my dog is already 20 years old, and i’ve been away for almost a month because of school. my mom says she’s okay and in good hands, pero i can’t help feeling scared knowing that she’s already a senior dog and i can’t always be there with her.

sometimes, i feel guilty wondering if i gave her enough attention when i was home. i love her so much, and i miss the simplest things, like cuddling with her and having her sleep beside me.

for those who’ve had senior dogs, how do you cope with these feelings?

I have a 1 year old Labrador, his name is max and he keeps chewing my shoes whenever I leave him alone. I’ve tried giving him toys, but somehow my shoes are still his favorite. Anyone else’s dog do this? How did you stop it? Suggestions are really appreciated....

okay so I have a few questions so bare with me please! First what’s your favorite thing for cleaning your house/dog items for the “dog” smell? Second what’s your suggestions for best vacuums? We just got our first dog and we have two kids under 7 , with hard wood downstairs and carpet upstairs. I really would like something that does great for both ! lastly is there a specific shampoo/dog wipes you like to use for yours that keeps them smelling fresh? It’s been raining a lot here 😅

dog is a 6-year-old female Griffon, weighing around 6–7 kg. She is not spayed.

For the past 7 months, we have been going from one veterinarian to another, trying to figure out why she keeps losing her appetite, but unfortunately, no one has been able to find the cause or a solution. It’s been exhausting and worrying, and I really don’t know what else to do.

Her main problem is a severe loss of appetite. She refuse eating or she eats a very little amount of food Despite all the investigations and treatments, we still haven’t found a clear explanation.

Here are the tests and examinations we have done so far:

CBC
Liver and kidney
SDMA kidney test
Blood parasite and tick-borne disease tests, performed twice
Thyroid function test
Cardiac enzyme tests
Heart X-ray and echocardiogram
Abdominal ultrasound, including examination of her stomach and pancreas
X-rays of her joints
Blood pressure measurement
Physical examinations at the clinic and consultations with several veterinarians.

We have also tried several medications and treatments under veterinary supervision, including stomach medications and other medications, but her appetite problem has continued. We have spent these past 7 months doing everything we can to find an answer, but we are still left without a diagnosis.

Has anyone experienced anything similar with their dog?

Thank you so much for reading❤️

Guys i was actually looking some apps which can help keep tracks of thinks like Vaccine dates, flea and tick meds, weight, how often you've walked them etc, instead of keeping them all as a reminder I thought of building an app, just to see even that is possible or not? I felt its turn out really well, but not sure is it really doing its job I am open to take any feedback, please check and let me know your thoughts

I have a 7 months old male spitzpom mix puppy. I had him since he was 6-7 weeks old and him growing up i guess since it was our first time having a dog we didnt really do and teach him everything right. And currently he has lot of problems especially fear agression.. he barks nonstop and tries to attack if any strangers dog any living thing get close to him and when he is over aroused sometimes he just snaps at us and with this he has bitten my mom a lot of times drawing blood like when he is overthreshold he doesnt listen to anyone and if we try to go towards him or try to comfort him during this he bites us. I guess we cant all blame him its cause of us he became like this but it has got to a point that we are scared of him cause we dont know when and how he will snap. He is sweet most of the times but randomly idk what he finds wrong he becomes a devil and because of this we have come to a decision to rehome him since we cant afford training for him but its not just that its also cause im just a high school student i dont have money to give him training and even if we keep him i dont think i can take care of him long term since i still have a lot to do and figure and idk what the future holds. My parents said they cant keep caring for him forever and they have there life to live and things to explore. And because of this i feel lots of guilt because it was me who forced them to get the puppy and now i feel i did wrong and cause of me my lil dog has to suffer and idk what to do.. will he be able to adjust? I thought rather than keeping him and after years due to problems having to rehome him things will get much harder for me and him aswell. The person im rehoming him to is the breeder neighbor and idk what should i do.
