What's wrong with microchipping?

>>5000694
A microchip has an antenna in it and it will pick up frequencies that fuck with your dog's electromagnetic sensing. Also coated in toxic chemicals and studies in mice have shown that implanted microchips lead to cancer in 1/10 mice.

>>5000694
Increased tumor risk, and sometimes they won't even check to see if a dog has a chip anyways.
Years ago I brought a very kind stray cat to the vets and asked them to check if it had a chip, the scanner had a layer of dust on it and we had to wait for the battery to charge, the lady couldn't remember the password and had to call somebody.
So it had probably been years.

Upon further research, the landrace breeds in the Americas like Carolina Dogs (rare as hell), Xolos (with coat), Peruvian Inca Orchids (with coat), all of them are basically Spitz dogs with a short coat/tail held lower.

I learned that dogs have a specific taste bud for water that humans don't have. As a waterchad I must admit my envy of my dog for enjoying this treasure.

Are there any dog food brands that take this into account? There's got to be some treat that could pander to a dog's sense of taste like specialized water ice instead of ice cream.

What is the appeal to people who own these dogs?

Blog post, feel free to ignore.

Another uncontrolled dog ran up to my dog again. It is very tiresome. Please leash your dogs. Especially leash them at the local park that thousands of people visit daily. Yeah sure your dog might be cool with other dogs, but mine is not. My dog will fight any dog that gets too close and is roughly the same size. That's only because my dog has been attacked twice by unleashed dogs.

Two women and their children where playing fetch with their dogs. One leashed and other not. But both free-roaming/fetching several dozen feet from the owners. We got a city-wide leash law here.

Their husky ran across the field towards me today, but I managed to grab that dog's leash since I had time to prepare my dog for the potential fight. After my dog was attacked years ago, I always keep minimum 100 feet away from other dogs/humans. I'm not too short so I was able to suspend a husky with one arm while keeping my husky by my side.

Bros, I choked that husky a little by the collar while I was suspending it mid-air by the leash and yelling at this lady to finally come get her fucking dog. I have never hurt a dog before. The largest mammal I have hurt was a mouse. And that was to humanely kill it since it was on a glue trap.

All I can do is tell myself
>no one got hurt

>>5000991
i did that once or twice hoping my dog would behave but nope and ive also had a shitbull run up on us unleashed, i learned my lesson shes not a tv dog

>>5000990
Dog people dog

>>5000991
You didn't hurt the dog, the owner did by not controlling it. It's lucky it only got yanked and cranked (a humane, effective training technique™) by you instead of getting nannied by a pitbull.

>>5000991
Whats with huskies and getting attacked? Do mutts seethe because they still look like real animals?

>>5001014
Huskies are shit at giving the "I'm not a threat" signal to other dogs and instead assume everyone wants to match their energy and play, which can provoke overly aggressive dogs.

I wanna try playing frisbee with my dog to see if he picks up on it. He's a pom mix, maybe 20% bigger than a pom. I need it to not mess his teeth up, he's older and likes to chew on things and play tug of war.
>Hero Disc Superatom 185 Taffy Plastic

I think I will try this one first, unless...
>Hyperflite Jawz 7"
Are these ones fine for a small dog's teeth? Or is the plastic too hard?
>Hyperslite Soflite 7"
Backup plan if the vet says the hyperflex/taffy is wearing his teeth.
Anyone have experience playing frisbee with a small dog and has used discs actually designed for dogs/safety?

>>5001027
This isn't addressing the choices you listed, but I've heard that instead of frisbees you should get those discs with a hole in the middle, pic related
Basically they fly a lot smoother, and when your dog bites on it, the hole in the middle helps give less surface area to bite on

>>5001029
that actually sounds great. if they don't do as good in the wind, i can just bring the tennis balls on those days instead. who makes the best rings like that for a small dog? or do you know what they're called?

>>5001032
the term is aerobie iirc, but the generic term is just flying ring. I don't know who makes them specifically for small dogs, but I'm sure a smaller size will do the trick

>>5000990
Sometimes you just want a dog that'll always be in snooze mode.

>>5001032
Why not ball on string? Works better regardless of wind direction. You can get pretty good distances with a ball on string. Not as good as ideal frisbee conditions, but still quite far.

>>5001039
i like the idea of it getting hang and air time, i think he would find it fun. he has a heart murmur so i don't want him chasing after it too fast, but he finds shorter throws boring even if i underhand it really high.

>>5001035
thanks anon, will look into these.

>>5001041
Consider teaching him stay fetch. You have dog stay, throw ball, then give him a release command and he goes and retrieves it.
Stay fetch doesn't activate prey drive like normal fetch does, so dogs stay calmer overall, and the active listening/patience aspect is really good for them.

Been taking Buddy pal to the local obedience school for puppy classes for the sake of socialisation. It's pretty goofy there, they get you to drag your puppy around on leash, doing maneuvers and hand signals and forcing your dog to sit, stand etc. All the people attending classes are super stressed, complaining at their puppy and tugging at the dogs leash as a way of correction. Poor puppies there don't have a clue, don't understand what's expected of them and are super distracted by all the other dogs and people and new smells. It's a complete circus. After puppy school they continue on but begin using chock collars (or check chains as they like to call it). I like the socialisation my dog gets there, but all that other stuff really sucks big time.

>>5001009
Incredibly based. Hard to tell but looks like a border Collie. The anglos really did create one amazing dog when they created the border Collie.

