2022 V6 Gas or 2024 Hybrid?

2022 is $29,000 with 51,000 miles, was privately owned.

2024 hybrid is $30,000 with 60,000 miles, was used as a fleet or rental.

Which one is better? I know the V6 is a preferred engine, but my mind is thinking that a newer hybrid model, which is AWD would be a better option and I’ve read about the transmission issues in V6 gas models

Golden Retriever x Collie has severe itching/allergies

Hi All,

I guess I’m reverting to Reddit to see if anyone has found the ‘magic’ cure for dog allergies. I’m sure it doesn’t exist but even something to relieve my poor 3 year old Golden x Collie

Back story, I got him from the pound when he was 6 months old. When we got home, I noticed how itchy he was and after about a month I decided to do a hair allergy test. It had a lot of tree pollen and other things that weren’t local to us in South Carolina so I went to his vet where he was put on Apoquel and while it does relieve him somewhat, I have seen a lot of people say it causes strange cancers and I can’t bare the thought of thinking of that happening to him.

I went to his vet where they did the Nextmune test which was $700 and he started the vials but when he got to the third vial, he started having an adverse reaction which I know now to be borderline anaphylactic shock.

We were referred to a dermatologist where they scraped his skin and didn’t find anything so they put him on a food trial, which he’s been on for 4 months now. We have his recheck in June but I have noticed he has been super itchy in the last month of so. I did call the dermatologist and she said she doesn’t think it’s food related but to keep him on the food.

She wants to do another test - IDX Allergen Panel: South Atlantic/Gulf with 3 Starter Vials. This test is $900 and while I appreciate them, I just feel like we are going around in very expensive circles.

I have tried probiotics and he did have 1 cytopoint shot when he was about 8 months old but I don’t remember it to do too much for him. I did just order Better Wild allergy chews to see if they will work.

I really want to see if anyone has found anything that helped their dog get some relief and have a good quality of life

Any at home remedies until we see Vet?

Hi all,

My three year-old golden retriever X collie has terrible allergies. We are in the process of a food trial and he was taken off his Apoquel.

He currently takes 30 mg of Zyrtec daily (he is 70 pounds)

I just saw that he has chewed the right side of his groin until it is raw from itching. Our usual vet cannot get us in until Wednesday afternoon. Is there anything I can do at home to help him? He is now wearing a cone.

Can someone clear this up for me?

I thought there was a whole big thing about Ellen leaving the show in season 20(?) but she continues to be in it.

I’m confused because I thought it meant she was leaving for good but has been in every season since

Looking for tips for trade-in

Planning on trading-in my 2019 Chevy equinox for a newer Honda or Kia but wondering if there’s anything I should do before arriving at the dealer?

Should I call ahead, get other quotes on trade-in price, make the car spotless etc.?

I’ve never traded a car in before so totally new to this side of car buying!

Any help appreciated

Looking to upgrade from my 2019 Chevy Equinox to a 2021-2025 car but unsure which one to go for.

I was looking at Toyota Highlanders too but they seem marginally more expensive for what seems like a very similar car?!

I like the 3rd row seating aspect for when I have family in town.

Open to other suggestions!
