Understanding your dog’s sleeping habits and bedtime body language can tell you a lot about your pup. If your dog sleeps on your bed, you’ve probably woken up to find their bum facing you. There are several reasons why this happens, and most of them are pretty benign. These include comfort, ventral contact, trust, protection, eye contact, wanting to be left alone, territory marking, petting, and parasites.

As a new dog parent, it’s safe to say you’re head over heels for your new best friend, but at the same time, a little frustrated by their puppy behavior. Chewing, biting, and jumping are common in puppies — they can be a handful! But remember, puppies are just babies.

Getting a new puppy comfortable with routine care and basic hygiene is critical to their long-term wellness. That way, when it comes time for baths or nail trims, it'll be a breeze for both of you. Trust us — it's worth it to put in the effort now for a lifetime of a clean, healthy pup!

Scenthound’s 24/7 on-demand chat with a vet allows you to communicate with a licensed veterinarian through messaging in the Scenthound app.

We love our pups and want them to have the happiest, healthiest, and longest life possible. That said, we need to keep an eye on their weight. Dog obesity is a real problem — the Association for Pet Obesity Prevention reports that more than 50% of dogs are overweight — and it can cause all sorts of health issues…

Dog parents can often tell when their pup isn’t feeling well. Instead of jumping in the car and heading to the veterinarian’s office, virtual vet appointments give pet parents access to care from the comfort of their own homes.

New Year’s Eve is filled with anticipation and hope for the coming year, but what is exciting for us can be downright frightening to most dogs.

Holiday hazards lurk around the corner for dogs, but with the right precautions, it can be a fun and festive time for all! Your pup is a part of the family and it’s fun to involve them in holiday celebrations. Some holiday foods can be toxic to dogs. Plants traditionally used at Christmas, like poinsettia, holly, and mistletoe, are toxic. Electrical cords and decorations also pose safety risks for dogs.

Discover ways to keep your dog safe from holiday decorations this year. Many live trees are non-toxic but their needles can pose health risks to your dog. Ornaments, lights, and especially tinsel are dangerous to dogs if ingested or stepped on. Limiting access to your tree and decorations is the easiest way to keep your dog safe.

Halloween can be dangerous for your dog. Candy, loud noises, and toys can all be harmful and, in some cases, fatal for a dog. Putting an ID tag on your pup or microchipping him will help you find him if he gets loose.

Dogs can eat some Halloween candies but others can be toxic. Dogs shouldn’t eat any treat in excess, and chocolate and artificial sweeteners like xylitol must be avoided completely. Prevention is key!
