I've offered them flakes, pellets, frozen brine shrimp, and orange slices, but they aren't eating any of it. They just ignore everything. I don't want them to starve, what's going on?

I have some questions for all the people who recommend this site.

I do not understand how it is a good site.

Who has rated these dog foods and what qualifications do they have to do so? Animal Nutritionist? Vet? Who?

I really don't understand how they can have a site like that with no references. Who are these editors and why are they knowledgeable enough about dog food to rate it?

Not trying to stir up trouble- just want to understand.

My boxer is 2 years old now. Ive had him since he was probably 8 weeks old. (pet store not a breeder) He's ALWAYS been shy/nervous exspeshally with MEN, and loud noises.
Ive tryed everything. I walk him all the time in busy areas, took him to dog parks (which he LOVED), if he would get nervous and try and run cause a motorbike went by for example i would correct his behavour make him sit and stay there till he calmed down.
Ive bought a boxer magazine and they said that this is known to happen to this breed when not socialzed enough as a puppy. The thing is he's been like this since i had him. ALWAYS nervous with men.
So what can i do now? It's annoying and i would love for anyone just to be able to pat my dog. My concern is that he's going to try and defend himself one day when ppl dont listen to me when i say he's nervous.
I was told a PERSONAL one on one trainer would help but they should specialize in my breed. Where boxers have different behavours in general.

I have a 9 month old 6 pound yorkie. I've moved home with my parents for a few months while my husband finishes his tour in Germany. They have a huge German Shepard next door that has fleas bad!! Now my little dog has fleas and has brought them in the house. We have professionally sprayed our yard and the neighbor's yard and our house from top to bottom - repeatedly! My dog is on Frontline Plus and I have the Frontline spray to put on him. We are dusting the carpets everyday and washing the bedding like mad! I have a flea comb and are still pulling them off of my dog, probably 6-8 at a time.

I just bought some Paramite from my vet but havent used it yet. I am kinda afraid, the vet made it sound awful for the dog. Have any of you used it?

What else can i do?? My vet told me not to give my dog garlic powder. My vet where we used to live had these pills that worked like a charm, but this vet does not.

How do I get these little monsters out of my house!!!?!?!?!

My 7 wk. old pupper is a little demon, but mostly because I'm not used to puppy play biting. I've tryed a few different methods to get him to stop "nipping" but I need to know the proper way to do it, because he knows how to bite, hard. Any websites or references would be great.. : ) thankz

So we noticed it last night that he was walking slow and it took him a while to go down the front steps. And also that if he tries to jump up on his hind legs he cries or wimpers, what's the matter with him, any one know?

My new kitten got stuck in a sticky type mouse trap. We freed her with peanut butter & baby oil. I shampooed her with a kitty shampoo but a day later her fur is still very oily. I thought of trying baby powder but am not sure how dangerous that would be if she were to lick it. I am planning on calling the vet tomorrow but thought maybe I could get some help here????

Has anyone ever had any problems with Purscriptions Plus Squeeze on Flea & Tick drops by Sentry? I put it on my cat and he broke out in a bad rash on the back of his neck, I had to bath him, and you know how cats hate water. Frontline seemed to work before but it is too expensive. Anyone know of other brands that work well that will not make him break out, and where can I get them?

Well, we bought one month supplies of Frontline at the vet for all the animals in the house, 5 dogs (2 outside 3 inside), 2 cats and 1 kitten and 1 ferret (we used kitten frontline for the kitten and ferret) So anyway, the Frontline almost killed my kitten, we had to rinse it all off for like 10 minutes and then we took him to the vet, he's fine now, but the other animals still have fleas. So the Frontline is crap. It's just a waste of our money. (In case you are wondering how we got one month supplies, our vet carries Frontline and he sells one capsule at a time so people can see if it works for their pets, if so, then you can go back to his office and buy a new whole box) (and also if you are wondering if we gave the kitten the wrong type, we read on the packaging "For Cats, 0-5 lbs.", our other cats got "For Cats, 5-10 lbs.") The kitten is 12 weeks. So has Frontline ever worked for you or so you have a story like mine? Which other brand HAS worked for you?

Ive had my fish tank for many years and never had a problem now its gone cloudy. It was a green and cloudy to start with so i covered the tank from the sun and the green colour has gone but the water is still cloudy. Ive never had any problems before and ive not changed anything in the tank. Ive done water changes and cleaned the filter but the water goes cloudy again.

I have a pet rabbit living in a cage in our back yard. Every so often a family of opossums comes by to eat fruit from our fig tree. But, I am afraid that they may turn their attentions from our fig tree to our pet rabbit. These opossums can easily tear thru the cage if they wanted to. Any suggestions what to do?

I think buying a dog for my dad would help him through depression. My dad is 68 years old and he does not get out of the house much. He is very unfit and I want a dog that will be a loyal companion, clean and with a bit of luck lift his spirits.
Hopefully there is a dog breed out there that fits the bill.
Please help me, help my dad, by suggesting a suitable dog breed.

Can anyone tell me whats going on please?

My female adult cat and her 2 14 week old kittens got out last night for about 20 min. When I rounded them back in the adult cat was growling and hissing at her two kittens. Two hours before she was still allowing them to nurse off of her. She even went after one to attack them. The kittes were shaking and are terrifed. The mamma is fine with me still but the kittens she wants to kill. I cant even put them in the same room. What caused this strange behavior, and how should I handle it?