>>5001052
Is your puppy benefiting from it at all? My pup is meant to start training in about a month when he gets to be 6 months old. You are making me wonder if it is worth it or not.

>>5001054
He definitely benefits from the socialisation part, he loves meeting all the other dogs, I can see it on his face with his big broad smile. I'm dipping out of this school soon and taking him somewhere else that's less retarded. There's no way in fuck I'm putting a choke chain on my friend, especially when he responds so well to positivity-based training I do with him at home.

In your case I'd find out more about the obedience club you're attending, and don't be afraid to walk away if you don't feel comfortable. Every training school is different, it's a matter of finding one that is a good fit for you and your dog. I also recommend reading dog training books by Jean Donaldson. Out of all the dog training books I've read, hers are the most sane.

>>5001052
Do americans seriously abuse puppies? Stop going there. Using aversives in training causes a significant uptick in aggression. They should only be used when its extremely important to stop a severe behavior, like if a dog has a chicken.

>>5001052
>pay to abuse your dog

>>5001087
if my dog had a chicken i would let him eat it just for a treat

wild dogs get to experience that thrill every day, poor domesticated dogs might only get to do it once in their life and then get scolded for it

>>5001087
This is in Australia. It's an obedience club that was recommended to me by my vet of all people. It's a volunteer org run by old ex-cop farts. So many people attend this club, a shame it's so arse backwards. It's really cheap to attend, $5 per session, so you get what you pay for I suppose. This is the club one of the instructors discouraged me of holding my dog because it teaches him that he is the dominant one, somehow.

I've lined up classes with another group who train therapy dogs, so hopefully they have their act together.

>>5001097
>ex-cop

>This is the club one of the instructors discouraged me of holding my dog because it teaches him that he is the dominant one, somehow.
fucking bogan cunts

>>5001104
I feel bad especially for the other people attending and their dogs. They don't have a clue what's what, going along with everything they're told to do. I even saw some had already put choke chains on their 14 week-old puppies to drag them along on, it's really sad. I'm going to go early on the next session to exchange info with some of the people at the club, assuming they show up, because Buddy loved playing with their dog, it would be cool if they could be puppy playmates on the weekends. After that I'm out, no more classes for Buddy at that place, the instructors are too damn fat and stupid.

Companion breeds were for the wealthy. Who had a higher quality of life than everyone else. In modern day, we all have a quality of life that is near to, or matching those of the wealthy back in the day. Companion breeds are always malformed. They turn puggish. Truncated snouts with breathing issues, and nervous twitching like with chihuahuas. They shrink down to pocket size, and become become walking vet bills.

All the best dogs are working dogs. They're decently sized, and healthy. And they still retain have the instinct to perform their job. For a lot of breeds, their jobs were just to bark and fend off intruders. But for others, it was herding, spotting, hunting, pulling, etc.

>People who eat dogs have always been desperate, degenerate, broken, inferior, insane, etc.
They're just people who realized that they had more dogs than jobs for dogs to fulfill, so they ate the excess. Who needs a beast around, when they don't serve a purpose? The people who keep animals purely as companions are so broken, that they feel unfulfilled by normal human interaction. And so use animals as a supplement for what they're lacking. It's a similar trait to gluttony. The person who overeats, often claims that they never feel full when eating normal portions. You're like that, but emotionally. You are never full emotionally, so you use animals to gorge yourself on affection.

>The people who keep animals purely as companions are so broken, that they feel unfulfilled by normal human interaction.
No, people with pets are not broken. They are smart. For very little investment, and quite a nice benefit, they can constantly repel horrid autistic cretins such as yourself, as well as any cultist who follows mohammad, and any communism-brained chinese peasant they might run across. There is nothing that is quite as good as repelling undesirable people as a dog, whether you're dirt poor or in high society.

>>5001321

>>5000230
>Anon, dog eaters have always been degenerate and inferior. This isn't even up for debate
No, you're just so dog-crazy, that you would rather be racist than admit dogs are inferior animals to humans. I don't even know where you're getting this drowned baby propaganda from. The one child policy was not as strict as you seem to think it is. Some especially poor and desperate people would abandon their unwanted children. But that's how it was in all counties. European/western counties all have histories where they would sell off children whom they couldn't afford to feed. Desperate times cause people to take desperate measures.

But the population explosion in China is in large part due to how much food they produce over there. Incredibly fertile lands, and high rice yields, lead to population growth. Meanwhile, in the supposed "superior" countries, lower land fertility resulted in famine and lower birth rates. So in China, eating dog is a choice. Not born of desperation. For a time, even European countries maintained dog slaughter houses. But they were shut down by law. Not out of an abundance of empathy.

You do realized that China makes pets out of dogs too, right? You're not special in that regard.

>they can constantly repel horrid autistic cretins such as yourself
Oh stop it. You sound foolish. You got a dog to repel others? No. You got a dog because you're emotionally starved. Meanwhile, in China, they can rely on community: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ECmlEOn1wMU

>DURR U RACIST!
Because I admit some people are worse than others? Mind you the intelligent, high bred, civilized chinese abhor the dog eating scum as much as any sane westerner who isn't a liberal cretin like you.

>They can rely on community!
And dogs are a great thing to include in a community in order to repel subversive leftists, muslims, vegans, etc.

>>5001377
yeah, we own dogs because people like you don't like that. you are an unwanted and horrible presence in any social group.

My advice? Use big cameras to take pictures of your dog then print those pictures.

>>5001379
>Because I admit some people are worse than others?
I don't know how anyone can call other races "inferior", and not be racist. If claiming racial superiority isn't racist, then what is?

