Welcome to HA! Antonella!! And thanks for making your first post. Yes to everything Ginny said. Did his BEAM drop when he started developing the spots? If you're new to the BEAM Blueprint then a great place to start is the HA! 101 course. Great detox...

Hi Jul! Wow, great job with Finnick! I am so glad that he's interacting with the new puppy. That's a great sign of his trying his best to be a balanced dog (through play). I agree with Dr. Christina about the nail. Keep the area clean-ish (warm water, peroxide, socks, etc.) and hope that the...

Thanks so much for sharing, Cindy!

Not usually. It's a good idea to monitor a young dog whenever he's chewing something that can get stuck in his mouth (as sticks occasionally do) or in the rare case that he starts choking. Just as you would do with a toddler. Yes, all of the talks in the HA! archives by trainers like Sarah...

Oh, and here are some of the resources on the forum: https://www.holisticactions.com/forum/search/328793/?q=puppy&o=relevance

Yes! In fact we have a report dedicated to housebreaking: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1_yN8gQZJjXtU6fXRbmAXKm3yOx02K22l/view?usp=sharing

Thanks for rescuing Smudge, Catherine! It sounds like he's one lucky, and happy fella. Yay for already having had an animal communicator connect to find out more about his backstory and what he likes the most. Maya loves her Bark Box toys. They get delivered every month and our big, young...

Yes, Daysha. As you can probably imagine, I too am moving away to Solutions food (fermented), Small Batch poultry (the chicken, turkey and duck is HPP'd), etc.

Hi Kai! I'm sorry for the slow reply. Wow, I'm so sorry to hear that Remy was diagnosed with arthritis at such a young age! It sounds like you're already doing everything right. There are absolutely other great things to do for him to have the best life possible. Many of them are discussed...

Great question! Yes, BEAM is usually the only biomarker that is helpful or needed in young pups. https://happyhealthydog.org/2025/11/03/the-most-accurate-wearable-for-your-dog-is-free-and-your-pet-already-has-it/ Below BEAM and BM but still useful info (like the biomarkers from my Oura ring)...

Sure, or start even lower...

Wow, what a lucky puppy that you are considering all these cool tools to use with him (except #6). re-1- these are usually two different products... 2-? 3. This the one Maya uses: https://www.tractorsupply.com/tsc/product/retriever-2-door-dog-wire-crate-1294899 And they have other styles...

See below. Is there any food that he loves? He will have the best health span when you focus everything on his purring and happiness. With everything, not just food. Does he like a particular game, being petted and snuggled, or maybe he likes just having you gaze at him lovingly while you...

Less is more, so perhaps just start with a few crumbs from one of the pills. What's his weight?

Yay! That's the best news!! :snowman: :snowman: 😻 Physical improvement often follows behavior improvement and happiness.
