My husbands dog has always been a mischievous girl. I took over the job of taking care of her since we started dating but today made me panic so much i threw up. She has a long blue leash with metal inside but it was covered in plastic. Like usual i go to feed her, (shes an outside doggie) once i opened the door to her yard i found her leash wrapped around her body. She was hanging, not by her neck but under her arms. The leash was somhow wrapped around her and the wiring came undone as she tried untagling herself. The wiring, ended up getting lodged in the hook so it was impossible to unhook ..read more

My two cats have fleas. We noticed them a month ago, bathed one (my second cat has trauma and I'm scared to bathe him, but I'm going to try tomorrow) We gave them a capstar pill & topical treatment, washed the sheets, blankets etc. and sprayed with a flea killing spray. However, we keep finding a flea or two on them once every few days. I don't know how we could flea bomb because my husband works from home and my house is full of reptiles, so what other solutions could we do? How can we fix this? submitted by /u/evanamyl [visit reddit] [comments ..read more

I've been pondering lately about what to feed my pet fish. I've had this little guy for a while now, and I want to make sure I'm giving him the best grub possible. I mean, fish food options these days are wild - pellets, flakes, freeze-dried, live food, you name it. But what's the real deal? What's gonna keep my finned friend happy and healthy? I've heard some people swear by live food like bloodworms or brine shrimp, saying it's like a gourmet meal for fish. Others stick to the classic flakes, claiming it's got all the nutrients packed in. And then there are those who go all out with homemad ..read more

Last night, my cat suddenly attacked me bc I was running upstairs. She just recently gave birth, about 3 weeks ago, and she gave me a few scratch and bite lst night. Im kinda worried bc I was experiencing pain in the area that is scratched.My cat has been vaccinated for antirabies but it was a long time ago. My initial plan is to observe her, if she ever gets weak, I would go to a clinic and have an antirabies vaccine. What do you guys think? Any insights will help. submitted by /u/edmi_uwu [visit reddit] [comments ..read more

The other night after giving my cat her dinner, instead of eating it she came back into the living room and meowed at me intently until I followed her to her litter box, where she promptly pooped right outside of it. Since that day, she's been having frequent diarrhea all over the house. There's been hair in it so for a minute we thought it was related to that, but are starting to think it's something else. Today when we went to feed her she gave us a few very distressed meows and pooped right there on the ground next to her food, which was pretty concerning to watch. We're considering just t ..read more

I'm sitting here wondering how many of you out there have pets. Let's get real cozy and chat about our furry, scaly, or feathered friends. I'll kick things off – I've got this goofy golden retriever named Max who thinks he's a lap dog, even though he's the size of a small bear. He's always stealing socks and begging for belly rubs. But man, he's got a heart of gold. Tell me about your pets! Are you a cat person, a dog lover, or maybe you've got something a little more exotic? Share your stories, quirks, and even pet pics if you're feeling generous. Let's turn this thread into a virtual pet pa ..read more

What are you all using to carry your pet(s) through the airport? And i don’t mean the carrier. I’ve bought an airline approved carrier and believe I’ve got that situation sorted but the issue I’m having now is wondering how I’m going to carry her in the bag throughout the airport? Also, i didn’t buy the carrier with the wheels because i was afraid of height issues. submitted by /u/Significant-Row202 [visit reddit] [comments ..read more

I have just seen a post on here about how untrained peoples dogs are and it really irks me when dogs dont have basic respect or manners.

No hate I'm genuinely just trying to be helpful lol but PLEA ..read more
