Yesterday I picked up my puppy (13 mos old Westie) from daycare, and the lady there pointed out some bald spots on her. I had noticed within the past few weeks that it seemed that she had on on the inside of her leg, but I couldn't tell since that area has very few hairs to begin with. However...

Hi everyone, I have a question about this thing that has been going on with my puppy. She is a Westie, she just turned one on August 4. Anyway, I noticed quite a few times when I used to pickher up after her naps that she would be wet on one of her legs, and sometimes her bed would be wet, but...

My puppy (6 mos old Westie) has been sneezing (wet sneezes) since Monday. On Sunday we went to the doggie park and it was cold, she ran around a lot, I can only assume that she inhaled a lot of the cold wind, so she now has a - what I call - cold. I took her to the vet on Monday, they gave me...

So, I have been thinking about getting a kong for my Westie. I have been looking and looking, and I just have a question: if you stuff the kong with whatever (peanut butter, treats etc.), isn't there a point where she can't reach the inside of the kong? If yes, isn't this going to frustrate her...

So I've been thinking about taking Rory (6mos old Westie) to a doggie day care here in town. Since I am at work all day (I go home every day for lunch) I feel that she would love to spend some time with other dogs rather than staying home waiting for me. This would be for probably 2 days a week...

... So I ordered some samples of their dehydrated flakes, and I intend to give some to Rory (my Westie puppy) tonight and see how she likes it. I was reading their little brochure that came with the samples, and they claim that it is well balanced, made from human grade ingredients. They...

So... again about my almost 6 mos old Westie. She is very good (well, except for when it comes to eating kibble, but we are fixing that with cooked food :)) and a happy little creature. However, she has this really obnoxious habit where she grabs on to my shoes and hangs on. It is usually when...

I have an almost six months old Westie. I have been trying to give her some raw chicken wings, and she doesn't know what to do with them! :) She eats raw meat just fine (loves it!), but when I give her a whole wing, she picks it up and walks around with it in her mouth, whimpering the whole...

... I was looking around for dog food, and I found Life's Abundance and Sojos (I see that the links come up at the top of this forum). Are these good foods or are there any catches that I can't see? The websites are www.healthfoodforpets.com and www.sojos.com. I appreciate anyone's...

I am not sure if this is the place for this issue, but it's "everything about puppies", so here it goes... :) I have a 5 mos old Westie, and a cockatiel. The way I have it set up now is the cockatiel pretty much lives upstairs, and the dog downstairs. I split my time between the two, I am...

My 5-months old Westie girl was spayed today, and I will go pick her up in about an hour. I was told that I should feed her something light today and tomorrow, and I am wondering what that is - could you give me some ideas? FYI, she is on Royal Canin, but a very picky eater - and by this I mean...

After reading some posts here, I mentioned to one of my friends that I was thinking of giving my puppy some raw chicken that she could chew on. He said that he would be worried about Salmonella, and asked me if dogs could get it. I was thinking that, since I would freeze whatever goes to the...

Hello all, I have mentioned in my post about the spaying that I am oscillating between two vets for this procedure. The reason that I am even considering two vets is the following: About 3 weeks ago my puppy jumped out of the car (parked car, before anyone is wondering if the car was moving - a...

Hello all :) I have a Westie, she will be 5 months old on Jan 4. I am thinking of spaying her next week (right after New Year), and I need your help. She is my first puppy ever, so I do not know much about what I would need to ask the vet regarding the procedure. Needless to say, she is my baby...

I have a 4 months old Westie that is very hard to feed (I posted about this before, thank you all for your answers). :) She has been fed Royal Canin for the past month or so, and she had been doing fine on it. However, she is becoming harder and harder to get to eat something. I tried moistening...

I have a 16-week old Westie, that I had on a harness for all our outside trips. She loved it and she used to pull on the leash as much as possible. I started taking her to Petsmart for classes, and they recommended that I change that to a collar, since it will help with the pulling also. So I...

I just got my Westie puppy to eat Royal Canin instead of Purina Puppy Chow (btw, thanks to everyone posting here, I bought it and she loved it - as much as her prissy self can like dog food :)). I was trying to read the table that they have on the side of the bag, and I cannot figure it out :)...

I have a 14-week old Westie, and I am feeding her Purina Puppy Chow. No, it's not by choice per se, because I did try getting different kinds of food - I tried California something or other (I am at work, I don't have the complete name), and I tried Authority, and she will not eat it. Purina...

Hi everyone, I have a 14 weeks old Westie, she is adorable. Everything is going great, she is being good about housebreaking, she eats, sleeps like a puppy, except... it's hard for me to have any meals without her just trying to jump on me and get some of what I'm eating. I don't want to give in...
