She seems like she's looking for something. She digs her nails into the carpet like its dirt. I take her outside about 3 times a day so she can dig outside, but she still does it. Why?

Our beloved dog we thought was lost over 3 months ago and I just found out that my upstairs neighbor's daughter gave him to a friend of hers. How do I approach my neighbor her mother about this. We aren't close but we are civil to one another becuse we share the house. I'm upset as well as my children whom her daughter gives a ride to school to my older daughter. It's just how can you look your neighbor in the face when you know they are looking for their dog in all the time you knew where their dog was in the first place?

I was able to find a store that sells the Innova brand of food and purchased some of that. I am very pleased with the ingredients and will start him transitioning over to that today. This is the place where I buy the food: http://completepetmart.com/dogorcatvendors.html I read that food should be alternated every few months, what would be the next best brand after Innova that they offer?

Also, what is the difference between Innova and Innova Evo?

Second, we just got some snow, so the ground is a little slick. When he goes out before bed I have to carry him out the front because there is a very large step that he can't get up (he just had surgery) so I am concerned about falling. I know that sal can be dangerous for dogs though, and he eats everything, even though I try to stop him. What brand should I be looking for? I had Wal-Mart, K-Mart, Tractor Supply and Ace to look for it, so that would be only options that I could get now, when I need it.

Thanks

i was thinking of rearing chichen to eat and bald ones would be ideal as there would be no plucking involved

I used to live with a cat and he was best friends with the cat next door. I wouldn't believe it to hear it, but they used to call on each other through the cat flaps, and you would see them playing together in the garden!!

I'd like to keep my rabbit in a hutch outside, but keep a cage inside for when it's very hot or very cold, any suggestions?

I read the question just posted and now I'm curious. How many dogs have you owned and tell me all about them! I'll start off...

I've owned 4 dogs total.

Tasha -- She was a Boxer - Great Dane mix. She lived to be 15 almost 16 years old. Cancer, paralysed from waste down. She was very enthusiastic.

Cupcake -- 8 years old. A miniature long-haired dachshund. Ate anti-freeze poured on our lawn by some punk. More of a laid-back dog.

Buffy -- She was a cocker spaniel. She lived to be 15 yrs. old. Cancer in her brain. She calmed down in her later years but was a very playful pooch.

Lucky - 4 years old. Rottweiler Dalmatian mix. Still alive and very healthy! The most hyperactive large dog you've ever seen!

Please elaborate! Thanks! :D

I have a 75 gal. reef tank and I am having bad trouble with green bubble algae. It is spreading everywhere! I know to remove it without bursting bubbles. I know not to just do nothing because they mature and spread spores. (learned that the hard way) I hand remove all I can but on the larger live rock with corals attatched I can't just pluck it out of the water and rinse it off to remove spores. I have heard emerald crabs work , but I am afraid they might start eating my coral. Any advise on the removal of this pain would be greatly appreciated.

Hi there, my 5 month baby girl who is perfect except, that she is overweight, acts like we are starving her always, eats her food in 15 seconds, and eats our other dogs feces, and mud! We have tried deter pills for our other dog, it didn't "deter her". The vet had us switch her food from Iams small/toy breed puppy, to Regular Iams puppy. Hasn't seemed to help. She is happy, active, has a beautiful coat, just this weird hunger and eating fixation. Any insight, or a different food reccomendation? We have never had a dog do this.
Thank You,
Jena

Hi, I have named so many animals (helping others) that I'm out of names myself. This is a sweet, affectionate little puppy, his colors are silver, grey, and brown and he is very fluffy. Any ideas?

I've seen so many questions with people wanting to house guinea pigs and rabbits together. I'd like everyone to read this! They should not be housed together unless you want a dead guinea pig. http://www.guineapigcages.com/rabbits.htm

Here's the question..."Did you read this?"

They both lived alone for 6 years - now we're married and living in a new house for both of them. We've been living here 7 months now,and they STILL don't get along! The husky just wants to play, the cat growls because she is scared, which makes the husky freak out and go after her. It just keeps escalating from there!

Right now, I have 1 betta in a 2.5 gallon tank. There is always a problem with algae and its like it always grows. Yes, I keep the light on for quite a while, but it seems like now that it has already been ravaged by algae before, it dosn't take that much to make it grow again. To kinda slow the progress of this problem I was thinking about either a chemical solution to the problem, like some drops that won't harm my fish, or another fish. The thing is I don't know how betta interact with other non-betta fish. You know the algae eater fish, the ones that constantly stick to the glass or the bottom of the tank? So I wondering could it be possible to have them live together. I've had my betta for about 7 months now and I don't wanna harm him.

I have a friend whos entire family is big on badass dogs. Thing is, they seldom feed them and not a damned one of them is fixed, male or female. The females they don't breed intentionally, and they're mutts to begin with and are pumping out at least a litter of "free to wherever" pups every year. That's per female, and I don't know anymore how many they have.

They've also got a huge rottie, obviously PB that's kept outside on a ten foot chain. Never gets off the chain because he's "too big". He's a little over two years old and still doesn't want to kill, but with those owners he will soon enough. Their pit is in the same boat with a slightly longer chain, only he doesn't get anything more than food and water because he's "mean" They're planning on studding them both, the pit will be making fighting pits.

Is this grounds for being reported? Can it be done annonomously?

Hey I'm thinking of getting a Guinea Pig. I've had a hamster but think his cage would probably too small for a Guinea Pig. Also are there Guinea Pig breeders or are the ones at pet stores sufficient enough? I don’t want to buy one that was mass-produced and has some weird quirky behavior. Thanks.
