I wish u lived in my city and could be my vet
You sir are spot on best advice they should play this on TV every day Thank you
no. 5 is really true.
it's really dangerous especially if you live in crowded city.
I will never put my dog on a Retractable leash. I've seen too many dogs out of control (chaos, fights, trip hazards...) but the owners think it's "not their fault" or everything is "fine" because the dog is "on a Leash".
Thanks ! as always great thought provoking information.😊
I agree! I've seen dogs on retractable leashes run into the road right into the path of approaching cars (luckily, the cars were able to avoid hitting the dog) and lunge at passing people and dogs on proper leashes. I have twice been nearly bitten walking into my vet's office because someone in the waiting room had a dog on a retractable leash, giving it free rein of the entire room. On both those occasions, the only way I was able to enter the office was with a vet tech demanding the unrestrained dog be brought to the very back wall so I could enter with my dog and be brought straight to an exam room. Another time, a dog on a retractable leash ran around my feet as I entered the waiting room, and I was literally pulled off my feet and hit the floor like a ton of bricks! Retractable leashes are ONLY appropriate in one's own yard, NEVER in public situations where they provide NO control and put others at risk!! I personally think they should be banned!!
My dog has a retractable leash with a lock. He can run around in the grass, and I lock the leash at 4 feet when near other dogs and around streets.
I had to do an emergency stop in my car which threw my 2 dogs forward harshly because a man had a dog on one of these and his dog crossed the main road (60 MPH speed limit) on the lead whilst he stood with his back to the road looking through a hedge.
Amen...they are dangerous..and you cant control ur dog on those fake leashes
@@priscillawrites6685 I'm sorry..but you cant control ur dog with these things..please just go get a real leash..especially if you have a good sized or highly energetic dog
"all it takes is one distraction, even for the best trained dog!" People please listen to this doctor and many other professionals that are telling you to keep your dog on lead in public areas. It is for the safety of others' dogs and your own dog.
I learnt that one about retractable leads when my gsd at 11 months old pulled so hard to go after a rabbit, it broke the lock system, he's been on a harness and lead since, he's nearly 3 now.
A lot of people let their dogs in their front yards unleashed, assuming they're not going to run after another dog walking down the street on a leash. We always walk our dogs/dog twice a day and I can't even count the number of altercations we've had. Now we take pepper spray, an umbrella, an air horn, and I bring a pocket of rocks. It's really stressful after awhile.
We lost our beloved Wire Fox Terrier a couple years ago to pancreatitis even though we were very careful with how we fed him. It broke our hearts.
I want to thank you for all you do to help our pets. You literally saved my dog's life with your videos and natural remedies. Dr. Jones, have you addressed the dangers of these new "smart plugs" people are putting in their homes that's causing serious health problems for dogs especially? People everywhere need to know this. They emit a high pitched sound that hurts the pets' ears, is very painful, makes them very anxious and who knows what else they cause? A friend had this happen recently and it was so bad the dog refused to go inside the house ran away to keep from having to go inside.
Is it only the smart plugs that do this? I'm so glad you said this cause I was thinking about getting some and I'm glad I didnt.
What is a “ smart plug???Out of it on Kauai.😮
Great tips as always! I don't let mine run with scissors either. LOL Keep up the good work, Dr Jones!
❤ especially grateful that you keep such valuable info short & to the point!
This was so informative thank you
Agree 100%! Excellent advice.
Thank you for sharing your wisdom and experience! I'm sure you've just saved some dogs' lives in the process!
I agree . Also, anyone, human or canine, gets a seat belt if they ride in our car. Scout wears a harness for rides in car & a tether is clipped to it. The other end is clicked into seat belt lock. This keeps her & us safe. If I have to brake suddenly, Scout isn't thrown between the seats, to the floor or worse.
I used to take her for walks in a park but stopped. There are deer there.. she could get ticks. She could get fleas. Don't want either.
She's had pancreatitis twice. I learned to feed her an extra lean diet.
My dog has 2 bungee leashes attached to her harness front/back.
Years ago a pit puppy showed me how easy it is to snap the hardware on a leash in a split second. 😊
All so true! Thought my dog was the best behaved dog ever. No leash and he jetted out into the street. Thank God no car was coming. Now, he's always on a leash.
Bless you for all that you share, 🐶😻🤗🙏
I love my dog too much to take risks with her,thanks you so much for your good advice!! 😊
You’re a real gem- love you Dr Jones! ❤️
Great video...add to that..let ur dog hang out a car window..eye injuries can occur...plus most I see hanging out of car windows are not secured..like you said it just takes one quick distraction...and dogs do jump out of windows!
