Puppies and a**l glands, help them help themselves. Prepare foods that encourage the release because my pup is p**ping fine but having some issues prior to performing the act. I'm putting the proper additions in her diet to encourage easier release of the a**l glands and p**p. Wish me luck.

You may have heard that it’s okay to express your dog’s a**l glands manually if they’re impacted, but it’s not advisable without veterinary supervision. Dogs should be able to empty their sacs naturally. Sometimes we can help the process by adding some high-fiber foods to their diet. Impacte...

Please! Every dog is NOT friendly, and they can be leash reactive (meaning even if they are normally friendly, they can be more protective of themselves and their owner while leashed! In addition, dogs shouldn’t meet face to face, staring at each other!). Please keep your dog on a leash and respect others who have their dogs leashed! All dogs should also have good manners on leashes…no barking, no weaving around you, and no pulling…it’s safer for them, yourselves and the others around you!

Don't overdo running a young pup. See below, it's true.

This is something everyone should see. This xray is of a 2 week old puppy.

When you get your 8/10 week old puppies, please keep this image in mind. Their bones do not even touch yet. They plod around so cutely with big floppy paws and wobbly movement because their joints are entirely made up of muscle, tendons, ligaments with skin covering. Nothing is fitting tightly together or has a true socket yet.

When you run them excessively or don't restrict their exercise to stop them from overdoing it during this period you don't give them a chance to grow properly. Every big jump or excited bouncing run causes impacts between the bones. In reasonable amounts this is not problematic and is the normal wear and tear that every animal will engage in.

But when you're letting puppy jump up and down off the lounge or bed, take them for long walks/hikes, you are damaging that forming joint. When you let the puppy scramble on tile with no traction you are damaging the joint.

You only get the chance to grow them once. A well built body is something that comes from excellent breeding and a great upbringing-BOTH, not just one.

Once grown - around 12-18 months depending on their breed, you will have the rest of their life to spend playing and engaging in higher impact exercise. So keep it calm while they're still little baby puppies and give the gift that can only be given once.
