Hi,
Like I said earlier, I am taking care of my neighbor's two cats while they are on vacation, which includes cleaning the litter box. It really smells awful. It didn't smell this bad when they left, but now it's disgusting. Please help!!

Can anyone identify these freshwater snails? They were found in the South Fork River in western North Carolina, at a quiet spot in the river. They were entirely black with no markings (see photo linked below), and about a quarter inch to an inch long. I'd love a species name and maybe some info about them. Thanks!

Im afriad of killing the fish like i have a million times before. Is there a way to clean the tank without taking out the fish if the tank has a filter and there is no gravel.???

My boyfriend has a sweet and energetic Staffordshire Bull Terrier. He's only a medium-sized dog, but he's too strong for me to walk or play with.

I'd like to have my own dog, preferably very small. It would need to get along well with the Staffie and keep him company. I really like Maltichons (tiny Maltese-Bichon cross-breed), but I am open to ideas. Which breed do you recommend and why?

Please respect the community guidelines as you answer. Thanks!

I am feeding my mum's cats while she is on holiday, and one of them is looking really thin. I am not sure if I should take her to the vets or not. She is only a year old. Any advice please?

My 13 week old male black lab starts biting when he is excited and wants to play. I tell him no bite and hold his mouth shut gently for a few seconds. This doesn't seem to work and I obviously don't want to be too physical with him.

Any other suggestions? Is ignoring him enough to make him stop? He has already ruined one of my shirts by jumping and biting it.

Hi,
I am taking care of my neighbor's two cats while they are on vacation. One of them always meows and comes towards me, but know do I know if she is friendly or not? She sounds nice, but I have had a bad experience with a cat once and just want to know what people think. Thanks

I put 2 angelfish and one yellow gourami in my 55 gallon tank yesterday, which i started on saturday. One of the angels died, after swimming upside down, lying on the bottom, swimming vertically, not moving, and being stuck to the filter. what was wrong with it? the other 2 fish seem fine

We adopted a 9-month-old puppy that is not crate trained and seems petrified of the crate. He freaks out just going near it and will scream until he makes himself sick while inside his crate. He isn't completely house trained either. He does well most of the time but he has several accidents throughout the day. We know that crate training helps greatly with housetraining (as well as consistently taking him outside) but we are not sure exactly how to get him comfortable in his crate.
So, I would love some advice as to how to crate train an older puppy (who is used to being free in a house) that is stubborn and scared of his crate. If you could give me some sources where you found your information that is even better.
Thanks in advance.
:D

I feel bad for my dog..... well I guess it's my boyfriends dog...We have different views on animals. Well he keeps our dog outside 24-7 she has never been inside and I feel so bad sometimes because it gets very hot in Alabama. Is this good bad or normal? What should I do?

OK so about a month ago a got an 8 week old kitten. The lady I got it from said she was box trained and I brought her home. Well I also have a 7 month old male cat and he uses his litter box perfectly fine. because I had to work I didnt want to leave the kitten alone with my older cat so I confined my kitten to my bedroom with a small litter box to use untill we were sure the two would get along and they could use the same. Well when Id get home id let her out and my older cat would want to use her litter box. she would still use it so she obviously had no problem using them same litter box another cat used. Well we just moved and now we have a huge litter box with a roof big enough for mulitply cats to use. It is alwasy kept clean. Our older cat will use it but my kitten wont she will pee and poop all around it and no where else. Its not like she doesn tlike wehre its at. Iv tryed evrything. Shes 12 weeks old now. I got to break her from this habit before she gets bigger.....

I take her up north and she's a sweet girl but doesn't come every time she is called. How can I get her to come off leash every time? All the other dogs up there remain off leash and I can't wait for that too.
