If its an addition to the kibbled foods, then I wouldn't worry about it. The nutrition in the bones is already in the kibbled food. Especially if it's a holistic type of food. You might want to try...

That happened to my boyfriends parents dog. They adopted her, and two years later they moved to a different home. She started to pee and poo downstairs any chance she got. She had free access to the...

I'm not a big fan of the raw diet. I think too much can go wrong inside the dogs gut, but I just read up on it. If you crush the bones by using a mallet you shouldn't have problems. Dogs stomaches...

I'm sure medical phenomenons have happened in this world where an adult dog contracted parvo from a puppy. I'm sure its happened somewhere. I guess I just wouldn't have someone freak out over the...

A good schedule to keep that I use with my puppies is... 8am feeding. 10-15 minutes later go outside to go potty. And from there on out, potty time every hour or so. It may vary. Limit her water...

Fish are opportunists. They'll eat anything that's available. My oscar only gets fed once a day. He likes to hoard his food and it causes my tank to get funky. I use to feed him frozen food all the...

She might be pregnant. I'm not too sure. Ive only bred one dog in my life. That dog had weird discharge that was red. Vet told us she was probably bred. Brittie also did her heat cycle by the book....

Kennel cough. Cepholaxin is a good way to help with kennel cough. Also, what I have discovered over the years in dealing with kennel cough... give him a big soup spoon full of raw honey along with...

If only people in the USA were as responsible as other countries. Its seriously a breeding nightmare in America. Im not sure if you have heard of these wives tales.. but according to the hill billies...

Welcome :)

Dogs can become obsessive just like people can be. I currently have a dog at our rescue that will find a rock, place it by your feet and stare at it until you either throw it or take it away. Its...

Ohh, I have heard of Kordon. I think I used their water treatment once. That stuff is pretty spendy. And I haven't really heard much back on the Kordon products. If this stuff works, let me know! I'd...

I would guess an allergy. I have a pittie with a food allergy. She can't eat anything that costs under $50.:D If you don't want to run to the vet right away, test out different foods. Try foods that...

Not every dog trainer needs to have the alphabet behind their name to make them good trainers. I have had plenty of educated dog trainers say the wrong things to people and no results were made. I...

I contacted Animal Control.. but that was as far as it got. Didn't go back and check up on the puppy. The pet store that the puppy was at claims to rescue dogs. So I'm sure they said the puppy came...

As for the breeding talk going on here :)... If ever I decide to breed again, my pups will go out on limited registration. Pets don't need to be bred. I have seen too many "pets" that had puppies......

Out where I live, we had a pet store that was shut down about 6 years ago because the animals weren't taken care of properly. I can't remember the name of the agency that shut them down, but the...

Eating butter on a daily basis will just make them fat... quickly too. We feed butter to some of the really skinny dogs here at our rescue. Seems to help. My boyfriends dog always is eating butter....

Still a puppy mill puppy. A lot of those breeding dogs are papered. Sometimes the papers are forged. Sometimes the puppy farm will buy well bred dogs with papers.

Unfortunately, in this day and...

Zu is safe. Older dogs cannot get parvo from a puppy. Parvo is contagious to younger dogs. There is a form of adult parvo that is pretty dangerous, but if your dog hasn't been exposed to ADULT parvo,...

I hate to say it... but that's what you get for buying a pet store puppy. In case you are unaware of the back ground of where these puppies come from, they come from a puppy mill. Puppy mills are...

More than likely the puppy is so full of worms that all the puppy food your feeding these pups is actually feeding the worms.

Do the puppies act extra hungry?

Meeting new dogs and living with another dog is completely different. Bullies are a completely different type of dog. Having them greet each other through a fence just doesn't cut it for them. They...

No problem!

I think when Betas make bubble nests they're trying to attract a female. But whatever you do, don't get them girlfriends. I did that once and she killed my 3 year old boy and died...

Well then I would suggest katieokell, to look into the quality of life of you dog as a guard dog. What would be in your dogs best interests? If he is overly friendly, then teaching him to be mean,...

