We're getting guinea pigs. the neighbours in particular have rat encouraging habits. keeping rat numbers down is hard; all we can do is take measures on our property but for each rat rmoved, more move in from next door. will rats bother the guinea pigs or are they able to cope with them?

A question a minute ago about folks mis-representing themselves here on Answers made me wonder:

What would you do if you knew someone was lying about their dog experience here in a BIG way? No, a HUGE way. If you knew this person claimed multiple AKC titles for a dog that were impossible?

There is someone here who is doing just that.

Does it bug you? Do you care?

I personally don't care if your dog is has a title, a pedigree or even a tail, you shouldn't have to lie about your dog to make it sound special.

It does irk me a bit to see someone boasting about phony achievements with their dog. It also bothers me to see someone using a string of fake credentials to support their canine advice.


So, does it bother anyone else? Would you contact the faker and let them know you know?

My cat is about 8 months old... His breath is really gross. He tries to lick me out of affection and I have to devert him from it, because the smell is so bad. Even my room mate says it smells. I don't know what to do about it. Are there any safe and effective solutions?

Thanks.

I have a 1 year old Mini Dachshund who this past october was neutered. No he has a problem with taking a leak when he gets excited, gets a bath, plays, unknown reasons. Is there something that can be done other than going to the vet. I am not rich and this poor dog cost me lotsa money before, because he is also a parvo survivor.

that no one really knows who is who on here? I mean, those of us who have been here a while have a good idea of who's full of sh!t and who knows what they're talking about, but for the new people?

How many kids are on here taking the advice that sounds the easiest but isn't necessarily the best because they don't know any better?

I think it's scary. Don't you? (Especially when the questions are about sick or injured dogs.)

I have a yorkshire terrier/ toy poodle mix. I've heard so many different suggestions. One vet seriously said 3 times a year, but that is just gross. My dog tends to smell bad often, and I have already asked the vet why. He just has grows his fur really quickly and plays outside a lot. Any suggestions?

I am 21 and have loved all animals since i knew what they were. I've been dying to have a dog ALL my life. But i can not afford one at this point, and i also live in an apartment. Although they allow dogs, they have breed restrictions, and i also feel that an apartment is not adequate for a large breed dog. And i want a large breed dog. I have done my research, and i plan to rescue all of my pets in the future. I also work at a vet clinic, and seeing dogs and puppies everyday helps. But it is killing me not having my own, i want a dog so bad it hurts. Does anyone else feel this way? Or have you felt this way before you got your dog?
