I do think chicken is not his jam. He seems to be doing better on lamb. Almost all of his hair has grown back in. He had breathing issues when he was younger and did see a specialist. They said he has a small trachea even for a bulldog and has a long soft palate. We got a hit! We are meeting...

Hello, I bought per insurance that ended denying everything he needs. He doesn't have to have, but would benefit from BOAS surgery and has allergies. I thought I was protected somewhat by getting insurance as soon as I got him as a puppy. However, it looks like I'm not protected at all. While I...

I need to rehome my 2 year old bulldog. Does anyone know of Agencies and/or Resources in Central Virginia? I'd like to avoid the pound if at all possible.

Thanks for responding. Most people don't know this is a thing. My boy is a heavy sniffer. I'd want to curb it because the flehmen is tied to his overall sniffing. If I were a visitor and went to someone's house and their dog wouldn't stop smelling on me, I wouldn't like it. I get the hello sniff...

So, almost like a "leave it" command.

If you've never seen Flehmen Response in a dog it looks like this after he's smelt something "rich": Flehmen Response. This is NOT a seizure. It only happens after he has reaally smelt something and it does have a sexual component as it can be a response to pheromones. Most people don't even...

Do most of you have neutered males? Brutus has now hit 1 year old. I was wondering if most people with English Bulldogs neuter their male dogs and why? Background: I have no behavioral issues. I can walk him anywhere without issues with other dogs. He doesn't dart out of our doors when we...

I swapped Brutus’ bowl with this one: Leashboss Slow Feeder Dog Bowl for Flat Face Breeds, Tilted Slow Feed Bowl for Dogs & Cats, Slanted Maze Food Bowl for French Bulldogs, Pugs, Boston Terriers, Flat Face Dog Bowls Large, Small Breed https://a.co/d/1qWX3FR. All is good with the world. He is...

I got this bowl for Brutus: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00FPKNRCS?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details. I don't feel like he can reach the food at the bottom.

Our Brutus loves everyone! To be fair, we don’t have a ton of company. When someone comes into the house Brutus usually will go to their feet and roll on his back like he wants a belly rub, he will also sit to be pet. I’m good with either of those behaviors. Sometimes he will try to jump up. We...

Please share your recommendatIon. I’m also looking for experiences/reviews (good or bad) of slow feeders used.

It appears that Brutus’ issue was mostly related to him moving around after drinking. He’s a serious follower. He will follows and of the humans that are going into the kitchen in case they have get a snack, if I’m leaving out of one of the doors to go out in the yard, etc. That motion was...

If Brutus eats while drinking he does not throw up. He only throws Up when drinking alone. It’s like 5 minutes after he finishes drinking. Clear liquid. I’ve started giving him as much water as I can with meals. I’ve also started giving him room temperature water vs super cold.

Anyone have an EBD that shows up after drinking water. It's clear and it's not everything he drank..he does eat/drink on the fast side but I've had dogs that were that way before. He always burps about 3 times after eating or drinking. He doesn't throw up his good. Just clear liquid right after...

Next time I will pack more than enough food when boarding my dog. I don't think they watch the portion sizes closely and ran out of food. They either gave him other food or they used one scoop for different types of food. I hope they did the latter because giving a dog random food can reek havoc...