Absolute Common Sense !! Thankyou as always 💗
You are correct but not everyone has it. Lol. I didn't for years.
🙏 Thank you and Blessings!
Helpful
Dr thank you so much for being this amazing,i would still bring my baby girl to you with pride and joy to give her such a great Dr God bless you and your family Tula happy new year 🎉🎉 baby girl 🌹
Glad you are saying this for people who think this is okay.
Thank you for your good input Doc.
Tula is such a good dog❤ Thank you Dr. Jones for this important information!! Your pretty awesome ❤
Thank you for sharing your knowledge Dr. Much appreciated!

You should never walk a dog on the road. There are enough parks to walk a dog. FYI,,,, dogs that are walked on the road , run to the road when they accidentally get out
You can't 100% avoid roads, unless the park is right in front of your house, you have to get there crossing roads.
I admit I have given my pup a tiny bit of uncured (pre soaked in water ) turkey bacon. Maybe about a half ounce and a couple of times a year. I hope it’s not too much for her. I’ll ask my vet the next time I see her if that’s too much. I would NEVER do anything to harm my pup.
stop it
Great advice. No dog parks for my dog either.
My dogs 🐕 eat bran flakes for breakfast or yogurt with probiotics spoon fed lol 😝 one is only 4lbs full grown - he likes what he likes. Salads with a little apple cider vinegar, lemon, mixed olive oil also a favourite - they like healthy green stuff.
Ps dogs basically need raw muscle meat..raw organs..raw bone (never cooked)..and raw fat..when they eat an entire animal they get some other things like berries and maybe some greens...but dogs aren't vegetarians...the only greens I give my dogs is broccoli (or broccoli sprouts) and green beans...pulverized in a blender w water...dogs cant break down cellulose in veggies..they also get raw pastured eggs...ok..good luck!when you look at your furbaby... start thinking grey wolf..instead of thinking little person...ps yogurt is ok..but goats milk kefir is better for dogs..read up on all of this on site I gave you .have a great year!
@@connieboylan9159 lmao my dog 🐕 looks like that - he fits in my hand. He is full grown xsmall toy chihuahua with a devil stripe and angel wings on his back. He eats cooked beef, chicken or salmon for dinner and dog food. Frankly, I am thankful he eats well and is so healthy - the boy is a character.
Yes I learned when my dogs trachea was injured and he coughed all the time. I use a harness.
I took my last dog to an opening of a dog park as a guest because I live right nearby even though it wasn't going to join. He wasn't there 10 minutes and another dog knocked him over and after that he started limping on his front legs and never truly recovered. He had already been in physical therapy for back pain but his veterinarian thought it was okay to take him. Huge mistake! And that's why I ended up having to say goodbye to him eventually. Also I used to let my dogs run because we have a big field next door and a big open piece of property and occasionally they did run off but fortunately we don't have a lot of traffic. Today I probably wouldn't do that especially since I'm older and I would never be able to catch up with them.
Good advise 🐕🦺🦮🐩❤️
Valuable video. I practice all these as well.
I avoid antlers now too. My boy has enamel worn down because of those...no more!
Hmmm,. What about Elk antler?? We have two mild chewers but one aggressive chewer.
Great pointers Dr Jones. I really love your channel and follow your advice. God Bless you. xx
Thanks so much!
Very sound advice! Thanks, doctor!
Thank you ..
I never do that either with my dogs !
Thank you Dr. !! 😊 🥰
Great tips Dr. Jones 👍
Thank you
So very true Doc❤.
Thanks, love your channel.
👍 good advice. Blessings everyone
Excellent advice, Dr. Jones. Thank you ( as ALWAYS!)
My pleasure❤️
Are bully sticks ok? What is good for chewing?
All great advice.
I live in the country, the yard is very open. Never do I ever let my dog loose. Too many wolves, coyotes, not to mention hawks and eagles. My dog is just 5lb., the perfect hor d'oeuvre for a bird of prey.
In the past I've had an eagle come down for my then dog(10lb)during the day, and an owl at night.
Neighbors lost their shihtzu to a hawk, it took the dog by the jacket and carried it off.
I've also heard stories that coyotes will grab dogs from the end of a leash (they have zero fear of humans) and I know of coyotes coming after a large dog, trying to take it down on the back step of the house.
So it's a zoo out there. I have no shame in being my doggo's helicopter mom❤
Thank you! Can you please share what you DO recommend as safe chews for puppies who NEED to chew? Thanks!
