Hey, I have a dog, he is a blue nose pit bull, and we gave him a huge bone but now he doesn’t even chew it he just guards it and when someone gets close he growls and walks away with it. My dad thinks he is just old and can’t chew it but his jaws are
Thanks for using Boop by Petco! Five is not old. It sounds like he is being protective of the bone and he is walking away with it because he doesn’t want anyone to take it. Since he is being aggressive about it, I would recommend finding a way to get the bone away from him and not giving it back. If he cannot play with his toys in a safe manner then he cannot have them. I am afraid the behavior could get worse. Good luck and kisses to Dartos!

My dog showed extreme signs of aggression when we tried to get close to him while he had his Nylor dog bone. His teeth came out with vicious growling to the point he frightened us.
Thanks for using Boop by Petco! This is of course unacceptable behavior and it is called food aggression. This is usually corrected with appropriate training. I would highly recommend you consider reaching out to a dog trainer who can work with you in person to correct this. Best of luck!

Hello, My dog finds bones outside while going for walks. Initially i try my hardest to get the bones out of his mouth and he growls very aggressively. If i am unsuccessful, i hate to say it but i have to hit him and it makes him more angry. He does n
Thanks for using Boop by Petco! Unfortunately, this is a tough one. My two thoughts are: trades and avoidance. Trades Carry a really desirable treat (whatever he loves) with you on the walk. Give the command “sit” and give him the treat. Do this occasionally throughout the walk. Then, if you come to the bone, immediately tell him to sit and offer the treat. Hopefully he thinks it’s preferable to the bone and drops it. Avoidance If possible, can we go a different route? Stick to sidewalks where you can see things more easily? Or consider a comfort fit basket muzzle for walks that doesn’t allow him to eat anything. There are cute shapes or you can decorate and bedazzle them to make them look less scary. Best wishes to you and Blanco!

Why dogs likes to hide bones?
Thanks for using Boop by Petco! I think part of it is truly because they find it fun. They also like them as they find them tasty though it is not recommended to give them bones as they can choke on them or they can even result in a gastrointestinal obstrcution. Good luck and have a good night!

I give my dog esme areal bone yesterday last night she kept walking round, unsettled, and seemed to be uncomfortable when lying down and kept getting back up, she, s off her food today but is drinking water and has been the toilet this morning
Continue to monitor for lethargy, vomiting, diarrhea, loss of appetite or abdominal pain. If there is minor stomach upset (by your description, she may be nauseous), you can withhold food for 12-24 hours. Allow small amounts of water or unflavored PediaLyte. Resume feeding a bland diet in small, frequent amounts until symptoms resolve. If symptoms persist or worsen, then an exam with your veterinarian would be recommended.
