I will likely be testing out a new vet for my next dog.
I would/will ask about their recommended vaccine schedule (I won't stand for yearly) and how they feel on titering. What age they recommend...

Take note of the office hours and, if you don't have an emergency hospital nearby, ask if there's a vet on call for when the office is closed.
Does someone stay in the building overnight if any...
As I said, we have been using Trifexis for years now. Our current Vet - who is also the breeder of two of our four Labradors - is the second Vet to have suggested it due to the fact that our fleas...
We are currently using Heartgard Plus and Nexgard. Last month was our first dose of Nexgard in a 13 mo and a 19 mo lab.
A few comments on the observations found on a board such as this. And...
Maverick had "puppy pyoderma" when we got him. It flares up every now and then but doesn't bother him. We were told it was like doggy acne. It sounds similar to what your guy has.
Just in case you ever need to use Benadryl, the dosage is one (1) mg per pound.
We have had our dogs on Trifexis for three years now. It is the ONLY flea medication that works in our area as the fleas have become resistant to the preventatives. Ours had lost nearly all their...
Maybe Neosporin Pain; it has a topical pain/itch relief in it. Again, it could be licked off.
How about putting on a T-shirt to keep him from scratching and licking.
When Chloe was a puppy she had something similar - we think she might have laid on an ant hill, although her bites didn’t seem that itchy. The vet did give us a cream but I can’t remember what it...
Vinegar. It will sting if the bites are scraped open. But it won't hurt him to swallow some vinegar. Probably will have to be repeated often. Check him with a flea comb too, might be flea bites?
I don't know of any cream or ointment you can put on them that won't get licked off before it could do any good. You could probably try some benadryl if you think it's bothering him that much. I...
The person who could give you a definitive # should do some betting in Las Vegas! :)
I'd say add 10-20# to what his weight is now at 7 months.
Mine have usually leveled out and stayed consistent between 12-18 months old.
Gabby's came out fast and easy, but she had that last one that just hung around longer than the rest. We worried, but it eventually did come out. She also had a molar that never came in on the top.
give him time. Is it turning grey? If so its dead and should come out soon. Chewing on bones and playing tug should help.
Get him a rope toy and play tug.
Theo had one baby tooth (lower right canine) that was slow to fall out. When his adult tooth came in, it was pointing a little more medially than it should have. The only concern that I had was if it...
Mocha was 7 months old & still had a baby upper canine. His big boy tooth came in around it. When we had him neutered the vet took out the baby tooth while he was out for that. No issues.
Have no direct experience but have heard of it only one other time. The recommendation then was to wait a month or two and it did not come out on it's own, to have it pulled.
It happens. Normally they tend to work themselves out but no real harm in having the vet remove it imo. It MAY cause a problem if you were showing him though if someone made an issue of it. I...
One thing I like about our vet's practice is that if my dogs need to stay overnight after surgery for whatever reason, they are staffed overnight with a vet tech to keep the animals under...
Cooking makes bones brittle and more likely to splinter, thus more dangerous.

So what happened to the good old days. You pet dogs, maybe you got a nip & your Mom would tell you it's your own damn fault.
I appreciate it when people ask & think it is sweet when they do.

Oh my gosh - I could not keep Barley from being pet if I tried - and honestly - nor would I want to. He LOVES to be loved - and people love him so. Moby - now that he is a bit older - does not really...
On the advice of a long-time breeder, we use a solution of 1/2 white vinegar and 1/2 water.
