My little chihawhaha ( sorry can't spell it) My little Taco bell dog some how got his foot shut in the gate to the yard, and broke all 4 of the tiny bones on the top of his foot. He has to have surgery now and have pins but in to heal the bones. My question is Is there Vitiams I can give him to help the healing? The Vet said it will take a long time for him to heal up and if he doesn't heal right he will loose the use of his foot. Any Vitiams anyone?

I just started working at a Dog boarding/kennel place, ( and supply store ) and I want advice from owners. Not websites. What are common behaviors of dogs, and dogs in kennels. For ex: There's the daycare dogs, that come in every day for 6 hours while their peoples work. They all know each other, and are all in a room together. The owner ( of the kennel ) said that I shouldn't go in there and try to make friends or whatever- because the dogs will get attached - and will cause them to start fighting/biing etc. Like thats the kinda stuff I want to know. Also i'm a cat owner and person so I'm trying to do my research and learn more about dogs and dog behaviors etc. Any help is appriciated, experiences, what to do not to do etc. I'm not dog dumb, i do know quite a bit, but i know as a cat owner- theres more i need to learn about dogs! Thanks y'all!

We started a weekago and i know it takes a while but it almost seams like she is going in the wrong direction. She started by using the "Piddle Pad" but now she is going on the floor new to the pad. we take her out ALOT and wait out there for about 15 min and use "Potty Outside" but it usually when we get in the house about 15 mintues later she goes. Just looking for some tips THANKS!

Both my dogs are adopted and each is terrified of water for different reasons. The male was dumped over a bridge into water, and my female had been in a shelter for 18 of her 24 months of life and NEVER been given a bath. So what can I do? It is such an ordeal when I go to bathe them, & they are large, Rhodesian Ridgebacks. Once I get them in the tub I comfort them and it is somewhat okay, but just getting them in there is CRAZY.

I have a 12 year old Australian Shepherd/Blue Heeler mix who has alwasy been very regimented about his meals-usually the same time, measured amount, two feedings a day, very little people food, even treats at the same times. Until about 6 months ago, you could barely get the food in the bowl and he was diving right in. Suddenly he would ignore his food. He would still eat, whether it be treats or whatever, anything but his food, which has been the same brand since he was a puppy. I started "seasoning" his food..a little drizzle of honey, some cereal crumbs, Iams doggie gravy, stuff like that. Sometimes he still would not eat. He has been eating regularly again twice a day but now I have to put a little "flavor" on it for him to do that. His other behavior and health seem to be normal, no vomiting or irregular potty incidents, still drinking normally. Any thoughts?

She scratches at it, but only scratches her stomach. She licks at it which only results in scruffing up the hair on her back. So far she has not been able to get at it with tongue or claw, otherwise it would have been bitten off! Anyone has experience with this? We will see the vet tomorrow.

backyard. We also have 4 cats. I am an animal lover, and just wonder if I will feel like I have too many animals... we have a six year old daughter who would love a dog.
I haven't had a dog since I was a kid. Should we go for it?

Should I board my toy poodle while I'm on vacation? He's small, easily nervous, and not used to other dogs. Will it be safe for him?

I rescued a 5 or 6 mos. old puppy from an auto garage where he was immaciated. Long story short his physical health is fine now that I have him, it is his behavior that I need advice with. I realize that it will take him time to trust me; he is very lovable but very hardheaded. Any advice.

My little peanut is a handful, as you can see with my other questions. I do love her even though. She has been very dominant since 8 wks old. She doesn't like people and I am constantly trying to socialize her with no luck. Anyway...

My question:

I have bought her many stuffed animal toys. She has torn them all open, so I have to buy the hardest rubber toys from Petco. My question is should I take her toy away when she starts to play with it violently? She will hold it in her mouth and shake her head so hard and growl at it. She acts like she is NUTS!!! Am I encouraging her behavior by letting her keep playing like this?

Why do so many people post this myth? If that were true, Americans with our mixed ancestory 'melting pot' of genes should have no cancer, diabetes, arthritis, epilepsy, osteoporosis, etc. & yet we do...and so do mutt dogs!
When I worked for vets, at least it was predictable what health problems a dog may face by breed, and good breeders would screen to eliminate genetic defects from the gene pool. This is the reality: mutts have health problems as much as purebreds - they are just more random & therefore less predictable. That can actually be more of a problem, FYI.
