Facebook X Pinterest Reddit Share via Email Print As if dog vomit isn’t already enough to turn an owner’s stomach, what about those precious pooches who consider their vomit as another chance at a second meal? Just the sounds alone (retch… spew… slurp) can cause some pup owners to dry heave without even witnessing the repulsive event. Fortunately, my pup isn’t one to partake in his throw-up as an exciting new meal, but many dogs do. Of course, this begs the question, why do dogs eat their...

Image credit: Saklakova, ShutterstockMost of us dog owners know our furry friend’s potty routines all too well. Maybe yours, like my pup Tiny, drops a deuce twice a day like clockwork. Or you could have one that saves it up for a massive daily dump. But what if your pup suddenly abandons their normal pooping schedule? Does that mean something’s wrong?

“Breeding French Bulldogs should be illegal.”I’ve seen this statement countless times on social media and in various news articles over the last few years.
