My dog is 10 months and extremely social and high energy. I have an awesome daycare near my office that is same cost as a once a day 30 minute dog walker so I prefer daycare where she’s not stuck in crate the whole day and she is exhausted when we ge
I would take your cue from her. If she seems to enjoy daycare and is more relaxed and happy in the evenings when she's been there, then I don't see any problem with taking her four days a week if you want to. When I was in veterinary school, my own dog (a young Sheltie) went to doggy daycare five days a week while I was on clinical rotations my senior year. It was a great arrangement for him :)

My Buddy had a puppy trim at pet smart. They did a magnificent job, he looked astonishing! Now this was done April 30. The service includes: oxigen infused bath with a tangerine shampoo, blow dry, up to 15 minutes brushing, sanitary trim, nail trim,
I'm glad you are so pleased with Buddy's grooming! Yes, you can take him into them sooner if he needs a trim with his eyebrows, beard, and nails, but he may not need all the services offered. You can just request having those three things done. I hope this helps :-)

We are currently residing in china. The vets here have two different ways of spaying, one the dog is kept for 4 days the other the dog goes home same day. I'm guessing they have different procedures... Which would be the right one?
I don't know much about how they spay dogs in China, but I can't say I have ever heard of a dog requiring a four day hospital stay after this procedure. Here in the USA, most dogs will either go home the same day or the day after the procedure. Although a spay is an intra-abdominal procedure were an organ is removed, they tend to wake up well and not particularly painful. Unless they are using some method in China that is far more involved, I would think that the same day method is more in line with realistic.

My dad and I used to live together with Sadie, well last Friday my dad died of cancer, Sadie has not really been eating, a bowl maybe two a day, doesn’t play and just sits outside his door and cries. What can I do to get her to understand? It breaks
Hi there and thank you for using Boop by Petco to address your concern. I am so sorry to hear of the loss of your father. I am sure it is very difficult to be going through this. Dogs are emotional and can become distressed / sad when a loved one passes away. Unfortunately, it just takes time. There are some things you can try to help ease the stress for Sadie. I would recommend the below products and see if these help. I would also take her out more for walks and socialize her and consider taking her to the dog park as well to interact with other dogs. 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. 1. Adaptil collar 2. NaturVet Quiet Moments Calm Chews with Melatonin 3. Plenty of toys to play with

Iam an engineer student my time is very limited now because i have midterms soni cant walk soska every day am i a bad owner now ;( and what is the replacement if i cant walk her. Note: she lives in the roof and it is very large more than 200 meter sq
Soska is a beautiful dog! Young dogs (and breeds like German shepherds) do tend to require more exercise so if you don't have time to walk Soska daily you can try to take her out to play ball or fetch daily. This will help give her exercise and mental stimulation but won't be as time consuming as a walk. You can also see if there are any dog walkers or doggy day cares in your area to help give Soska more exercise a few times a week. Thanks for using Boop by Petco! Best of luck to you and and Soska!
