I'm tired of buying cat food and having the dog eat it. Why not just feed him the cat food? He's not overweight. I'd like to put the bowls on the floor for the cats and dog. Separating the cats is difficult. If weight isn't the issue and the cats like the cat food then why not? The dog is a Labrador Retreiver.

I was thinking about buying a dog to motivate me with my running. But it has to be about medium sized b/c I live in a condo and must be good with kids. Any suggestions on breeds?

I have really wanted to get a Papillon and I just want to see who all has had one and what they think of it. Do they bark a lot? Are they easy to train? Are they easy to potty train? Are they good inside dogs? Also, did you find it cheap or had to pay a lot???
Any help that you can provide will be greatly appreciated.
Thank you, Melissa

I have been learning about Shih Tzus for the last nine months, and I am seriously considering adopting a puppy in February 07. I have found a couple of reputable breeders with litters just born, and the only uncertainty I have is as to how much is fair price. Considering the costs involved at adoption, overpaying at purchase is something I would rather avoid. What are fair prices for limited AKC males/female puppies? How much pricier should an "imperial" puppy be? Besides health, warranty and pedigree, what other considerations are wise to account for? Thanks for your answers!

Whenever my dog feels hungry like we havent fed him in years or something he just decides to jump on the counter and get food. Or sometimes when he cant reach the food he makes my other two cats to knock them off the fridge or something. What should me and my family do to stop my dog from jumping on the counter??!!

Has anyone taken their dog?

What did you like and dislike about the facility and the instructor(s)?

Please share your experiences. (

I'm currently researching training facilities in my area.)

My husband and I have a boxer/lab mix that we got from a shelter. He is approximately a year and a half. He has been through training already and does ok with standard commands, when he's calm. He's just very stubborn at times.

Anyway, here's the deal. There are times when I am home alone with our dog and even if he's calm and being lazy, if I turn my back to go to the restroom, go to another bedroom, do the dishes, etc. he will usually get something off of the dining room table or somewhere else, go under our coffee table and proceed to chew and swallow whatever he has gotten into. We have rawhides, kong balls, ham bones, etc. for him to chew & play with. We crate him when we go to bed at night and when we are out of the house. We walk him about every 4 hrs or so to go to the bathroom because we do not have a fenced in yard. We take him for long walks, short walks, play with him, etc. Nothing we do seems to change anything. Do we have to crate him everytime we go to the bathroom?????

I think she is about 7 months old. We are in week number 3 of the heat. The bleeding has dimished tremendously; she isn't wearing her puppy pads right now (she takes it off anyway; can't say that I blame her on that one). I noticed her nipples getting bigger about a week before she started bleeding.

I would get one JRT first, get her fixed at 6 months and wait until she's at least a year old before getting another female JRT. That's what all of the websites say to do in order to have two JRTs of the same sex. Is this true?

And as long as I take her/them for hour-long walks/runs in the mornings and evenings, would she/they be okay in a large apartment with two cats?

The cats would be about 6 years old (they're used to dogs) by the time I would adopt the first JRT puppy; and one is a tom and the other is female, if that makes a difference.

Also, my mother has JRTs and they always play (sweetly) with her cats. Is this rare, though? I read that the hunting instincts of JRTs sometimes make it difficult to mix JRTs and cats.

What do you think? Any *polite* info will be most appreciated. Thanks.

My dog has had diarrhea for a couple months, he eats good and everything else seems normal except for he has a skunky smell. It all started when the store was out of the Purina DogChow that I usually feed him, I had to buy Purina Kibbles and Chunks, and thats when the diarrhea started. I thought it would get better when I got his normal food back but it still hasnt. Does anyone know something that would help me before I call the vet??

I have brought it to my neighbors attention and they told me I need to be more patient . This has been going on for 3 months and it drives me crazy if the dog is not barking it s crying .They crate him outside and I think this is cruel to animal and annoying to me. My neighbor has also threatened me that she doesn't want this to turn this into war.

What are most of you breeders being charged for an emergency c-section at an emergency clinic now-a-days? A friend of mine needed one on one of her bitches and I was calling around and was getting quoted between $1500-$2500 on a large dog. I had one done on one of my Shepherd bitches about 3 years ago in the middle of the night and the bill was a little over $700. That was with a litter of 11 pups. This ***** was sectioned, but was very ill. I am fostering the 2 live pups from that litter here with my newborn litter. So my girl now has 6 pups she is caring for.
Another question for the breeders is what wormer are you using with your pups? And what vaccine are you using. I use Pyran-50 and Vanguard plus 5.

I have an american bulldog and an old english mastiff they are both 1 years old. The bulldog is a male and the mastiff is a female. She is spade and he is not. My boyfriend wants to get another dog... A Canary Mastiff. Do you think that is to many dogs? Do you think that the older dogs will like the baby? I do have a house and yard. The yard is bigger than the house.

Okay, here are all the details:

My dog ran out of heartguard medication. Because our vets are cheap rip offs, we ordered from 1800petmeds. They told us that they would have to call the vet to confirm it was our dog and the medication. Our vet called us and said that we couldn't confirm the medication because our dog needed to be tested for heartworm. He was in fact tested when we first got him. Also, before the whole thing started, our vet asked if we wanted to do it in the winter or in the spring, just to see if anything had happened. We decided to do it in the spring and told our vet. Our dog IS tested, but the vet said that he couldn't get the medication until he got tested AGAIN, even though we had already decided to do it in the spring at it was in their files.

(more info in the details, please don't ask what the question is)
