My schnauzer is now 10 weeks old and he is still nipping. When he does it I immediately put him on his back, cover his mouth with my hand, and say no bite. I hold it for a while maintiaing eye contact. Eventually i let go and he tries to bite again. SHould i repeat the procedure or just put him in the crate (time out). I can't walk away from him. He refuses to be ignored... :)

I resently had a visitor who brought their dog with them while on vacation. And It had flees. Now my dog and two cats have flees and I don't know what to do to get rid of them. I can't use bombs or spray. And my cat is sensitive to flee treatments. And the powders and shampoo's do not work. Are there any home remedies to suggest? HELP

I haven't been on here very long, but a lot of you seem to think that vet's should allow people to make payments. Why? You took on the responsbility of an animal- you need to take care of it. If you can't pay for vet services- don't get an animal. Do you go to the grocery store and say "OOPS- can you bill me, I don't have enough money this week." Veterinary offices are buisnesses just like everywhere else- they have bills, overhead, inventory and staff to pay. It is not their responsiblity to take care of your sick pet when you can't afford it. I mean seriously- do I go to your place of work and ask for a payment plan? Do breeders allow you to make payments on the pup you bought? Before you get an animal- make sure you can afford it. You can expect to average around $350- $500 PER PET a year just in vet services- vaccines, heartworm prevention and dental cleanings. So, then you can add in another $200+ for a high quality food. Emergency= $1000+. Can you afford this???

My brother caught a large mouth bass at the lake when it was a baby about 7 months ago. The fish was so small it was almost transparent. He put it in he 75 gallon fish tank at home and it has grown considerably. He says that when it gets a little bigger, he's gonna grill it. The fish has grown accustomed to him and his family and it even comes to the corner of the tank when it sees him. I get pissed every time he starts to talk about grilling his pet fish. Does this sound wrong to anyone else? Or am I too sensitive, I do eat fish myself.

I need help i have a one year old dauchie mix (Maggie) that ive had since she was 5 weeks old! She is VERY jealous and protective of me! She bullies our lab mix (Bud) when he tries to get cuddly with me, but hes fine he can handle himself because of his size! Problem is we found a new chiuaua (cant spell, sorry) and she gets so vicious with him im afraid if she had the oppertunity to be alone with him she would kill him!

I have plenty of room around my new home in the country to raise dogs. I need to find a pet broker to tell me what kinds of dogs people want and be able to depend on the broker to buy them when they are ready. I live in the Fort Smith, Arkansas area.

Hello~
We are planing to open up a pet store in Anderson, CA by 1st weekend in Dec. 2006. The Store's name will be " Pet Paradise" ( If you can think of a good slogan ( Like petco's is " Where the pets go) for our store that would be great!)
The outside of the store will be bright yellow and the sign will be blue and green neon. Once you walk in, the floor ( if the health dept. will allow us to do this.) will be covered with sand. You will hear tropical music in the back ground. The checkout counter ( if you can think of a good design for the check out counter that would be great) will be in front. In the middle of the store you will see a small rivier go through the store. This is where we will have our Koi, large goldfish and Turtles. There will be a bridge ( we will have a net that will seprate the fish from turtles under the bridge.) that you will walk over to get to the fish area. We will be selling fresh & saltwater fish.

I know this isnt the place to sell things but I am desperate...I have 2 ferrets to find a home for, they must go together. I would like at least $150.00 for both of them plus all of they're supplies. I have 1 week to find them a new home. They are very loved and the only reason I am getting rid of them is because I am going to the road with my husband and am unable to take them with us. if you are interested please leave your email in the awnser.
And if you insist on making some smart *** remark that has nothing to do with this I will report you. Thanxs!
