Brownies for dogs. Not only will we have obese people running around, but now we'll have obese dogs too. Next they'll have weight loss products for dogs too because owners overindulge their pets...

I watched Animal Rescue last night and a woman and her son were banned from keeping animals for the rest of therir lives because of cruelty. Does anyone actually check up on these people to make sure that they don't have pets.

My 4 month old PomChi has been vomiting latley about an hour or so after he eats... I brought him to the Vet and he said that my dog has a cold, and gave him 3 shots of medicine. My dog now seems much worst so I called the Vet and he recommened that I take the dog out for walks and so on and it should help him heal. I usually do take my dog out everytime im free. I have tried to change his diet but that doesnt help as-well... What should I do? Or does anyone know what could be wrong with my dog and how can I help him? I live in China and the I dont really trust any of these Vets or the medicine, but I have no other choice. Can someone please help?

As a rescuer, I see people choosing dogs for many reasons...looks, ease of care, size, 'just always had as a kid", etc but often little regard is given to the actual temperament, exercise or training needs of the animal and therefore the animal is 'dumped' in a shelter or given away. I'm interested in knowing how YOU choose your dog...

I was getting a few bites just a couple of days ago and I didn't know why or what was doing it. Then yesterday there was nothing.... Now TODAY on the other hand is a different story!! My house must be infested. I have a cat who doesn't even go outside and my dog has been outside all summer. How did I get them? But more importantly how can I get rid of them?

I've been thinking about getting one but I have a nine-month Chihuahua and want to make sure there won't be any problems between them. I've read a lot of info about ferrets and it says that breeds of terriers sometimes aren't compatible.My Chi doesn't get along with other dogs besides Chihuahuas though she loves cats. She will play with any cat she sees and has never bitten one. So do you think she would get along with a ferret and vice-versa? Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

One of them is new. How long till they get along? One is male, one female. Large cage, plenty of food and water, lots of cool toys, and they each have their own space. Yet, they are really quarrelsome (acquired one of them yesterday).

If given the choice, my cat, TC, would rather rub up against either my feet or my fiance's, rather than let us pet him with our hands. This is the first cat I've ever had that is like this, so I have to ask, is this normal? Why does he do this?

I gave my dog cup cake paper to lick the crumbs but he just gulped it down. Will it pass out normally or will something happen to it? Please help.

Any certain brand you prefer? Do you vary the diet at all? Have you ever tried making your own?
