I would purchase a large plastic crate. They are darker inside and harder to chew up. Dogs like a den area if they are going to be confined. Put some toys in when you leave and a chew toy so she’ll have something to do when you leave. Also playing the radio on a classical station is relaxing. When you are home leave the crate open and feed treats inside to get her used to going in and out. My dogs sleep in the crate even when I’m home, it’s their safe place. You may want to purchase an anti anxiety medication like Solliquin. This is a natural supplement to help dogs be less anxious. If that doesn’t work please get a prescription from your veterinarian. Usually once dogs get into the daily routine they relax and are fine. Thanks for using Boop by Petco to help you care for Mia.

That's cool that the recovery suit will work for her then. The cost of crates vary by location, so I would check costs in pet stores, as well as checking online sites that resell things (like Ebay if you have that in Bosnia & Herzegovina). You may be able to buy one second hand. Yes, she can eat her regular food :-)

Hi there and thank you for using pet coach! I would say a medium crate would be best. This will give him plenty of room inside the crate to move around freely. You want the size of crate that allows him with a lot of free space to move around in. I hope this helps guide you in the right direction.

I would recommend getting a different cage or one that requires two fingers to engage a spring. Dogs are unable to open the cages that have the springs in my experience. These are similar to cat carriers that have the spring loaded mechanism on the door. I hope this helps! Please let me know if you have any other questions or concerns and I would be more than happy to help you further.

It seems she might need a small kennel. There should only be enough room for her to stand up and turn a complete circle. Any other room then they tend to soil in one area and lay in another so they do not get dirty. Puppies tend to get distracted easily and may find playing and exploring outside more important than going to the bathroom. I would start taking her out on leash and staying close by you reward her with treats as she goes in the correct place.
