Why does my dog eat other dogs' (and her own) pooh? Is it harmful? Should I be giving her a supplement? Her current diet is dry food (adult Supercoat plus vegetables, raw or cooked), but no potato, tomato, or eggplant. She loves celery and carrots as treats, but as special treats she has kangaroo ligaments or pig's ear when she has to stay home alone for a lengthy time. As she is a dachshund, I try to keep the weight at a reasonable level. She gets walked a good deal.

My dog, Boris, a 4-year-old Bouvier, exhibits several concerning behaviors: excessive panting, lip licking, swallowing, and gagging, especially at night, and rubbing his cheeks and nose against surfaces after drinking or eating. Could these symptoms be related to chronic acid reflux or allergies, and what steps can be taken to address them?

My dog, Olive, an Airedale Terrier, just got groomed last Thursday. She has bumps all over her back where the hair was clipped short. Could this be razor burn or another issue, and should I be concerned?

My 9-year-old pug, Jake, has had two episodes of diarrhea and his stomach is a little bloated. He was fed steak fries by my roommate on Monday and Tuesday. He is a little lethargic and drank a little water yesterday. Can I give him Pepto Bismol?
