yes I transported a dog today via taxi and the taxi driver said she wasn't allowed on the seat. I sat her on my lap and put my seatbelt around her.

Been trying to find an answer online but only seems to be directed at what it means for the taxi driver... Putting a dog in your car, there are rules about dog seatbelts and crates. When going in a taxi with a dog are you meant to provide these yourselves? Obviously the taxi driver doesn't...

she turned her nose up at a carrot. I've left it in her bowl just in case she gets hungry later.

Thanks for your thoughts. I don't want to push her too hard but I'm going to follow the advice of the owner and the vet and reduce her food intake and take her on longer walks. She does get tired but when she's off lead down the beach she really enjoys herself. Hopefully after 2 weeks she may...

I'm a dog boarder and have looked after a few labs that are overweight. Have one currently who was taken to the vet before coming here for a check up of vaccines etc and he was concerned. he apparently suggested a hydrotherapy pool and a treadmill. He always asked me to cut down her food intake...

I'm exhausted daily with all the walks I have to do as a dog walker/boarder. More people should hire them if your going to be away from your dogs

I'm boarding a French bull dog at the moment. He's adorable:) Thing is the owner told me that he gets a sensitive tummy and has had diarrhoea since he's been here. He's on special food for allergies as well. She told me to give him chicken and rice. Which I've started doing today and have taken...

They are suggesting polyarthritis. They are putting her on steroids.

One of my dog owner's this morning (I'm a dog walker) rung me to say that her dog has been taken to the vet. She's been kept overnight and has had to have blood tests. Apparently she woke up and the dog didn't want to move and she couldn't stand up. The day before she had been a walk with me in...

Yes I think they will have to continue taking her out when she asks to go and more times in between. It's always difficult at first but soon you will get a routine going that works for all of you. She will soon get bored of needing to go outside all the time. I'm sure walking will help with that.

Yes it definitely is but not a lot I can say about that.

They've all been big dogs. I dont think he feels threatened by little ones.

Thanks. He's a really good boy. I wouldn't want to give him up, as I love him. I love all my dogs but I have a soft spot for him as his owner works away on business a lot and he spends a large amount of time alone. He is so happy to see me always. I do feel that his owner does respect my...

I walk and dog sit for a 6 year old 'entire' golden retriever. In every other way he is a fabulous dog. He's very loving. Loves his walks, swimming in the sea. He's great with the other dogs I walk as well. It's just when it comes to meeting with other male dogs that are 'entire'... We've...

I am a dog walker/boarder and have been looking after my cavalier spaniel Oscar for 2 years since he was young. He is the loveliest dog. Amazing temperament. Has great recall. He does love to run. He runs miles, very athletic and yes he does like to chase birds. But he does come back when i call...

8 weeks is minimum. Yes would crate her in your room

She had no accidents last night.

She's just over 3 months. She's been picking up the toilet training really quickly. Her last walk is at 10pm where she poos. Then I've just taken her out again at 6am. She has water up until she goes to sleep and when she gets up. But it appears I may be wrong on this so will have to do some...

But then it worries me that I'm not doing the right thing. I think it's worse than having a child how much we worry about our pets )

Yes. I'm seeing conflicting opinions on different websites. Some say it's good for toilet training puppies. Some forums people are actually saying it's cruel not to leave water down during the night. I honestly don't think this is the case. You don't need water when your asleep. I don't.
