Abby always yawns with a squeak when she is feeling anxiety. Too cute. Do your doods do this?

Do any of you use Otomax ear drops? What do you do about the greasy hair look? Quick fixes for this?

Does genetic dwarfism happen in dogs? Ive heard of runts but check out the back paws of the hidden pup in comparison to the paws of the normal sized pup. This reminds me of a show on primordial dwarfism.

If a healthy standard sized dog has 2 pups 1st litter and 4 pups the second is there something wrong?

Why do vets reccommend food that has corn in it when we all know this isnt good for dogs? They act like they are such know-it-alls and you feel like saying "Are you getting a commission?"

Do you worm your dogs on a regular basis or just in puppyhood?

If you take your dog with you on holidays what do you do with them if you cant take them for the day (drop in doggy day-care?)

How often do you practice tricks with your dog? Do you go for a walk daily?

Honey might squeak sometimes, never heard Hannah do that, I use R-7’s Ear Cleaner For Dogs & Cats is for routine use to clean and deodorize the ear canal. I use it 2 to 3 times a week, keeps their ears clean and reduces odor, I would think Vets should know what to tell their clients, after all they are the educated ones in this field, however my guess is they don't spend much time learing about nutrition for animals. I do a yearly fecal test on my dogs, if they need to be wormed than yes, if not..no. They also are on heartworm, and Advantage or Revolution which also protects them from getting any worms from places like the dog park. My dogs always stay with family, we have a revolving door of watching each others pets. Tricks can be an everyday event, and daily walks are at least 3xs a day.

LOL. You are too funny with the questions!!!!

Abby always yawns with a squeak when she is feeling anxiety. Too cute. Do your doods do this? Allie yawns with a squeak when she is anxious. It makes me feel uncomfortable - because I feel bad that she is nervous!!!!

Do any of you use Otomax ear drops? I haven't had to use ear drops, and she gets groomed so often that I just save that for the Groomer

When I started reading this question - for some reason I thought of the Wizard of Oz!!!

If you take your dog with you on holidays what do you do with them if you cant take them for the day (drop in doggy day-care?) I take Allie EVERYWHERE with me when I go away, if dogs aren't welcome - we find a pet friendly hotel to stay in. She does go to doggy daycare a couple days a week.

How often do you practice tricks with your dog? We practice sitting, waiting, high five, shake, lay down everytime I give her a treat!!!!!

Do you go for a walk daily? 3 walks to be exact.
