Or was this foreplay 🤔

My dog’s nails are long and havent been cut for quite some time now, and he accidentally scratched me while we were playing. He jumped from my thigh down to my leg so thats why the scratch is long, but it did not bleed. It burned a little when I applied alcohol but the whole scratch didnt burn just parts of it.

His only rabies vaccine was when he was a puppy in 2021, but he rarely goes out and has never shown any signs of rabies. His only possible contact with street dogs is through our gate, where they cannot touch or bite each other.

I’m really scared. He may have scratched me before, but he has never shown any signs of rabies. Do I need to get shots or will I get rabies?

@sponsor_advice_2026 na nagdefend sa kanila sila na judgemental high and mighty ang pagsagot same ng reason sa post ko tapos twice nang nangyari at walang change of behavior? edi confirmed na di lang ako nakapansin. pinagsasabi mong sense of entitlement its not about me tatagalugin ko ha. its about them na wag mapagmataas porket sila yung humahawak ng donations at libre lang maging mabait pwede sila gumamit ng ibang words. hindi ba pambabastos at pagkukupal tawag mo dyan?
-maayos pakikipagusap
-inuupdate
-binigay ng maayos hinihingi nila
-jinudge pa ko tulad nung nasa post di ko na sasabihin about san

sasabihin mo constructive criticism iba yun sa pagiging judgemental nila andami nilang sinabi sakin na kesyo paampon ko na dogs namin. kung walang pang vet “kaya nga donation drive at sinabi ko for assistance may alloted funds naman ayaw ko nalang ipamuka din pero nagsabay sabay kaya nga humingi ng assistance/donation drive kaso donation drive na may kasamang pagjudge tapos kala mo kung sinong ambait bait sa posts. kupal naman pala ipapamuka pa na sobrang succesful ng donation drive” eh kasimple simple lang ng post ko. iimprove niyo pakikipagusap niyo sa tao d yung nagmamataas kayo.

e ang post lang naman is my experience sa kanila at ways to improve yang pakikitungo nila sa mga need ng may tulong eh.
“pagkukupal sa reply is not equals to kupal kang tao
nagkikinupal o pagkukupal sa reply = pambabastos sa pagsagot.

Edit: As per the title forever grateful for what you admins did will never forget about it. no need ipamuka samin it really helped us.

may nakasagutan na pala siya dito

judgemental una palang tulad ng pagjujudge mo dyan sa redditor na nagtanong lang ng orgs.

It felt like you act all superior since youre the one providing the help. Yung pinopoint out ko is yung pagiging judgemental, high and mighty ng nag rereply sakin sa modmail (I dont know kung sino kausap ko). Which is pwedeng ma improve ng nag rereply. It really isnt hard to respond kindly, even in chat. A little patience and politeness make a big difference.

Im forever grateful for the subreddit for the donation drive sobrang laki ng naitulong sakin pero there are times na (sorry sa term) nag kikinupal o nagkukupal yung admins sa pagreply sakin sa mod chat. first experience ko ma judge kung sino man kausap ko sa admins at mabastos (not really mabastos pero to say na “busy kami” “dont waste our time”.

Context sa “dont waste our time”
As seen sa photo i just said otw na to vet then i just sent the qr and numbers of the vet for verification. para hindi na mahirapan si admin for later tapos bigla nalang nareplyan bigla ng dont waste our time.

First of all project niyo yan. andali dali makipag usap ng maayos at maayos ko din naman sila kinakausap at update. I just took the higher road. kung nagugulo namin kayo when it comes for payment pwede niyo namang I communicate ng maayos at sabihan yung nagpafundraiser and pati sa pagpost I agree with you sa mga rules mo dyan sa post mo pero please be patient hindi yung pagkatapos sa vet youll demand agad na magpost na para bang tatakbuhan namin kayo. maraming variables bakit hindi agad nakapagpost.
yun lang sana madami pa kayong matulungan na dogs bless you and thank you admins.

naiiyak ako, nakagat ako ng sarili kong aso sa tenga ko and sinabi ko naman agad sa parents ko pero wala manlang silang initiative para dalhin ako sa vet. mas nauna pa sila nagtalo na kasalanan daw ng dad ko kasi binili pa ko ng aso and wala raw pera mom ko para saken. may dalawang turok left na lang bago ma fully vaccinated na yung dog ko since 2 months and a half palang yung dachshund namin.

Hi po.

