First thing that comes to my mind is maybe he slipped on the stairs and is now skiddish. Are your stairs wood or carpeted? Wood can be slippery and hard for dogs to get any traction. I dunno. That's...

My dogs love to chew antlers. They will also chew Nylabones. These are the only things my dogs can't destroy in about 30 seconds.

So I think I'm going to hold off on a dental cleaning for Hershey. You can see pics of her teeth in my other thread. I'm going to see if I can make any progress on my own. She is very cooperative in...

I think it's just a matter of what you get used to. I never think about my dog's being particularly large or small until I see a dog that is either bigger or small than mine. Bigger than mine and I...

That's so awesome!

This past weekend DH and I were going to DH's dad's house. He lives near the river. Bo has not been swimming before (at least not since we've hd him) so we decided to see what he thought of the...

This pic is better. I would be interested to hear more about the non-anesthesia cleanings from someone who has actually had one done, as well. I also wonder how not having the cleaning done if the...

Sorry for the gigantic pics. It won't let me go back and edit them. Also, her gums aren't as red as they appear. The lighting is terrible. They are pink like they should be.

Here's the best I could do for pics. The pictures kind of make them look worse than they are, but perhaps a cleaning is in order and then regular brushing to hopefully keep ahead of things from here...

Thanks for the input. The problem is that I agree with all of it. On the one hand, Hershey's teeth are not totally terrible, and I'd like to avoid having the dental done and see where I can get with...

Good luck! I like the shirt. Good plan. My now husband had the ring tied around our lab's collar when he peoposed. It was awesome to have her involved.

The thing is, Hershey chews all the time. Way more than my last dog did and she had sparkly white teeth until her last days. I wonder if dogs are like people in that some are just more prone to teeth...

Hershey had her annual check up last week. Overall she's doing great. Vet said her weight looks great; said she's "lean and mean." He did say, however, that she is going to need her teeth cleaned. I...

Don't know anything about Labrador Quarterly. I subscribe to Just Labs. I like it.

My sister's dog had something similar looking last year. Except his was worse; on both sides of the mouth. Vet said he had likely rubbed the skin raw from chewing bones, etc and bacteria had gotten...

Oh and on the germ thing. I'm a little bit of a germ-a-phobe and neat freak myself. I always say that my dogs are the only thing that keeps me from going over to the dark side.

It's amazing that people think that way, but they do. I know someone who did just that. They had this dog that they adored and even had him be a part of their wedding. Then when baby #2 came along I...

No advice, but good for you for being willing to work with Daisy and for bringing in a trainer. Sounds like you're taking all the rights steps. Good luck!

Hershey has done this. I just keeps it clean and it heals fine. Kind of like how a blister would heal. I have purchased some paw wax at the pet store and put that on before to help protect it while...

Good luck! I'm going on 35 and we are just starting to talk about adding non-fur kids. Best wishes! I know what you mean, it's exciting and terrifying and a million other things all at the same...

I second the suggestion for Bold Lead Designs. I have several. Love them! I really find the skinnier width is most comfortable in my hands (3/8"). It says it's for smaller dogs, but I walk my crew...

I've been trying the trick challenges with Hershey, though I haven't been posting much. The spin we've got. The limp we are nowhere close to. This one Hershey can already do. She actually will...

Bo was diagnosed with Addison's Disease about a month ago. He was really lethargic, no interest in food, and was starting to lose some weight. Went to the vet and bloodwork showed his potassium and...
