| answered a question | Why is my dog eating grass? It can aid in digestion! |
| answered a question | How often should I wash my dog? Definitely bathe a dog as needed (like if they're muddy or otherwise dirty) but you don't need to bathe them often. You will want to buy specific shampoo for dogs for the previously mentioned ph level issue. If the dog has a long coat I would recommend a dryer just so you don't run into any fungus issues. If the dog has a short coat, towel or air drying should be fine. |
| answered a question | How can I tell if my dog is pregnant? If you suspect it (such as previously mentioned, the dog got out during a heat or you saw her tie with a male) no reason not to take her to the vet to get checked. Otherwise, the other indicators mentioned can hint at a possible pregnancy. |
| answered a question | Why does my dog follow me everywhere? There could be a lot of reasons! The first is that the dog might just like you and enjoy being around you. Your dog might be curious about what you're doing, or wants to keep an eye on you. Maybe the dog is expecting a reward of some kind, either attention, a treat, or dropped food. Whatever the case, there is something rewarding about following you. If you want to start working on separation, it might be good to play crate games, or otherwise establish other safe, rewarding places to be. There's a lot of good training material on Youtube and on blogs that address this! |
| answered a question | Do Yorkies shed? Yes they do, but it is not going to be like a dog that has fur, nor like dogs that have double coats (like huskies!). The shedding should be minimal. |