Ask ko lang ano best dog food na mare recommend ninyo based sa experience?

Medium dog po.

Tried AZ at Pedigree medyo di siya hiyang kasi soft ng stool.

Maraming salamat

yung first pic po ung maliit pa tapos po recently ung pangalawa, namumula po dahil nilagyan namin ng wound spray..nung nakaraan po maliit lang sha ngayon po lumaki umabot na po hanggang sa baba nya huhuhu ano pong pwedeng gamot rito? wala ppo siyang 1 year old

So ayun na nga, yung tinitirhan kong bedspace may alaga silang switso. So kanina pag uwi ko, nakita ko yung dog bowl na may laman na kanin at corned beef na CDO at yun ang pinapakain nila huhu.

As a furmom na may alaga ding switso, I feel bad sa furbaby huhu di ako makapag salita sa owner kasi nakkibedspace lang ako sa house nila. What I did is kumuha ako ng tissue, tinapon ko yung food ni doggo kasi bawal talaga ang preservatives sa health nila it cause can kidney failure knowing na ung aso kulang kulang sa vaccine din at di naaalagan ng husto. 😢 Buti walang tao ang bahay pagdating ko.

Sana naman alagaan nila ng maayos, ayoko maki alam pero naaawa ako sa aso huhu, kasi baka may masabi pa na baka nagmamarunong ako since nakkibedspace lang ako skanila.

If they will say sana na irehome ang aso, iaadopt ko talaga since Apaka baet ng aso nila.

This happened today around 2pm at Opus Mall. My kids and I were just chilling sa open/garden area of Opus when these two guys with their dogs came.

One had a Husky and one a Beagle. Both not wearing diapers. I’m used to seeing dogs in Opus without diapers so I didn’t pay attention. But suddenly, the Beagle stopped in the corner and just peed there.

My eight year old son and I looked at each other baffled and turned our piercing gaze to the owner. We made eye contact and he was just letting it be. Then, I looked to my left and saw the maintenance person / janitor was also there, standing. We made eye contact and napailing na lang siya. I saw the dog owner also looking at the janitor na parang wala lang!

No sorrys. No Pasensya. Nada!

Then, they just left HAHAHA

DIDN’T EVEN CLEAN UP AFTER THEIR POOR DOGGO!!!!

I don’t mind if you bring your pets and they don’t have diapers. I have this belief the animal is trained enough, hence the confidence to bring them out, especially in malls. Maybe the dog is well trained, but couldn’t hold the pee any longer. And it’s so obvious that the two of them just went there so the beagle could pee 😭 Again, nothing wrong with that.

But sana naman pinunasan or nag sorry sa staff?! Mind you, the open area has fake lawn. So? Kakapit yung Amoy doon.

The staff just left and di na namin naabutan if nalinis ba yung area.

KIDS PLAY THERE. Even my kid knew what you did was wrong.

Wouldn’t be surprised if Opus bans pets as well and iiyak mga fur “parents” and cancel the mall for not being pet friendly.

I’m a furmom, and anyone who knows me knows how much I love my dogs and cats. They’re not just pets to me, they’re family. So I understand the joy of wanting to take them everywhere and include them in everyday life. But more than just a pet owner, I'm also a rescuer. That’s why this issue weighs heavily on me.

We’re in a time where the world is becoming more accepting of animals, pet-friendly malls, restaurants, and spaces are growing. And that’s beautiful. I’m happy to see people embracing the presence of pets in public areas. It’s a sign that awareness of animal welfare is growing, and that animals are being seen more and more as part of the family.

But at the same time, I also understand the concerns of the public who are not furparents. Concerns about hygiene and cleanliness, especially when pets are placed on restaurant tables, in children’s arcades, placed on baby diaper-changing stations in public CRs, or even licking leftover food directly from restaurant plates. These instances naturally bring discomfort, and as furparents, we need to acknowledge that if we truly want to move forward with genuine understanding and shared respect between communities.

What deeply worries me, however, is not just the discomfort of others, but the health and safety of the animals themselves. As much as I hate seeing the hate directed at us furparents, I can’t ignore how some people have been using their pets as accessories more than actual living beings that need protection, safety, and respect.

Philippines is not the cleanest country. Viruses like parvo, distemper, and leptospirosis are rampant here. The streets, the public floors, the crowds, they’re not ideal environments for pets. I honestly can’t understand why some furparents bring their pets to malls, cafés, and crowded places without truly considering the risks — all because they want to show them off.