>And dogs are a great thing to include in a community in order to repel subversive leftists, muslims, vegans, etc.
Huh? Leftists and vegans all love animals and have pets all the time. Autistic people get pets too. I don't know much about Muslims. Are they not allowed to own pets or something?
I don't know who you think you're repelling. Hell, pit bull owners are probably worse than any Chinese person. You probably wouldn't want pit owners in your community.

>>5001381
Cope, lies, and subterfuge. You own a pet because you're an emotionally starved affection glutton. You're so desperate to distract from that fact, that you're actually on 4chan arguing that you're a normalfag.

>>5001377
hm, i got a dog because i like dogs, but now that others mention it, if youre the kind of person that seethes at dogs i think ill get another. being african repellent was already enough of a perk for me but hey, the less of you the better.

btw the real average iq of china is in the 80s, they have a massive homelessness epidemic, and the majority of the people the ccp counts as literate cant finish a light novel.

>>5001389
Africans like dogs. What are you on about?
You're another coper. You're not going to get a dog because some dude on the internet argued that eating dogs is ok.
I like dogs btw. I just don't like most dog owners. Maybe 1 out of 100 owners actually bother to train and discipline their dogs. The rest leave it up to chance. They just hope their dog isn't a menace. Some get lucky with well behaved dogs, other get unlucky with menaces. Some owners actively create menaces, because they're anti-social and hope their dogs scare others away. But for the most part, you all got dogs because you're emotionally starved.

>>5001387
I didn't call an entire race inferior. I called china's dog eating retards inferior.

>You own a pet because you're an emotionally starved affection glutton
Not him but I own a pet because I own a pet, and owning a pet is great at pissing off sniveling liberal faggots like you.

You see, the chinese are on my side

They also recognize the reality of their country. it is not a paradise. It is a shithole due to the CCP's designs. The immense amount of soulless retards that comprise over 70% of the chinese populace were made and kept retarded by the oppressive policies and outward lies of the CCP, and xi has to go. I suspect the chinese will overthrow their own government the first chance they get with impressive efficacy.

>>5001391
Nah, we got dogs because they drive away people like you. You seething at us having dogs is proof enough. My dog barks at, sniffs and licks visitors and I encourage them to specifically to repel incels, muslims, etc.

>average dog fan: Degeneracy will be driven out of china by the nature of social progress. Already the capitalist youth have began banning dog meat.

"Makes sense with the poor chinese and whatnot, they are all broken people."

Now you argue that approximately 70% of Chinese people fit the profile of low empathy sociopaths. Well 70% of China's population is 987,700,000 people. That number is so massive, that you are effectively calling a race of people inferior low empathy sociopaths.
This number you pulled out of your ass, isn't even congruent with the information from the website you linked. That website claims that only 20% eat dog or cat, and of the 20% who do, many have only tried it once or twice.
The site then goes on to claim that in some region called Yulin where they hold a festival to promote the dog slaughter industry, even there 72% of the people don't eat dog.

So by your own evidence, the 70% number you pulled is a massive exaggeration. Sounds like racial bias to me. You disregard your own evidence to push the narrative that the vast majority of Chinese people are inferior to you.

>>5001394
Not even worth a reply for real. What you're saying is so disconnected from reality. And even assuming it were true, all you're doing is showing that you're the one who should be shunned from society.

>>5001395
You: "You're not a REAL fan of dogs, unless you have an irrational attachment to them via racially superior genes. But uh.... actually I'm not overly attached, my dogs are to keep you away :^)"

Like I said in my very first post on this topic. I believe that while dogs are inferior, humans should do what they can to reduce their suffering. So I wouldn't condone anything on that list. It all smells of abuse and inhumanity to me.

>>5001407
I've never once espoused the notion that good is relative. You put those words in my mouth last thread. However, you're the one arguing that good is based on the evolution of dogs to elicit empathy from humans. Which makes them more worthy than other animals. Which is an argument for relative morality.

Also, if I'm "schizo posting" for lumping multiple people on the same side together, then the person you replied to is also schizoposting. See pic related. He also lumped in two anons as one.

She really is. She does that thing where the second our other dogs leave the play field and are behind the gate/fence she starts barking at them. Thankfully she never fights with Leo anymore. She did a couple times, and I suspect she got her ass beat by Leo when we weren't there one time.
One day she had this weird swelling on her snout that opened into a wound and some scabs on both her ears. No signs of blood tho, which is kinda weird.

I have to look into reducing controlling behavior in dogs. That's really her main issue aside from food aggression.

It's actually just a 2bdr beach shack, i would definitely not go so far as to call it a nice house haha. But dogs do not care about niceties of houses.

/dog/ does indulge in the great Americana right?

...Would.

>>5001789
Have some standards hombre

What should I do for Chili (dog)'s first birthday?

>>5001800
Make him a cake using beef patties and a whipped egg white and liver frosting. :D

>>5001800
Give her a STEAK

>>5001800
STEAK

Some bitch let her rottweiler just hang out alone on her front yard and it attacked my dog. I'm fucking furious, I hate women dog owners who think they can handle a big ass dog like a rottweiler or pitbull. Gonna have to take mine to the vet now. She's just been sad since but I have no open vets until tomorrow. Leash your fucking dogs

>>5001885
Call animal control, hopefully the retard gets the dog taken.

>>5001885
I would have killed it. Do you not have a gun near you 24/7?

