So, we got a new cat, and my dog eats her food(of course), we let him because he doesn't eat much of it and she eats his as well, but since he has started eating her food his breath is RANK! and i mean the kind of breath you can smell from a mile away. I brush his teeth regularly (once or twice a month) but nothing seems to help. i can't keep him away from her food so what can i do to freshen him up? Thanks!

specifically in replacing new water.

all i know is to pour some anti chlorine and methylene blue after changing a new fresh water.

is it ok to pour those chemicals while the fish is still there? some said you have to pull out the fish first before using those chemicals and put them back afterwards inside the aquarium after using those chemicals. for more or less 5-10 mins.how true is that?

my equipments are irrator and overhead circulating water filter w/ submersible pump.

please advice how do take care of this fresh water pets.

thanks.

Estimate of how long it takes for a dog to get it? As long as your doing it the correct way anyway.

I have only been on a week, and Im not impatient, I just would like to know how long it usually takes pups/dogs to understand the rules of the pack, lol

Does simply yelling "NO!!!" when he does something wrong (like getting up on the dining room table) make any difference? Can I spank him? Put him in his crate? Help!

Hi, I got a puppy weimeriner and he's 3 months old & I try to take him outside for the bathroom like the book says when he wakes up & he's done playing & about 20 mins after he eats. Okay, I was taking him out like every hour and I personally think that's too much and wanted to try to make it longer between outside times like every 2 hours, but when I wait he then goes pee in the house. Is it normal for a 3 month old puppy to have to go out every hour or should I keep trying to train him to wait every 2 hours, because while I'm at work & when he's in his cage he is very good about not going and that's about 9 hours and then at night time too, he holds it for about 6-7 hours. He has had his occasional pee accident in the cage over night, but not too often.

Also about how long does it usually take for him to be potty trained so I don't have to put him in the cage anymore, because I do not like having to do that to him.

Thanks!

There are so many,"My dog won't LET me...." & "My dog keeps...." whatever.
*LET* you????

Are you people AFRAID of your own dog?
Aren't you bigger,stronger, SMARTER than any dog???

ELEPHANTS can be trained to get their nails done & you can't even MAKE your own dog be still & accept it????
If you call it "teaching" or "behavior modification",would it less intimadating/scary than "TRAINING"?
LOL

Please don't abuse animals. They can't tell you to stop. They can't speak. They just have to be abused. And another thing we shouldn't abuse animals because they were here before us. Please don't abuse them. What do you guys think on the topic?

I tried when she was a kitten but she just wouldn't do it. I gave up and taped it open for her (I know, this was probably a bad idea, but I have a bad back and couldn't keep bending down to teach her how to go through.) Now the weather is so cold that I want to close the flap and teach her to use it properly. I have thrown treats through it, gone round the other side and tried to coax her through with treats or toys, shown her how it can be pushed open, tried holding her and leading her through, but she just struggles and is scared. What else can I do?! I can't understand why she can't learn this! She's very intelligent in other ways. I am trying leaving it closed now, hoping that necessity will be the master of invention, but it makes me so upset seeing her looking longingly outside and not able to get out. I don't know how long I can harden my heart for!

Im going there today to tell her to keep her outdoor cats away from our house. We go out the front it smells like piss. We go out the back it smells like piss. We cant even keep our sons toys outside because they will piss all over them. Is there a product or should I call animal control?

We have 2 goldfish, 1 orange and 1 white. 20 gallon Eclipse Tank. They are about 2 yrs old and were doing fine until today. Today the white one turned red near the head (see photo) and acting very listless at the bottom of the tank. Ammonia levels are in the safe range. The orange one seems unaffected and is keeping the white one company, sometimes nibbling at the white one. The white one looks like he is about to die! I need your help guys, my son is going to be devastated if something happens!

I brought a new ragdoll kitten home on Saturday (20th) afternoon. He has is still a bit wary and jumpy, but on the whole has settled in quite well. He hardly ate for the first 24 hours he was here and to my knowledge has not drunk any water yet, even though he knows where it is. He finally used the litter tray on Sunday (21st) night - and he peed a LOT then. He's used it again since but has yet to produce anything - ahem!- solid. He goes and sits in the tray and does all the usual scratching etc, but then he starts making soft mewing noises and then just gets up and walks off. And as of today (22nd) he has not achieved anything!
Is he constipated from not drinking enough and if so, how can i get him to drink more?

PS: There is "Royal Canin" dry food left out for him (and a bowl of water) and he has a kitten wet food pouch morning and evening. He is 5 months old.
