How do I ensure my beloved pets are treated like family members?

That is wonderful!! Our two dogs are our children along with our son. We call them our fur babies :-) It's great that you want the best for her, and reach out for help when you have concerns about her and Zeus. It's exactly what you should do when you have a pet, and shows how much you love them.

Why is my dog only affectionate to me? How can he bond with my mom?

Thanks for using Boop by Petco! Dogs are thankfully all about treats and affection. I would recommend that you consider having your mom give him treats and as much affection as possible. Usually with treats he will most likely get to like her company more and more. This will likely help. Good luck!

Why is my older dog bringing me socks and other items at night?

Hello and welcome to Boop by Petco. It is hard to know why an animal suddenly changes their behaviour. He could just be showing affection to you, as it sounds like he is aware of his behaviour. Sometimes behavioral changes can be due to tumors in the brain, however these are more associated with pacing, panting, staring at all, circling, and other 'non-nonsensical' behaviours. If there has been a change in the house, (for example: a new baby or animal or person, renovations, etc.) then he could be responding to this. I would recommend a visit to the vet for a thorough check-up, and maybe some general bloodwork just to make sure there isn't anything medical going on. If that is all clear, then he is likely just showing you love. Best of luck with Bobby!

Why does my dog cry, bury, and steal bones when I give him one?

Hi, thanks for using Boop by Petco! This is Cori showing his extreme excitement and joy of receiving this treat. All animals react differently. There is probably not much you can do about the whining/crying. For the trying to bury it I would make him calm down and lay down to eat it. As for stealing other dogs bones, I would have your friends pick up their dogs bone and be sure to teach Cori how to listen and come. If he sees a bone he should know to "leave it" and "drop it." I hope this helps!

Why does my cat always meow and purr when I arrive home for attention?

Hello and welcome to Boop by Petco. It sounds like your cat just loves you. Purring and meowing are signs of affection, wanting attention, wanting food, wanting pets, or wanting play. Have fun with your little one!
