A while ago I bought a litter that completely dried everything out. It was amazing! Unfortunately, I threw the box away thinking I would remember, but I don't! I probably bought it at Petsmart or Petco, does anyone have any reccomendations?

What are you opinions? I have a yorkie and she is about five pounds (maybe six) and we were using advantage until we kept spotting live fleas on her. I thought it was supposed to prevent fleas, so we are considering other brands. What are you opinions on Frontline Plus and K9 Advantix?

Ok well I already asked about potty training my puppy and I got some really good answers. I meant to also ask though when I take her out side should I have her on her harness and leash or just let her go free but keep an eye on her. We also have an outside dog and every time I take her outside to try and potty train her she gets distracted and wants to play with my other dog. Also about meal times for my puppy. Since we got her she has a little bit of dog food in her bowl 24-7 so she can eat when she wants to. I've heard that is bad and ur only supposed to feed them twice a day and take up the food in 15 minutes if they don't eat it. Well I tries that and well it confused her. She didn't understand when to eat and wouldn't eat when I gave it to her. She also constantly gets into the cat food. I scold her for that because I know its bad for her. How can I keep her away? And also I'm supposed to take her out after meal times to potty train her but she doesnt have meal times! SOMEONE HELP

My female cat went missing for about 2 days,when she finally returned home we found her under the porch, not wanting to move too much,she has a small mark on the top of her head, a semi deep scratch on her neck, and a cut on her chest area, inch or so below her neck that had bled pretty bad. I cleaned it up as best i could, but the closer to the cut i got the more she fought to pull away. She had a slight limp wich has gotten better an seems to had lost a lil weight. Also her left eye seems to be acting up, not wanting to close all the way. I am very concerned but my mom and dad seem to think she just mated. Should i be concerned about her? She is improving daily and gaining weight back already, should i watch for signs pregnancy or do you think she just got beat up by a neighbors cat?

I will be breeding my 2 dogs in a year or so. Right now, my female is too young so I want to wait. She has not had her first heat but we have been expecting it for some time now. She is almost or about a year old. She hasnt started bleeding BUT my male is constantly trying to hump her and the red part is coming out of him. She mostly wont let him but I have been watching them very closley this morning and it looks like he got it in for a sec. She HAS NOT started bleeding yet BUT, I heard that the male dog will know she is in heat BEFORE we will. I heard the female lets of signals before the bleeding. Is this true? is it time to seperate? they are now (as I type) but they are best friends so I dont want to seperate them unless I have too.

I have a Fluval 404 canister filter on my 55 gallon aquarium that I use for mechanical and chemical filtration.

I would like to add a chiller to the system. Is it possible to inline the chiller with the filter so I don't have yet another thing hanging on the back of my tank. Or is it better to have a dedicated pump for the chiller.

Converting to a sump is out of the question at the moment.

Ok i have had my fish for 3 days now. I got him from petco and everything that i use has been from there. He was doing fine when i first got him and the day after that. it's just him in the tank right now. i didn't QT him or anything. before i put in him though i did let him swim around in a bowl with the water i was using.

my Parameters are

pH 8.3
Salinity is 1.021
nitrate is 0.5
alkalinity is normal between 2.0 and 2.2
The temp stays between 79 and 80 degrees

Everything is normal and im looking at him and he seems like he's shedding and one of his fins have a white tip on them. im not sure if it's the water or if he's stressed. He eats normally and swims around alot. he stays in one place when i look at him or he goes and hides. it's just odd because when i got him he looked healthy and now he looks kinda sick. when the white stuff comes off of his body it looks like he did shed. whats all this mean?

i would really like some help in determining whats wrong with him

Is discus a really difficult fish to keep. I heard from many owners, that their maintenence is exaggerated . I have seen people keeping them without checking ph, testing water. There is a person who has 2 of the heckel's discus in green waters,high ammonia value < 60gallons at variable temperatures, being fed with dirty blackworms, along with angels, plecos, danios, I asked him, how his angels survive that conditions? He says the tank bred angels are tough can survive anything except bullies. Surprisingly he has them for over a year.

We just got new dog. When our resident five month puppy met his new sister he was soooo happy. They were very excited. They played and licked each other and humped each other all night.

She was with our other dog for about 14 hrs before we found out that she has pnuemonia. (coughing, wheezing, loss of appetite, lethargy) They were very attached, so we took him along for the ride when we left her in the hospital. Yesterday he threw up in the car coming home alone. It is two days from the day of contact and he is looking a little peaky. And he is not as playful as usual-

He ate dinner last night and breakfast this morning. Could he be sick or just missing his new sister?

A few months ago, one of our cats got run over, so we decided to bring our other cat inside and make him an indoor cat. Then we took in a stray to give him a home and to give the other cat a new buddy.
Now the new cat is driving us nuts. We love him to death, but he's very needy and whiny. Some night he'll actually jump on the bed and sleep with us, but usually, he just paces around the bed meowing up at us incessantly. If we shut him out of the room, he scratches at the door and meows like crazy. He wakes us up several times a night doing this.
My husband has been putting him outside at night when he starts this, and then he'll let him back in the next morning. But I have trouble sleeping then because we've already had one cat get run over. I don't want him to get hurt, too. I prefer him inside, where I know he's safe. But he's driving us crazy!

What can we do? Anything??
