I adopted a very beautiful dog today, he is between 10months and a year old (the couple who owned him couldnt seem to agree) not sure exactly what he is as no ones 100% sure who his Dad is, theres definately some husky in him (mums a husky) and his face looks a lot like [...]

I have a 2 year old mut (catahoula leopard, American bulldog, Rhodesian ridgeback and whatever else), seriously. We have had this problem with him since he was about 6 months old, he literally will eat ANYTHING. He has been to the vet numerous times and we have spent SO much money only to be told [...]

I know hip dysplasia is common among retrievers. I have a 3 month old female American yellow lab, and am trying to prevent the problem from developing, if she wasn’t already born with it in her genes. I know that it is too young to tell, and I will get her X-rayed at 6 months. [...]

My dog licks everything! His paws, the furniture, my bed. He loves to lick the leather sofa and the upholster chairs. He lays down and licks and licks. It is so weird and so gross. We tell him no and pick him up and distract him but when we turn our backs and move on [...]

My dogs are allowed on the furniture and whenever say he wakes up from a nap on the bed he’ll put his front paws on the ground first and then stretch his back legs out onto the bed and drag himself off. It sort of looks like he’s waiting for someone to grab his back [...]

My dog has lately had eye boogers, I wipe them away but just an hour or two later there back! Also, we had a broken glass outside and he may have been over there but usually he’s not allowed to go out front. He has been licking and biting at the bottom of his two [...]

We just put the crabgrass killer on today. Our pet dog goes outside in our backyard repeatedly throughout the day to relieve herself. We’re afraid that she may get crabgrass killer on her paws & possibly ingest it if she licks her paws. Any suggestions, other than keep her off the lawn which will be [...]

I’ll admit, my dog like to sleep in my bed with me. He’s perfectly comfortable sleeping on the floor, on a blanket or in his doggy bed during the day. But every night when I get in bed he puts his paws up and whines until I pick him up and put him in with [...]

I have an Australian shepherd with very long hair that makes it hard to spot and remove ticks. Recentley he went mountain biking with me and I had a few ticks on me. I checked his paws/legs and it looks like he has many ticks. Probably 10-15 just on his legs. I know he will [...]

Would a dog Harness be better?

January 7th, 2011

I have a 10 month old border collie who pulls so much on the leash he starts to choke and hurt himself. So I went out and bought the Halti in size 2. But he doesn’t like and paws at it, he also manages to slip it over his nose and into his mouth. So [...]

And if so, what do you think of them? My husband and I are looking into get pet insurance for emergency situations and I saw Healthy Paws Pet Insurance. It doesn’t sound to bad so I wanted to see if anyone uses them.

Most of them are under neath my dogs paws are little bugs, im not too sure what they are but i think they could be ticks because i pluck them off, i squished them and there was blood. When my dog was sleeping on my bed there were little black tiny looking bugs and when [...]

Hip Dysplasia?

December 9th, 2010

i breed yellow labs, and am wondering, everyone says that hip dysplasia is genetic, but we have had litters before with the same parents and no problems. there is no history of hip dysplasia within the last 5 generations for either the father or mother. and all the other pups are fine. yet somehow, the [...]

Our cat is very active at night and is keeping us up to the point of interference in our daily life. We love her and will never get rid of her but need some ideas. I’ve tried it all…feeding big meal before bed, playing with her hard before bed. We tried to shut the bedroom [...]