>>5001885
Have sex Incel

>>5001800
Let him chew a big meaty bone with some kidney and liver

>>5001885
Hope your dog is okay bro. How did you stop the attack?

>>5001914
Separated them and got bit a little bad myself. My girl got it the worst. She is walking around and eating now so better than last night where she was just laying down all night. Still warrants a visit to the vet

Ngh ugh grr…

have 2 cats and want to get my first dog, what breed would you guys recommend? I'm leaning towards a golden retriever rn

>>5001999
Borzoi

>>5001999
>>5002001
Pitbull for good measure

>>5001999
Adopt a rescue dog.

>>5002001
>>5002002
i dont want my dog eating my cats

>>5002007
Many such cases.

>>5001999
if you get a puppy then almost any breed can be fine at least with your own cats, with caveats for some extremely aggressive/prey driven dogs
other than that try to go to a shelter/rescue and get an older dog that has been vetted to be fine around cats
really, if you haven't had a dog before, don't get a puppy - it's very overwhelming

Took my puppy for a big walk on the beach. It was a really low tide so we explored a lot of rock pools. My puppy loves the beach but is scared of water and I am trying to get him used to it so I kept walking out on the rocks and then he would follow me and I'd walk through a shallow pool to get back to the beach and he would whine and bark but eventually jump in and wade through the water to follow me back. At the start he didn't even want to get his feet in but by the end he would wade through pools that were up to his belly. Now he's just been sleeping all day.

Water activity is a good dog work out. If you do it often enough at a young age he'll probably end up liking water

>>5001800
Take them to their favorite spot to exercise, let them pick out a treat and or toy from the petstore and give them a nice special dinner when you get home

It’s sad what that collie did to that chicken.

Good evening to everyone except pitbulls

>>5002101
Your ankle biter ain't too far from a pitbull, bud!

My sweet girl was put to sleep today. She was 12 years old, very small, runt of the litter. She used to wiggle like worm as a greeting and would jump to my arms excitedly. Her favorite treats were the little bits of unseasoned chicken I would sneak for her. She absolutely hated baths, would somehow knew when we were gonna bathe her and would hide before we even filled the tub. She wasn’t much of a catch or fetch enthusiast, but liked to carry this old mangled up teddy with her around the house. She was buried with the same teddy today. Sorry, don’t really have anyone to tell this to. I am really gonna miss her.

>>5002105
I'm sorry bro. What breed of dog? Do you have any pics to share?

>>5002104
What makes you say that?

I for one think cattle dogs are bulldog equivalents. Aggressive little things.

>>5002101
Border collies and heelers suck too tho.

>>5002106
Yes! This was her. Probably not the best photographer and I wouldn’t expect a lot of folks here liking this breed, but she was a mini pin. Didn’t even think dogs could be as small as she was.

>>5002116
I love your dog tho. Sorry about your loss.

>>5002004
Can we domesticate yotes?

>>5002120
Domestication takes a long time and causes physical changes in appearance. I think at best they can be tamed.

Dog.

>>5002125
This reminds me.

>>5002120
Sure, but they won't look like coyotes anymore in the same way that the Russian who did the selective breeding of foxes to domesticate them ended up with these dumb looking mofos.

>hi vet, my dog got a few cuts yesterday, can you help?
>"we need to do $2000 worth of blood work first

Hello dog

Why are vets always so fucking "busy"? They never answer the phone. Last one I went to didn't even have their lights on.

>>5002162
Similar situation where my boy was having a regurgitation problem. Vet did all a lot of extra stuff to then give him meds which just gave him diarrhea and made him overly thirsty. Fixed the problem myself by learning if I soaked the kibble to the point it was super soft he wouldn't regurgitate anymore. Not to mention vet assts. are fucking neurotic assholes hate those motherfuckers only ever met one who seemed like he genuinely cared about animals.

Ny dog chads rise up

My dog is so stoned after going to the vet she's acting like she literally forgot how to sleep and keeps waking herself back up the second she dozes off kek

>>5002328
Very nice dog

>>5002319
Why didn't you just feed him actual food so he wouldn't regurgitate it? The lengths people go to just to feed their dog kibble is insane.

>>5002334
No. He dislikes water.

Aussies are the best dog breed. I love them so much.

My dog's getting pretty old. I'm wondering if I get a puppy now if it'll be good for the puppy to learn from my older dog and she'll also have a companion for her old lady years

>>5002399
You should check how she feels about puppies at her age first. Or else it can be a "kid keeps poking grandma" situation and bad for both.

>>5002403
Guess it would depend on the breed of the puppy. My old lady is a heeler and still goes into "nooo you're not allowed to do that!" mode with other dogs. So definitely wouldn't get a breed that was too playful. My brother lived with me for a while and had an Australian Shepherd and they got along pretty well even though he was a bit rambunctious.

>>5002408
What breed were you thinking? Aussie like your brother?

>>5002416
Nah probably something medium sized like her. She's also a bit of a mutt herself so maybe something like that. I would adopt probably and just make sure it's not like a pitbull mix

>>5002428
Nice, although if you get a puppy from the pound they will come neutered at a very young age...which can be harmful to bone growth. Of course, I get why they snip them, the whole point is preventing other potentially unwanted dogs from showing up in shelters.

Stray dog from Bhutan.
I want one.

>>5002442
If you roll into Mexico for like 5 seconds you could probably have your pick of whatever stray dog you want

>>5002443
Are they free of parasites?

>>5002443
For some reason in Mexico the dog "owners" let their dogs out to roam the streets all day. True story.