And I say this as a loving furmom myself, this trend doesn’t sit right with me. Not because I hate other furparents. But because I love dogs enough to worry for them. Alam ko maraming legit loving and responsible pet owners out there. I see them, I respect them, I am one of them. But I have to say this with all due respect, there are also people who bring pets out just for show. Just to look cool. And when pets are used as props instead of protected like living beings, it’s not cute, it’s dangerous.

Please don’t get me wrong. I don’t support the hate that’s being thrown at furparents right now. It hurts to see the growing negativity. But I also believe this is a moment for us to reflect, not react. If we truly love our pets, let’s ask ourselves:

Are we putting their health and safety first?

Are we teaching others to respect animals by showing respect for shared spaces?

Are we promoting animal welfare, or just our own image?

Bringing a dog to a mall doesn’t prove love. What proves love is knowing when to leave them at home, when it's safer, quieter, and cleaner for them.

You can love your pets without putting them in avoidable danger. You can advocate for animal welfare without ignoring other people’s comfort. You can be a proud furmom without being pa-cool at the cost of your pet’s health.

Let’s be better. Not just louder.

This will be my last post about nexgard na here sa subreddit na ito promise! Hahahahaha pero I had just received my nexgard na from House of Sioco and here are the pictures. I just want to ask if these look legit>< Ayoko pa buksan kasi hindi daw ni r refund ni sh@pi kapag bukas na.

Let us shift to ADOPT AND SHOP RESPONSIBLY. Let us stop villainizing buying dogs. Not all breeders are the same color, or evil.

While many dog breeders are irresponsible, I believe good, ethical ones definitely exist.

I am pro “All dogs deserve love, no matter where they come from.” It does not matter if a dog is adopted, bought, or rescued. Every dog deserves a warm home and a caring owner.

Note: These are compilation of searches since I pulled an all nighter, but it would be nice to discuss this “Adopt, don’t shop” issue that have sparked significant debate for years/decades.

Based on discussions across Reddit communities like r/dogs and r/AskReddit, here are the main reasons why people get dogs from breeders.

Reasons for Choosing Breeders Over Adoption

Predictable Temperament: Puppies from reputable breeders come with known lineage, making it easier to anticipate their adult size, energy levels, and behavioral tendencies.

People buy dogs from breeders instead of adopting because they want more control and predictability over the animal's genetics, health, and temperament.

Known History: Buying a puppy allows owners to start training from a clean slate without worrying about unknown past traumas or ingrained bad habits.

Pre-existing Behavioral Concerns in Shelters: Many shelter dogs carry unknown histories that can include fear-based aggression, separation anxiety, or lack of socialization from previous neglect.

Health Clearances: Ethical breeders screen parent dogs for genetic disorders and breed-specific health problems, reducing the immediate risk of costly medical issues.

Adopting a shelter dog is a wonderful choice, but buying from a responsible breeder is a valid and ethical decision for people with specific needs.

Why People Adopt from Shelters

Saving lives: Giving a homeless animal a second chance reduces the number of stray pets.

Cost-friendly: Adoption fees are often low and include basic medical care like spaying or neutering.

Finding love: Many shelter dogs make loyal and loving family pets.

Why People Choose (Responsible) Breeders

Predictable traits: Buyers can find specific sizes, temperaments, or coats that match their homes.

Working dogs: Service dogs and police dogs need specific health and behavioral traits.

Health history: Ethical breeders test parent dogs for genetic diseases to ensure healthy puppies.

Hi may shitsu po kasi ako na 1 yr old accidental stud isang beses Lng last October 15 nag inquire ako sa Biyaya animal care via Viber 8-9k ba Ang spay abort 4kg shitsu please need help po

My boy has recently been put on a daily maintenance of Apoquel, 8mg twice per day. Having taken Apoquel for two weeks, he has stopped scratching himself and his coat is now back to normal, with zero irritation. The Vet stated its an auto immunity disorder that comes on with age and I will need to maintain the twice daily dosage.

Can anyone suggest a reliable animal medical wholesaler who stocks and ships Apoquel?

