It seems cruel to me. The fish can't even swim around. They take them home from the pet store and keep them in the same small bowl. Pet owners should educate their customers.

I've done LOTS of research on this and have decided to no longer vaccinate my dogs every year once they've received all of their puppy vaccines and their one year booster. I was just wondering how many others have done the same?

My dog started carrying around this black rat squeak toy yesterday. She won't stop whining about it. She follows me everywhere and doesn't seem to want to do anything else. She only goes outside when I do and I have yet to see her eat. If I take the toy she just wants it back, if I squeak it it's the same thing. My mom and sister have been gone on a vacation for about a week now. I've also been gone for a week, I got back yesterday night. My dad has been here, but he's been working. I think maybe she's lonely? Or just wants to play? I have yet to get anywhere with her. Any advice?

I took my cat to the vet yesterday to get him booster shots to prevent a disease that house cats can get. A few hours later Jerry, my cat, wouldn't let my pick him up, kisshim or pet him. Then he started hiding from me! It really ade me very upset because Jerry is the type of cat whois really attached to one special owner and that would be me. He always rubs up against me, sleeps beside me avery night and now he hides away under my parents bed resting and sleeping. He doesn't want to come out to go to the bathroom, eat, or drink. He does let me kiss and pet him now from under the bed though. Is this normal? Is this just a way of addjusting to his booster shots ad how long will this last. My other cat angel lso got booster shots but she din't start acting this way! PLEASE! If you've had this experience before, or if your a vet, PLEASE answer this question! What can I do to help my poor cat!???? Thank you so much for taking the time to read this!

I have a mixed dog. She is good size. We recently noticed a dry patch on her back and when ever you rub or pat her there her hind leg goes wild., thumping the ground. Can I use dandruff shampoo? Or do you have another suggestion?

I just bought a male betta for my daughter. The people at PetSmart told me that I should only feed it one or two "grains" of the betta food every two or three days, since bettas have a problem with obesity. The food itself says to feed every day. My daughter is already horribly attached to her fish, and I would hate myself if something happened to it.

Can anyone with betta experience/knowledge give me a little insight? Thank you!

I have a five month old puppy who currently has medium length hair. She is supposedly a labrador/terrier mix, however according to our vet she has a lot of setter in her and I was recently told by someone who had a setter that her hair is very similar to that dog's hair. In any case, the brush we were using when she was much smaller and had much shorter hair is no longer working well enough. Any suggestions?

Hi... I have 3 cats and I use a big storage bin as my litter box. It messures 21"x15" and is 9" deep. The problem I have is when they jump out of the box, litter follows and goes all over the floor. I put a carpet in front of the box but the litter shows and looks terrible. Right now I just sweep the area 20 times a day. I cannot have one of those covered boxes as 2 of my cats are too big for them. Any suggestions?

THANKS!!

What kind of fish are good with female bettas? Are African Dwarf Frogs good tank mates for them?
My original plan was to have 4 female bettas and maybe an ADF or 2 in the tank. (It's a 10 gallon.)

My regular vet isn't open on Sunday. But yesterday my mother stepped on my dogs leg in the middle of the night by accident and this morning he was limping. He doesn't seem to be in any pain but he won't put his leg down at all. It's his hind leg and he's just using 3 when walking . Should I wait to take him to my regular vet or should i take him to someone who's open today.

1. I will be gone for 10 days and I have no idea what to do? Will leaving them alone without food be ok? I really hate the idea of doing that but if I have to I can.

3. A fish sitter would probably be the best thing to do, but i'm weary of someone coming into my house without taking anything. So whats the minimum time he/she can come in without my fish starving?

3. Are there any decent operating Automatic fish Feeders that aren't too expensive?

4. Would the 3 day feeders blocks be acceptable to use?

Thank you all in advance for your help =)

What does it mean when a breeder says...

"The beagle is an 11 inch"

"Or it will grow to be about a 12" dog."

"A true mini-____ is under 13 inches"

Where is this measurement being taken? End to end? Floor to back?

The adoption centers today often require adopters allow a home inspection and pass on everything a-z. Not to mention pre-adoption forms, normal adoption forms and even post adoption forms. I understand they want a good home for the dogs, but they offer nothing to help you make sure it will work. We want to adopt from a shelter that doesn't offer a in home period where the animals can live with you nor do they offer a backout or return period if it doesn't work out. Where will this crazy crap end? When they get a sample from you?

Is it wrong to have reptiles such as snakes, tortoises and lizards as pets? even if they are cared after properly????? I really want a tortoise but almost feel bad, I have researched them so much and know how to care for them properly, but i live in a one bed flat and feel its wrong to own one, the set up for the tortoise will be huge and it would have so much room to wonder and have fun, but i still feel quite cruel!!!!
can I have your opinions please?????
