My puppy is four months old... hes a very hiper pup (miniture dachshund) I was wondering when I get him fixed will there be a big difference in his hiperness? Will he calm down a lot.. or is the change not that big of a difference? By the way how old does he have to be to get fixed?

My cat has not moved much for 3 whole days. i am not sure if it has moved during the night... I think it is dehydrated, because i made it move and it went to go drink then went to the litter box, went to go drink, and pooped on the carpet.

I gave it a little bowl of water and it drank some of it. is there any way to help give it more water without having to force it into the cat? has anyone else dealt with this problem?

Also, i do not want to take her to the vet if possible.

Ok so my husband told me that disneyland has a dog canel. So that your dog is not left in the car or the hotel room while you have a fun filled day at disneyland. Is this true? If so do you have a phone number or a web address so that i may get in contact with them? PLEASE ONLY ANSWER THIS QUESTION IF YOU HAVE A REAL ANSWER!!! Thanks for your help.

I'm thinking of getting a dog. I live in an apartment so I dont want anything huge. I want a dog that I can take on walks/jogs. I also want one that is easy to train and is not yappy. I'm allergic to everything so I would like something with a fine coat that doesnt shed too much.
I had a mini pinscher and loved the dog. It did bark alot, but it was fairly easy to train and I also had it litter trained when it was cold/rainy out.
So I was thinking of an Italian greyhound. Anyone have one? anyone have other suggestions?
Thanks!

Four days ago my kitten developed a swollen lip. He seems fine and eats good. Wondering if while wrestling with our other cat he got bit?

It doesn't seem to be getting worse, how long should I wait before a vet visit?

Also, is there anything I can put on it. It's not draining and no puss.

This question never fails to amuse me. My dogs run all around the yard, day and night, and never ever step in their poop. Yet, people manage to step in one pile in a huge open space.

My Min Pin had puppies in Oct. I was worried about Cleos first puppy Missy, and the new puppies.
Well Missy became a very good mommy to the puppies, doing everything her mommy did for them only she was worse. She was very protective of them too.
Towards the end Missy was so ready to have them go, and this past weekend the last one found a home.
They are happy and so are we. Can't wait til the end of the month they have a date with the vet to be spayed. NO MORE PUPPIES!
Just wanted to Thank all of you who helped me through the tough times it was greatly appreciated. I applied all the advice and came through it.

I have a 3 yr old chow mix who pulls on the leash like there's no tomorrow. I have tried choke collars and he just chokes himself like mad. A harness worked for a little while but then he went right back to pulling as hard as he could again. I've tried training methods like making him stop and sit everytime he pulls, but he doesn't seem to care. He is more interested in sniffing than listening to me! I've even tried to be harsh (yanking on the leash and saying NO!) but it doesn't faze him. I've heard great things about the Halti but I am apprehensive about spending money on something else that might not work. Your opinions?? Please help! I would love to walk my dog again but I can't take the strain on my arms and legs (he is a superdog and I'm 5'3" 100lbs) Thanks.

My shih tsu is not eating, He eats a little and only if we offer him the food by hand, and even so, some times he just smells it and turns around. He seems healthy and playful as ever, but he just won't eat much. I'm concerned, please help!

My brother's dog is insane! Whenever it sees anyone it runs over and bites their leg so hard that there's bite-marks everywhere. Trust me, it did that to me twice.

The dog never ever shuts-up at night. It not only left us wide awake, but also our neighbors.

Should I put the dog to sleep? My brother said that he wont mind?