>>5002448
The dogs must enjoy it though. They get to hang out with other dogs all day. Playing, exploring, fucking, hunting. Good times unless you get hit by a car or something.

>>5002447
Probably not

>>5002448
Cat people with dogs

>>5002485
I do like those videos where people put a go pro on their outdoor cats. That's exactly what they do before coming home. They just chill with the homies and fuck bitches.

Good evening to all my good friends but not pitbulls

>my dog got attacked by another dog while roommate was taking him for a walk
>take him to the vet and the bill is a bit of a chunk of cash for antibiotics, stiches etc
>person who was walking my dog when it attacked was wrong about the house where the dog came from and I knocked on their door
>his dog is literally like a 16 year old military dog that can barely stand
God fucking dammit I feel like a retarded Karen because I went to the wrong house. Fucking hate my roommate. Might have made new friends from the old couple with the old dog though.

Just want to let everyone know there will be a cats vs. Dogs photo competition on /p/ starting in the next few days. Bring your A game and represent!

>>5002515
Well I do have decent dog AND cat pics. Maybe I'll be there.

>>5002520
I decided that only new pics will be allowed as entries. I think it will make things more fun and interesting.

Im thinking that there will be a two week submission period so there will be plenty of time to plan and photograph something cool.

>>5002515
>malding this hard because even /p/ told you 4chan is a cat website
Knot showing up to your seethe contest. sorry dogredditor. I like dogs but it’s undeniably a cat website.

>>5002534
>NOOO You're angry! Stop having some light hearted fun.

Put up or shut lil bro.

>Have an obsession with “””dogredditor”””
>Have two.

>>5002611
They call me doghair on /p/ because all my scanned negatives used to have dog hair on them. It's hilarious.
There are some super duper extra super serious photographers on pee that take their art and craft so freaking serious. You better not post anything that isn't museum worthy on there.

>sneak an antibiotic pill into a hotdog slice
>dog eats the hotdog and spits out the pill
She's learning, dammit

This dog looks silly.

>>5002665
You and heathers owner throwing fits on /p/ because your photos suck is funny but eventually you will have to give up

Powerful cope from the seething nophoto. Share with us your fantastic work, please!
Surely you have a dog photo that absolutely btfos both of us. (You don't, and you won't)

>>5002723
I'm not a photographer I am simply making an observation after you called our attention to your activities on the photography board (again).

In my opinion, you just got trolled. Imagine starting a fake photo contest because someone said "cat website, dogs are reddit". It's stale bait by now, known to everyone who has ever stopped by an /an/ webm thread, and you STILL fell for it. Wow.

>>5002665
So blue and blurry. /p/ makes fun of you because this looks like a phone pic bruv.

Sorry guys. The nophotos get VERY angry at me.

>>5002725
No one actually cares about cats vs dog console wars aside from mentally ill losers that take themselves and this website way too seriously.
The contest is just for some light hearted fun and an excuse to make some high effort photos with your pet. Stop projecting all your mental illness onto me. I will say that it is truly hilarious how that one cat guy got so scared after saying he will embarass all the dog posters lol. Still having a melty over it apparently.

I have almost always had cats and like them almost equally to dogs.

>>5002735
nta but all you post is blurry pictures of dogs and farm animals

>>5002730
Still shivering in your boots I see.

>>5002746

Incorrect. I am going to start a photo contest because it will be fun. I've wanted to do it for a while now and it seems like this is the perfect opportunity.

After those posts I capped the poor cat guy made his own who is the better photographer cat people or dog people to samefag in, lol. Fearful behavior and a desperation to control this weird obsessive narrative he has about cats, dogs, and my intentions.

I'm all for it because of how funny it is.

Photo contest on Thursday.

Anyone doing anything fun with their dogs this week? We are going to be doing some really cool photoshoots. Lol

>>5002714

Cats are reddit. Spin it as many times as you want, cats will always be reddit.

>dump pills on top of dog's food
>he spits one out onto the floor
>picks it up and eats it anyway

>>5002689
Strange thing that worked for my dog - put it in a snuffle matt with all his kibble. I guess he ends up thinking he "foraged" for it, and even if it's not the most palatable thing, he still took pills like that. But he's a weirdo.

>>5002841
If your dog catches food in his mouth you just toss a treat + pill in the air and he will eat both.

Dunno why my dog isn't eating. She'll eat treats but not her regular meals. We were just at the vet yesterday so maybe that fucked with her appetite. She hates the vet and always shakes and pisses all over their floor.

>>5002784
There's a huge off leash dog park with lake I've been taking the budster to, and there's golden retriever club at the beach on the weekend

Looking after a friends French bulldog. Such a fucking fat potato piece of shit

>>5002918
I found out the other day that they're so front heavy with stubby legs that they can't swim, let alone do any rigorous activity with their pushed in muzzle
how they became the most popular dog breed, I will never know

>>5002920
Dog runs for 10 mins outisde and is pantng and drooling back indoors. The dog cant even walk up or down steps or jump. Just a potato looking retard. I hate the dog because these things shouldn't even exist but then i realized he didnt ask for this so i started actually looking after it a bit more until he goes back home. When i pick him up its like picking up a big potato with legs and it starts wheezing and snorting. Its so pathetic.

>>5002918
French bulldogs are just all wrong. Dogs shouldn't have flat faces.

