I have a 4month old female pomeranian I want to train her to potty/poop in 1 area only like underneath a newspaper, toilet bowl or poop tray. I have read a lot re this topic but none of them seem to be comprehensive, effective or make sense. Can someone give me the SIMPLEST yet EFFECTIVE STEPS to potty train a pup. Can my pup still learn potty training considering she is already 4months old??

I'm getting a black and silver miniature schnauzer puppy and I was just wondering what people recommend as the best shampoos for a pup and later on for a dog. I don't intend to show him but I want him to look his best, in colour and coat condition. Also important to me is that the shampoo be as natural as possible and biodegradable etc.

Just today I adopted a German Shepherd Dog, 6 months old, female. She was in a good foster home for a few months. I am a dog trainer, and this is my third dog. I am being slow about introducing them. I was seeking a dog with solid nerves, good drive, and energetic. I left my apt. for about 2 hours, and I left the dog in the livingroom. When I came back, she was barking, but did not come to the door. I came in the room and she was cowering behind a table, when I reached for her, she peed and cowered. She is suspicious and barks a lot. She also screamed like she was being killed when my other dog played rough with her and kind of pinned her. I am very upset. For those who are experienced, do you think this dog could develop more confidence and solid nerves? At 6 moths, is her personality set? Do I have a GSD with bad nerves who will always be spooked?

Why does everybody like chihuahuas? Like... it gets on my nerves. They're all so mean, and yippy, and they bite. And when they yip at someone, all the owners ever do is pick it up and hold it, and in a soft reassuring voice say "It's ok" that just teaches the chihuahua that it's ok to be mean. You don't be all nice to it when it acts bad, you ignore it.

I mean... I guess I'm just going on a rant here. So... I don't know exactly what I want you to say. Soo... here's 2 points, and if feel like answering... go ahead and just talk about what you think about what I'm saying.

I have 3 mother cats that each had a litter of kittens there were 17 total i just recently gave one away making it 16 kittens. I cannot afford the health care or advice from a vet but i am having a problem with the kittens.

The kittens in question are 8-10 weeks old. I'm having a problem with their eyes crusting over and puss coming out of them. What is the cause of this problem and how do i fix it. Other than the eyes they seem to be pretty healthy and love to play and romp.

Could what their eating be causing this problem?

What's the meanest dog you've ever encountered, and what did it do to you? Did it bite you? Or snarl? Or growl, or what? And what kind of breed was it? Or did it look like?

For me, I think it's probably chihuahua, just about every chihuahua I've met has either snapped at me, or bit me playfully, and it hurt. Or this lab that every time I walk past this fence is just sitting there in the yard and sticks its head out the fence and barks at us. I'm sure if we got close to it, it would bite.

Or there was a dog that bit me once, I don't know exactly what it was. I was kinda young, but it got loose of its owner, and it circled around me and lunged in and bit my leg, and jumped back out, and started to circle around me again, but its owner grabbed it by that point. It didn't really hurt, just kinda scary. I think it might've been a collie.

Is it an urban legend that your pet (dog or cat) will eat your body if you die alone in your home? How long does it take them to start eating you?

Seems a bit cruel to me. I mean, it's understandable, since the dog was aggressive. But what ever happened to humanely euthanizing them? Doesn't the owner taking them out back and shooting them say something to you about the owner, not the dog, or the breed? I mean, if they're willing to do that with their dog, chances are they weren't training it right. :/

Hi, this is my third question, and I have many more i may need to ask.
Anyway, the pet store that is close to me sell live rodents, and every time i feed my snake,Reggie, i stand right there in case something bad happens. I want to start feeding him pre-killed rodents, but i don't know how to put the poor little guys out of there misery. My snake was never eaten dead prey before, so any information would be helpful. If i can do this, i can put a whole lot into my freezer without having to go to the pet store, which is like 20 miles away and is a pain in the butt to get to. I live out in the little dusty town of Forgan Oklahoma, right in the middle of nowhere. Could i order some in bulk, or kill them myself,( I don't really want to do that unless i have to.) Any Ideas on how i should do this?

I have a cat I found on my job about 8 months ago. I paid for him to be neutered and declawed also for his shots he was a house cat. One day he became very sick. I took him to the vet rather than to see him die at home I wanted to get the help he needed. The Vet said he had renal failure and he needed anti biotics and a I.V. I thought he would be fine. He indeed came out to be okay but the bill was $630. I don't have that kind of money. I found the cat when hes was 6 weeks old. I nursed him to health and he had a heart condition according to the Vet. I explained to them I could not afford such a high vet bill. I asked if I could make payments, they said yes but I would have to pay $30 a day until I get him out. I don't know who to turn to for help. My 4 children miss the cat his name is Jazz. Please send me some info on how to get financial help with my cats bill so I can get him home.

Before I ever really met a shih-tzu I didn't particularly like them, just because I prefer large dogs to small dogs, and I didn't think they were very cute. But after I have met a lot of them from working in a vet clinic, I just Fell in love! I think they are such sweet goofy dogs. Someday when I get a house, and more room, I will adopt a shih-tzu. I'm just wondering, how do you feel about the breed?
