Root canal on dog costs? Vet treatment
My dog has chipped his carnassial tooth I believe, and will most likely need root canal as these teeth are usually saved than removed. My insurance will not cover it as it was done whilst chewing a chew toy and not by “accident by trauma”. Any idea how much this’ll cost? Thanks! We are in the West Midlands and he’s with a…

dog burps loudly after eating
My dog has always been a reluctant eater, he is 9 now and seems almost afraid to eat. He trembles and then slinks away when I put his food out and only with persuasion will he eat it. He must be eating enough as he's a normal weight but the palaver getting him to eat is ridiculous! Recently he has been burping loudly after…

Questions for dog walkers
What time of day is your last walk of the day with your dog and how far do you go? I usually go out about 8pm and we walk roughly 2 miles, more if he hasn't pooped yet. Other dog walkers that I have spoken to go out at about the same time but don't walk as far as I do so it just got me wondering.