>>5002921
I took my dog down to the park and a chick had her french bulldogs there. They were obviously inbred to the point of retardation but the chick had picked them up in a rescue which is commendable. One of them was literally born without eyes. The other kept taking the toy I brought down to play with my dog and playing tug of war with me which was fine, I don't mind playing with random friendly dogs and my dog likes it too, but the fucking thing was drooling everywhere out of its flat face and it was just disgusting

Like bubbles of drool going all over the toy because the retarded thing was producing so much saliva

>>5002953
I know its fucked up but its not my dog. I pity the little fat shit because he has a nice personality. I think all flat faced dogs should be banned , its animal abuse

>>5002954
>One of them was literally born without eyes.

Euthanizing them would be commendable. Forcing the poor dysgenic wretches to live out the rest of their short little lives in the closest thing to abject misery that their oxygen starved brains can process is just cruel.

>>5002991
Does the nose surgery only help so much?

>>5000482 (OP)
Should I let my dog **** my daughter or put a stop to that? Yesterday he was humping her and she got really giggly about it. She’s only 8 and doesn’t have a habit of being naked too often, so it doesn’t seem like it will accidentally happen anytime soon. But seeing it happen before my eyes was pretty hot I can’t deny.

>see shitty bad of cheap walmart dogfood
>it has the most haggard elderly golden retriever ever on it
>old bastard just looks like he wants to die

lol

>>5002997
Nose surgery isn't going to make the dog grow eyes. I guarantee the nose and eyes are just the tip of the iceberg anyway. It's Charles II of Spain, it's fucked. Grant it the mercy of death and never let the psychopaths who bred it within 100ft of any animal ever again.

>>5002989

Ding dong

I've had my 3 month old pomeranian puppy for a month now. After a rough start with potty training (5+ accidents a day, quite a few of them in her crate) we're down to only 1 accident so far this week. When I take her outside to potty, I give her a treat and praise her whenever she pees or takes a dump. For the past week or so when we're outside, she'll pee and then sometimes pee a second time a few minutes later while I'm waiting for her to take a dump. I praise and reward her for both pees.

My question: Little kids who get rewarded for potty training sometimes realize that they can get a second reward by holding some in and peeing a little a short time later. Is my dog possibly doing this? Should I be rewarding her for both pees?

Other info: I asked the vet if a UTI could be causing these double pees and she said it's very unlikely she has a UTI.

>>5003285
Some dogs just do that. Toy breeds in general are harder to housebreak due to their tiny bladder/bowels, keep at it, anon.

>>5003289
I'll keep giving her a treat each time she pees then.

I probably sound frustrated as hell, but I'm genuinely thrilled by how much progress we've made given how notoriously hard poms are to housebreak. The rest of her training and socialization been going a lot more smoothly.

>>5003293
I'm so glad that our housetraining days are over after many, many pees and poos of grass like surfaces (rugs).
Loose leash walks are still a very work in progress however, especially when every piece of bird shit or trash item is an enticement of the highest value

>>5003293
>I probably sound frustrated as hell, but I'm genuinely thrilled by how much progress we've made given how notoriously hard poms are to housebreak.
It's normal, you're doing a good job. I had to housebreak my mom's Maltese, and that was a pain in the ass. Just remember that this will pass and you've got a lot of years ahead with your furball.

Are American bullies actually a different dog from pitbulls or is it just an attempt to rebrand?

Feeding my dog a little garlic every night with his dinner has almost completely prevented him from getting ticks this year, or it has been a very bad year for ticks...

>>5003388
I do this with one of my cats, but with a normal amount of garlic. Also, I let my cat eat lilies (feeding her the pollen is important for fur health). My cat has no ticks, and it makes her fur shiny.

>>5003391
I do like half a tsp of powder or like 1 clove for a 90lb dog.

>>5003394
I have my dog on simparica, but I do the garlic treatment on my cat since it’s cheaper

>>5003402
The broad spectrum insecticides scare me because I have heard they can cause neurological disorders later in a dogs life. I only used them when my dog and house had a serious flea infestation. 2 months on nexguard and all the fleas were gone from dog and home never to be seen again. I keep some around just in case I find a flea on him, but it has been many months since I've dosed him. Im in an area where lyme disease and heartworm are both basically a non issue as well. If I was somewhere where those serious concerns were an issue I would likely have him on something year round or at least during tick season.

>>5003386
Internet says they're "different" but the internet always lies. However, personal experience with bullies they're friendly to people, but not so dog-friendly. While all the pitbulls I've met have made me feel uneasy because the energy they give off

Dearest /dog/, two of your posters, one with a husky, and another with a german shepherd and a chicken farm, and fucking RUINING /p/. They make everything about them and their stupid fucking drama, shilling shitty oversized cameras with schizo shit like "3d pop tonality", and they SPAMMED A THREAD ABOUT COMPACT CAMERAS TO DEATH because it made them feel insecure about wasting money on professional cameras they don't know how to use! /p/ might never have a lively micro four thirds general ever again because husky fucker and german shepherd chicken farm faggot got mad about their oversized cameras they can barely use not being unequivocal photography improvers! For reference, here is some micro four thirds photography

This is what husky fucker and german shepherd chicken farm faggot were so angry about and wanted dead and buried. Neither of these two faggots have posted a good picture either. Their photos look like fucking SHIT. Multiple people have compared them to phone photos, and the husky fucking faggot is a compulsive liar who purposefully tries to make micro four thirds look bad by renaming the files from his shitty nikon DSLR. The dpreview threads I linked show much better photography than either of those two idiots have ever posted.

Take them back, or we'll have to dox them to get rid of them.

