All about dogs - dog breeds, dog training and behavior, news affecting dog owners or handlers, puppy pics, etc.

Rules (Will be refined later on).

  1. Don't be a dick. This should cover most things, just keep in mind that everyone started somewhere and try to be helpful rather than rude or judgmental.

  2. No personal attacks based on training style or tools.
    Discussion of balanced training including proper use of aversives is allowed here.

  3. All breeds and mixes are welcome. You can criticize backyard breeding practices but don't pile on people because they own a specific breed or prefer purebreds or mixed breeds.

  4. Do not support backyard breeders or puppy mills. Please do not link to or suggest buying from high volume breeders or those with an obvious lack of standards and testing.

  5. Do not help or support fake service animals. Please do not encourage people to buy fake service dog vest or ESA letters to get around rental or other restrictions & do not give advice on how to misrepresent a dog as a service or support animal.

Every pizza is pizza for my dog

Thing like garlic and onions are toxic for dogs, both of which are in pizza sauce

Fortunately, it sounds like the LD50 is pretty high.

Scientific studies have found it takes approximately 15 to 30 grams of garlic per kilogram of body weight to produce harmful changes in a dog’s blood. To put that into perspective, the average clove of supermarket garlic weighs between 3 and 7 grams, so your dog would have to eat a lot to get really sick.

Still best to avoid it if possible, obviously.

There is a lot of space between no effect and getting really sick.

Some mild stomach ache or other kind of discomfort can still be, well, uncomfortable, even if your dog will survive, so don't feed him shit just because it is not going to kill him.

Yeah - for any dog with a strong enough stomach, any pizza is dog pizza

My dad always bought McDoubles for our pug. I don't know how the fuck that dog lived to be like twelve before dying. I guess McDoubles are really good for pugs. You probably shouldn't have fed him McDoubles, dad. Rest in peace to both of you.
