Has anyone heard of Iverhart Plus Blue heartworm pills? My vet is now carrying this brand and I'm concerned because my dog weighs 4 lbs and this medicine is for 0-25 pounds. Seems like a big weight difference!

My fiancee wants me to start mixing mayo into our dog's food so that he'll get more "swole" and bulk up.... is this true? Because I've never heard of it. And I don't want to make the dog sick, but, he does need to gain some more weight.

Do you tip your groomer? I am a groomer, and ppl seem to think we're millionaires. Most work on commision, and it is customary to tip. Just like you would tip your hairdresser. Why don't you?

My miniture schnauzer has allergies and is on immunotherapy treatments. I have been giving him an antihistamine for the itching but it does not seem to be helping. How does Benedryl benifit itching?

Now that it's not required by law to report a dog being run over, your beloved pet could be killed and you'd never know. Do they just sweep up the body without checking for micro-chips? If so, don't you think there should be some provision for checking before they are disposed of?

In less than SIX MONTHS, two of the five Daschunds my family has, have had to have almost all of their teeth pulled. Hannah was the second. She just went back in to the vet today. They're going to pull most of the teeth on the right side of her mouth. The roots of her teeth were BLACK! Both her and her "sister" Daisy were adopted from the same breeder near Rochester,N.Y. At almost any given time, there can be as many as 60 dogs living at this "PUPPY MILL"! They even refused to give my one sister-in-law, Daisy's vet records. My brother-in-law, has also had vet bills for the other three dogs he has. Hannah's vet bill is $2,000! They also found a polyp on one of her ovaries. The results of the biopsy isn't in yet. I told Hannah's "MOTHER", she, her sister, and brother should consider suing these people on "Judge Judy". Maybe some public humilation could get justice for Hannah and her sisters!

I have a chocolate lab, he is 1 1/2 years old. My husband and I are thinking about getting another lab. Has anyone noticed any huge behavioral or training issues between chocolates, blacks, and yellows? I have been told chocolates are the most stubborn of the bunch, but I have nothing to compare him to. Anyone own a chocolate and a black or yellow?

My dog has a bark collar and it works fine. He still barks his head off at everything that moves (and some stuff that doesn't) outside of my house. His bark is so loud that you can hear it on the second floor behind a closed door with pillows over your ears. I don't know why the collar isn't even (?phasing?) him. Is he getting high off the electricity, causing him to bark more? Is he used to it by now, and doesn't give a crap whether or not 20 or so volts are coursing through his body? Or is it something else? Help plz!

This is my first question ever and I've enjoyed reading other peoples questions and responses. After 10 years without a dog, basically because I know how much time they need and consume I haven't felt like I could give them what they needed until now. I want a dog that I'm able to run with and I do a lot of hiking/outdoor activites on the weekends and I want a dog that will be able to join me on such adventures. I have had several different breeds in my life and have some pretty good experience training dogs but will probably read another book or two and maybe even enroll in an obedience class. I can come home from work during lunch to take the dog out around noon and will then return around 5 to go for an evening run. Is this enough activity for a JRT or will I be boring him? Thank you in advance.

I have a smooth fox terrier and wanted to show him but his ears started to prick the older he got. I love him and wouldn't change him for the world, just curious.

There's this minipin that comes into our condo complex and poops all over our lawn and runs around to every door and antagozises all the dogs in the complex and drives them crazy. He has no collar or ID of any kind.

I tried to talk to her owner NICELY but she just gave me attitude. I approached her by saying I'm concerned about her dog getting run over by a car in our complex. He's very small and people often can't see him when they're backing out. She just stared at me and said "ah hun" and nothing else. I asked her to please keep him on a leash so he doesn't get accidentally run over-nothing! He still runs all over the neighborhood. I don't want to call the animal control because it's not the dog's fault. It's the irrisponsible owner's fault. I don't want to run the risk of him gettinng euthanized because of her.

Here's my question... would it be wrong to take him to an no-kill rescue shelter and just tell them that I found him as a stray? That way maybe he'll get a better home.

I want to breed lhasa apsos but not for a few years. I just wanted to know how everyone else got started in breeding*ONLY QUALITY BREEDERS* answers only!!! I have began reading books about the dog and have been doing a lot of research. I want to do this because of my love for the breed. NOT for money or anything else!!! Now I want to make sure that I am doing everything the correct way and I just wanted to know what all I should do to prepare. I still have several years until I want to start but there is so much preparing I want to do.

The president of the lhasa apso club lives in my state! so that should help!

(I will not be breeding the lhasa I have now, I have already had her spayed)

If you have a dog and you had to leave town for about a month on a business trip and couldn't bring your dog what would you truthfully do? Would you call a pet-sitting business?

How can I get customers?

What do you think...

Took my dog to the groomer last week. It was her first time. Groomer did a good job with the cut but asked me to bring my dog back in a week. I asked why. She said she was not able to trim my Pookie's nails. I told the groomer that that's not going to happen because she was abused before I got her and she will not let anyone except me touch her feet. She insisted that I bring her back the next week so she can try again. I told her I'd think about it.

Why is she so persistent about having her back? Even if I did bring her back, there's nothing she can do other than traumatize my Pookie. I trim her nails at home myself so it's not like she's in dire need of it. I don't want to leave my Pookie at the groomer's to sit in a cage for five hours and pay $50 for them to do nothing!!! Am I right to not take her back?