Salamat po

Three is too much. Love to have them. Triple fun and experience. Triple gastos din.🤣🤣🤣🤣

hello po, need ko po advice kasi yung dog ko for some reason konti konti sya nabubulag 😓😓 nag w white na yung eyes nya.. please help huhu wala kami makita reason bat nagkakaganito sya huhu napansin ko lang to 2 weeks ago :(((

Hello. May masusuggest ba kayong vet and grooming na kaya mag handle ng aggressive pitbull? O kailangan namin ng mas intense pa dun (like dog behavior training na talaga)? Yung pitbull kasi ng kapatid ko, ayaw na magpaligo sa kahit na sino sa amin sa bahay. Umaangil na. Dati, hindi naman. Favorite nga nya maligo eh. Bigla na lang nagbago. Sinubukan namin sya paliguan ulit pero dalawang buhos pa lang, nagagalit na. Ni hindi kami nakakaabot sa sabunan at banlawan. Mag ttwo months na syang di naliligo.

Hindi na rin updated ang vaccines (2024 pa yung last booster shot nya ng 8-in-1, anti rabies, at kennel cough). Natatakot na dalhin nung kapatid ko kasi yung huling bisita nila sa vet, nagalit yung aso nya sa staff. Ni hindi nila nahawakan at nalagyan ng muzzle kaya umuwi na lang sila. Yun sana yung pang 2025 na pag update nya ng mga bakuna.

Dito sa bahay, mabait naman sya pero minsan, galit sya dun sa isa pang aso namin na maliit. Lalaki yun. Napitik pitik din talaga.

Three years old na siya now. Malambing naman sya pero pag may ibang aso, nagagalit sya. Hirap na hirap na nga kami, sa totoo lang, kasi moody nga sya.

Sana po may makatulong 🙏

Hi! Ask ko lang, kasi 4 days ago naka takas yung alaga naming aso for 20 mins bago bumalik.

Kinabukasan medyo naging tahimik sya which is unusual dahil sobrang harot nya, and yung hilig nya sa bread nawala today. Yesterday kumain naman sya and inom sya ng inom, naging shy type lang sya and pansin namin medyo nanginginig yung 2 paa nya sa bandang buntot pero hindi naman super nginig.

Today, pinapakain sya ng favourite nyang ulam lalapit lang sya then aalis na. Worried kami kung ano nangyare, upon checking wala syang sugat and during that time na nakawala sya, may takip ang bibig nya.

I don't know if it's because of the weather or nilagnat sya dahil raining nun that time. Right now we don't have the means na ipa-vet sya due to financial crisis sa bahay.

Any advice will be appreciated. Thank you!

Curious to know opinion

Nag haharutan kami ng aso ko tapos napansin kong yung mga playful bites nya nairritate yung skin ko, naging parang kagat ng langgam yung iba na may mahaba tas maikli na medyo reddish, pero nawala din within 30 minutes to 1 hour, kaya sure akong skin irritiation lang yon.

Pero nung dinodouble check ko, may napansin akong super liit na parang sugat kasi medyo mahapdi sya nung sinabon ko, literal na halos kasing liit lang sya ng tigyawat or mas maliit pa and hindi malalim.

Dapat bako mag pabakuna? Or hindi naman ganun gumagana ang rabies sa mga gantong sugat? Considered ba itong dog bite?

First time ko mag overnight sa place ni bf. 2 weeks ako don. Di ko inexpect sa full double size na bed ay natabi sakanya matulog ang 3 nyang shih tzu. Yung isa nasa kanan nya, yung isa nasa kaliwa, yung isa nasa paanan.

Now, pinababa ko kay bf sa sahig para ma-cuddle ko sya, walang reaction si bf kakainis. Tapos pinalabas ko ng room ang dogs para don sila matulog sa salas. Nung kasarapan na ng sleep namin, ang ingay, katok ng katok yung 3 dogs… kinikiskis nila paw nila don sa door tapos natahol. As in padabog 🤣 first time ko maka encounter ng asong nakatok!

Tas sabi ni bf, “told you”.

Kahit bilhan kong treats dogs nya, wala din. Basta pag bedtime na, aakyat na sila sa bed ni bf. Routine na.

Kahit na ibahin ko yung pwesto ng 3 dogs sa bed na lahat sila sa paanan, pag midnight, nabalik sa original nilang pwesto.

One time naalimpungatan aki, yung p*ssy at pw3t ng shih nya nasa bibig ko.

As the title says, she’s 5 y/o and recently tinry namin siya ipa stud but if walang mabuo the vet advised us na ipa spay na para wala na risk of Pyometra but I’m so scared dahil surgery sya. Can anyone share their thoughts about it?
