he i very tired, he can barely bark, he doesnt walk around as much, he immediatly falls asleep, if we arent covering him with a blanket he is shaking a lot.., his nose is very warm, and all he does is sleep, all day. he wont drink water unless we bring him to the water. he usually gets up when there are any visitors at the door but we found him in the main bedroom sleeping when they came. he is very unactive and im worried, i may bring him to the vet in the morning. but what do you think?

My dog has succeeded in confusing me. To start with, when she came into heat and I had hopes on breeding her to my other little male pekingese..the vet said he had a very low sperm count. two months later.. i go to a different vet to find out my little lady is pregnant with at least two puppies (could ONLY be by him)..and is expected to deliver at any date given the pretty heftiness of these little pups. So, it's been five dates since I took her in.. I have been taking her temperature.. It was 100.6 at the vet..went down to 99.5..back up to 100.2... today is was 98.6.. i was certain it was going to happen today, but it shot back up to 100.1. She is acting very docile, (her usual behavior). Her vulva is a tad bit more swollen than it was yesterday.. the puppies aren't moving near as much.. but she really isn't showing any real signs of labor. I thought the temp drop was a dead give away.. WHAT'S GOING ON?? I am so confused. & Due to the holiday..i can't call the vet. Any advice???

I just got a 4 month old puppy and need help naming him and introducing him to my two cats. So far the cats are locked in the bathroom while he adjusts to his new home. And he keeps going outside to bark but I don't know why.

My sister in law has worked at a dog groomer's for many years. She wants to start up her own grooming business closer to her home. However, in all her years of grooming dogs, she has never had to do a "breed-specific" cut. Everyone who has come in has just wanted the dog shaved or cut in a way to make the dog's coat more manageable.

I think that she really should learn how to do these special cuts if she wants to run her own business. Someday, someone will want this type of cut, and she'll have to turn them away otherwise.

Am I right, or is it fine for a groomer to not know how to do these breed-specific cuts?

My male beagle is 1.5 yrs old. He has been neutered and has recently been checked out for a URI (came back negative). He does not seem to be able to hold his urine at night. Frequently I wake up to find large puddles in my bed. I have tried putting him out right before we go to and it dosen't work. I have tried giving him antibiotics in case it is a UTI. He only has trouble during the day when nobody id paying attention to him. Nothing seems to work. I am desperate.

Over the past few years, I've known a lot of dog owners who insist that their dog has food allergies, and some of them go so far as to cook their dog's meals.

I know that many brands of dog food contain not-so-desirable ingredients. But are actually ALLERGIES to these foods really that common?

We have a four year old beagle and have had since he was a puppy. He has been extremely good with people and we have never had a problem with him people wise. However, the past year or so he has started to growl at my brother who is 19 now. Just recently he will go after him for no apparent reason. For example if he walks through the front door he will go after him and try to bite him. Does anyone know why this is happening? My brother hasnt provoked this behavior and we dont know what else to do. My brother is the only person he does this too. He is very sweet with everyone else. How can we correct this? What can we do? I dont want to get rid of him. I am at my wits end beacuse he seems to be getting more violent towards my brother. My brother just the other day had to swart him off with a pole so he wouldnt bite hime. Why is my beagle so violent and defensive towards him all of a sudden?? Please help!!

i have a 2 1/2 year old Rat terrier mix. he still has short hair even though he has a mix im him. we are not sure what mix though. but anywho, i found him pretty skinny, in front of my house in October. i thought he was just shedding because of him being malnutritioned, but i dont think thats the case. he's STILL shedding, and it EVERYWHERE!!!! there is nuthing wrong with him, cause he already went to the vet. is there any way to stop him from shedding so much?? i did go to PetCo and i saw some "stop sheddin" chewable pills for dogs. but is that really safe for him?? is there so sort of food i can give him that would stop this shedding?? SERIOUS ANSWERS ONLY PLEASE!! THANX GOD BLESS♥

He is a year old, and has been this way since he was a puppy. We would like to see what we could do to make him more confident and comfortable with my family.

I had a dog that could jump over an 8 ft brick fence. I want a small dog that can be both inside and outside. My Father is alergic to dogs that shed alot, so something that doesnt shed alot would help.
