I've not heard of Brazilian terriers before - checking online, I really like the look of them. Can't wait to see your photos!

It's such a big subject, could you start a new thread in this section please? Dog Food and Diet Let us know what you've offered her so far, and what has gone down... and stayed down!

Welcome to the forum :)

I've replied to your other thread on feeding, but just to pick up on one point - it's best not to leave a dog's meal lying around so they can pick at it as and when. It's best that at mealtimes they are a little hungry, and then eat it all in one go, giving their digestion a break before the...

You'll find any number of different opinions on this (which is mainly because rigorous scientific studies haven't been done, so opiniions are mainly personal experience, educated guesses... and unedicated guesses!). In my opinion, a raw diet is really healthy, possibly the most healthy diet. It...

What I would like to understand is, if Freddie immediately stopped pulling on the slip lead, how does it work? Wouldn't he have had to pull enough at first to realise that pulling was unpleasant? Yet so many dogs will pull even on a choke chain to the point where their eyes are bulging. I...

I think as your vet is happy and he seems healthy, I would err on the side of letting him go hungry. I would also take up any food left after 10 minutes at the most - it's better for dogs to eat straight away than to graze. And if he is kept a little on the hungry side, he'll learn to look...

It's worth bearing in mind too that some older dogs lose weight rather than gain it... in which case senior dog foods won't be appropriate for them at all.

I asked my son about where would be a good platform to get feedback from your app and he suggested Reddit - they have subsections specifically for asking for feedback for this type of thing.

Welcome to the forum - we'd love to hear about your new pup!

Remember that the ideal is for a muzzle to be more like a safety belt - it's there just in case. So it's still important to build up trust, at whatever speed it takes, and try to accustom him in time to eye drops (or wipes if that ends up being easier), ear drops, paw handling, general handling...

Ah, the poor lad. It sounds like for now, you need to remove as much stress as possible till he's able to relax more. And then maybe just have the pads in the same room as him so they become part of the furniture. And keep your fingers crossed his eyes stay OK for a while... You might want to...

What worked for my dog was wiping his eyes with wet cotton wool pads. He would accept that, and gradually I used slightly wetter pads, then squeezed them to drop water on his fur close to his eye, until I could give his eyes a reasonable bathe and wipe away any gunk. If your dog is already...

I really hope you find a solution :(

From my experience, neutering can remove some of that full-on 'angry young dog' behaviour, but most aggression - and apparent dominance - is based in insecurity, and neutering too early is likely to make that worse. Testosterone will help a dog develop the confidence he needs to become a cool...

Would it be possible for your vet to test for what the specific allergy/irritant is? I don't know how easy this is though, or how much it would cost.

I'm wondering if there's any social media platforms where you might find people more accustomed to using apps? I'm sort of trying to avoid saying 'younger people', but that's probably what it comes down to! My daughter-in-law uses apps for everything, from whose turn it is to clean the kitchen...

Such a beautiful dog :-)

Ouch!!

Thank you @Lady's Tramp :-)
