Papillon

I assume the vet checked the dog for a yeast, fungal or parasitic (mite) infection on the skin? One of my dogs was diagnosed with food allergies but turned out she had a yeast infection. I tried using a vet shampoo called Sebolise but it was rubbish. I now use Palmolive Scalp Care for humans. She gets a bath with it twice a year and has no more problems. A word on raw chicken, chicken is often contaminated with numerous bacteria, many of which are resistant to the more common anti-biotics used on animals and people. Feeding raw chicken is often considered good, but unless you can guarantee the chicken is free of bacteria, you are better off cooking it. Cooking also makes meat easier to digest.

I don't own a beagle but do have a couple of carpet makers. I wash the washing machine out after I do the dog's bedding. That helps reduce the unwanted hair on the clothes being washed after that. Then once the clothes have been washed and are still damp, I take them outside and shake them a couple of times. It helps get rid of a lot of the loose hair that hasn't been washed out.

LOL, sounds funny but gross :D my cousins dog does a funny thing with its lower lip. The lip starts to twitch, like when a little kid trying to make funny noises by pulling their bottom lip down with their finger and make silly noises.

To the best of my knowledge a dog showing real aggression will often have its tail pointing straight back and some dogs the hair on their back will be up. Fear aggression is often accompanied by a tail between the legs during the growling. Confused aggression (with the dog not knowing if it should attack or retreat) is often accompanied by a tail wagging during the growling and snarling. The dog at the pound sounds like it is confused and missing its owner. It was probably fear aggression caused by unfamiliar sights & sounds and lots of strange people looking at it. It has probably used the defence before when strangers go near it. The dog growls so the threat (people, other dogs, etc,) go away. I have seen a number of dogs that didn’t like women, and some that didn’t like men. A Jack Russel that was being babysat by a friend would not let any female touch it, yet any guy could pick it up and do whatever to it. Some dogs don’t like coloured people, some don’t like people with facial hair. We have a dog in our group that I have seen almost daily for 5 years, and she still won’t let me pat her. I can pat every other dog there but not this particular one. Other people in the group can all pat her, just not me.