Not participating in your drama spawned contest bruv.

>>5003686
Okay! No skin off my back.
I put effort into making sure the categories are fun and balanced for both cats and dogs, and I'm not even participating in the contest.

I've been wanting to make one of these threads for a long while cause it sounded fun. The perfect time just came up when that guy said he was the best photographer in the world because he was a cat person and I said lets have a contest to see if that's true.

I know there are people that actually care an extreme amount about cat and dog consolewar, but I just see it as a silly and unserious thing. A little healthy competition between the two sides is harmless fun. Kind of like the tripfag vs. Anon photo contest that was held ages ago.

>>5003692
>Starts a literal console war
No thanks bruv

>>5003695
Lol I wouldnt call it that... Did you even look at how I set it up? It's got some really fun categories, and I think they are very fair for both sides.

Consolewars is just gay retards taking themselves way too seriously while being gay retards ad infinitum. Real console warriors are way too cowardly to ever have an honest competion with the opposing side where they could actually lose.
This contest is an opportunity for some healthy competition and to take some creative photos of your cat or dog!


Either way I don't think many people will contribute because most people on here actually hate fun and fun havers so yeah. My hopes aren't high for it.
I'm going to make some photos to share in the thread even if my pics cant qualify for votes/wins. It's going to be a lot of fun!

Can you actually feel a dog's fucking uterus or lack thereof through their fucking intestines and stomach wall, or did this motherfucker seriously just feel up my new dog for no reason right in front of me?

>>5003805
Not sure about feeling for the ovaries but neutered animals are typically tattooed somewhere on their body to indicate they've been spayed.

>>5003809
No this dude was mashing the dog's belly around, he said no uterus and no ovaries
She doesn't have any tattoos and I couldn't find any scars except two on her face, she's gotta be like 5, she's an adult but not old

If your dog starts leaking blood later this year they aren't spayed yet

Yeah, they can tell. I think they feel for the scar though.

Does she have big nips?

teach it how to stay, lie down, high five, and know when YOU are ready to go for a walk

>>5003805
There's a gigantic scar on females if they've been spayed, and males take a 5 second look to see if they've been neutered.

I had a dream where I vored my dog and I died

Feels like I'm gambling, where losing would mean 5+ years of misery.

Making salmon jerky treats for my pup

>>5004427
I heard from a guy that you can get beef lung for real cheap and dehydrate that for another based dog treat.

>>5004435
That's a good idea. I've been doing chicken hearts but wanted to try salmon for a extra special treat. It's kind of expensive.

>>5004439
Oh yeah, especially if you're using wild salmon. I wouldn't feed my dog farmed salmon tbqhwy. I only eat it when I make sushi for myself as a treat once in a while.

Ethnic markets sell dried anchovies/little fishies. Mine didn't love them, but maybe your dog would enjoy. They're pretty cheap.

>>5004299
You can get a high quality puppy from a breeder for $3000 or less. Going out of your way to have mystery meat shipped to you is retarded.

So so chunky.

why are these people like this?
is there really an issue with copying a "raw" dog food diet like Dr Harvey's dog food (not a shill) making it myself and then giving my dog a vitamin supplement? I currently feed my dog Hill's le heckin science based dog food and have been thinking of switching it up possibly due to reading some negatives about mass produced kibble.

>>5004923
Cope and It's against the rules to question/go against the soience. Those completely virtuous vets and purina sponsored doggy diet scientists know exactly what your dog needs.
The main negative I hear about raw is that your dog can start shitting salmonella.

Human grade vitamins are constantly found to be contaminated with heavy metals and harmful impurities. I would bet the standard dog vitamin blend is significantly less pure. You can make a diet that doesn't need the vitamin mix, but it will be a little more expensive.

>>5004926
But the diet I'm looking at isn't raw as in raw meat they just call it raw because it has very basic shit like oats, sweet potatoes, carrots, brown rice, and beans. Look, I'm just trying to make sure my dog eats good he is my best friend after all. I don't want to feed him the equivalent of McDonald's everyday.

>>5004927
Oh, yeah you can 100% feed your dog home cooked meals. Consider getting bloodwork before you start the diet, and then somewhere around 6 months after, so you can make 100% sure you aren't causing any deficiencies.

Oats are really good for dog, but you should only buy organic. Conventional oats have some of the highest levels of residual pesticides of any food.

>>5004923
r/dogfood is unironically ran by kibble shills and they will ban you for talking about raw diets unless you are telling people how bad they are. There is a sub called r/rawpetfood which is pretty good for discussion of raw pet food.

I don't know what Dr harvey's dog food is but dogs can basically get everything they need nutritionally from eating lean meat, edible bones and organs. I mostly feed my dog raw chicken wings, beef mince, beef rib bones, beef liver and kidney, eggs and canned sardines (in water with no salt). Also other random stuff that I buy when it's on sale but all that stuff i mentioned is fairly affordable so that's what makes up the bulk of his diet. He fucken loves crunching up chicken wings.

>>5004927
I don't think oats, sweet potatoes, carrots, brown rice and beans should make up any significant portion of a dogs diet. Dogs need meat.

>>5004944
Oats are very good for dogs. But yeah, mostly meat with a lil bit of oats.

>>5004910

>>5004978
You gets it. I thought that was ai vid for a second...

