Or do you just think they put up with us because they love us? Doggy kissing is acceptable, but people kisses? EWWW! What do you think dogs think?

My male cat (almost a year old) has what my husband and I have come to call toxic poo. He goes to the bathroom in his litter box and we can smell it across the house. He eats Purina Kitten Chow and drinks plenty of water. Is it what he is eating? Or is it just him?

I have a dog when she goes in heat she shows signs of being pregnant. This time she is showing more signs...she is being more loving, she is being more teritorial, she has big nipples and they have been leaking, and has gained a few pounds. Do you think she is pregnant? How can I figure out if she is or not? I don't want any "well...you should take her to the vet answers" Please help!

The goldfish are too big (10 plus inches) and smelly to keep in my basement like I did last winter. I have about 10 large and 30 (3-5inch) fish. I live in a climate where the winter can be as cold as -40 degrees. I have a stock tank heater and aerator, and could possibly put in a fountain type pump for circulation. Will this keep the fish alive over the winter? Or am I doomed to kill all these gorgeous fish if I do this? The garage isn't heated and has little insulation. Do I need to cover the trough? Do they need light over the winter? Any help would be great! Thank you!

The ball python is a male, 4 years old, approx. 4 feet long.
Good temperment when handled even around large groups, a little timid, wasn't handled too much in its earlier years prior to being owned by myself.

The albino burmese python is a male, 3.5 months old, 2.5 feet long.
Very friendly, has only nipped me twice. Never shown aggressive behaviour since the event.

I just bought 3 true perculas. They are all pure yellow with not fully developed stripes and the black lining has barely came in. Theyre pretty young maybe a couple of months. Will the color get better? Will the black get more rich and how long would it take? One of them is really stressed what should i do?

As if the week couldn't get any worse. I was teaching my dog how to shake and he got hold of the bag that the small treats come in. The bag was probably about 3in x 3in and had a small piece of paper inside of it. He didn't cough or gag or anything, it was like one swift motion he inhaled it. He is a 13 week puppy, Weimaraner to be exact and is about 2 feet long and a foot high. What should i do, wait for it to pass, play it out to see if he starts to show signs, go to the vet right away?

I am getting either a ball python or a corn snake sunday. What all things do i need for his cage? Please be specific in lighting.... Do i need to have an under tank heating pad? I have heard that they are useless in larger tanks (im getting him/her a 40 gallon tank)

Once again... what kind of lighting does he need? I was planning on getting 3 lights, 2 days on the left and right, and the middle would be a black or red night bulb... sound good?

Hello, I am a new owner of 2 bearded dragons( 1 male, 1 female). They came into my care when a friend of mine was evicted last week. I know they are no where near the health of a normal bearded dragon. I feed them crickets every other day, and salads every day with Romaine lettuce, yellow squash, and carrots. Their substarte is ground english walnut shells. Their cage is about 2 feet long, and they have a little cardboard hide box, and a big branch thing. They have a 100 Watt heat bulb for lighting.

Here are my questions:

1) I believe these dragons are over a year old, but are still very small, about 9 inches each. Can they still grow?? How can I help them do this?

2) The female has what looks like bags under her eyes that look veiny - is that normal?

3) How can I get them to eat their veggies?? They seem to mope until it's cricket time.

4) How many crickets is a good number to feed them? Should I be feeding them crickets every day?

5) Is it true one could stop brumation? Is it a safe idea to do so?

6) How often should I change their substrate? What is the best substrate to use for them?

7) What are some products I can use to promote better health?

Thank you to anyone who can help answer these questions!!

A lady who was obviously unfit to take care of a litter of puppies (they were dirty and neglected) gave me a couple 3 week old pups. They are a german shepherd/golden retriever mix.

Isn't that way too early for them to be separated from their mom?? She already had them in a separate room because she said the mom was annoyed by them, so I didn't feel guilty taking 3 of them to my house where they would be taken care of better.

They cry ALL THE TIME! I know puppies probably cry a lot but if they're not sleeping they cry until I come and hold them.. I feed them twice a day and they always have water so I can't think of any reason why other than they miss their mom?

They were so dirty that I gave them a bath, and one of them was shaking a lot, even after she was dry. It wasn't because they were too young to bathe was it?

Will they have a hard time being separated when its time for them to go to new homes? When do you think is the right time to separate them?

I have a Mastiff and Rott. I am moving into a new house were the drain for the A/C comes out a rubber hose into the yard. If I remove the hose or burry it my warranty will be void. My dogs will chew it up in about 10 seconds. Any suggestions on how to protect it from the dogs. I also forgot to mention the no chew sprays do not work on my dogs, even tried habenro sauce and it did not phase them.

I have a 4 year old basset hound who is a total character typically running and barking and just full of energy, but yesterday it all stopped. He is very lethargic, and has great difficulty in climbing even the 3 steps from the yard to back door. I have to pick him up. It looks like its painful but he does not cry. I took him for a walk last night and he seemed fine. Bowel and bladder are working..phew! Interacting with the environment but he is just off. He is hardly eating too which is just not like him. Should I do..give it another day or off to the vet now?
