Our labrador is going on 16 this August. She has had a pretty bad hip for a few months now but has never complained. Recently she hasn't been able to get up much and has trouble making it up and down the one stair to go to the bathroom. Sometimes she poops in her sleep without even moving. We've made an appointment to have her put down tomorrow, but I'm having a hard time bring myself to take her. Support is welcome

I want to plant creeping fig plants around my dog run, but I will be bringing home a new puppy soon and I'm anticipating she will destroy some. They will be on the opposite side of the fence, but puppies work magic. Just want to make sure they won't make her sick

Hi, i have a 3 month old siberian husky. i noticed that she has been smelling pretty bad. i have gotten her about a month ago and this is the 2nd time i will be washing her. i noticed when the first time i washed her she still smelled so im guessing i didnt do a good job and she was screaming, whining and running away when i was trying to apply soap to her. my question is how do u wash a dog

It's been two months and now snails are poping up all over. Is it bad to have so many? Will they hurt the enviroment of the tank?

I understand that people like mixes but prices for some dogs are getting outrageous. For the people who like small dogs the situation is even worse because they are difficult to get from shelters (I tried for months). Do you think it's caused because large breeds tend to have more heat accidents or because large dogs might be difficult to fit in cities lifestyles. Here are the pictures of my dog, I was told he was a purebred maltese but I think he has at least a bit of Pom, what do you think?
And please don't get mad at me, I love pom mixes and couldn't find the right one in the shelters near me, and if you think I was ripped off with my dog, his price was almost the same or even less that some of the "designers breeds", what a world!!!

I’m thinking about one day owning and caring for a Goffin Cockatoo I am absolutely smitten with these cockatoos. However this would most likely be my first pet bird ever. Some internet sites say that they are noisy little monsters and destructive a good proportion of the time. I would love! love to eventually have one of these gorgeous birds that could well live up to 40-60 years and over. Now that’s over I have a couple of questions.

I was wondering how EXACTLEY, no sugar coating, demanding these lovely creatures are and if it’s the right sort of bird for a first timer, from a scale from 1-10.

Also how big should a cage be for a bird that most of the time that will be kept in its cage with plenty of toys to chew on and things to do so it won’t self mutilate/ feather pluck and kind of cage brand would be recommended. (I know lengthwise is more important than height wise)

What’s the best brand of food to feed these beauties?

Ok I did it! I so far (knocking on wood) successfully converted my fresh water talk to salt. It's been almost a month. Right now I have two damsels doing their job and keeping me well entertained while the tank is still cycling. My question is how do I know when it's done? Everything went crazy a couple weeks ago and now my nitrite levels are going back down, the salt looks normal, i'm getting some alge growing, and the tank is pretty (somewhat for salt water). I have a live rock, and used some live crushed coral, and some other live stuff in a tube (can't remember what it's called). So what happens when it's done? There isn't a dinger or anything on my tank and I haven't thought to ask anyone until now how do you know it's ready for fish.

I think my goldfish is afraid of the light on his new tank. His old tank didn't have a light and now any time I turn the light on, he goes and hides behind a plant. Is it possible for a fish to be afraid of the lights? He isn't afraid of the filter...

around the first of July my female Betta Flame got Popeye. I took her out and gave her all the treatment I could but she passed way. It wasnt time to clean the tank out yet and I still havent.

But now my fish, Creamella won't eat and doesnt bother with the other fish. She's very fat, but she's been for quite a while and it's natural that she doesn't bother with the other fish but I'm worried that it's because I havent cleaned the tank yet. She's showing no signs of Popeye but I'm still worried.

This is my second post but I forgot to put up the part about Popeye.

I just got him a week ago, he is 1 year old beautiful He hides and sneaks around us. No toy or snack will get him out or close to us. I got him from the rescue leage. They said he was shy, I think he was abused. Any suggestions to get him to like me and trust me. He does play with my 7 year old cat. No problem there. I would like to get him to be my lap cat and I can't even get him near me. Help?
