tried+teed Why did the dog sit next to the computer? He wanted to keep an eye on the mouse! --- JOKE --- Why does my dog drag their bum on the ground? When a dog drags their bum on the ground, it's often called "scooting" and it can happen for several reasons: ¦ Anal Gland Issues – The most common cause is irritation or discomfort from full, infected, or impacted anal glands. ¦ Parasites – Worms, particularly tapeworms, can irritate the area. ¦ Allergies or Irritation – Skin allergies, from food or environmental allergens or irritation around the anal area. ¦ Poor Hygiene – If the area is dirty, dogs might scoot to clean themselves or try to alleviate discomfort. ¦ Infections – Bacterial or yeast infections in the anal area could cause similar symptoms. If scooting is frequent, it's a good idea to have your dog checked by a vet to rule out any underlying health issues, especially if it's accompanied by other symptoms like swelling, redness, or changes in behaviour. Q A & "Bought for very old Goldie with aging & arthritic mobility issues. Have tried other shoes that have ranged from poor to good. These are fantastic. Easy to put on, they stay on, I assume they are comfortable because my Goldie's mobility improved significantly. We've been using them for about a week (many hours daily).... Highly recommend for quality, function, & ease of use. I have not washed them as yet so can't comment on that. Well worth the money.." - Wendy, vet-n-pet DIRECT customer RUFFWEAR GRIP TREX DOG BOOTS
