What are some flavor additives for dog food? My puppy/dog will not eat his own food unless it has human food aroma in it. It makes it difficult to feed him because he will not eat on his own unless we feed it to him one by one.

Okay right now my puppy is currently feeding off dog can food and shes about 11 weeks. We are switiching the can food to dry food. Do we just switich or mix in the dry food with the can food and then later on switich totally to dry food?

Would it be safe to just take a branch from any tree outside and put screws into them and make your own natural perches? I went to petsmart and was going to purchase each natural perch for about 8 dollars each adn my brother in law was with me. He works with a lot of wood adn said that I could just make them myself with screws and branches off a tree. But, I am worried about bugs and little mites and stuff. Would it be safe to do what he said by just using regular branchs or should i just buy the ones from the pet store?

I have a yellow lab and most of the time she's pretty good about fetching and/or retrieving. But sometimes I'll throw the ball or whatever and she'll just sit there like she has no idea what is going on. How do I teach her that this is a command like sit or stay and that when the ball is thrown she should go and get it?

Most info I've found is on teaching your dog how not to pull you.

My problems is that after my 12 wk old puppy goes potty or poop she just wants to stop and won't move anymore. She likes to pick up pieces of grass or rocks. She poops in some high brush most of the time and she likes to just go thru there and bite the weeds and lay down in there. I've tried taking her for walks and she just won't cooperate. I've only had her for three and a half weeks and she's learning other things fairly quickly.

Thanks for any help!

I am looking for a dog, any breed in any of the following groups: Sporting, Hound, Working, Terrier, Toy, Non-Sporting, Herding, Misc Class, that best fits the following classifications;

-Alert watchdog or guard dog; protective (tell me how does it react to a strange; does it threatens, or just bark?)
-Reliable companion for both owner and family (why? what traits confirm this?)

I'm more in favor of large dogs similar to wolves, such as the Alaskan Malamute, and the other small toy dogs like the Pomeranian. Although these may or may not fit the catergories above, I think the American Eskimo is best? Confirm that please.

Should I get another cat to keep her company? When I'm home I always pet her, and sometimes try to play with her but 90 percent of the time she doesnt like to. If I throw a tinfoil ball she usually chases it, then immediately stops and lays down. She is no fun and doesnt even like to hunt.

My turtle is Red Eared Slider
Size: around 2 / 2.5 inches
Age: 7-9 months old
Color: Dark green
Lives in: a nice tank with plenty of room to swim and sun tan. I have an air filter.
Food: dried shrimps and dry veggy turtle food

For the past few days my turtle has been making squeeky noises. It usually makes these noises when it is sleeping with its head out of the water. I thought it might be because the water is cold but i live in a summer place where the weather never gets cold. However, I still put a towel around his tank and added some warm water. It is eating but it use to eat much more before. Im not sure why he is squeeking!

Is it because i might have over fed him? is he cold? or what! i feed him 5-6 pieces of turtle food everyday!

Please give NORMAL answers. No need for stupid ones.

I was just called by christina's court (court tv) and informed that I'm being sued. The short end of a long story is this...
1. I was lead to believe unaltered dogs who don't have puppies will get breast cancer
2. I called several breeders and found someone willing to provide stud service
3. she told me she used horse de-wormer on her dogs and I had extra since I now de-worm my horses naturally
4. I'd never heard of horse de-wormer used on dogs and wasn't sure how she could determine the dosage, but I gave her what I had left and thought nothing more of it since she'd used it before.
5. She killed one of her dogs and made two others, a male and a pregnant female, sick with the de-wormer and got $3000 in vet bills
6. My dog had four puppies and she was allowed to chose pick of the litter
7. I realized she's a chain smoking, hobby breeder with a completely obese family and no sence of taking care of children let alone dogs and I freaked out about giving her a puppy
