I have been told Frontline works better than advantage, but isn't frontline more expensive?

Someone asked why people answer if they don't know the answer.
The question I ask is: Why do so many people own pets that know nothing about them. So many ask about breeding, and serious obvious problems that would require a Vet.
Why are they breeding, and why are they not going to a Vet and asking these questions later?
There is a huge problem in the United States with Puppy Mill, and Unwanted pets, and if we could help people to educate themselves better maybe we could stop all that.

She only does it in the evening and licks and licks until her skin is red! The vet has carried out some tests but cannot find a reason for this. Any ideas anyone?

I've wanted a pet for over 7 years, but my parents won't let me get one. I've tried everything, including talking to them millions of times, telling them the pros and cons, and even offering to take care of the dog or cat myself (i know I can do it, I took care of a horse for 2 weeks at camp). Any suggestions to help?

I was intrested in getting a Papillon. A couple of years ago we lost our Akita and have been cautious to get another dog. I was thinking of getting a Pap but the only concern is, no one would be home to let the dog outside. Crates arn't something we are looking into would it be okay that the pap stayed inside for around 6 hours?

Does anyone know a breeder near New York!?

I have 3 dogs (3 differnet breeds). They've lived well together for several years. Now, 2 of them have suddenly become very mean to the one. They won't let her eat and they tackle, fight and hurt her. Why would they do that and how should I handle it?

She is about 9 months old and a mix of hound, lab, shepard, pointer, maybe beagle and heaven knows what else. She is about 35 #. She will eat anything I give her. The vet said beef or chicken broth but how would this help? Her hair fell out where she was wearing a collar and I have removed it except when we are out for a walk. i got her a harness instead. I have heard fish oil?? Thanks for suggestions.

OKay since I got my puppy 2 weeks ago he has always walked in circles and kinda gets a little wobly on his feet sometimes as well as drinks a ton of water. He is 5 months old so I took him in to get fixed this morning and brought up these problems 30 minutes later I get a call saying they needed to do blood work because they think there is something wrong with his liver chunt? They said if thats what it is he will need to go somewhere else for surgery.

My question is has anyone else had a dog with liver problems? Could it be something else besides he liver?

She eats and drinks lots of water but is bleeding heavy and has lost alot of weight. Is this normal or is something else going on with her. She goes to the bathroom but does not poop alot. Is this internal bleeding or is she dying. I hate to take her in and they tell me she is dying cause I do not have the heart to put her down. Thank-you I hope someone can answer my question.

A dog recently came to my house, in spite of trying to find her owner, I haven't had any luck. She's an adorable Miniature Dachshund and I am trying to take care of her whether this ends up being her permanent home or not, until I find the owner. In the meantime, I have put out several different types of dogfood for her in the beginning and she wouldn't eat it, in fact "starved" for 2 days.I felt so bad for her, that I ended up giving her "real food." Good thing she's so tiny, and I can afford to give her scraps. My husband is worried that people food isn't as good for her as dogfood. I try to give her a well balanced diet with starch,meat and non-gassy veggies- if you know what I mean. Is that enough?

She is eating and acting normal otherwise, but I'm not sure what to do for her. It looked like it was starting to get better yesterday but today when I took her out it was diareha again. I work days and my husband has not worked for a while, so he was home with her, but last week when this started, he had started a new job
so she was byherself all day. Could that change be causing her to have diareha?

I heard on the news last night that a local dog fighting ring was discovered yesterday. The dogs are being removed from the home. It makes me sick to think of any dog being subjected to this horrific abuse. Can anyone tell me why people do this?

Holistic/alternative vets recommend it. It is used for gardening though, so I'm a bit concerned about using it on my dog. Looking for a second opinion. Thanks!
