Your Daily DogScope for October 17, 2025

October 17, 2025



Life is ruff when you’re four-legged and furry with a completely clueless human. Fortunately, our daily Dogscope can brighten those boneless days with a little encouragement and a helping paw.

Aries

Your owner is expending a lot of effort on something, but what? They just look like a dog chasing their tail to you. But the payoff is just around the corner, for you and everyone else in their lives. Give them some peace.

Taurus

Ah, to trot down the road on the end of your leash with your nose in the air. Does this take self confidence or arrogance? Don't take on a pompous-looking stance until you settle that internal dispute.

Gemini

Others may take you seriously, so pick and choose carefully. When it comes to chow, definitely speak your mind. But when it comes to interlopers -- bark softly.

Cancer

Lucky you, you have no bargain-basement owner. But unlucky you, you're being fitted for some dog-ugly outfits. Escape while you can, or 10 days from now you'll look like a whole, new mutt.

Leo

Taking attendance is a given but why stop there? Keep track of all the celebrities in your life, and then some. Once you've taken account of all your humans, move on to chew toys.

Virgo

'Tis the time of year for regular routines to go out the window, even yours. Start being flexible about what is or is not an acceptable day. There will be too much happening soon enough; for now, enjoy that there's not enough.

Libra

Don't be surprised if you're suddenly group leader. And don't be surprised if you don't really like it after all. You can be the dog who has all the answers without being alpha.

Scorpio

The more stressed out you are, the more flamboyance in other dogs is a problem. That should be telling you something. When you start wanting to bark and dominate, know that it's you.

Sagittarius

Would you jump in your owner's suitcase if it mean going along? Of course. That's not even gambling, as far as you're concerned. The choices you have to make today are much more extreme, but just as paws down.

Capricorn

It's not an easy day. Someone is after what's yours, either in reality or in your head. Keep your eyes wide open and your fur up. When it comes to napping, well, tomorrow is another day.

Aquarius

All eyes are -- not on you. Your humans are too preoccupied to give you the kind of attention you deserve, but that's not all bad. Do some experimenting, and see what you can get away with.

Pisces

Don't throw the baby out with the bathwater, not that you have an opportunity to. Other yapping dogs are annoying, but they do serve a purpose. They keep your mind from wandering.
