Help me make a perfect pet list?

My apartment's manager must approve of the pet. They are very strict here
Even dog breeds though that might take a bit longer to get cause I have to save up a lot of money.


I live in an apartment and have wanted a pet like all my life but my apartment doesn't allow snakes, ferrets and certain dog breeds and also if I get a dog or cat they will charge me 400$ deposit!
I have to take a list of pets to the office to see if they allow me to have it. Need a good quiet pet so birds are out of the question unless there is one that isn't too noisy.


So far I have iguana, sugar glider,

My heart hurts :(
Thank you!
No Asshole answers pls!

I would like to hear ideas on pets that can live comfortably in glass habitat, but also is a low maintence animal for a five year old. Also, an animal that doesn't get to grow too large in size, I would like something that stays relatively the same size.

My cat just got F.I.P, a rare disese that can't be cured, so he has to get put to sleep :(. Anyways, I was just wondering, are scientists working with vets to find a cure or medicine for F.I.P. so It can be cured?

I have been considering getting a gerbil for a pet, but I'd love to hear from gerbil owners and the basic care of them. I've done some research online, but I know there's plenty more for me to learn. Here's a little background information on my home:

I'm a teenager, so I do go to school. My mom leaves for work at 10 and I get home from school around 2:30, so the gerbil would get plenty of attention and be able to run around in an exercise ball and be handled every day. I have a sister, and she can also help care for them.

I have been thinking about getting a pair of gerbils to keep each other company. From what I've read, they do best in pairs.

What brand of food that I can find a petco or petsmart do you recommend? What toys do you recommend putting in the aquarium? Do you recommend letting them run around in an exercise ball? How is your gerbil's home set up? What is the health care of gerbils like? Do they easily get sick or have other health problems (tumors, etc.)

Thank you.

My boyfriend and I have gotten ourselves settled living in a spacious apartment. Now we feel we're ready for a puppy. He wants a puggle. I want a medium sized breed. We are fairly active, would socialize the dog but would be gone 8 hrs a day and would need to crate train him. Any ideas on a good breed?

I asked WHY you were here...

Now, how do we KEEP you here? How do we keep this section fun? I told you this was a progressive question. How do we keep our sanity? We know the dumb questions aren't going to end. We aren't going to win all the battles.

So lets have an open and honest discussion.

How do we keep the Dogs section fun and interesting - especially those who have been here awhile? How do we keep our sense of humor without offending? How do we educate without lecturing? How do we not bore ourselves to death? How do we "talk" about dogs without chatting?

I think that this IS the key question my friends. I like all of you. I hate to see people leave.

And as many of you already know, this is most certainly not a poll and I cannot answer my own question for fear of having it removed.

I cannot wait to read these answers.

I recently adopted a Whippet mix who didn't have testicles, so I assumed he was neutered. When I took him to the vet, he told me that there were no sign of testicles or of a neuter scar. After reading about Whippets online, I discovered that they're prone to undescended testicles.

Do you know of any repuable breeders in New England? One of my friends is looking into adding another Newfoundland to their family (her Newfoundland DOES drool LOL).

She has a 12 year old Lanseer girl which she purchased from a breeder in Ohio where she used to live. She now resides in MA. Her girl is now a 'senior' and would like to add a puppy to the mix.

Any suggestions? Do you breed?

where i lived before they always gave a pre-ansethetic first , then would tube the patients and use a gas anesthesia, but this one just uses something to knock them out with and some one told me that her dog came home very weird and was very scared to go back. is this right, don't all vets use gas for surgeries?

you admire, respect and adore, BUT would never fit into your lifestyle, and tell us why.

For me, it would be a St. Bernard *or any of the "drooling breeds"*. i love this breed! they are wonderful critters..but i couldn't handle the drool. lol, no offense and I'm sure that might be a lame excuse for some,but for me it's an allergy issue.
i am allergic to dogs and i have asthma. i have 4 of them and take medication to keep my allergies in check; much to my doctor's disapproval (but..then he can just shut up! i wont get rid of my dogs).
BUT if my dogs lick me..i break out in a rash..so the thought of a sweet lovable drool bucket like the St. Bernard is a bit scary! hee hee.

I have a 5 mo old boxer puppy. We currently have him on a large breed puppy formula food (not stating which brand bc that is not the discussion topic).

I read somewhere not to feed large breed puppies puppy food due to the high fat content.

Is this true? Arent they supposed to have more fat and protein as babies?

When should I convert him over?

I was wondering do you think it is just as good to get a dog from the classifieds in the newspaper or the ASPCA or is it better to get a puppy from a breeder?

We are moving soon and our new apartment will not accept all of our dogs due to breed restrictions, so,unfortunately, that puts me in the position of trying to find good,clean,safe,loving homes for dogs I love and consider almost family members.Having never done this before,I want to make sure I am doing everything I can to ensure they will be in a good home. Would you simply take them to a shelter and trust professionals to find them homes,even though they may be put to sleep(horrible thought) if no home is found or put an ad in somewhere and have people come in to adopt them?If the latter, what questions do you ask and what do you look for to best ensure they are going to a good home? Any input would be appreciated!

I sent a deposit to a breeder for a puppy of a litter that is due mid november. They returned my call when I first contacted them and were available for two other calls I made after the initial contact. They told me that they would send a puppy contract once they received my deposit. I left a message about a week in a half after sending the deposit, after I saw that the check had cleared -just to touch base and to see when I could expect the contract. I then tried again about four days later. They have not returned my calls. It has been three weeks. They appear to be a reputable breeder. Should I be concerned? -and is this normal for a breeder? They are listed on the national club website for the breed, they have an up to date website, and when I spoke with another breeder they knew who I was talking about and didn't say anything bad about them. I'm not worried about the deposit money, I just really want to know that all of my ducks are in a row to get my puppy! Any advise?

I own the cat in this picture, but I'm not keen on all the siamese "point" colors. (This cat is a Snowshoe.) I just put down lilac-point because I thought that's what it was, but I'm not 100% sure.

i have another question. when they do those dog shows like i see on tv and get to the final groups and have to judge between toy group, working group, terrier group, herding, etc. how do the judges pick what is supposed to be the winner out of these groups? is it the judges preference of his type of dog? i mean usually when i watch these shows, the little toy poodle wins, lol. how do they judge the toy poodle against a german shephard, etc. to get best in show? thanks.

She is 3 months old and still has accidents in the house. She will pee not long after coming inside sometimes.
We punish her when she goes inside and also offer positive reinforcement when she goes outside...

Stopped at a gas station yesterday I would normally not stop at. Not quite sure why.Guy earlier had apparently slowed his truck down, kicked her out in the MIDDLE of a four land road, and then drove off.I believe if you find it you were chosen.. lucky me.Yes, of course I brought her home.She's bout 3 months old.
She came in with dogs,cats and a toddler(after we left the vet of course) and made her lil self right at home with my other dog's "bo bo's(toys)" and slept on the sofa.She's beautifully tempered..loves EVERYONE.We got x-rays yesterday, shots,blood tests,wormed and some Frontline.Should have seen her lil self prancing around clean and shiny.Made it ALL worth it.
I sit here now in tears I scared her so badly. All I did was start sweeping the floor.When she came in and saw the broom she FREAKED. She screamed bloody murder,she fell down and she shook and peed all over herself. She's still in the corner.The vet said she'll outgrow it. He's not holding the broom! What do I do?
