My cat has a problem with cats beating him up. Recently it got so bad, the vet told us it's necessary to keep him inside. He had always been a inside/outside cat since we found him on the streets. He SCREAMS and tries to pull open the door when he wants out.
Since we have to keep him in now, are there any tips? Please help!

So if you feed your dog kibble, how do you give a garlic supplement for fleas?

Money has been tight lately and we had to skimp on flea preventative. Problem is the weather didn't cooperate and flea season has been longer than normal this year. My dogs now have fleas and we're unable to get advantage for them at this time.

I know some people recommend garlic, but I am unsure of how to actually give it to them and in what quantities and how many times per week.

Thanks for answering!

I have been trying to find one. My family used to own a chocolate short hair named chewy and I absolutely loved the dog, but i cant seem to find any breeders aside from out of state.

I am getting tired of feeding my dog kibble from a bag. I will continue adding it though to a homemade diet or a bit more completness. I have been feeding GO to my pom for about a year now. i would just like to find a simple homemade recipie to make him instead of just throwing every thing in and not coming out with a completly health diet.

Some thing to know:
he likes everything
he is scared of large bones(sometimes even small ones)
I'd perfer it to include beef, since it is easier to afford

Why do they have to pee all around their area? Why can't the do something else...and I have heard its because they can smell the difference then shouldn't the be able to smell other dogs in the area?

This dog needs tons of exercise and i'd like to take him to the dog park, but the other owners are already banishing him without a muzzle. Will it help him to learn social skills by getting him used to the dog park with a muzzle and then gradually trusting him without? He came from a home with other dogs, but when he was allowed inside, he was kept isolated from them.

I WROTE A QUESTION FRIDAY ABOUT MY CHIHUAHUA WHEEZING AND HAVING A HARD TIME BREATHING. ONE EYE WAS SWELLING ETC. I HAD GIVEN HER BENEDRYL THINKING IT WAS ALLERGIES. ALSO TOLD YOU HOW BAD SHE BITES WHEN TAKEN TO THE VET. TOOK HER TO VET ABOUT AN HOUR AFTER READING YOUR ANSWERS. LET ME SAY SHE BIT MY RIGHT ARM IN THREE PLACES JUST GETTING HER OUT OF THE CAR. MY VET PRETTY MUCH KNEW WHAT WAS WRONG. AFTER TWO CHEST XRAYS HE SHOWED THEM TO ME. I COULDN'T BELIEVE WHAT I SAW. HER STOMACH FILLED HER WHOLE ABDOMEN. IT WAS PUSHING HEART,LUNGS&ESOPHAGUS UP SHE HAD WHAT THEY CALL A "BLOAT" .HER STOMACH COULD HAVE TWISTED AT ANY SECOND WHICH IS CAUSE FOR EMERGENCY SURGERY. IT'S AIR THAT GETS IN STOMACH AND IS USALLY ALWAYS IN LARGE DOGS WITH BIG CHEST. HE WAS PRETTY SHOCKED TO SEE IT IN A CHIHUAHUA. SHE STAYED OVERNIGHT AND GOES BACK IN A.M. IT'S A SERIOUS SITUATION AND MOST LIKELY WILL HAPPEN AGAIN. THERE IS A 50-50 CHANCE SHE WILL LOSE HER LIFE IF IT FLIPS OR DURING SURGRY. I AM SO SAD. PRAY

It was an accident actually. My female betta started jumping out of her jar when I would get her attention by tapping on the rim of her jar then I'd sprinkle pellets on the water. Eventually I would just tap on the rim and stick a pellet to my finger, she would jump out and pluck off the pellet! Unfortunately, I never measured to see how high she could go...

It was amazing! Then my little girl put all the pellets into the jar and the betta ate itself to death before I could save her. :( Has anyone else got a performing pet fish?

He's 3 years old and has been neutered since he was about 5 months old. He doesn't do this to ANYONE else. Every once in a while he'll do it to one other dog, but ONLY that dog. I can't do sit ups, or anything without him jumpin on! I know it's instinct and it's not a sexual thing. But why only me? Im a vet assistant and everyone I work with and even my boss (the vet) wasn't sure why he would mount only me. So im hoping someone out there knows!

How would you incorporate this into a car design?

The meat would be bio-degradable so it would be good for the environment.

I have two rabbits, a small male and a larger female. Both are not neutered. There doesn't seem to be any huge conflicts between the two of them, although my female rabbit will often run away when my male rabbit tries to get too close or starts sniffing her butt. The big problem, however, is that my male rabbit is constantly peeing on my female rabbit. She's a white bunny, so her fur stains terribly and it's now almost completely yellow. I give her baths, but it doesn't help because he always just pees on her again.

I don't want to separate them because we keep them in the yard in the mornings and putting up a fence would be a major hassle. I also want to encourage them to be friends. How do I get him to stop peeing on her and is there anything I can do to help them become better bunny friends?

I have a little **** zu, about 2 years old. Everytime is rains he seems to be sleepy and not very motivated. He hates walking in the rain, so i don't walk him for very long, i walk him long enough for him to do his business. Well at least a pee.

My rabbit seems to be sneezing all the time. She makes weird snuffling/snorting sounds and is constantly shaking her head. I think she's sneezing or trying to get rid of phlegm in her nose, cause when I'm nearby, sometimes I can feel moisture from when she's shaking her head. It's been going on for a couple of months at least. Is this normal behavior? Is there anything sold in pet stores that deals with this? Should I take her to the vet?

Okay, so my 11 month old cockapoo is getting fixed monday.
my mom and I had a little debate about this-
I tought that they would "chop off" his balls, becasue my fixed (male) cat looks like he doesn't have balls, just a big scar. But she thinks that they just cut or tie up the vain- like in humans.
But then, my cousin's 5 yr old "tea cup" poodle was just fixed this summer and she says they took off one ball...?
Is it different when they fix dog then when they fix cats?
Does the dog's size matter? (mine is about 25 lbs)
What will happen Monday morning to my pup?

AND...

What are some precautions that I should take when I drop him off and pick him up?

I did this before with my cat, but that was 5 years ago...


Thanks!

Is it possible to buy Frontline plus from a place without getting it from the vet?
My two cats have not been to the vet, they dont have records of getting shots. I cannot afford to get them all the shots they need.
