I’m always getting comments how she’s too skinny I’ve taken her to vet three times. She is 3 years old. She doesn’t eat table food. Ive tried pumpkin , several different kibble, three different wet foods , and chicken broth topper. She will eat around her science diet kibble and she takes about 1 1/2 days to finish her bowl. She’s happy other than that. Poops and pees normally… she just can’t gain weight.

We just brought her home about a week ago. She is adorable, smart, and mischievous we are absolutely in love! This is my first time owning a small dog so any advice is welcome 🥰

👋🏼 hello from little chloe (13 weeks now)

I’m trying to plan ahead and during our last vaccine appointment asked how much it would be to spay. I’m in SF and I get it, everything is expensive and they quoted me $850 + likely $200 in prep bloodwork. Am I crazy or is that the going rate nowadays? I called a second opinion for an estimate and the reception said they start at $1k too. My last pup was spayed 16 years ago and I have no idea how much we paid.

Second Q for insurance. After a bunch of research, I went with Pet’s Best but after going through 2 rounds of vaccines and a tapeworm issue, it really didn’t do much of anything. Barely any of it was covered after spending roughly $700. I understand the different limits but has anyone had good experiences with them long term? I’m paying $70/mo. I used to have Nationwide for my previous pup and opted for Pet’s Best this time around because coverage seemed better. But maybe it isn’t 😅

Sorry, kind of vent but also am I crazy lol.
Any advice would be much appreciated.

Can anyone offer advice on how to deal with severe matting? My little guy hurt and had to wear a cone and we admittedly let the mats get out of control. They are all over his body, ears, and even some on his face 😭

We got one of these poodlie brushes that seems to help but we just got it yesterday. Are there any pro tips anyone can offer? I know we need to be more diligent in the future.

She squeezed her way through to the back of the wheel. She was pretty comfortable back there.
