Pets - 9 October 2007

Vets report more disease and much greater level of dental decay in pets over the last 20 years.

This coincides with the introduction of the widespread use of commercial dry and canned food.

I understand some toxic metals eg lead are found in pet food.

I got Maggie almost 11 years ago;she was three weeks old and abandoned at my brother's business by a girl who said she was a pit bull/ Rott/GSD.My vet and I have decided that she is most likely a St.Bernard/Boxer/Border Collie,with maybe a bit of Corgi ( who knows?) She's about 22 inches tall and weighs 74 lbs.Her hair is normally thicker and longer,but her summer haircut hasn't grown all the way out yet.She used to have a black mask,but it has turned white as she has aged.So,what do you think she is?

I have a 3 year old tabby cat. I adopted it from PetSmart last year and was wondering if it needs a rabies shot. My house is clean and everything nice looking and safe for my cat. She doesn't go outside and only stays in the house? Does she need a shot? And how do cats get rabies?

Hello! I am just starting out in keeping salt water fish. I have a 60 gallon tank and I bought a Canister filter that works for up to 100 gallons and I also bought a power filter that's good for up to 75 gallons. Will having these two filters lessen my maintenance? The box my filters came in said that I would have to change filter pads, carbon bags, foam etc. like once a month. If I have these two filters working together can I change them every 2 months instead?

Just a quick question. One of my dogs is an irish setter (purebred, retired show dog.) I'm always amazed at the number of people that don't recognize the breed. They are not a popular breed anymore (yay!) Does anyone else here have one, or have you had one? When was the last time you saw an I.S.? Would you recognize one if you saw it?

When my cat Homer is bathing himself with his tongue, if he is sitting next to me, he often tries to include me in the ritual.

He is sitting next to me as I type, grooming himself, and he suddenly started to lick MY ear.

Does your cat do this?

My cats seem to bother one plant in my house. They don't chew the leaves. They just play in the dirt. I come home every day and clean up dirt from this plant. I am getting very tired of it. Have used the "greens" for them, and that didn't stop them. I hear the other day that human hair may work, but I thought that was just for keeping deer out of gardens. I need help because this is making me crazy on a daily basis.

Something for 2 dojo loaches in a 30 gallon tank. Gravel that is small and not sharp is difficult to find (will those generic colored gravel work?)

I am leaning towards gemstones - something like this

is this okay? is there anything else that will work?
