The ingredients say "meat, meat meal, and meat byproduct" and stuff like that, but do you know what that really means? It ain't sirloin, chicken breast, and veggies, and of course they aren't going to advertise chicken beaks and road kill. Reading the ingredients doesn't help if you don't know what you are looking at.

I preferably want a lab or a golden retreiver but I wont be home for around 6 hours every week day. Would that be unfair on a dog?
But I have a big house and a large garden. And I can take the dog on an our long walk every day.

Are goldens or labs the right dog for me?

Also, how much excercise should an average lab or golden get. And how much do they shed. (I know they shed alot but how much in detail?)

So, I took our dog (she's 2, and was adopted from a pound about 3 weeks ago) to get over pneumonia?

The vet we took her to didn't do a chest x-ray because of her history. We took her in last week, and she doesn't seem to be getting better. The doc has her on Baytril and medicine to clear up the lungs, but I can't really see any difference in her. She is eating and drinking - not a lot - but she is. She doesn't seem dehydrated... But she isn't really as perky as she was.

He said only time will tell if she will pull through... but she just doesn't seem to be getting better? I took her back in on Monday, and he just basically charged me for the visit, and then told me the same thing.

I don't know what more I can do... she has no symptoms or distemper... just a hacking cough, sleeps a lot... her temp was 103.8 ... but it has seemed to come down...

Any ideas what else it could be, how long it should take, or what else I can do?

He is 10 mons. A chiguagua pure breed. The hospital would not see him, cause I didn't have money. I even took something he threw up (looked like pieces of raw liver), tried boiled rice and ground turkey, it worked for two days, but he's worst now. I can't lose him. He's all I have. Please help!!!

My poodle had a litter in July and she is due to go into heat again,according to her previous owner. I dont know much about my poodle, Mocha, because I have only had her 3 weeks. I noticed that she has been breathing heavily for the last 2 days. what could that mean? My mother in law is a vetinary(sp?) asst but I live in san diego and she is in Louisiana. I told her about the heavy breathing and she said that Mocha may have ate something that is irritating her throat and trying to clear it out but she isnt hacking she is breathing. I want to take her to the vet but I dont REALLY want to spend the money if its nothing. If i dont figure it out I will take her next week

My dog is going nuts, she's a 3 year old toy fox terrier, and we think that she might have gotten into a friends diet pills. She had these diet pills that made her all pumped up. So our dog is running around in circles acting like she's guarding and stuff, its kind of weird, wouldn't even eat treats. Listens to commands but is just a complete spaz. She's normally very lazy and relaxed. What could it be, and could it do long term damager?

I'm looking to purchase a toy dog and need some help selecting a breed.

I need a dog that

1. is very small (hence toy dog)
2. good with young kids
3. easy to train, must be house broken easily
4. is good by itself as I am at work 9-5 daily
5. does not shed.

Any help would be kindly appreciated.

Thanks

My dog seems to respond very well to popcorn. Is there anything wrong with using popcorn as the incentive for training? I would be curious to see if that is something dogs shouldn't eat.

when they can't afford vet bills, don't have time for them, don't want to walk them, don't want to take the time to train them, etc, etc, etc?

Are you really that selfish?
It's pathetic and I feel bad for the animals in the situation.

My grandma gave her spagetti, and ever since, she's been throwing up. It's sometimes mucous-ish and sometimes it almost resembles blood, not to mention it stinks, horribly. She is also having really bad diarehha. I had to leave her outside cause she was vomitting everywhere. I feel really bad for her. Was it the tomato sauce in the spagetti? Was it EVEN the spagetti? Is there any pet medications I can give her? I cannot afford a vet visit right now. I try to give her as much love and attention that I can. I try to comfort her after she throws up, mainly cause I don't know what's going on. Oh...she was laying on me, and I could her her stomach growling, and then right after I heard that, she jumped off of me and threw up. What does that mean? Please Help!

I have a chihuahua and her toe nails are really long. I bought a doggy toe nail clipper but I'm scared to clip them. I feel like I might hurt her. So will someone please let me know.

My brother's dog still sometimes has accidents in our hallway and whenever she poops the smell comes into the living room well sometimes i've noticed it smells like semen. Could there be a reason it smells like this? I know this is a dumb question to ask but i was hoping there isn't anything medicaly wrong with her if it is the case.
