Before posting this question I was talking to my vet and also I was talking to one of my friends asking for advice. I took my dog into the vet to get a test done to see if she had a UTI. I suspected that she did because she was peeing blood. So of course the test came back and she basically...

Hi everyone! I’m new here, my name is Laura and I have a Border Collie/Lab named Tessa. Tessa is a bit of a puller, not too bad normally but we couldn’t get out much with her last year when she was a pup because of Covid so she gets really excited in new places and around other dogs. She’s...