Placement shouldn't bother them. I don't think fish really gaze out their fish tanks. Don't keep your fish in any direct sun. Not only will he get too hot on the good days, but you'll grow algae like...

Huskies are not known to be protective. They'll alert an intruder and maybe even stand their ground, but always remember any type of aggression is based on fear.

If you do want to do this type of...

Sable is a babe! She has a sponsor and has a lot of life left in her! I hope someone can take her :)

Looked some things up. You have ICH. Right now its just forming. If you leave it untreated, it'll get worse. The white spots will get bigger and fuzzy and the fish will die slowly.

The reason you...

Do the spots look kind of 3D? If they look like pimples then you have ich. If they look like they blend into the body of the fish it could be something else. I might have to do some research. I'll...

We haven't gotten tons of dogs through our rescue where the owner says their dog hunts and is great with everything. When we get the dog, its dog aggressive, scared of people and doesn't hunt in any...

Geez! I'm a bit late on this one! I work a horrible schedule right now :(

BUT! A good way of getting rid of Ich isn't always the ich treatments that pet stores will push onto you. My friends and...

I wouldn't interrupt the females pregnancy. They're no different then people. The female's probably in the mind set of "mom". If you don't want to deal with the puppies afterwards, you can always...

How long have you had the puppy? Sometimes puppy can get blood in their poo because of stress. If their poop smells abnormally horrible you could have something bad going on in there. Also, bloody...

Not a big fan of the raw diets either. A friend of my moms had a dog get surgery because it got a chicken bone lodged in its throat. Not only is it expensive, but you have to add a lot of vitamins to...

Ohhh, don't feed your dog once a day. That causes bloat, especially in labs. They're prone to it.

What kind of food are you feeding? That could be a huge impact on your dogs potty problems. If you...

Take her to a vet that knows what they are doing! This could be very bad. It could be internal bleeding. I would almost say go to an emergency clinic... this could get ugly and very quickly!

I have read somewhere that a healthy dog doesn't need to eat every single day. I think it stated that after 5 days is when you really want to start worring about if something is wrong.

To entice...

Nipping is just a stage that puppies have to go through. Its called their bite recognition. They're basically testing out the water to see what they can bite and how hard and if anything happens to...

Well... are these lumps hard? Or are they kind of squishy?

Last time I had a dog with hot spots they were just red, itchy bumps.

These lumps could just be granulomas. Get a skin scraping and a...

Call your vet and tell them what's going on. Some clinics will work with you, especially if you're a client of x amount of years.

For the in between, keep her quiet and get her to try and eat...

Kind of sounds like a hot spot. Hot spots are extremely itchy. Its almost like a hives if I remember right. They can come from a bug bite. The infected area irritates the dog so they scratch and lick...

I think its mainly for people. The last time I bought a bottle it was at a health food store. The brand name is Bach. I know there is a "dog brand" one that I saw at Petco. That one didn't work at...

Rescue Remedy works for select dogs. I've had dogs that it worked on then dogs that it didn't even effect. Defiantly trial and error!

amcosta,

Sounds like you're following the book! Innova is great food. I feed my girls the large bites.

Seems like it is separation anxiety. There are a lot of remedies to help with it. You...

You people are incredible. It seems anyone who is all into dogs owns nothing but mutts. I don't like mutts. Sorry. Have I told anyone who is shopping for a dog that a mutt is a bad dog? No. Its...

I will agree with you that the purebred dog is being over bred. That is why you are getting so many bites. No one cares about the lines. Which is why my next pure bred papered dog will come from...

He's probably marking his territory. Male dogs do that. You should get him fixed if he isn't already. You could also put a male dog diaper wrap on him to prevent him from peeing every where while you...

Mutts are just a mixture of different breeds. A lot of mutts are biters because they have too many temperaments in them. I'm not putting down people who would prefer a mutt to a purebred. Every...

A really good senior dog food would be the Innova brand dog food. They have two different formulas, one is for an active senior, the other is regular. You may or may not have to soften the food in...
