I have a Havanese puppy and she is 7 months old right now. Sh is already up to her full weight that she is to get to. So when can I start to give her Adult dog food? I don't want her getting fat on the puppy food! Please help.

I have a female puppy (3 months) and a male cat (teenager) and I have had my cat for almost a year and about 2 months ago I brought home my shih-poo (shih-tzu mixed with poodle) puppy and at first the cat would hiss at the puppy but mostly he would just stare him down! but now he actually lets the puppy come near him and the puppy will bother the cat by biting him following him around for hours and then after a while the cat will turn around and kind of smack him around and bit him but no really in an aggressive way. Sometimes the cat will get mad and hiss or run away.

Are they just playing or do they not like each other?

I have already had my appartment exterminated once and my dog has been to the vet for a deep flea bath. I have continued to vacume and vacume...nothing is working.

He is not allowed upstairs and lately he keeps going up there and getting into garbage and relieving himself on the carpet. Even if he is yelled at two times in a row for it, he will go right back up there! When I go up there to get him he ignores me when I tell him downstairs! My lab would never do this. Then again I've had him since he was a puppy. I adopted my wheaton about 3 years ago from a family that were giving him up.

I have a labrador at the moment and she is getting old (11 now) and I am thinking about haing another but the hair lying around from 2 labradors would be unbearable I think!
So basically looking for a retreiver that is as intelligent as a labby with a different coat!

My boyfriend wants to "free feed" the dog, and I think feeding her at specific times like two or three times a day is best. What do you think? She is still a puppy right now.

He has 6 different Kong type/ball food dispensers, loads of soft and hard toys, balls etc. Chews of various types. None given to him all at once, is played with alot and excersized, but still is chewing skirting boards and ripping off wallpaper, and "stealing" anything that he can find the minute my back is turned.

so much in the news in the last few days about rothweillers attacking kids in the UK, a 5 month old baby has died and today a 2 year old is in hospital because of the same breed. I have a kerry blue terrier and their nature is supposed to be ferocious and stubborn , yet in their history they were left to babysit children in their homes when the parents went to tend to their farms, 1800, are we to blame as a society NOW for the change in any dogs behaviour. would love to know your views?

Should I spend a fortune on a papered Pug, or risk getting a dog from a 'backyard breeder'?
What's a Pug's temperment like? Are they good with small kids? How easy are they to potty train? Anything else I should know?

I train my 10 months old dog and I wonder at what age he won't be able to learn new commands.

Are there any concerns I should have about a puppy that is taken away from is mother this young? The puppy is eating liquified/solid puppy food right now (mostly solid though) and is doing fine. The puppy has been started on its initial deworming treatment and appears healthy in every area.

My dog has been growling at me and my kids, we love him and we play with him and do things with him and we dont do anything to make him mad or anything but when he is growling at us and snapping at me and the kids what does this mean? I am considering on putting him down for he is getting aggressive. We hade him for a year and he came to us all the way from Virginia. I think he was mistreated by the orignal breeder or owner. He is two now but I think he is older. When we bought him the people said that they kept him in his kennel and not around people much. Any suggestions? He is our main gaurdian but he is becoming a threat to my kids and me. He is by the way a full pure bred Lowrider American Staffordshiire Terrior, in other words a pit bull.

The poor thing, she's old and has gottten to the point where she can't get up off the floor, when she try's to get up, she yelps really bad. I know I need to take her down to be put to sleep, but she's over 100 lbs. and i don't know how to get her down the stairs and into the car to take her to the Vet. To make matters worse, we don't have any money to even put her down....Any advise sure would be appreciated. We live in Green bay, Wi.
This is going to be the hardest thing I ever had to do.....I love her so much.

Hi, I have a 20 month old female Jack Russell who is about to come in to season for the 3rd time. I have been told this is a good time to mate her, before having her spayed. She is quite petite, so have been careful to find her a mate who also quite small. Problem is, he is only 7 months old! Is he too young to mate with? Any help appreciated, cheers, Chris
