I’m looking to buy a new washing machine, but can’t decide. I have two big dogs and lots of dog beds. I have to take the beds to the laundry mat around once a month, spending at least to wash and dry them all. My current washer isn’t large enough to wash these big beds. [...]

My boyfriend and I have been wanting to adopt rabbits ever since we met. We have not been able to as we are living at home, and both have big dogs that would be dangerous around rabbits. We are going to be getting our own townhome in the Summer, and I plan on adopting 2 [...]

I’ve always found that it’s easier to control a dog by it’s head, or closer to it, (hence why they used rings in bulls noses, to control them). I also was under the impression that it can cause back problems for some dogs. Am I wrong in thinking this? I just see a lot of [...]

I have two really big dogs, They both really like eachother and they are the opposite sex. But when I try to make them go in the dog houses(ive tried them all) it looks like only one can fit in! One of the dogs just wont go into the house, I had to put the [...]

My partner and I just found out that our 2-year-old Lab/Dane mix has hip dysplasia. In addition to having regular check-ups, managing his weight, and giving him doggie anti-inflammatories, is there anything else we should do for him? We’re changing his primary exercise from jogging to swimming, because running seems to make his hip hurt. [...]

Help with Dog Houses?

December 6th, 2010

I have 2 large male labs. One is around 90 pounds the other 100 pounds. They spend half of their time outdoors (fenced in yard) and they need new shelter in case it were to rain before we could get them inside or such. They cry to go out to play. They like to sleep [...]

The house is huge, and it can fit about 5 big dogs(I have 3). We got it because it has air conditioning, and it gets brutal outside during the summertime. But for some reason they won’t stay in there. That thing was expensive, and they won’t even stay in there for more than 5 minutes. [...]

I visited a friends house and her small dogs showed more aggression but her big German Shepard was friendlily and calm and I asked her why is that and she said big dogs act on triggers.Is this true?

I know there are many considerations to make in choosing the breed of dog that is right for your family, but this is a big one for me. I have two cats with no dog experience and I would really like to see them all get along. Not only do I not want them to [...]

My friend’s dog (7-month Husky) gets so scared whenever we take her to the dog park. Her tail is always tucked between her legs. She even pees when some big dogs come near her. She enjoys playing with people more than other dogs. She even jumps up the table or hides under it to avoid [...]

I’ve read somewhere that small dogs can’t have harnesses, and that harnesses are for big dogs only. Is this true? Ok, thank you Eve. Thank you everyone! My yorkie has slipped out of her collar before and almost got hit, and she choked herself once. I will always use a harness ♥ : I have [...]

I saw an ad in a magazine for a dog harness that is guaranteed to stop your dog from pulling during walks because it tightens around their chest when they pull. I am skeptical and was wondering if it’s true that harnesses are really better especially for big dogs than a regular collar. My dog’s [...]
