How can I get my dog to run with me. when we're both sprinting, she's faster than me at full sprint, so I know she's fast enough, but she cant keep a distance pace for long. Is it because she's out of shape (how do I fix this) or because she is trying to sniff every good god damned leaf, stick and Oak( tell me how to fix this). She's a rescued mutt, about 2 to 4 years old, and looks like a labrador/beagle mix(?). I'd like to take her along with me on my 5 and 7 mile jogs but she keepsslowing me down and breaking my rhythm. Any tips or tricks?

Thanks for the tips guys; guess I'll have to be patient with her.

The low tonight is 63°F, is that safe to let a Yorkie stay outside overnight? Covered porch available, but he likes to sit in the cover of a bush, despite the porch and soft bedding available.

Lol, I appreciate the replies. I live in the city and have a fenced in backyard, so coyotes aren't really an issue. I'm dog sitting, and the little bastard Luke's to pee everywhere, so at night, I figure I'll put him out.

I need help getting my dog to drink water. He had surgery Friday to remove a foreign body, because he very intelligently ate a rock and it got stuck and made him sick. They did the surgery and he started to do better, but would not drink water. I snuck water to him using wet food that I doused in chicken broth but still he needed up needing to go to the vet yesterday to get iv fluids. He was fine leaving the vet, jumping around and happy again, but slowly, started to lose that vigor again, and again, is refusing to drink. Doesn't want ice chips. Doesn't want chicken broth. Doesn't drink. Any other recommendations for hydrating up a sick dog? He's a 3 year old 60 pound poodle, so he needs like... 2 quarts of water a day. He's not even getting half that right now.

Joburg posted:Have you tried making your own broth? Take whatever meat you have and boil it for a while in a bunch of water, no need to add veggies or anything. Ground beef, chicken, whatever. The fats and cooking smells may make him more excited about it than canned broth. Boiling up some ground beef now. Hope this works

Ok, so... I made the ground beef water, and he did indeed have some after some coaxing. Which is good. But.. I'm a little worried it's too high in fat. Don't want to upset his stomach. At the same time don't want him dehydrated. Thoughts?

cat posts.txt posted:Random question for thread but are poodles actually hypoallergenic or just "less" allergenic? I ask because I've heard that dog saliva is actually the part people are allergic to (so like when a dog licks itself it Causes allergies) but I've also read that since poodles have hair instead of normal fur it causes less of that dander buildup? Not 100% sure about the answer, but I can impart that I have a standard poodle, and a labrador retriever, and I don't think I've EVER seen a single hair from the poodle (save for when I get after him with the clippers), whereas there are literal "tumbleweeds" of labrador fur round and about if we don't sweep daily. So.. I have to believe that factors in in someway to their (poodles) allergen production, compared to other dogs. The Bananana fucked around with this message at 13:50 on May 21, 2024 |
