Canine communication comes in many forms, whether it’s a lick on the cheek, a wag of the tail, or just a soulful stare from those puppy dog eyes. But what if your dog is whining … a lot? Is it stress, hunger, or pain? Or is this how an attention-seeking hound makes his wishes known? Whatever the case, our team at Bowman Veterinary Hospital will help you better understand the reasons behind the whining and what you can do to help.

You locked eyes with a Labrador mix at the animal shelter and instantly knew you’d found your ideal canine companion.

Everyone has an ideal image of pet ownership, but that’s not always the reality. Our team at Bowman Veterinary Hospital has put together some common pet behavior issues and how to handle them.
