I'm pretty sure he's just playing around, but sometimes it gets painful and he won't stop biting on my fingers and clawing at my arms. How can I tell when he's just being playful?

I read that it could be conjunctivitis or keratoconjuntivitis. Has anyone else ever had this problem? If so, is there an easy way to get rid of it?

...puppymills or private breeders? In the pet store they said the dogs come from private breeders and not puppy mills, but I dont know if I should believe them.

My corn snake is having a really hard time shedding. This is his first time shedding science I had him so I don't know if this is normal for him. I all ready misted down his cage so it would be more humid and put him in a water dish with luke warm water nothing seems to work. Any other suggestions?

I have a Black Labrador. I know they are water dogs. I would love for her to swim and play in the water. The problem is that dogs are not allowed in the beach. (I live by Santa Monica City and the City of Venice) And I think it would be nice if I could take her somewhere not to far from home. I just don’t know anywhere around here. if anyone has a place that would be great.

I have a 10 mth old fully bred pedigree boxer and I was wondering how old does a dog have to be to stud are there any guidelines to follow from kennel clubs etc, or is it a case of the older the dog the better the stud it makes ?

I was considering switching from Repti-Bark to this Calci-Sand:

http://www.amazon.com/T-Rex-White-Bone-Aid-Calci-Sand/dp/B0002DK6Y0

I quite like Repti-Bark, but I am a little worried about my California Kingsnake swallowing a bit when eating. I don't agree with feeding him in a separate cage. So I'd like a substrate that works well and is harmless if swallowed.

If anyone has any experience with this stuff, please let me know what you think of it.

I have adopted a few weeks ago and have never had a ***** before only dogs. Can anyone tell me at what age do they stop having seasons, or do they have them all their lives? The reason I ask is that Poppy is a rescue dog and we are not sure how old she is, only that she is roughly 8 or 9 years. Is it worth getting her spayed or are her seasons numbered?

Sometimes, mostly at night, our cat does this weair thing where her back gets fluffy and she starts jumping towards us sideways! Its hard to describe.... her eyes get really big and she stares at us while doing it! She looks like a demon cat when she does it! Its a bit freaky but funny all the same.

Does anyone elses cat do this??

Someone DUMBLY let my dog eat some cherries with the pits. Should I take my dog to the vet (I'd like to avoid that if possible.) I also read something about inducing vomit. But I'm not too sure.

Can a dog-expert of some sort help me out?

My pet oscar that I got from the pet store about a week ago just sits in the corner of my 10 gallon tank. He's like 2 inches. I had him in my bigger tank with my 2 sucker-fish and 2 larger oscars and he swam usually following the oscars but the next day when I woke up he was all beat up so I put him in my 10 gallon by himself but now he just sits in the corner. I've seen him eat only 2 little pellets of food since I got him. Is he sitting in the corner because he's beat up, or because he's lonely? When I had him in my bigger tank with my oscars he was always swimming with them. Also how long will it take for his body to heal.

I've reserved a Doberman puppy who is about six weeks old, and I will be picking him up from the breeders in a couple of weeks. I've never owned a puppy before, and am doing all of the research (reading training books, talking to dog owners...). I am planning to enroll my pup in puppy obedience school at the end of the summer after he and I have spent some time together (and he is about 4 months old). During my research, I've definitely come to understand that puppies are BALLS OF ENERGY! I am very willing to accommodate this, but I also understand that there is a difference between an excited puppy (who loves to play) and an overly hyper, frantic puppy (who cannot control himself wherever he is). If he is a "crazy" pup and I don't know how to control it, I'm afraid he'll make our summer very difficult. I'll take him everyday to the park to run and exercise, but is there anything else I can do to help him develop into a semi-obedient (and controllable) pup who listens to me?

Has anyone ever vaccinated their dog at home with the rabies vaccine? I've seen it for sale from the manufacturer.. however, they wont ship to some US states, and there are some states that they can ship to but the "state won't recognize it as a vaccine" and then there are a few states that it's fine for.
Also, I would like to know what some people's experience has been with vaccinating altogether at home. Have you actually saved much money? (please list sites where you purchase them, also) thank you!

I'll admit that this is more of a comment than a question, but I feel it has to be said.
FYI, not everyone who makes a conscious decision to breed their dog is a horrible, horrible person. I know this is a controversial topic, but it just seems like there are some people here who think they're experts on the pet population issue. Well, a lot of the people who breed their dogs DO have reasons other than making money. A lot of them HAVE run the proper tests and done the proper research about whelping, and have lined up prospective buyers BEFORE the breeding is even done. Some of them breed dogs for the joy of it, and only consider healthy, happy dogs for breeding. I'm not saying backyard breeders can't be really bad for dog breeds, but not everyone just goes about willy nilly hooking up chihuahuas with Great Danes.

Now have at me, breeder haters.
