Hi Ashley, your dog got into the biscuits did he! 

Depending on how many hes eaten look out for him throwing up, loose runny stools and obvious stomach bloating and pain. 

If he gets these 3 symptoms you need to take him to a Vet. Hopefully he will be alright but go easy on feeding him especially today and tomorrow. It takes up to 48 hours for food to go through a dogs system and it would be wise to let all these biscuits pass through before you give him more food on top. 

Hope hes ok! 

Nothing happen and they still acted like themselves

It takes time for a new dog to get used to his new people and surroundings. They all do it at their own pace. I strongly urge you to consult a behavioral trainer so that you introduce him and socialize him the best way possible especially since he’s an older dog that can easily have a lot of baggage. Meanwhile, just love him, give him time to trust you. As your relationship grows and he sees you as his leader, protector and family he will be more likely to trust others and situations that he is placed in with you. All these wonderful things that we share with our pets take time and a lot of patience. I just adopted a 2.5 year old Great Dane, we love him dearly. He wasn’t socialized well, if at all, and he can be a lot to handle, he’s having to “learn” how to play in an acceptable manner with our other dogs and even with us just throwing a ball. Just remember that coming to your home, even with all your love, is a huge adjustment to him. It takes the average dog about 6 weeks to acclimate to their new surroundings and begin to feel calm and secure in their new home with their new people. Trainers with behavioral expertise can give you tons of advice, to-dos, not to-dos and offer you a world of information. I can promise you that a consultation with one will help you to understand things we never thought about with adopted dogs – you will learn so much and it will help you bond even faster. I can tell you that time will change things and that you can never have a more devoted dog than one who has been rescued. Wishing you much luck and love with your new baby.

i’d get him in, particularly if it’s anywhere near teeth.

a vet would really need to take a look at it to truly determine what it is.

Sorry about your pup!! Well, first, go to a rescue and get a puppy there! Most of the time, they have been vaccinated and have had a parvo shot! All puppies should have had their first set of vaccinations before you bring them home. Most are dewormed too and its all included in the adoption price. There is no guarantee. My rescue puppy had parvo too, at 7 weeks old, he was sick two day after I brough him  home, but my vet saved his life and he survived.  He is 8 years old now. Just make sure you know where you’re getting your puppy from. No pet shops! Best place is a rescue! Good luck!

what else are you feeding her?  has she been to a vet?

hmm. that definitely doesn’t sound like enough. i’d take her to the vet to see if there’s something else wrong.

have you offered her pinkies?

Hello Brandon…well done for giving this dog a home. 

Firstly you really do need to take her to a Vet. Not only to see if she’s microchipped (she may actually belong to a worried owner) but she is obviously not in good health and needs checking over. All new pets should be checked by a Vet within the first 3 days of getting them.

That said she needs worming and a flea treatment, also heart worm meds if they are prevalent in your area. She needs a top quality food, small meals and often. Split her daily allowance between 4 or 5 meals to start with, as she gains fitness and body weight you can gradually knock them down to a meal morning and evening.

Glucosamine is a good bone/joint supplement as is Wild Salmon Oil which will also improve her skin and coat.

I do hope you and take her to the Vet as that is honestly what she needs. If she hasn’t been spayed it would be a good idea to have her done

Good

Sounds like separation anxiety, which a trainer could give you advice on. Also, a “snout slap”..that is a form of abuse, please, don’t let anyone hit your beloved puppy!!

Just as a follow up, I do not agree with any form of hitting, or threatening with anyone’s pets. The reason he was boarded was to combat the separation anxiety. And as I said, even though my dad is 89 and “old school” he has agreed to never raise a hand or yell and we are now watching out for each other to curb any bad behaviour on our part. My worry is that after two weeks of boarding/training to curb the separation anxiety my boy was anxious again and not happy about me leaving him.

Likely stress
Make sure you’re giving established kitty attention
Supervise play
Perhaps a pheromone collar or feliway
