Sometimes if dogs are outside they may eat or breath in small burrs or parts of burrs, give them some melted butter and see if that relieves it.
Some people try vaseline on their paws that they lick off.

LOL Cyb, you are wrong! Just because one person does something and gets away with it without any problems doesn’t mean everyone will, and it certainly doesn’t mean the information is false! There are exceptions to everything, but more often than not, these foods are harmful to dogs!

I’m not sure what you mean when you say it’s all about money? That statement makes no sense in the context of this post.

this is rubbish, my mother in law feeds her dogs everything, and they are at old age and healthy… it’s all about the money, money, money…

I hope you can help us with our mixed-breed dog. We adopted our male shepherd/golden retriever mix (we think, anyway–he looks like a blond German shepherd with a bit of a mane) a few years ago, and he has been a wonderful addition to our family with one exception–he has developed an aggressive attitude with others, especially males. Normally it isn’t an issue unless he manages to get out of the house. When he gets out unrestrained (which he tries to do if the kids are outside because he wants to be with them)he roams the neighborhood and has been known to chase and snap at people, especially if they try to get away from him regardless of whether he was chasing them.

He had to be quarantined once because he bit a neighbor’s fifteen-year-old and we sent our dog to live with our in-laws, but today he escaped when he lunged for their mailman. He ran around their neighborhood and tried to enter a UPS truck, and he scared my mother-in-law by his unpredictable behavior to the point that she doesn’t feel they can keep him. She wants to send him to the animal shelter, but is there any way we can train him not to chase and bite? Is there any hope for him? How would we correct a behavior that happens only rarely?
