top of stairs and then plays tug of war with her lead. Since New Year she also had regular accidents indoors despite zero change to diet, vet says her...

    Finding the right amount of food for a wet/raw diet

    After a few more days trying to work out a good amount to give her and best method to cook. Originally I tried boiling but that was taking ages as always seemed part raw, tonight tried frying and it took about 15 minutes as it had so much water in, I just cooked in its own juices seems to work...

    Finding the right amount of food for a wet/raw diet

    To be honest it was just guesswork for the tinned food, 1 tin per day split into 2 meals but she had treats during day too. I only looked at the tin a few days ago and it did say for her weight range (15 kilos is what she is meant to be about) 1 and a half tins a day and so she was having half a...

    Finding the right amount of food for a wet/raw diet

    I changed pup from dried food almost 2 months ago as she wanted out a lot for poops and wees, she reacted well to it at first it was boiled chicken breast, and the odd leftover beef mince, and a few times fish depended on what I had that needed cooked. Then I put her on tinned food but noticed...

    Changing from dry food due to how often she wants out.

    Well I put her back on cooked food a few days ago and she still wants out a lot of wees so that part of my theory is out of window, that being said she doesn't want out during the night at all anymore and sleeps till 8am each day. Next week is her Xray to see if she has problems with her tubes...

    Changing from dry food due to how often she wants out.

    So after a little testing, last night gave her a pouch of wet food yes I know not the best food just wanted to see if it was any different, and another in morning then evening meal today was boiled chicken. She had 2 big poops in morning though mostly solid, and a small one in afternoon and...

    Changing from dry food due to how often she wants out.

    So she has had 4 poops today so far each bigger than the single one/two she has done in previous days. I wouldn't say I have cracked the reason for why she wants out so much to wee as she probably does have problems going but its just interesting that before I started adding dry food back in...

    Changing from dry food due to how often she wants out.

    Wrote in past about possibly going on raw diet, didn't at time as she was under 1 year old as well as the only suppliers I saw being very expensive. Noticed a few things about her recently, was away on holiday and was running low on dog food and didn't want to buy a large amount for 2 days or...

    Sudden dislike of bedroom to sleep at night

    Neighbours are 80 year old pensioners who go to bed early though I have issues with them as they are grumpy and complain, they don't have a desktop just a laptop and go to bed very early. What was strange about the 1st night was there was slightly stormy weather so I assumed that was related...

    Sudden dislike of bedroom to sleep at night

    Though I overthink things there may be a possibility she is in season again. I just assumed as we were away on holiday that was why she was extra hyper, visiting family with older dog I took them both on a walk and she vaulted over her and also over small fences on the walk and was ignoring all...