I need some advice: Over the past couple of months my dogs has repeatedly chewed open his paws. Pic rel shows a more or less healed bite mark from last week in the center and a fresh one on the left where the fur begins (see the newly exposed white skin). Its gotten to the point where I cannot leave him alone anymore because I need to supervise him. Also I cannot go much outside with him because his wounds need to heal and cannot get dirty. I am almost certain he has allergies but I do not know which. We did a blood test a last year which was more or less inconclusive, except that it showed a "minimal allergy towards mites" which are commonly found in food. So we switched and restricted the food and for some time it seemed like this helped but now it seems to me its really some environmental/contact allergy. Do I do a intradermal skin test now? And what can I do in the meantime? Wash the paws daily (ive heard about iodine or saline paw baths)? Wash the fur with some hypo-allergic shampoo weekly? Are there any topical options you might recommend? What about preventative stuff? Thoughts, recommendations, experiences would be very much appreciated.

>>5005176
*fresh one on the right

>>5005176
As a vet, I would recommend you wait until you can take him to a veterinary clinic. Put a cone on him in the meanwhile and check his ears and others parts of his body for rashes/wounds/etc.
If its purely localized in the paws it can be an infection rather than an allergic reaction. Regardless, you will not be able to treat it effectively without knowing what is present in the wounds.

>>5005176
To add: there are times when hes has infections in between his toes too. Small little reddish skin sections which eventually ooze some puss. Usually this heals in 1-2 days after they first appear. There are times when infections are caused by licking/biting (I think from the bacteria in the saliva). But, I am now also wondering if infections also can occur on their own? Because he will get them in areas where it would be really difficult for him to bite open and often I do not see any visible bite marks around the infected areas (like in the previous picture). Like really in the center of two pads when the fur is really thick. I think they sometimes get irritated on their own and maybe it gets worse or infected by licking or from the warm/moist conditions in between the pads.
>>5005180
Thanks for replying. I treat the wounds once with some diluted iodine immediately when I notice it (with a soaked cotton pad). He wears a sock so he cant get to it and if I can supervise him also leave the wound to open (I think contact with the air is helpful?). I also have an antibiotic balm which I put in case I see puss or think an infection is likely. To answer your question. Its really localized to the paws. His skin on other parts never showed anything atypical. Are there any tests you might recommend I do in a clinic?

>>5005186
Well the most basic test should be a simple cytology of the skin of the paw. Likely other places too to compare.
Can't imagine they'll need anything more complicated unless standard treatments fail.

>>5005193
>"can be an infection rather than an allergic reaction"
so something like a recurring/chronic infection that is multifocal, causing flares? As oppose to acute infected areas caused by environmental factors or licking/biting? A cytology could test for this? And, is a cytology still useful if the skin is already healing (maybe some crust or scar tissue that a day or two old)?

/dog/ has veterinarians now.

>>5005206
Yeah a cytology should work still. Yeah could be a infection, but it could also be secondary to a reaction; not much I can say about it from behind a screen.

Our husky is turning 10 this year and had a partial mastectomy and hysterotomy last week. She has breast cancer and now we're told she's got lung cancer and kidney crystals. If the mastectomy doesn't "stick" she will need a full mastectomy. I will not allow such suffering, do not worry. I prefer she lives 1 decent year than 5 shit ones.

My dad is incredibly attached to this dog after my mom split. Our dog has helped him claw himself out of depression. I love my parents. I love my dog. However, I have to be a realist. This dog will die within 5 years.
My mom isn't coming back.
My dad is half the man he used to be.

When is it appropriate to get another dog? Should I wait until after our pup dies or get another dog to transition my dad into relying on the new dog?

We got this husky after 18 years of chihuahuas. There were 3 months we were dogless. Those 3 months felt empty. I want a dog in the house, but my dad needs one.

What would you do in my position?

>>5005288
If the Husky is in good enough condition to keep up with the puppy, I would say sooner is better then later. It helps them to behave better to have an older dog around to learn from, they clearly enjoy having another dog to do dog shit with, and having the overlap makes it feel less like a replacement even if it is.

>>5005299
I will have to wait 3 months before I can consider a puppy after reading your post. I'm worried if I get a pup too soon, our husky might hurt herself. They really sliced her up something fierce at the vet.

>>5005316
That gives you a lot of time to find a good breeder and get on the waiting list for a litter instead of scrambling in the moment, so that works out anyway.

one of my dogs is really weak. he naps a lot and he is a bit flabby. he stands up and goes up stares like a 10 year old dog but hes 1.5 years old. my other dog is really muscular in comparison

>>5005318
Thanks for putting it into perspective I should not allow myself to be rushed into puppy. I never considered there may be waiting lists.

Now the hard part is finding the right dog. I want to go for a mutt, but not one from a shelter. I hate shelters after they gave me grief by demanding a home inspection that I'd have to pay for before I could buy a dog off them.

>>5005378
Mutts are fine, but there's plenty of reasonable breeders who actually do give a shit about the health of their dog, while someone doing backyard breeding of even mutts might not be as smart about ensuring good genetics, and there's something to be said for being able to have a good idea to a dog's general temperament before getting attached to them, especially if you're American and most mutts are going to be pitbull mixes.

Pure bred master race

How do I stop my dog from having hedonism chimpouts? He’s an aussie btw.

Is it bad that this reminded me of all the times my mom bathed her maltese/pom and a little rat was under all that fur?

Is this AI?

>>5005449
Yes.

>>5005449
Do you find it ironic that I ended up with a fat husky?

>>5005498
>>5005779
Three Fatres or some shit.

>>5005779
Cause I used to joke that heather was chunky. Guess not..

>>5005805
