Ok, I recently adopted a 6 year old white poodle from an adoption event at my local pet store and she originally came from a Puppy mill that was shut down. She was in a shelter for about 2 weeks before I adopted her. She is only 9.8 pounds. The problems I am having seem [...]

I want a dog but not sure as to what breed I want or really what breed is best for me and where I’ll live. I plan to move to Nevada soon and want a puppy that is okay for apartments ,Though my plan is to take it out for walks daily that also depends [...]

Ok, I have a toy fox terrier who is about 7 months old. She is extremley hyper and just curious about everything she sees. I understand this happens with puppies but GOD she’s like over the limit. She won’t lay down and just play with one toy, she has to sniff around the room hop [...]

I have a 1 yr old female pug (owned since 8 wks) that cowers when I put her harness on. When she was younger, she would actually run and hide from it. It seems every other dog I have ever known got totally stoked when it saw its leash because they associated the leash with [...]

My dog lowers her body, tucks her tail, and slinks off away from me whenever I try to put on a harness or a hiking backpack. Im not sure why, it just started recently after her wearing them for awhile. Shes never liked wearing them, but I ignored it and just went on putting it [...]

I used to leave my little dauchshund mix dog (3 years old) at home with my boyfriend because his school schedule allowed him to be at home a lot during the day. He used to take him on walks, etc and my little dog loved my boyfriend…sometimes more than me I think. When his schedule [...]

Should I get my dog a friend?

December 27th, 2010

My pomeranian has, up until this point, always been pretty well behaved! I say pretty because he has his moments (especially potty training, but he got the hang of it… slowly.) but he’s generally a well behaved dog. His only BIG fault in my opinion would be the fact that he’s way way way too [...]

We’ve just bought a beautiful white german shepherd bitch and I’m jusdt loving her! Want to start taking her for walks once she’s had her second injection but cant seem to find any prretty or comfy looking harnesses for a dog this size, they all seem to be 4 toy breeds, which seems a bit [...]

My dog has severe hip dysplaisia. She has a consultation with the surgeon coming up. She will get the surgery, no doubt about it, but will it put her in more pain, or ease it off? We take her for walks around the front yard everyday. The vet said a THR (Total Hip Replacement) is [...]

i have a 3 year old cavapoo. hes a sweetie but when he goes for walks and sees other humans and dogs he goes psycho. he jumps up and down and whatnot which is why he still is harnessed. my dad thinks if we put a regular collar on him he would like choke to [...]

Hi, I’ve read a lot of questions about ways to convince your parents to allow you have a dog but when I read them I quickly notice a pattern of deceit and when they’re told to act mature for the pet it’s really all being put on. Two years ago I had a 4 year [...]

My older brother and I bought a "body harness" earlier today, in an attempt to stop our dachshund from pulling so much on walks. I figured that since the harness goes around his shoulders instead of his neck, he’d stop getting choked. But right next to the body harness, a "training harness" was being sold [...]

are dog ticks dangerous for dogs?

November 18th, 2010

Yesterday I went on a walk with my dog and today I noticed he has a tick (in a very delicate spot). I already sprayed it with the spray. What should I do? do they carry any diseases (I bet they do, but what are they (symptoms)? should I see the vet now, even if [...]

i was just wondering if short walks would help or lots of rest? what can i do to make my dog more confortable at home?

Does my dog have depression?

November 15th, 2010

This is going to be a little long so please bear with me. My parents have a 5 year old lab who I’m starting to think is depressed. I have a vet appointment booked for her later this week, but would like to get some opinions here before I go. First some background info. For [...]
