A friend gave me a nice cotton comforter (padded) that I love, and last night when I went to bed I smelled urine. Does anybody know how to get the smell out? I have already thrown out two kitchen rugs recently. Everybody says you cant't get the smell out in the wash, but there must be SOMETHING out there that works, I don't want to lose this new comforter. Thanks very much in advance for any serious answers. Thanks from my kittie and me!

Why does my dog, in general, not want to eat?

She LOVES treats and other random stuff, but doesn't seem to 'like' the dog food. She doesn't eat much of it, and only eats if she is REALLY hungry... We try to mix other foods, but she ends up spitting the dry dog food out...

We tried mixing with milk, and she ate well for about a week, and then it seems as if she is just bored with milk now...

What can be done? Do I just feed her other food?

She is approaching 9 months now.

Thanks in advance.

We have had a new 1 year cat added to our house, Our cat is about 5 years old. We intorduced them gradually and they are both fixed inside male cats, but when we let them on their own our cat hisses and runs and hides from other cat. when we find him he is shaking because he is scared. Is that normal? will he get over it?

I wonder how long the ordor lasts, and does the smell eventually go away? Do they let the ordor release when holding them, and does the smell wash off easily?

We have a cat, well we have three...but this one in particular, we named him VADER. We named him that because he is an evil little ****! I am not joking! He is smarter than the average cat, I swear that when you look him in the eyes he is reading your mind! You can just SEE the thoughts running through his little brain! We inherited him from my best friend, her child was having headaches and she asked me to take him for a couple of weeks...well weeks turned into months and we started to love him so we ended up keeping him since my friend didn't want him back. We named him VADER after DARTH VADER, the evil one! LOL Vader startes trying to wake me up around 4:30 every morning to feed him....I have to lock him in the garage to get any sleep. He will jump on the bed, bother me, walk away for two or three minutes and come back repeatedly, if that don't work, he will knock my stuff off the bedside table till I get pissed and get up.

my partner and I are looking into getting a border terrier, but we both work 4 days a week, however he doesn't leave the house until 9.30 am and I am usually back at 4.30pm. we also have two different family members who are prepared to come at lunch time and take the dog out for a walk. we also don't have a garden but live right near the beach. Is this the best dog for us and if so what age is best? if not can you recommend any other medium size dog that would be better suited to our lifestyle? we will be totally commited to the dog we get and just want to make sure we're getting the right one for us.

Kidney infection in my dog, and now my cat.How can two animals get the same life threating disease? I lived in a house with a pool in the backyard for 4 years. I had my cat snickers when I moved in. I bought snoopdog 2 years later. They allways were drinking water out of that pool against my wishes(how can you stop them) I had to move out when snoop was almost 2 years old. About 11 months later snoop got very ill, very fast. Snoop had an operation, that was very $$ Thank you Bark,ASPCA,ANIMAL ASST LEAGE. Snoop has passed on. Now my cat has the same problem. Could it have been the poolwater?

My Glowlight Tetras are getting beautiful light bluish tips on their fins. The Pet Store woman said they were getting "breeding colors." Does that mean they will spawn in my tank? (assuming of course there are males and femail in the tank) And does that give me an indication of their age?

Everytime we get a visitor, my dog Mandy grabs a stuffed animal and brings it to the visitor. If the visitor doesn't take it, she just follows them around and is restless. Is she just being friendly, or is that a behavior that all dogs have?
