Hello and welcome to Boop by Petco. With Moonlight, I recommend you take him to the vet for a check-up. Your vet will likely recommend vaccines and deworming, along with flea and tick prevention. You can also ask your vet what the best food to feed Moonlight is, as this will vary from location to location. You should also get Moonlight neutered at 4 months of age. Best of luck with Moonlight!

Is this new behavior by your boyfriend or has your boyfriend just started to come around more? If so, Luna certainly could be stressed by this or protesting. Make sure Luna and your boyfriend get plenty of bonding time and maybe he can feed her, walk her or even give her some dog treats throughout the day to help. Whether he is new or not, you may consider putting a calming collar on her like adaptil or sentry. If This doesn’t work, I would talk to your vet about putting her on an anti-anxiety medicine like fluoxetine. I hope this helps!

Moonlight is such a handsome dog!! From your pictures I suspect that Moonlight has what is known as a hotspot, or moist dermatitis. You need to take him to your regular vet to have the area looked at to be sure. Your vet will likely want to shave the fur from the area and clean it thoroughly. Some hotspots respond well to topical treatment, others require systemic medications such as antibiotics and steroids. These areas of dermatitis/infection can get larger very very quickly, and can be very irritating and painful. They often are associated with some type of allergy, so your vet may need to discuss allergy testing/treatment/food trials with you as well. I hope you are able to get Moonlighy feeling better very soon!

Thanks for using Boop by Petco! This is likely behavioral in nature and it may be just while she realizes it is you. You can check in with your veterinarian for an eye exam to make sure that it is nothing that has to do with her vision. Otherwise, this may improve with time. Best of luck!

Leo is old enough to be a teenager now and hormonal. Neutering him may help because intact males are more prone to roaming to look for mates. Although we can't be sure, this may be his reason to not want to come home. When you get up and walk him when he barks, you are rewarding his behavior and so he will keep doing it. Ignore him, correct him or distract him. Not allowing him to sleep all day and instead of walking, try something more vigorous like a game of fetch to tire him out. Here is an article about excessive barking which may help: https://www.petcoach.co/article/excessive-barking-a-common-behavior-problem/ Best of luck.
