So I have a set of clippers that I use to cut my hair. Its so hot outside and I wanna shave my dog but I just didnt know if I could use the clippers. Are they strong enough to cut her thick hair?

If any of you are a vet, it would be appreciated. I have an intact female that shows no signs of heat or a UTI, but my male is going nuts! I know there is a such thing as a silent heat and I'm wondering if that may be it. She shows no swelling, bleeding whatsoever, so I am concerned. She playful towards him (but she typically likes to pick on him unless we put an end to it) but she displays no flagging with her tail. Should I wait and see if she shows more signs/breeding behavior in a couple weeks or should I run a urine test to the vet pronto?

I'm not a bad mommy. She's inside most of the time. Sometimes I have to leave her outside when I'm away because she has a "potty limit." I give her lots of water and there's lots of shade outside. She won't use a kiddy pool so that's out. Any ideas? My poor girl can't take off her coat :)

I am trying to decide whether or not to get a Pomeranian or a Shih Tzu. Which one is better (shedding, yipping, biting, getting along, etc.)?

Thanks in advance!

I have a 3 month old puppy who is doing very well with holding his pee while in his crate. However, I find that in the morning he wakes up around 5:45 am...I take him out and he pees (sometimes poop as well). I feed him right away and wait about an hour and 15 minutes while I get ready for work and to allow his food to settle. He consistently poops when I let him out the 2nd time in the morning but he doesn't pee. I'm noticing this more as he gets older. Is he learning to hold his urine more or is the food in his stomach soaking up the water? Any thoughts? I find this slightly odd because he will pee after he eats in the afternoon but just not in the morning.

I was talking to a mother at my sons pre - school the other day when she mentioned she had a dog. i asked her what breed it was and she said it was a Heinz. Ive never heard of one but didnt say so to my friend. Im just curious to know what a heinz actually looks like as i thought i knew my breeds of dog quite well.

Do Shih tzu usually get along with house cats? Are Shih Tzu's friendly and the type of dog that likes to snuggle with you and lay on your lap?

Thanks in advance!

She wants out, then she wants in and so on. Only in one place 1-5 minutes. I won't leave her out because I don't want her barking and bothering people. I took her for a short walk. It was short because she is hyper and wouldn't stop pulling and my arm hurts (tennis elbow). What else can I do with her INSIDE that will make her happy AND not hurt my arm? She is a 7 month old Golden Retriever.

My schnauzer is now 10 weeks old and he is still nipping. When he does it I immediately put him on his back, cover his mouth with my hand, and say no bite. I hold it for a while maintiaing eye contact. Eventually i let go and he tries to bite again. SHould i repeat the procedure or just put him in the crate (time out). I can't walk away from him. He refuses to be ignored... :)

I haven't been on here very long, but a lot of you seem to think that vet's should allow people to make payments. Why? You took on the responsbility of an animal- you need to take care of it. If you can't pay for vet services- don't get an animal. Do you go to the grocery store and say "OOPS- can you bill me, I don't have enough money this week." Veterinary offices are buisnesses just like everywhere else- they have bills, overhead, inventory and staff to pay. It is not their responsiblity to take care of your sick pet when you can't afford it. I mean seriously- do I go to your place of work and ask for a payment plan? Do breeders allow you to make payments on the pup you bought? Before you get an animal- make sure you can afford it. You can expect to average around $350- $500 PER PET a year just in vet services- vaccines, heartworm prevention and dental cleanings. So, then you can add in another $200+ for a high quality food. Emergency= $1000+. Can you afford this???

I have plenty of room around my new home in the country to raise dogs. I need to find a pet broker to tell me what kinds of dogs people want and be able to depend on the broker to buy them when they are ready. I live in the Fort Smith, Arkansas area.
