did any reasearch before they bought their first dog. Learned about the breed, and what it was all about? Learned about responsible pet ownership, and what it entailed? Learned about nutrition, spaying and neutering, and training? Anyone learn anything at all about their dog at all before they got him?

I know they do for pregancies and mites... but my rabbits is maybe 5 to 6 months and lives in doors, is not around any other rabbits and today i came home to find a clump of her hair (yes female) in her cage. Can she have fleas? I do have a dog. I also have two rats. Is it also possible she suspects my male dog to be a male rabbit? she does play with him and circle him, could it be she thinks they are mates?

I have a rat that I got about a week and a half ago and I'm afraid she might be lonely when i'm gone so do you think it would be alright to get another?

She apparantly forgot her litter box training and was jumping up in my boys crib like she owned the world. Sadly we had to give her up to a shelter. Is this typical cat stuff? We really tried to make things work. we loved her.. but it really came down to a choice between a kid and a cat. Was I just a bad kitty dad?

I'm going to the vet soon...but what seems to be the problem with him?

Please help..thank you.

My 8 year old border collie has a "bit" of a dominance issue,
now it's no problem to us when he's just in the house with me and the rest of the family, but when i try to walk him, the second he sees an other dog he lunges and tried to attack them. i've tried various training methods but none of them have worked. I only just recently realized that he's had a dominance problem since I got him when he was 2, but he's never attacked an other dog until a few months ago. I think it might also have to do with his age, and the fact that he's going blind. and he is neutered, just so you all know.
so is this a lost cause ? or is there still a chance for my dog to go out for a walk without trying to kill an other dog ?

I heard that it is possible to give regular asprin to a dog. Is it true? I have a 6 pound chihuahua, so how small would I want to cut up the asprin, or could I just give him baby asprin?

My 5mo. old doxie was doing very good with house breaking, in fact she had gone about a month w/out an accident. But here recently she has begun urinating very frequently, roughly once every 30-45 minutes and having accidents w/out giving any indication that she needs out. Could there be a medical reason for this or is she just being obstinate?
Another thing I've noticed is she licks herself constantly and bites her stomach area until there are visible sores. This could be related or it might be a reaction to something in our grass.

Help?!

My dog, 6 1/2 year old german shepherd mix, has recently(past 6 months)started BITING!! The first person she bit was the cop that lives down my streets 3 year old son, well she actually tried to bite him but I pulled her back fast enough that she didn't make any contact. The next was my 3 year old cousin, and she actually bit her, but it didn't break the skin. And then was my 8 year old neighbor, and she didn't bite because I caught her and called her before she actually made contact.
We have talked about finding her a home with NO kids, but she has been with us for so long that we couldn't do that to her. Even though she is the greatest thing I have right now, I cant risk actually hurting a family or a neighborhood child. And I have mentioned a muzzle and the prong collar to my family, but they considered it animal cruelty and yelled at me. She is an inside dog, we got her from the pound, the people before us abused her with sticks and hit her. And I really don't want her to go back.

I posted this question last month, but I would like a few more answers.

My neighbor's dog always licks itself when it sees me. Some people said I am making the dog nervous. I've never harassed the dog and normally just walk by the gate and say hello. I can see it sniff for a few seconds and then it immediately goes into this crouching position and start licking itself. Once I walk away, the dog will sit back up and wait for me. And when I come back...it starts licking again! The dog is a pitbull (about 3 years old).

I understand that dogs hump but would a male dog actually be able to "stick it in" if the female was spayed?

i adopted my dog last year, hes a 7yr old am staff who's neutered. he has been totallly fine until the end of september when he started to try and eat through the front door of my apartment. this has progressively gotten worse to the point of him chewing my ipod, backpack, snowboarding jacket, purses, etc. when he is left alone he is in a ex-pen he pushes over, the radio is left on, his breakfast is put in a buster cube as well as he has fresh water and a kong full of peanut butter. i'm assuming this is stemming from the turbulent year we've had but i dont know what to do with him now. i am not considering giving him away cause that will only make things worse.
after i got him we moved and he used to come to work with me, which he hated so i started leaving him at home with the cat and he was fine. then we moved again due to some bad luck, where he and another dog killed my cat. since that wass only a temp living arangement we have moved once more and he;s by himself... HELP!!!

Four of them can be in the same crate - the rest must be separated. What is the best/cheapest way to house them? They will travel up to 10 hours one day and 8 hours the second.

well I have only a few fry remaining, 4 to be exact. They have passed the 2 week mark and are doing great with my infursia(sp?) culture. Everything is developing normally and they have a healthy appetite, but what do I feed them after the infursia?

Will they take specially made baby betta food at this age or should I wait until they hit the 3 or 4 week mark?
