Daniel Barajas+FollowWhy I Never Let My Dog Drink From These BowlsJust found out those communal water bowls outside shops and parks are a big no-no for pups! A vet nurse on TikTok says they’re basically germ hotspots—think kennel cough, parasites, and even E. coli. You never know how clean they are or what’s been in them (wildlife, anyone?). The tip: always pack your own water and a travel bowl for walks. Your dog’s tummy will thank you! Anyone else already doing this or totally shocked? #DogSafety #PetTips #DogMom #DogParent #VetAdvice #DogHealth #Pets478Share
EmilyHart+Followwalks aren’t just steps—they’re scroll time for dogs 🐾ever wonder why your dog’s obsessed with sniffing every pole, poop pile, and patch of grass? turns out, that’s their version of doomscrolling. it’s not gross to them—it’s info. sniffing = mental workout. walking = physical workout. both matter, but most people rush walks like it’s a race. try slowing down and letting your dog smell the world a bit. they’ll come home way calmer. 🚫 and don’t walk right after meals! especially if you’ve got a big dog. that bloated belly can twist and turn into a life-or-death emergency. wait at least an hour before heading out. you’re not just walking your dog’s legs—you’re walking their brain too. #dogwalktips #doghealth #sniffmore1333Share
EmilyHart+Followwhy is my dog suddenly curling up and shaking?Not every limp or whine is obvious—dogs are so good at hiding pain. But here’s what to watch for before it gets serious: 1️⃣ Arched back – especially if they stay that way. It could mean stomach pain. 2️⃣ Constant stretching – like they’re doing yoga? That “prayer pose” is often a pain signal. 3️⃣ Curled up all day – not the cute cozy kind. If they avoid stretching out, something’s off. 4️⃣ Shivering or trembling – and it’s not cold? Might be nerve or internal pain. 5️⃣ Sudden mood swings – if your sweet pup turns grumpy or sad, that’s a red flag. If you’re seeing even one of these, it’s vet time. Trust their body language—they’re not just “having a weird day.” #doghealth #petparents #vetcheck695Share
samantha19+FollowMy Dog’s Health Scare: Blood, Vomit, and $1000 Bill?!My poor pup has been throwing up and having diarrhea for nearly three days with no relief. This morning, it got worse—blood in the stool and more blood in the vomit. I freaked out and skipped work to rush to the vet. They couldn't pinpoint the cause but noticed my dog had a fast heart rate and dehydration. After describing the symptoms, they recommended a blood test, X-rays, and overnight observation. Of course, the bill came out to $1,000 (even after some stuff was cut out). I felt like a broke single mom—struggling to pay the vet and even sneaking a peek at my bank balance to see if I could afford it. The emotional toll was real. Does anyone have tips on handling these unexpected vet bills? 🙏 #PetHealth #VetBills#DogHealth162Share
