My dog has sensitive skin and can scratch quite a bit. My Vet and I chose to try External Wind Chinese Teapills. A herbal remedy anti-histamine; works well on her. 1 every 12 hours. I give her 2 depending on the Seasons and environment she is in. If she doesn't have them she a will start scratching.

Grew up with Cock-a-poos. I'm 57. I married my "Only Big Dogs" loving husband 17 years ago. He thought this breed would be a lap dog. Mine is 16 lbs., non-shedding/hypoallergenic, fantastic with Grandchildren, other dogs, a hiker, adaptable, SMART, trainable. He is in love. So fun! Highly Recommend!

Hi Alyssa, I'm sure by now you've heard and gotten on the new http://Rover.com FB Sitter referral page? If not, it's awesome. Ask to join and give it a try.

Thanks so much Shane. I hope to never use it either but have a nursing background from a long time ago and feel it could be useful just in case. I couldn't find a resource. I've already checked them out and e-mailed them. I appreciate you!

I would like to take a Canine CPR and first aide course for my own peace of mind. Anyone have experience with this?

I am new at this with a successful first stay last weekend. I have learned so many tips, Rover supports, and a learning curve while reading this. I am sorry for this poor experience Ashley, but by bringing this here you are helping fellow sitters not be in the same situation and to know what to do.

The growl is a lower tone; more serious. The teeth are shown fully, quiver during the growl. Hackles up, tail between legs. Eyes are hooked on opponent. An aluminum spoon banged on a pot to startle works as well. Use a broom to push the fur balls apart and back.
