For picky eaters, I add a little water and heat up the food for 15 seconds in the microwave. This works 90% of the time. For extremely picky pups, I stir in a spoonful of sour cream. They always gobble that up!

Some do it for aesthetics, others do it for working dogs or to protect injury prone dogs. My friend has Great Danes that wag so excitedly that they have broken their tails multiple times on door frames, the fireplace, furniture, etc. She decided to have her new puppy's tail docked to save him from future problems.

Whenever I fly with my dog the cabin-pressure changes hurt his ears. He is usually only in minor discomfort but sometimes he will yelp and cry (which is out of character). What can I do to help him pop his ears?

Your toothpaste in the palm-of-hand tip is genius!
