my vet recommended science diet (even gave me 2 sample packs) hard kitten food. my kitten wasn't eating it. he i only 1 pound & i think it is too hard for his teeth. i bought the soft science diet & he will eat around the hard. now he won't eat that either. so today i gave him some 9 lives adult soft cat food mixed in & he ate the whole thing. i thought science diet was the best for his growth but he won't eat the soft or hard? what should i do? i think the 9 lives smells better & that's y he likes it.

I have asked this once before adn I will ask it again.. why do people continue to breed? I know more than 1/2 the breeders out there do it for the money, but the other ones.. doesn't make sence. You can say it's for the love of the dog, but if you loved the dog so much why wouldn't you RESCUE the ones that are in shelters? or being abused? or used in puppy mills? Instead you are just adding to the problem by bringing more into this world.
If you are a breeder who breeds for show, to improve the breed, and not to "sell" to strangers on the street, then this question isn't for you. It's for the people who claim they're "reputable" breeders just because they let their dogs sleep inside. It takes years and years of experience to actually become a good breeder.. if you want to make some quick cash do something else.. become a stripper or something, i dont' care, but don't let others suffer because of your greediness.

I love my dog more than anything, but she just doesn't want to learn certain things. She knows some things, like "paw" and not to eat until I tell her to, but when it comes to like "sit" or "lay" she just won't learn.

Am I teaching her wrong, or are some dogs just not meant to be smart?

the bed and won't come out. It is like he has done something bad. He is just acting hyper not himself. Could he have an ear infection or be constipated? He has never acted like this before. He is a 5 yr old yorkie male. Any help would be of great help!

But my mom tells me he cries whenever I'm away.

It's so cute.. When I went to the bathroom, my mom says he stayed there until I came out, trying to look under the door. Aww..

But whenever I'm near he runs away. Is this normal?

Is this some kind of playing with me?

He also sometimes goes to me so I pet him. And he also sleeps on my bed. For some reason he doesn't like his box, where I put my old blanket, but rather likes my bed.

Breeder, shelter, rescue group, pet store? From an ad in the paper? A stray that was dropped off? Where did your furry companion come from?

She is almost two years old, and we have never had a problem with her missing her litter before. Wondering if there are other signs we should be looking for.

I am getting a new Wesite puppy but have a dilemna. I live in an apartment with a small balcony and work a normal 40 hour/week job. I've heard about people training their dog to use a liter box but I've always taken my dogs outside since I've always had big dos. I'm just afraid that the dog will not be able to hold it through a normal work day (at first I will have someone come at lunch to take it out). So I'm torn, do I train it to use puddle pads, liter box, or teach it to take it outside when they have to go? Or any other great ideas? I need advice... quick!

My dog had puppies 3 weeks ago. All the other puppies eyes opened except one's. There is yellow crust on the eye lines. I can tell the eyes can open because I cleaned off the crust, but more crust keeps coming from the eyes. I don't know if it's normal or not. PLease help me.

If so, what kind do you breed, how much do you sell them for, and are you able to make any kind of profit?

Does anyone have any ideas for cat toys that I can make and not have to buy? My cat really likes to play with shoelaces but that seems to be all.

I brought my cat over to a friend's place and all of a sudden the cat starts desperately trying to dig a hole in the carpet and lets loose with the worst bout of runs I have ever seen. My buddy is really mad at me. What could I have done?
