My golden doodle has had this "pimple" in the corner of his right eye for 4 weeks now. I've tried putting warm compress for a few days and it doesn't seem to be getting smaller or bigger. What is this? Any treatment? Should I bring him to the vet?
What’s the difference between a dirt absorbing dog mat and a bathroom mat from IKEA? Exept for the dog mat to be water proof. Why pay more than dubble for the dog mat?
Pictures for reference the one with the corner folded is a dog mat and the other a bath mat from IKEA.
Unfortunately the market is filled with companies that are not afraid to portray their products are way higher quality than they really are, have poor customer service, and apparently Wuffes (Hip & Joint Chews for Small & Medium Breeds) seems to fall in that category.
I bought the supplement to help a senior dog who is dealing with joint pain. Not only did the product not perform as advertised, gave my dog bad skin reactions, but the company totally sucked on customer support and standing behind their product!
When I emailed them to ask to return unopened bottles of their product due to the lack of improvement on the dog and adverse skin reactions caused by their product, I explained all the details as to why I had canceled my subscription. What’s funny is they didn’t even read the email but replied back asking questions I had addressed on my original email to them (explaining the lack of improvements and adverse skin reactions on the dog), but had the nerve to refuse the return, offered me the opportunity to sell me more of their other products or a 35% refund on my latest purchase.
This totally made me feel like Wuffes is not a company that stands behind their products nor a company that cares about their customers. I will certainly not buy any other products from them!
I’m planning to get a dog next spring after I graduate college, and I really want to do it right this time.
When I was 16, I adopted a shelter dog (she was a pit mix) and brought her home. She turned out to have leash aggression, and I honestly didn’t know how to handle it. I couldn’t take her on walks, and I felt completely overwhelmed. I loved her, but I felt like I was failing her.
Thankfully, she ended up getting adopted into a better situation and from what I know she has a great life now, which I’m really grateful for.
Now I’m in my late 20s, I have a child, and I currently live at home with my mom, who is 70. I want a dog as a companion for both my son and I, but also one that fits well into our home environment.
I’m being very cautious this time because I don’t ever want to be in a situation like that again.
Here’s where I’m stuck:
• I thought about getting a puppy from a breeder so I could raise it myself, but since I live at home, my mom doesn’t want a puppy in the house.
• I don’t really want a senior dog.
• A lot of the dogs in shelters near me are pit mixes, and while I’m not against any breed, I am a first-time (realistically) dog owner and I want to make the right choice.
I’m looking for:
• Success stories from people who adopted shelter dogs (especially pit mixes)
• Advice on picking the right dog for a beginner
• How to avoid behavioral issues like leash aggression
• What I should be doing over the next year to prepare
• How much I should realistically save in advance
• Any training classes, programs, or books you’d recommend
I’m planning this a full year in advance because I really don’t want to mess it up again. I just want to give a dog a good life this time.
Thank you ❤️
