It's just been one month since Emily (and Jessica) has moved into my home from the rescue centre. I've been feeding them (2 terrier cross) dry dog food (Hill's) and they've been OK. I've started using wet dog food to fill KONGs but Emily, being the lazy one, has no interest in KONGs, leaving...

Before I took the dogs I bought a bottle of flea control shampoo because I thought that'd be a priority. After the bath they really didn't smell good, in fact I really didn't like the smell of them after using the flea control shampoo. Do shampoos that emphasize flea control smell like that...

Today when I took my dogs over to the vet at the rescue centre to have the "threads" of their de-sexing operation removed, I described the behaviorial problems of my dogs to her. The vet said it is strange that I took two females and that this is not a usual combination because jealousy...

Hi, this is my first post. I came because I needed some help. I've just adopted two adult dogs from the local rescue centre. They are a 3 year old female Emily and a 2 year old female Jessica. The centre staff branded them as "Terrier cross". They are both extremely shy and quiet, while...
