Hello and welcome. Susan and Rosie x

She's gorgeous. Bless her. xx

I agree with Kate, another dog at this stage would not be a good thing, in my opinion. Her problem does sound like fear and certainly, the incident with the Boxer will have made things worse. A good training class could work well for her in helping her to relax around other dogs. x

As advised above, she does need to be on a good quality food, but it needs to be a complete puppy food, which she should stay on until her litter are weaned. If she won't eat dried food, you can get good quality complete wet foods. If she's being choosy, maybe cut out the pigs' ears and...

They are selective with the truth Kate. They rehomed a 6 year old male Shepherd to a couple two doors from me, failing to tell them he was dog aggressive. Whilst being walked by the woman, he pulled away from her and attacked and nearly killed a Miniature Schnauzer. He later did the same...

We have a Staffy girl, she's also fourteen, and she has the habit of licking her front paws and legs. We could find no cause at all, so we stop her doing it and she will get the message. It's difficult for you though if your girl is doing it when you're not there. If this has only just...

Oh, poor you, no wonder you're at your wits end. Although Lenny appeared to adapt well to the house move, it seems very likely that's what's behind this change in him. It sounds as though he's feeling very insecure and has gone into overdrive with his scent marking around his new 'territory'...

A friend of mine once visited RSPCA Headquarters and she was shocked at the cars on their car parks belonging to RSPCA Executives. She said they were all new or nearly new, top of the range, Mercedes, BMW and Large 4 x 4's. Is that where a large part of any donations go? Must be. I donate to...

We have to be careful what we feed to Leah, our Staffy girl, as she easily turns into a walking wind machine! She can clear a room in five minutes, it is a real problem. We found she has no problem with Harringtons, (very reasonably priced and available in Supermarkets), and she can have JWB...

I would stop trying to use the crate for house training. If she's happy to take herself in there to sleep or chew a treat, you don't want to end up in a situation where she won't go in it at all. Crate training does work for some, but it's obviously not doing with her and if she's getting...

If she won't eat the Chappie, it may well be worth trying fish, if you haven't already, as Chappie is fish rather than meat based I think. Maybe tinned sardines or mackerel, with all the oil dried off on kitchen paper. It is so upsetting to see them ill, poor girl. She sounds as though she's...

I have a good friend who is a Veterinary Nurse at the Practice I use. She tells me that Vets will sell Hill's Prescription Diet because they get a sizeable commission on it, but it actually is no better than any other bland diet. My Jack Russell suffers with IBD/Colitis and she often has...

I don't know of any device that would soften the impact when they hit the end of the lead. I have the same problem with Rosie. I often take her in a park where there are squirrels, and she will chase after one and hit the end of the lead with a bang. I was worried about the impact on her...

Like Kate, I've always taken my pups out as soon as they've had the second jab. I have always had Rosie boosted every year, but this time, I haven't. There is a growing amount of evidence that we are over vaccinating our dogs. However, this was purely my choice and I would never try to tell...

Hello and welcome to the forum. Susan and Rosie x

Hello and welcome. I have a Jack Russell Terrier, a four year old called Rosie. Susan x

I quite enjoyed my brief spell as a male .............. it gave me chance to turn into a bit of a lager lout!! x

I make fingernail sized treats from tuna, in spring water but with the moisture mostly squeezed out, and baked in the oven until crisp. Leah and Rosie love them and at least I know what's in them!

Good Luck. It's very sweet of you to put yourself out to help this little dog. Susan x

What a horrible experience for you, I feel so sorry that this had to happen. I don't think your GSD was responsible. If the puppy had been bitten, it would have screamed or made some noise and puncture wounds tend to bleed very little, if at all. You knew yourself, or suspected, that the...
