Sometimes, my dog plays with his brother (that lives in another house but sometimes he stays here). In the last 5 days they played too much in the rain and they were very wet. Every time that they have to separate, my dog becomes sad, tired and he se
If Snoopy has to stay outside it is a good idea to make sure he has the right enclosure that is safe from the rain, cold, and other weather conditions. An insulated dog house or kennel with a secure top can help ensure he stays safe and dry. If he currently has ticks, is ill from being wet for very long, or is otherwise acting unwell, it would be best to bring him to your vet so the tick can be removed and any underlying illnesses treated to help him feel better.

In October I adopted a 13 yr. old Silky Terrier who was rescued from a hoarding situation. She had been in a foster home for 11 mos. before I got her. She was very fearful and shaking a lot. She is now pretty relaxed. She liked to sniff around
I'm glad to hear Jill is doing so well. Dog's preferences can change with the weather or just due to their own reasons. As long as she doesn't;t seem anxious or fearful outside, I think it's probably fine. Many dogs, especially older ones, do sleep a lot! Make sure she is going outside to potty at least 4-5 times a day and watch her for any signs of illness. I hope this is helpful and please feel free to post any additional questions.

Hi there my dog is shivering last couple hours, still wants to eat, still wants to go for walk if I asked, her nose is cold and wet, but I can see something is not right. Should I be worried? Thank you
I am very sorry to hear that Amber is not herself, For the time being I would continue to monitor at home. She may be feeling slightly under the weather, and more signs are to follow soon. Or perhaps, something has simply frightened her and she will return to herself in a few hours. If you notice vomiting, diarrhea, inappetence or lethargy please post another question so that I may help you further. In the meantime, try to help Amber feel more secure by trying the following; I am very sorry that you are experiencing these issues with Amber. I will suggest a few tactics to help you both have some peace. The key is to helping Amber feel safe and secure at home, increasing exercise to help with stress and also increasing mental stimulation. Increased exercise especially a long afternoon or evening walk Chew toys Puzzle toys Interactive games like fetch and hide and go seek Leaving the TV, a fan or a White House generating machine on DAP- dog appeasing pheromone releasing diffusers

My Bichon Frise (almost 5 years old) is warm and subdued. Won't take a treat or drink water. It is now 1:15 p.m. and at 9:30 a.m. I took her for a walk and she did pee and have a bowel movement. No diarrhea. She just wants to lay around - even a
Hi, thanks for using Boop by Petco! Poor Mags! Can you take her temperature rectally? Anything 103 F or higher is a fever. Causes of a fever are: Lyme disease, immune conditions, infection (urinary, joint, lung) or pending GI upset. If she isn't better by the morning she should be seen by your Vet. I wish you the best!
