Hello everyone, So, my 7 month old Labrador, Mylo got her first heat cycle. This started since yesterday. As I am completely new to parenting a pet, I would like to get some advice for the best care tips during this phase to ease her and calm her down. She is resistant to diapers. How do I go about it to ensure a certain level of hygiene too? Thank you.

You can put the diaper on and keep an eye on her for a day she will get used to it! My dogs were pretty normal just ate less and were picky on what they ate

She can be maintained as usual with some additional precautions during walks to avoid approach of other dogs and more vigilance to prevent her from running out of the house . Diaper use is preferably only for short essential durations ,not continuously as it sometimes leads to rashes or UTI if not changed regularly
Dr. Anukarna Singh
Most of them will maintain a fairly good level of hygiene by themselves naturally and lick any excess discharge . Though staining of linen can be an issue

Thank you so much for the valuable inputs. Will keep in mind. Just one more question though. How long does a cycle last usually? And, I forgot to mention that she has been shedding a lot just before the cycle started. Is that normal too?

Is there any way or any device to notify the family members when a stray cat enters your pet’s boundaries(inside and outside home).
To be specific anything like an alarm that could ring and scare away the stray cat, to ensure that they don’t fight and hurt each other!
My pet cat is scared and I want her to be safe.
A little back story : The stray jumped in through the open window and started a fight in one of the rooms when people were not present in there. Surprisingly and randomly, someone entered the room and found out about the stray and injuries on both cats was avoided.1 comments•39 views

My pet feels very anxious the moment I leave her alone in the room. She pees near the gate almost always. I've tried giving her some slow treats while leaving the room but she brings that and sits near the gate, and sits and whines. Any suggestions?6 comments•44 views
