I've been giving my dog the 0-22lb Frontline but he's gained some weight (long story...he can't live with me right now because the apartment I had to take doesn't allow dogs. My mom took him for the year until I can find a better place but she's older and doesn't walk him as much) I'm out of...

My boyfriend and I got our dog when my boyfriend had a stable job and had had the job for a few years. Flash-forward to today, my boyfriend lost that job and we moved closer to my family. I am now working while my boyfriend goes to school but I make crap money and we can barely afford our own...

I went to the wet in August for my dog's routine checkup. I told her that my dog was getting picky about his food and asked for any suggestions about what I could do or add to it to make it more palatable for him. She suggest that I use a little bit of low sodium chicken broth and so I've been...

My dog is about 3 years old and he was just given a Bordetella vaccine. He was tested for heartworm and lymes and thankfully they were both negative. He is due today for his heartworm pill (interceptor) but because he was given a vaccine, I'm afraid to give him his heartworm pill too =/ I...

My dog is getting his DHPP vaccine tonight and I'm so worried that he's going to have a reaction or something like that. Is there anything I can do to prevent him from having a reaction/side effects? I got him his rabies shot a month ago because the idea of giving him his shots at the same...

My dog needs his Rabies, Parvo and Bordetella vaccines renewed. He is due on the 23rd and so that's the date I made the appointment for. However, I've been reading a bit and I noticed that some people suggest NOT getting the Rabies vaccine within at least 2 weeks of any other vaccinations...

I just posted a few days ago about the necessity of a re-check with my vet. The vet herself said that if my dog seemed okay then it wasn't totally necessary. Well, he seemed to be doing better and I gave him his last dose of Tresaderm on Tuesday. On Wednesday his ears (his left ear specifically)...

My dog has been having a slight ear issue for about a month or so. He's been shaking his head a bit more and scratching his ears. It's nothing chronic, I can't see any wax, his ears don't have any foul smell, and it's not a constant thing but I noticed that it's been on-going for about a month...

(My dog eats everything!) I was outside with my dog and he quickly grabbed some gross piece of meat or something that I didn't see quick enough to avoid! I quickly got my hand in his mouth to get it out, but he never, ever unlocks his jaw when he wants something. I was just trying to prevent...

It is a toy like this. I NEVER leave him alone with it because he is a big chewer, but I got distracted this time :( I noticed that he ate some of the strings on the end of it. I can't really explain how much he ate...it's difficult to explain. Do you think he's going to be alright? What should...

I recently got a dog and I figured since it's spring now, I should get him some flea/tick medication. I live in the northeast where ticks/lymes disease is really bad and I take him in the woods a lot, so I figured I'd be safe. I've never put the medication on before. I had a dog before this but...

My dog is 1.5 to 2 years old. He's about 16.5lbs and 11 inches from paw to shoulder, just to give you an idea. He doesn't seem to have a ton of energy, which is fine and what we wanted. But it seems like he gets tired out really easily. It's not that he pants or anything, but he'll spend some...

Hey everyone! I've been posting the last few days about a dog my boyfriend and I were meeting on Sunday. Well, we're doing a trial for a week (I don't think a week is long enough to get to know the dog very well but...) we're totally smitten with him and going to adopt him. Even my boyfriend...

The dog I might get is about 20lbs and I'm not sure which food would be best for him. We bought Wellness Core but now I'm wondering if we should take it back and get the small breed adult formula. He is about 2 years old. Any suggestions? Is the Core too much for him since he's only 20lbs and...

Hey guys, I'm sorry if I've been posting too much (this is my third post in like, 4 days) I just need all the help I can get :p No one that I know has ever adopted a dog so I'm not sure who else to ask. I want to make sure it's a good fit between me and the dog, but I'm not exactly sure how...

Hey again, everyone! You were so helpful with my last question, so I figured I'd try again :) The dog I was telling you guys about is coming to meet my boyfriend and I on Sunday. While I've had a dog before, my mother picked him put when I was about 7 so I've never picked out my own dog...

Hello, everyone! I was posting on here a lot right around the time that my dog had to be put to sleep. It's been about 5 months or so and I'm ready to adopt a new dog. My boyfriend and I don't want a puppy, so we're looking at dogs that are around a year old. I found a dog I really like...

I've been taking everything into account that everyone's been saying about how long I should wait. I really feel that I could give a dog a good, loving home. I also feel that I just can't live without a dog in my life. I've been looking at a lot of dogs on Petfinder, and I recently found one...

Hello. I recently posted that I had to put my dog, Tinder, down It hasn't even been a week (although it feels like it's been months) and I am missing having a dog like crazy. I never, ever knew it was going to be this hard. I have had a dog for almost my entire life, and it feels so...

I'm just keeping everyone updated. He didn't have another seizure or anything but he wasn't doing good. He was sleeping constantly. He was either sleeping (or just laying there) and the only time he would get up would be to pee or to drink. And he'd drink a LOT when he did finally drink. His...
