I just got a new puppy named Arthur, a 10-week-old Miniature Schnauzer. He cries and barks when I put him in his playpen or crate while I'm working, especially if he can see me. He's most content on my lap, but I don't want to create that as a habit. How can I prevent over-coddling him and encourage proper behavior without causing him distress?

I’m not sure if my dog ate a couple of grapes. My daughter left her plate where the dog could reach. The dog weighs 10-12 lbs and is a 6-year-old Dachshund mix named Bella. What should I do?

My dog, Bebé, who is almost 14 years old, has been stumbling to the left side, with her head tilted to the left, and she won't eat or drink but will eat treats/apples. She is acting differently than usual. What could be the issue and what should I do?

My dog, Lilo, a 2-year-old spayed female, has been acting lethargic and depressed for a couple of months, showing decreased appetite that has worsened recently. She has been wobbly when standing, drooling more than usual, and clearing her throat frequently after eating. She has not shown signs of pain and is up-to-date on her vaccines. What could be causing these symptoms and what should I do?
