How old is he? I’d definitely see the vet. Chances are it is just an infected hair follicle, but they can get mast cell tumors down there. A couple years ago, I noticed a similar bump on Tux in...
I get those at my house every year. If you look you can probably find it's nest, they build them in the ground and they look like giant ant nests with the dirt all dug around like how an ant nest...
This is what recently popped up that is bothering Tux, his right elbow. He'll be 11 next month. I noticed towards the end of our walk a few weeks ago he mid-stride on flat ground started limping...
Tux does well on Rimadyl, he's only been on it a few times for short courses related to something specific going on at the time. Once I tried to give him Previcoxx and after just a couple doses he...
Cabo tested positive for it years ago. He happened to be due for his yearly SNAP test shortly after I pulled a tick off him, so I don't think he was positive long enough to show symptoms prior to...
My three labs who are now all nine years old have been on 100% prey model raw diet since they were three years old. My 6.5 month old WPG has been on raw since about 3 months old. I am a huge...
Tux is nine, he has one fatty tumor I found a few years ago that was super simple to aspirate, and came back fine. About a year and a half ago I noticed a small hard bump on his right ear flap. I...
My WPG puppy (Chi) is the first puppy I’ve had in nine years, since Tux. And Tux was an exceptionally easy puppy. With Chi, the sleeping through the night just took time. She was right at eight...
If he has prey drive and likes to use his nose, I would very much suggest looking into Barn Hunt. It's a very easy sport to train for if you are new to dog sports. In my opinion it's also easier...
Canine Dysautonomia? A couple summers ago my family lost two young dogs to this. It has a higher incidence in the midwest, and is something that a lot of vets are not familiar with and the ones...
Pineapple is my absolute favorite. I usually order pineapple and onion.
I had a lab puppy while working full time and being gone from the house 10 hours a day, plus being single with no one else to help. It is doable but time consuming and costly. The first year, I...
Mine get excited for their Heartguard as well. I think it is beef flavoring.
Any dog can react to anything, and one of my biggest issues with Bravecto is that it is supposed to stay in the system for three months. So if your dog does have a reaction, it is to something that...
This became a talking point on my local raw feeding facebook group. It was mentioned that cattle are not likely to be put down with phenobarbital, they are usually dispatched with a bolt or bullet...
Tux is a certified therapy dog. I got him as a puppy, and we do therapy work simply b/c I noticed how much he absolutely loves people. The few times we went to a dog park he chose to socialize with...
I get to work from home one day a week, which I mainly enjoy b/c I get to be home with my dogs. Also if weather is bad or something no question I work from home. I get to make my own hours as long...
We had an ice storm over the weekend, I used the Pet Safe ice melt on my back patio and it worked wonderfully keeping things melted.
I've trained Tux to find antler sheds. We had already been doing nosework and barn hunt for a couple years so he caught on quick. It is pretty easy to do IMO even if your dog has never done...
Tux is super itchy in the winter time, and flakey. I can relate, I am also super itchy in the winter time. We do have humidifiers but I have no idea what the actual humidity in our house is. He is...
I'm so sorry for your loss. When you mentioned not wanting to go home b/c you know he's not there to greet you, that really struck me. I think that is how I will be when I lose Tux, who is my first...
Is Hunter a purebred lab, or a lab mix? My first thought was that if he is mixed with something maybe there is some sort of herding dog in his DNA. In which case, it is very normal for a herding...
Definitely this. It is pretty rare for us to have highs that are in the single digits or even teens where I live. So on days like that, we do just skip walks. But I know in Canada and other parts...
Tux eats pills like candy too. It is so weird. He gets a number of supplements in pill form, and I just pop them in his mouth and he chews and swallows.
