What to Know When Your Dog Is Pregnant
A common myth is that a pregnant dog needs lots of extra food — but early on, intake shouldn't rise much, or obesity makes delivery harder. Avoid baths in the first 20 days and last 10 days; in between, a quick warm rinse and thorough dry is fine. Keep the nipples clean and dry, and never give any medication (including dewormer) without a vet's sign-off.

No Response When Called? 5 Signs of Hearing Loss in Dogs
A dog's hearing is four times sharper than a human's, so hearing loss hurts its quality of life and can put it in danger. Watch for five signs: slow response to everyday sounds (name, doorbell, treat bag, commands); deeper sleep that only breaks when touched; being easily startled because it relies more on sight and stays clingy; poor sound localization (turning the wrong way with one-sided loss); and changed bark volume. Causes range from age (often from 8–10) to ear infections, mites, wax, drug side effects, injury, tumors, or breed predisposition. See a vet early; for age-related loss, use hand signals, keep the environment stable, and try a vibration collar.
How can I make a Basset Hound less clingy?
A clingy Basset Hound may have separation anxiety. Provide a new chew toy and a novel toy, offer a treat and the toy right before you leave to distract him, then slip out quietly so he associates your departure with a reward.
