    Soft poos from a new rescue

    My dog isn't a rescue but has had a dodgy tum since 6 months. The vet put him on Purina GE, then on to Purina Hypoallergenic. They now think however it's not allergies but pancreatitis, and he has a supplement called ProEnzorb which keeps him mostly stable. However, I don't like giving processed...

    When do puppies start settling themselves

    Thank you! Yes, we are doing pretty well. I'm an impatient mum. And he certainly has been throwing new things at me the last few days ... I've had to retrain 'Leave it' and, as ever, work out new ways to deal with persistent problems more effectively. I need to get back to work (currently on 2...

    When do puppies start settling themselves

    Hi folks Vito is now 16.5 weeks old. I know he's still a baby, but I'm wondering when a puppy tends to start settling itself when it's tired. He will sometimes do this, but often he needs me to take charge and put him in the crate before his behaviour gets too terrible. I don't really like doing...

    1st time puppy owner. Help please

    Oh, and it's often overtiredness that makes things worse.

    1st time puppy owner. Help please

    Vito is 14 weeks old and I totally feel your pain. He is definitely better than he was, so hang in there. He is teething now, which Snoop must be, so you need plenty of things to offer for that. Vito loves his antler from Green & Wilds, frozen filled Kongs, and also bones and bully sticks but I...

    puppy sleep duration

    Yes, I'm beginning to wonder if he's an owl, whilst I'm a lark. However he does get tired at night and seems ready to go to bed at 10-10.30. If there's one thing Vito does well, it's keep me guessing about everything!

    puppy sleep duration

    No need to apologise. I wasn't clear. He sleeps in the crate at night but prefers to be outside it during the day. I think he does really well to do more than 8 hours overnight, but I wonder whether he needs more night/early morning sleep time.

    puppy sleep duration

    Yes, he's a border collie. He isn't often crated as he sleeps better outside it. I only put him in if he is overtired, behaving badly and resisting sleep.

    puppy sleep duration

    No, he's not desperate, though he does wee as soon as we go outside. He does wait quietly for me, yes. I think if he wanted attention he'd say so.

    puppy sleep duration

    Thanks. He isn't desperate for a wee when we get up, but he does wee as soon as we get outside, and poo too. He's always wide awake because he's heard me moving around. I fear he may be awake from very early because I always have to go to the loo between 4 and 5, and the bedroom is right above...

    puppy sleep duration

    Hi everyone, I'm new. My puppy is Vito, a border collie born 2 June 2020, so currently 14 weeks old. He sleeps well at night in his crate (though he doesn't like it in the day and sometimes sleeps very little in the day anyway). I give him 8 and a quarter hours from his last wee, meaning I...
