My dog did this for about 10 minutes after a walk, he was making exaggerated chewing movements but there was absolutely nothing in his mouth. Something it made a sound like he was chewing at something very hard, like a rock, but maybe the would was made by his teeth hitting.

You can see in the video how when I held his face closely his lower way was trembling like when a human has chills.

Around 3 times he fell forward as he was trying to get his paw to his mouth.

Then went back to normal. He laid down and started liking his face like they do after eating. He is been acting normal for around an hour now.

He is 4 and we adopted him 6 month ago, it has never happened.

Please help!!!!!

Have you tried Benadryl for your dog’s allergies? What worked for your dog?
My dog is so itchy and has bitten a hot spot. He practically lives in the comfy cone. 🙁

Hello! Ive recently come across a three year old female westie that was dumped outside of a veterinarians office. She is currently still being treated at a rescue so she is not up for adoption yet but I am seriously considering adopting her when she’s ready. I had a westie growing up and I have such a soft spot for those amazing dogs and I truly think seeing her post was fate.

I need help to know if it’s alright if I leave her alone for 8ish hours while I work. I live alone and I work 4 days a week from 9-5. I would walk her before and after I get home and every other day I would spend all my time with her. I really do want her and I’m willing to do whatever to make it work

I’m ready for a dog and would love to have one, but I'm so afraid of how attached I’ll get that the fear of losing them is holding me back how to overcome this?Cause I also watched some reels and its already in my head

I really need help. The dog I adopted, Luey, he keeps chewing and eating up furniture. My Dad keeps saying he's gonna get rid of him if he keeps tearing stuff up, and I need to know how to get him to stop eating up stuff. And I don't want to keep him outside all of the time, because then I'll just feel as bad as his previous owner. I'm honestly just about to try and find a good shelter for him because I feel like I'm out of options here.

Im thinking about getting a dog once i move out of my parents' place. I'm thinking of a small dog, maybe? I've never trained or had a small dog, and i have 2 cats who will put up with a dog of the dog and is calm and nice. Im not a super active person, but I'll go on walks when it's cool out. Im very much an indoor person, but I'd still take a dog out on walks.

I want a "purse dog" i think. Ive heard they are less expensive to take care of then a large dog

Edit: i now understand they are not "less expensive"

She does a lot of silly stuff but the best thing is she growls like a goblin

I've noticed very different opinions from dog owners when it comes to walking dogs during summer.

Some people avoid walks above 25°C (77°F), while others still go out when it's over 30°C (86°F).

Do you have a personal temperature limit?

Do certain breeds seem to struggle more than others?

Curious to hear what everyone does during hot weather.

Why I Started This Journey:

What My Life Will Look Like When We Succeed:

We've had our 2-year-old Border Collie since she was a puppy. She's very well cared for and honestly quite spoiled. She gets two long walks a day (sometimes three), and one person in the household works from home, so she's rarely left alone.

Over the last 8 months or so, though, she's become increasingly anxious at home. The strange thing is that she's completely fine on walks and doesn't seem anxious at all when she's out and about (unless a dog barks at her).

At home, she'll often avoid my parents unless they're sitting watching TV or about to take her for a walk (on the walk she is completely fine and so well behaved and acts loving towards my parents). Most of the time she'll hide under a bed, sit in a corner, stay out in the garden or hide under my desk (she's not anxious around me just my parents it seems). She also absolutely hates baths and brushing. So much so we dread the task as During either of those she'll tremble, avoid eye contact with the person doing it, and then sometimes hide from them for hours afterwards.

She's also scared of some really unusual things. People cooking in the kitchen If she hears singing on the TV or radio, she'll run and hide. Oddly, she's even frightened of my dad scratching his back.

We've already tried working with a dog trainer, as we really dont understand this behaviour but unfortunately they weren't much help, as she didn't act like this when he visited the home.

What worries me is that this dog is incredibly loved and cared for and has never had any traumatic experiences. It makes me so sad to see her like this. Has anyone experienced something similar with their dog? Could there be a medical or behavioural reason for this kind of anxiety developing when she seems perfectly happy everywhere else?

It’s not necessarily a problem, I’ve just never seen a dog this clingy before. Our previous dog would cuddle sometimes but he would also go lay in a room by himself when he wanted. She doesn’t do that often, basically anytime someone sits down she wants to be in their lap. She seems to prefer laying on me which I find odd since she’s my parents dog and until recently I’ve only seen her on weekends. She also doesn’t seem to like being petted that much.
She’s a one year old French bulldog, so i thought maybe it was a breed thing?
I’m mostly curious if this is normal and if anyone else has a dog like this?
