Hello all. Before getiing a kitten, I decided to do my research on which kitten food would be acceptable to feed kitty. From my research I learned that there should not be any by-products or gluten, and that the protein source should be the first ingredient on the ingredient list. I think I have found a good brand at last. The brand is Pet Promise. It is listed as a canned entree for cats and kittens. Here is the ingredient list:
Chicken, chicken broth, chicken liver, brown rice, potato protein, carrots, potatoes, minerals [potassium chloride, dicalcium phosphate, zinc sulfate, ferrous sulfate, manganese sulfate, copper sulfate, cobalt carbonate, potassium iodide], locust bean gum, guar gum, salt, taurine, vitamins [Vitamin E supplement, thiamine mononitrate, Vitamin A supplement, pyridoxine hydrochloride, niacin, calcium pantothenate, riboflavin supplement, Vitamin D-3 supplement, Vitamin B-12 supplement, menadione sodium bisulfite complex (source of Vitamin K activity), folic acid,

I have toured Mrs. Baird's Bread, Borden Ice-Cream and Frito Lay factories where products for human consumption is made. I am wondering if anyone has asked their dog food company where their food is processed and if they can tour the plant? I'd have to wonder why any food company keeps this secret! One dog food that is supposed to be a good one, and may well be, even states at their site that they have left one processor and moved to another that they cannot disclose!

If you have asked, I'd like to know what you were told.
I was given specific ans. to specific questions from my dog food company, but I didn't get a direct ans. about where the plant is or whether it can be toured. So if others of you will e-mail your dog food co's and ask "Where is your food processed and can i tour that plant?" I will too, and I'd be curious as to what the companies will answer...

His brother and he got their wings clipped when they were younger. The older one's wings grew back but the younger one's didn't. His feathers are often fluffed up and disarayed and he won't let me mess with his wing to look at it too much. Sometimes when he's preening it he'll squak agitatedly. His older brother'll peck at him sometimes, though that could just be a sibbling thing. I don't know... should I be concerned about his wing?

I currently have 2 goldfish. They live in a tank, with no heater, they have a pump, filter... I want guppies. Why cant I put them in there. I know goldfish are coldwater and guppies are freshwater, but what is the difference between the water. could it kill the guppies, would they be happy...? if they could live, what would their life be like and how long would they live for like that?

I use the magic coat wipes because I know bathing them often is bad for their skin. However, we found out that she was allergic to them and itches terribly when we used to use it. What can I do to get rid of her stench without irritating my poor little pup?

My 12 week old Jack Russell puppy has recently started really chowing on his food. He no longer chews as he is eating, and often starts to cough while eating. Does anyone have any insight as to how I can get him to slow down while eating?

Note on feeding: We are currently feeding him 1/3 cup of food 3 times per day. 6:30 am, 12:30 pm, and 6:30 pm

lol...not really a big ???, but I love my huskies and they are the best dogs I have ever had. They are so loved and spolied. They are hardly ever on a leash and always stay around us. They love to jump and play in the snow and like to build snow caves at night. They love to go mountain biking and backcountry snowboarding too :) Have you hugged your doggy today?

Here the are!

Whenever I took my dog to the vet to get his nails trimmed, the vet would quickly rub some kind of powder on my dog's nail if it were bleeding. We've stopped taking him to the vet for nail trimmings (Too expensive!) and instead clip them at home. However, if he starts bleeding, there's nothing we can really do to stop him from bleeding all over the carpet when we're finished. Would anyone know the powder or some kind of substitute that would stop the bleeding after trimming my dog's nails?

My dog Bain was playing with his squeaky toys he cut for Cmas, he bumped his head on something and cut it. I am the only one he let near him to clean it up and fix it. He growled at my dad.

Bain was laying under the chair I was sitting in and my other dog came close to me and he attacked him. That never happened before then. (Ozzy's okay and we are making sure it doesn't happen again. The porr little baby was really scared and had hurt feelings after. I felt really bad for him. I almost cried.).

He follows me everywhere when I am home.

When I come home from staying the night somewhere, he pins me down and hugs me for a while.

I want to try new cat litter so I bought some Johnny Cat this morning, I like the clay, I have multiple cats. I was using Fresh Step, it seemed ok but at times it appeared like some of the shipments were different, the color varied and my house began to smell. Years ago I used to swear my Johnny Cat, now it is maximized new for multiple pets. My issue is that does Johnny Cat still withstand by its name, does it still withhold against odor. The color of the clay is so dark opposed to Fresh Step. Does this make a difference? Someone help. Should I return what I haven't used?

I've had my puppy for nearly two weeks and I'm unsure what to do with her in her crate at night. The crate was too big, so I sectioned it off so that she could only have space to lie down, sit and turn around. Yet she still urinated and deficated in that small area during the night - from about 10.30/11pm to 6.30am.

What should I do?? Any advice would be much appreciated - all the books I have don't say much about during the night. My pup seems to wake up at some point in the night, elimate and then go back to sleep.

She has a little bed inside the crate with a blanket sort of thing on it. It's a metal crate.

Thanks and please no people telling me that crate training is evil.

I am so stressed! I got a new puppy for Christmas and I've been trying to think of a name but I can't think of one. Or I can't find the right fit. Every time I think I've find the name, I look at him and say it but it doesn't feel right. There is a name I'm searching for and I'm not sure if I've found it or not. As well, everytime I think of the perfect name I can't use it because someone else I know uses that name for something or it reminds me of something. I want a more unique name then Max and I don't like people names for pets like Becky. Names like Toby and Cooper are fine but nothing to known or to much for a person. Any advice on naming my dog or personal experiences? When do I know I've got the name? I've had that feeling again and again that it was the one but then it wasn't. People are pressuring me to name him but I just can't find it! I'm so FRUSTRATED.

Breed: Miniature Australian Shepherd
Colors: Tri-Black (White, and Black with a bit of copper
