My puppy growls at me and has his back hair raise before he eats his dinner. His back legs shake and he snarls and his hair rises. This doen't happen when my husband feeds him. We have always lightly pet our puppy and say "good boy" when he eats to make sure this would never happen. Now it does.. What is the reason behind this only happening to me and how do I get it to stop?

My 11 month old dachshund has what looks like his skin on the little pad above his dueclaw (i call it his elbow LOL) is scraped or a layer of skin is peeled off. maybe he scraped it on something but he has a spot where it is red. what can i do? does he need to go to a vet? he keeps licking it, should i not let him do that?

My dog bit the neighbor girl. He had the potentiol to do so, he has tried to attack 2 other ppl but didn't actually bite them. He goes crazy when someone new enters our yard. We keep him in the kennel or on a 40 ft. tie out in the back yard but it has been too hot out back for him so we tied a 20 footer to the garage with the door open where he can pee and then go to the shade out side the door, the girls ran through the garage, and one stopped to pet him and he basically jumped up on her scratched her tummy and bit her hand! I am horrified and now i will probably need to put him down. This bothers me, but otherwise i will have to post a sign, kennel him and muzel him if out walking. Not sure what to do, he's not 2 until Sep. and a 95 pound black lab. He is great with our family but hates new ppl, so can't give him away as he'd bite them, humane won't take him, any imput?

it said that when dogs lick each other/ppl, it's a gesture from their days as a puppy, a 'feed me' reflex. does this mean that when they lick us, they're not showing affection? if not, how do they show it?

I just adopted two terrier mix dogs, a male and a female. I don't like their current names and would like to change them (they're only a year old). I would like to name them after a famous or well known male/female duo. My first pick Bonnie & Clide. Any suggestions?

i just set up my first reptile home. it is small only 10 gal, and all i have in it is 2 anoles. my question is, how long should i leave the basking lamp on? should it be on 24 hours, or only a few hours a day? it is fairly warm in the room and it is by a window so they get some sunlight.

Hi,
I love animals very much and especially cats. I can't stand abuse of animals and I have found so many people that don't like cats. I currently take care of my elderly father, but I would like to one day buy a small piece of land so that I can rescue cats and care for them. I would love ideas on how to get this accomplished and how to seek some aide like from vets to get the cats spayed so they don't have more kittens and also some help on food and cat litter supplies etc.

I have an eastern box turtle and a small water turtle (I believe either a florida red-belly or a river cooter). I have just built an outdoor enclosure that is about 8 feet by 20 feet long that will have a small pond in it (Like you can buy at Home Depot made of plastic) with filtration. I have planted a few things, aloe, cucumbers, tomatoes in the enclosure. It is meant for the box turtle but I would like to put the little water turtle in the same enclosure but want to make sure they will be ok together. I figure that in this area (Alabama) they would live near each other in the wild anyway.
