Phoebe is 1yr old now. She weighs 28-29 kgs. And is very active. Two things that's bothering me - she doesn't look big, even though her weight falls well in the normal range. She's typically the most bullied in her dog friends in the neighbourhood! (huskies, retrievers) - she's a very fussy eater. We really have to persuade a lot. And she wastes half of the food. She does not eat dry dog food at all. We try rice with curd and chicken, veggies, lentils.. Sometimes dosa, chapathi. She'd not eat 5 out of 10 times. I tried the 10 min rule where I took off the bowl if she doesn't eat in that 10 mins. But doesn't seem to work. Any suggestions to address these concerns are much appreciated!

Hi sir..Since your pet is 1 year she has a healthy weight..kindly socialize your pet with other well trained dogs, Socialization builds confidence and comfort with new dogs.. It helps find their place in a pack which is a huge confidence booster ..A well socialized dog will be outgoing and uninhibited while meeting new people, animals and being introduced to new places and will be v. active and exploratory.

Kindly restrict access to sneaky snacks and treats, Try making your pets food more appealing.. Try adding healthy toppers ( cucumbers, grated cheese, ghee etc). Always give warm food. Give them lots of praise when your pet eats food on her own from their bowl.

If your pet is not interested in eating at all, your pet could be unwell..kindly schedule an appointment with vet for a general check up.

Hi... My shihtzu is 4 months old and has been itching all over. His Skin looks nice and baby pink and cannot find any ticks or fleas on him since hes got so much hair. What could be the reason for itching under his belly and mainly on his neck. Cannot find any redness. Could it be dry skin in this weather. What can I do. I have bathed him once 15 days ago but hes been itching even before that .. though the itching has increased quite a bit. Can we use diluted ACV for such a small puppy to stop the itch.?? If so, what is the proportion and how often?
