Letting your cat out of the house to run around free is neglect? it's not safe for them to be out there alone. and very rude to neighbors who have to have them using their yard and garden as a bathroom and cause unneeded stress and tourcher on the person that accidently hits them with their car.

not to mention your cat getting poisoned, in a fight injured. it's not a safe world out there for them to be in.

how can anyone do that to a cat? isn't that abuse and neglect??

why does my kitten like to bite, she did leave her mom fairly early. Some of the bites are from anger. How can I stop her before she gets older and hurts someone. For example, I was holding her and she was purring and out of no where she bit my lip. Playing with her, she will bite and scratch at you. Any suggestions?

I recently moved to the country and would like to get a horse. I have very little experience with horses; I started taking riding lessons 3 months ago from a private family who also breeds horses. They have taught me alot, but I'd like to get more experience. An ideal situation would be to find someone who would take me into their tutilage, maybe a stable owner or a trainer, and let me work with them part-time so I can get some experience. I would be willing to work for little or no money. I live in a small community and I don't know very many people. No one seems to advertise in the yellow pages or on the internet, so I'm not sure how to find someone who would be willing to try this kind of arrangement. Does anyone have any suggestions as to how I can become more experienced with working with horses, before I jump into getting my own?

We got him from the Humane Society and his previous owners didn't feed him very well. So, he's really quite tiny, with long gray hair. He's the absolute cutest.

We were thinking of naming him Kramer. Good/bad/other ideas?

There is a dog at a house outside of my work that i am like 95% sure is being abused. He has been tied up to the same tree on a 6 foot leash for the last 3-4 years rain/ snow/ hail or otherwise. he is a white dog that looks more brown than anything cuz he is so dirty!! Poor thing. I want to take this dog home with me so bad! He is a very sweet dog too. Would it be so bad under the circumstances to steal him? I would feel awful stealing someones dog but the obviously don't care about him that much and I could give him a loving home. WHAT DO YOU THINK?

I was wondering if the cheaper brand food works the same as the expensive kind of food??

What are the side effects if I choose the cheaper kind?? Do they cause cancer or they become sick??

I have had 2 sleepless nights just to tend to my puppy Beagle who cries in the evenings in his crate. I notice he takes 1.5 hours of sleep and 30 minutes play in between in regular intervals. I just do not want him though to just roam around the room because I need him to get used to staying in his crate. What do you think is the best thing to do?

She is a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, is 7 1/2 years old and is overweight. She has never had anything wrong with her before (even minor ailments) so I am extremely worried about her. She was spayed around 3 or 4 years ago. Could anybody tell me what causes this.....I would appreciate as much information as possible as to any possible cause. I know I need to see the vet as it seems serious, but in the meantime, please could you help me with any possibility of what it is. Thanks for taking your time to read this.

I have owned two ball pythons for over 10years, my husband was transferred to France and I left my snakes to the care of my brother while we are getting installed. My brother can no longer take care of them and it looks like I am in France for many years to come.
Airlines do not allow you to ship a snake unless you are an approved carrier but they do not share the list of the approved carriers. I am also having trouble to find the correct paperwork necessary to be done. When I called the fish and wildlife service tehy said I needed a permit but for the permit I need to prove they were captive bred.When I bought them they told me they were captive bred but never got any paperwork proving this.
Does anyone have experience with transporting and paperwork for international travel for reptiles?
By the way I am attached to them so giving them to a shelter is not an option.
Thanks in advance for your help

While I'm out at work, my dog sleeps on my couch. Is there a chemical or product on the market that will keep him off my sofa while I'm out?

My dog 4 pounder has been puking for the past two days. She seems ok not lethargic and she did have a bowel movement yesterday before the puking. I plan to take her to the vet today. Has anyone ever had this happened to there pet. She has had diarrhea before and she generally just eats very little and it passes in one day. But with this she has an appetite, eats and about an hour later she vomits her digested food.
