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.

Found these weird looking tick-like creatures on my cat's chin. Any idea what they are? Attaching a zoomed out picture for scale.

Hello. Is it possible for Kuddle to train my dog just for leash walking and staying calm? Somehow he gets over excited when I try to take him out and cannot control him. He is not aggressive at all but just gets over excited and tries to set himself free from the leash.
