He isn't as smelly today after I cleaned his ears thoroughly and washed his face/neck really well. I'm wondering if he got into something as well? We live in a gate community type of area but there are plenty of little critters running around. Hm... He didn't smell like dead animal just like...

So cute! :D Looks like everyone had a blast!

Recently our puppy's ears started to smell, and smell BAD. They smell like he's been rolling around in something. I can't pinpoint the smell. We've checked both ears and there isn't any discharge, bleeding, oozing, sores/scabbing, etc. He doesn't appear to have an ear infection BUT we are...

I'm so terribly sorry for your loss. Losing a fur-baby is (in my opinion) one of the hardest things to do. We lost Cazic, our first doxie who was a shaded red LH standard, to a terrible disease. He had to be put down because his entire body was in complete failure. We tried everything to...

Thanks! :D I'll check into the chicken bones and more into bully sticks. I've heard about broken teeth from almost everyone with antlers. :/

I didn't keep his teeth, or I would have taken pictures. If I find another, I will. :) I've found four. He is our second doxie. He's pretty small at only 6 pounds. Our vet said it's a temperament thing for him. He will chew on something when his teeth are even a teeny bit wiggly and then...

I did that too until I found one that was covered in dirt, hair, and gross black stuff from being all wet and sitting in the bottom. I was traumatized by that store. I think it's closing finally. I found a new bulk buy yesterday at a new local pet store, so hoping for better results. MUCH...

(sigh) Yosuke hit the enter button before I finished. LOL ...organic carrots that are locally grown. I just wanted another option. I don't want to give him carrots all the time. heh.

We had a bulk buy area at a local pet store, but recently I found out they had lax rules with dogs pre-chewing/carrying the bones around. They would put them back in the bin and thought it was okay! ick.. Needless to say I'm searching for a better one now. :) Our current training treats are...

I'm just now realizing how TERRIBLE so many treats and chewie bones are for dogs. I never realized that rawhides were so bad. I've heard some really bad stories lately about rawhide. What natural treats and chewies does everyone like? I'm so skeptical of brands that say "natural" or...

Oh no! Hang in there little Gizmo and you/your family too!! My first doxie had seizures. His were side effects from his IMT (immune mediated thrombocytopenia) which is genetic. There are other forms of the disease that are not genetic, but it is a pretty rare disease. I don't think this is...

Yosuke's teeth have been shedding quite a bit lately. I've found three this week! He would make some serious cash with the tooth fairy if she would visit dogs. ;) Anyways, I've been giving him busy bones to chew on when he is super chewy because they have a soft center and a medium hard...

super cute!! She must have known you were taking pictures. lol

Yosuke does the same thing! He goes crazy when I walk in with a new toy, treat or bag of food. No matter how much I try to hide it, he always knows. lol

Yeah, if they get too bad there isn't much you can do but to trim them off. :) Healthier for their skin that way but not prettier! lol We "treated" his mats up to three times a week with the conditioner sometimes. He also had very dry skin so the vet recommended the treatments initially...

awww! :( Mats are no fun. Our first doxie LOVED to roll around all the time so he would mat so easily. We kept certain areas that matted the worst trimmed to prevent it as much as possible. When he did get mats, I would get teeny bit of leave in conditioner for dogs or (organic leave in...

Give her a couple toys to play with that she can't chew apart (stuffing-less toys are my puppies favs to play with) and something to snuggle on/with like a blanket or bed. It really helped with our puppy when he whined all the time. At 9 weeks old we were only leaving him for 3-4 hours max...

I agree. Our dachshund sleeps with us too and we have only been woken up for "emergency" potty breaks at night. Maybe try that or put him in the same room with you (if he isn't already). They are extremely loyal like crystal said so I recommend keeping him with you. Our puppy is only 4 mo...

Here we go. :) 1. What do I do for a living? I work for Tradehome Shoes as a store manager. I sell shoes for a living and love every second of it. :D 2. How long have we been owned by our doxie? I've been owned Yosuke for only 2 months. Our previous doxie owned us for three years...

I LOVE pet stores that have those. I do make sure to purchase the treats located in the bottom of the bins though. Less hands and mouths have touched them. lol
