@Dr. Jeff and all, Cooper is not peeing this morning. He pooped right away. He did zoomies like crazy, then I put the leash on to take him to his pee pad and he must have pulled in a way that made him choke for a bit. That stopped after about 15-30 seconds. He took a few traning treats earlier...

Hi all, Any thoughts on the inpact of grooming on dogs? It seems quite stressful to Cooper even though it appears the groomer is compassionate. We don't get to see everything they do to Cooper. What can be done to help them get through it? @Dr. Jeff gave us a remidy for Cooper recently, and he...

Hi @Dr. Jeff, @Dr. Christina @Dr. Jean Hofve, I know there's a lyme disease course but I can not read too much these days... I'm still not clear on tick (flea) prevention. We've used Tick Hex by Peter Dobias for years. The bottle says 'weekly." We used it almost daily. Is that too much? I...

@Dr. Jeff @Dr. Christina can you guide me to something to soothe Cooper's digestion? He woke shaking some and then eventually loose stools, even some indoors after I had him out. He def seems off today even though he isn't fully potty trained.

@Dr. Jean Hofve, @Dr. Jeff Hi all, Just double checking if 12.5 less drowsy dramamine is correct two hrs before the trip. Also, will it still be working in his system three or so hrs later for the ride home? Also, we also have Cocculus homeopatic remidy and accupressure, which helps...

@Dr. Jeff and @Dr. Christina, Cooper is now nine months old. He is doing well in many ways, but I have a few concerns regarding his behavior and physical health. Lately, he has been struggling to sleep during the day due to separation anxiety and follows me constantly. Additionally, he is a...

Hello, @Dr. Jeff and @Dr. Christina and @Dr. Jean Hofve, We'd love to keep Cooper's teeth/gums as healthy and white as possible. He chews rawehide, 20 min., twice a day. Any thoughts on this for when he is not chewing rawhide? We haven't been sucessful (yet) at a real bone bc of the mess...

@Dr. Jeff and @Dr. Christina, Cooper moans multiple times per day. Sometimes it's as he's just completed lying down and other times, while he's already lying down. He can either be sleeping or not. We wonder if there may be some stomach/digestive thing (blockage?) or maybe there's pain...

@Dr. Christina and @Dr. Jeff and @aruna, I saw the first aid kit info from a couple of yrs ago that Aruna posted. We had a kit and gave it all away thinking it would be a long time bf we considered a new up...HA! No pun intended:) Now that we have a new puppy, we want to be sure we're not...

Meals for Cooper continues to be a strain. He's very picky. So far, he likes the most expensive meat (venision and lamb) w/o anythingelse added. Getting Fenbendazol into him for Giardia has been a struggle. We wonder if the meds or Giardia may be supressing his appetite. Today is the last day...

Cooper isn't food-motivated making it difficult to train him. We do have smelly treats and he likes them at first, but quickly becomes uninterested. It seems that he likes the foods we we've been giving him at first, but then loses interest. The past two meals, he will eat cooked chicken w/...

@Dr. Christina and @Dr. Jeff, If we use this ONLY on Cooper's harness do you think it would be okay an 1 hr or so a day? Or do you have any other suggestions? PS- He pulls A LOT while we try to walk but only wants to run. Unfortunately, we can not run! So until we can train him to heal, we're...

@Dr. Jeff and/or @Dr. Christina, Any suggestions on the type of fresh, raw bone we can buy that won't end up being messy on Cooper's paws and on our floors?

@Dr. Jeff and @Dr. Christina Any suggestions on a clean rawhide? The extra big benefit would be if the animals are raised with dignity.

@Dr. Jeff you had mentioned that perhaps we did not have to treat the Giardia (if it still came back in stool as positive) after treating Coccidia with Albon for two weeks. What can we do instead? I was trying to get a sence of how much Giardia but the front desk didn't know. Should I persist?

Hello all, 1. puppy cam w/gps? 2. word puzzels? 3. garage door style crate? 4. puppy stairs for couch and bed (hoping to have guard rails of some sort? 5. DNA test? 6. Wondercide flea & tick spray? 7. Pet Pace Health tracker (was on our call way back with the inventor) Anyone have sucess...

Hi! I could use suggestions on training Cooper to go potty on our deck. Currently, we take him on a walk once a day in the afternoon but it's stressful bc he pulls non-stop. Are there training programs you'd recommend? I see so many on line. We don't seem to have a local trainer here for...

Isn't this a long time to be treating with this antiparasitic? Perhaps I can do something more holisitc after a week or two? Then there's Giardia to tackle after this. The vet mentioned that we can test stools again after the Coccidia treament has been completed. What approach would you...

Hello everyone! We got a new puppy on January 3rd. He's a Havanese/Poodle mix. He's got long red hair and is an absolute delight. He needs some training to keep him safe and us sane. I will add a photo when I can. We got him from a shelter where he had been rescued from a breeder hoarding...

Hello again! Great to be back with our new pup! Can I get the discount code to speak with a vet please? Thank you:)
