My cat has a problem with plaque what dry cat foods have worked out best for you or what have you done to win the battle of plaque. I give dry cat food like my vet says and also the dental kitty treats, I had tried brushing but that was a battle and a half anyone with a fiesty cat can tell you that.

My fiance's dog, a huskie, has ran away. I have gone out calling his name, posted fliers, and canvased the neighborhood.

The poor boy has been missing 24 hrs as of this morning (10/26).
I am at a loss as to what else to try.
He is chipped, and has tags with both my phone number and my fiance's number on them.

My fiance is in the army and just got stationed over seas. This dog is his baby.


Please help!!!!!

So many people want designer dogs with "low shedding" (yes I know you can't predict in a crossbreed), yet refuse to buy poodles because they "don't like them".

Why? What's so wrong with them?

Is because of the image of them that was portrayed in old cartoons? Does that image still prevail in so many people's minds?

No thumbs down or flaming, honest answers however they come are fine by me. I'm interested to know WHY so many people dislike the breeds so much.

(for the record - I don't own a poodle. I'm not being defensive about my dog)

okay so, my cat, who is an outdoor cat had moved her new born kittens a while ago and because she is an outdoor cat, i couldn't figure out where she put her kittens. only today i found out that she ate them. a neighbour of mine told me that he saw her eat her kittens and when he tried to take it out of her mouth, she ran away. Do mother cats normally eat their kittens? even after theyre 18 days old? aren't they meant to eat them (if they do) when theyre born?
i feel so angry with her. i was disgusted that she would do such a thing.

I have two cats: Napoleon Bonaparte (male) and Josephine (female). They are from two separate litters and are both approx. 2 years old, Napoleon being just a couple months older than her.

I have noticed that if he is ever separated from both her and me, he cries loudly and begs for company. He gets very lonely. Also, I have noticed some other strange things. Sometimes when he and she is together, he chases her and holds her down and bights her ear very hard, like he's trying to torture her. She struggles and he just thinks she's playing.

There are other indications too. Napoleon has done more damage to little things than she's ever done, such as tearing stuff up. Josephine is a very calm cat and seems very normal, and is less of a hassle to deal with.

Should I be concerned here? Is it possible that my cat will grow up to be a serial killer?

So i have 2 cats that are 1 and a half years old now and have been indoor cats. Now we have moved to a clean apt and they are not using their litter and destroying the carpet so we had to put them outside. There are other apt cats and a few strays outside too. Will they survive as outside pets since they never have been?

original puppy to large breed puppy (per the vets request) and now my puppy has bad BAD boo boo! I was concerned about this so I took him to the vet and she gave me some medicine to help control it...it hasn't helped. Has any one else ever had the same problem when switching different kinds of dog food? It actually is still Science Diet just for a different size dog.

I had started with a 33 gal tank and had that for 2-3 months, then decided to upgrade to a 55 gal tank. I transfered all of the water from the 33 to the 55 gal, then filled the rest with water. Almost everyone has died since "the move".

I now have about 40 lbs of live rock, 5 hermit crabs, 1 carmel shrimp, snails, 4 damsels, a lemon peeel and a blue tang.

I am hoping to aventually turn this into a coral reef/fish tank (but that is for later)

Anyways, my Tang doesn't seem so happy, he seems to be rubbing against the rock.

any advice??
