We bought our puppy home last Friday. Although he has settled really well I am having huge problems at night I have tried putting him in his crate and sitting down with the door open Letting him sleep on the chair with me then placing him on the crate and leaving the door open Last night was the first time I actually made it into bed before he cries I kept this up going down to him reassuring him and going back to bed this went on for 3 hours eventually he slept on the chair and I slept...

Hi everyone, I really hope nobody reading this needs this thread. Earlier this year our 9-year-old Labrador, Miah, started showing some subtle changes that, at the time, we completely misread. Looking back now, hindsight is an incredible thing. She was occasionally losing her balance when turning quickly. She seemed just a little clumsier. Sometimes she would drag a toe. Nothing dramatic. We genuinely thought we simply had an older Labrador who was slowing down. We were wrong.... Miah's Brain Tumour Journey (Suspected Meningioma) – Diagnosis, Radiotherapy & Recovery

Looking for the right home for our 5-year-old Labrador This is quite a difficult post for me to write, but I’m hoping that amongst people who genuinely understand Labradors we might find the right person for our boy. He’s five years old, beautiful, full of character and enormously enthusiastic about life. We love him, but I’ve gradually had to accept that our family circumstances aren’t the right fit for the dog he actually is. When we got him as a puppy, I underestimated just how much...

Unsurprisingly our pup has chewed his crate bed to bits! Anyone got any cheap suggestions for comfortable living rather than buying a new one?

Fred, 3 years old in a week, has a tough time dealing with human grade food. We have been trying to find a diet for while, for him to enjoy without having diarrhea, etc. One item is pork loin. He loves it, but it doesnt work well with him Ground Turkey, Chicken ( breast and thighs) he is good with Steak, hit or miss. We did this every Sunday due to his older brother needing quality of life ( RIP) a few months ago. What foods have you found that work well with their sensitive stomachs?...

My beautiful 18 month old fox red lab Toby has just been diagnosed with a high grade Mast cell tumour on the inside of his ear.He had a needle aspiration followed by referral to a specialist. They did a biopsy of the lump and needle aspirations of his liver and spleen. The results came back yesterday of a high grade malignant Mast cell tumour.No evidence of spread so far. We go back to the specialist on 20/5 to talk about a treatment plan which will almost... Mast cell tumour diagnosis

I found this wonderful forum while trying to research my problem with my 5 month old black lab, “Chase”. Both myself and my husband are retired so our pup has 100% of our attention. He’s been easy to train so far except for issues of over-excitement resulting in jumping, biting and humping me all at the same time; but only on me. My husband doesn’t experience this behavior. I have the majority of contact with him, feeding, training, grooming, “business” trips outside in the middle of the... Hi to all. I’m new and this is my first post.