I have a husky and it’s really hard for me to walk her. Actually, I can’t walk her she really walks me she drags me. I do take her to the dog park. She’s not really around other dogs too much. I go very early in the morning. It’s still dark where most of the time it’s just me and her. I never allow my dogs to chew on sticks or feathers, or any of those kind of things. Because it can harm them, but I see other people allow their dogs to. I watched my dog, and I tried to be very careful with what she does, and what she’s got in her mouth .
Pepperoni bits caused severe pancreatitis in my pup and in my folks pup. Unfortunately most dogs love it. Better to get no sugar dried fish.😊
Sadly I have a Feild Lab with such a strong prey drive. ThatvI am unable to walk him he is so strong if anything moves even a bird flying over he chases it forgetting I'm attached to him. At home and in our yard the best behaved calmest dog I've ever had unless someting sets up residence in our yard. Just a warning for people who may not be aware, there are 2 types of Labs most people don't know this. If you are considering sharing your home with one of these awesome dogs and don't want a big surprise Google the difference between an American Lab or an English Lab.
WHAT DO YOU GIVE YOUR DOG TO CHEW ON. THANKS
Dr Jones My dog has been drinking a lot water. We
Took her to the pet hospital. They gave a blood test... Everything came in good.... So why is she drinking so much water? They did say that they heard in her lungs wheezing so they gave her antibiotics.
I agree 100%
I don't do any of those. Great info for the unaware, or for those who are knowingly careless.
Love your channel!
Question,,,, we had a pup and vaccinated her. She almost died.
So, we have additional puppies we added and were very hesitant to Vax. Our sweet puppies died. Possibly from parvo....we live on a homestead so this is a valued animal on our farm. We have a new puppy. We have restricted her movement and her previous parents started all first shots at 6 weeks. We want her fully vaccinated from parvo and distemper. You had a video about 2 parvo/distemper vaccine at 10 and 12 weeks.. would the 2 vaccines be sufficient given her early age at receiving her first?
Please direct as we are super cautious about parvo/distemper
I can understand about bacon, what about coconut oil?
Bacon fat is not THAT high in saturated fat, especially when rendered. Salt and chemicals would be a much greater concern. Also, who would feed a dog a bowl full of bacon. Coconut oil is very beneficial to dogs
all the data on saturated fat being bad is bunk misinfo paid for by big food and big pharma, your heart and brain need saturated fat to function, this is no different in dogs or cats, everything else he said is ok though
@@iwallhausser8870 Beneficial in what way?
Yes coconut oil is Not a saturated fat but a medium chain fatty acid so unless you are dead then your internal body temperature has enough heat in it to keep it liquid and is very heart healthy and also good if your dog has yeast. Just start out with a little like 1/2 tsp for a small dog cause to much can cause diarrhea
@@nataliewilliams2483 My dog is 68 pounds. I began adding it to her meals hoping it would help keep her teeth clean. I need to research the benefits, but did not think it would hurt her.
Dear DR.Jones Can you please give us an UPDATE on the MYSTERY DOG ILLNESS?? Is this still spreading is it safe to resume outdoor activities with other dogs. Thank you
My Great Pyrenees female stinks and has sores all over her body any help would be appreciated local vets really suck around here would love to hear what you have to say thank you very much and hello drom Kelowna BC Canada.
Hello, please can you tell, what breed is your dog?
my cat had an infection with phlegm in the throat - I give now NAC
Your tips give my dog a better life
Common Sense, good old fashioned engagement of brain!!
Please help ... what can be do for a dog with dysbiosis ? What a awful thing for them to have 😢
Where do you recommend letting dogs run other than dog parks or sniffspots?
A PRIVATE fenced-in area 😃
Fortunately I can let my dogs run in the wilderness when we hike
Thanks. Doctor, i did had a dog but sadly got to sick and passed, i say never again i going to have a dog because the pain to see they sick and die is not easy .but i have 2 cat one is already 17 years and the othe is a teenager just 2years old .right now are both in bed with me.
If anyone wants their dog to be their best friend, think of your dog as your child.
Everything you've mentioned I see every day by pet owners. It's all commonsense yet they lack it. It infuriates me.
Leaches are for dogs not to attack people.
No bacon ever 🍔 ? Are you saying low fat diets?
Just subscribed on X. Will not be using YT anymore. Tired of their crap. See you on X!
Thanks for letting us know. I will do the same I hate yt
Why did you stop practicing? We need caring vets!
Common sense knowledge
You recommended vaccinations for our pets. You're not paying attention. Should learn the basics before you give advice. You wont learn the basics in academia.
