Ok, last Thursday, I went to a pet store that was about 30 minutes away from where I live. I feel in-love with these two beautiful little pups. A 10 week old Shih-Tzu (female) and a 7 week old Lhasa Apso (female). The Shih-Tzu was originally $750 but price was marked down to $350. Lhasa Apso was $899 - then marked down to $399. The Lhasa came with a free Kong (valued at $29.99) for some reason. I held them both and instantly fell in-love with them.
They both were vacc'ed, MC'ed, vet checked (by their vet), wormed, flea'd and came with a free $100 voucher to spend in the store and they could be both desexed there for free at 6 months old.
I asked a few different workers if the pups came from PUPPY MILLS because both dogs had a cold and kennel cough and the Shih-Tzu had dis-charge from eyes and nose. They both said NO.

I had never been to that pet store before so do not trust them completely.

Should I buy the dogs?
ALL advice is needed - don't want to make the wrong choice.

I would like to purchase a land snail...but I've found that the Large African Land Snails are illegal. I was wondering if there are any legal ones that I could get in the U.S.

My 10 week old Spanador (Cocker Spaniel/ Labordor Mix) is in a chewing phase. I have given him chew toys but he won't chew on them. Instead he loves to bite at my fingers or toes. How can I stop this without popping him with something?

I am about to purchase a Rhodesian Ridgeback. He is the runt of the litter. The breeder says he has a slight overbite (his lower jaw totally lined up with the upper jaw.) What are the cons of getting a runt? And is an overbite a big deal?

We have a neutered male golden retriever that penetrated a female golden this morning. Is this common behavior for a neutered dog??? I am now a bit concerned that perhaps the vet did something wrong when he was neutered over 6 months ago. We are going to have the female spayed next week, since we just adopted her.

okay i wad reading the boxes at the pet store for sea salt and aqarium salt because I needed to treat my guppy for a tial problem. The aquarium salt said it was for reducing stress for freshwaterfish and helping cure diesises and the sea salt was for making a saltwater aquarium.

so heres my question

since guppys prefer brackish water could you acually use the amount of aquarium salt for helping keeping freashwater fish healthy instead of having to get the really expensive sea salt and then I could also add a pleco or something casue i really want one.

i went away just overnight and i came home and my male guppys tail is all shreded. Its not fin rot I can tell. He is in with 2 females and it seems like that attacked him but they have been together for a while what could have happened? Also the females looked a bit wierd. Instead of the blue they normally have around their stomachs it was black then their skin looked like it had ich on it. I fed htem and an hour later they looked normal again. So I just bought a breeders net and put the male in there for now and treated the tank with that aquarium salt(not sea salt) that is acually ment for curing fish diesises and reducing stress. Is there anything else I should do or did I do everything right?

Hopefully not a fruit fly. Maybe turtle or parrot?
