It's a German Shepherd/Husky mix, and we live in Virginia. Temperatures around here are between 30 and 40 degrees lately. We want the dog to spend time outside, but is it ok for a dog that young to be outside for any length of time when it's freezing? How long is too long?

Hello, my dog is 4 months old and just recently she started to pee a little bit when I let her out of the bathroom (her sleeping area) to go outside to pee. I've heard that in order to stop this, one way was to stop greeting her with a high pitched "baby voice". I've never done that. I don't talk to my dog that way, i use my normal voice (which isnt high pitched) and all I say is "Come Maggie" in a calm voice.

She is a small dog, and I know shes still young and it happens more commonly in females but it just started happening and im wondering what changed and how to stop it from it continuing until shes 4 years.. lol.



Thanks

There is a big to-do at the moment concerning Pit Bull Terriers, but I'm confused, aren't dogs as good as they're trained?
What makes these so vicious?

we have recently had a dog make it's way on our property. He is a golden retriever, active, eats great and is playful. After only one day at our home (outside), we have decided to keep him. Problem is ~ he had a collar on, and it has begun to embed in his neck. I removed the collar, cleaned it with peroxide, and put some neosporin on the sore. Will it be OK? I also gave him some antibiotics and will continue to do so. I am an animal lover, and will do what it takes to make him better. He is SO friendly. He likes to play fetch, and so good with the kids when they go outside to play with him. I think that he will be OK as long as I keep nursing his wound. He didn't have any tags that would indicate who the previous owner is. Will it be OK with proper care?

I have a 3 month old German Shepherd (we've had him 2 weeks) who is far more interested in chewing/biting, exploring and chasing/pinning down our cat than in anything we have to say. Everything I read says Shepherds just want to please their owners and are easy to train, but he pays no attention to our dissapproval at all. We yell "NO" and he may look but keeps doing what he's doing. Usually he goes in his kennel if he doesn't listen but when he comes out he goes right back to what he was doing. Is there a certain time period until he understands or age he'll settle down? I realize this is the way puppies are at first, I'm just curious.

I had him on Eukanuba but the vet suggested to change it to Merrick Puppy Plate after he got sick. now he seems worse, he has had diarrhea for days and has been throwing up a little bit. Is this normal when changing the food? He is eating it ( seems to love it actually) and drinks water as well. He doesn't behave differently, still playful and sweet..
Anything will help.

I have an old dog who lays down most of the time and can only go for short walks because of arthritis. He doesnt cough when he exerts himself, only when laid down mostly at night. He is not over weight.There is no discharge from his nose and seems healthy apart from that. I dont think it is kennel cough as my other dog doesnt cough.

I have read a few other questions regarding pit bulls and other "dangerous" dogs, and have been shocked by knowing that insurances can make pet decisions for you.
Listen, I do believe that the owner should be responsible for its dogs, but that doesn't mean that you can't have certain breeds. I think the government should limit itself to controlling where these dogs are being kept. These are living beings we are talking about, and we treat them as if they were commodities.
It is almost like insurance companies saying that you can only have two children, one boy and one girl, and if the girl has bad temperament, then she should be destroyed.
I fully understand that some dogs are a little mean, but that's why the owner of such dogs should attend training and obedience classes regularly, until the dog behaviourist is satisfied with the dog.

My 16 year old chihuahua seems to have lost most of her sense of smell, only being able to smell food items if they are within a half inch or so of her nose, would like to know if this is common?

Also, anyone who has suggestions or advice for making her life as good and healthy as possible. She has cataracts on both eyes, has just a small field of blurry vision, and has also lost all her teeth but a few molars, and is hard of hearing.

She seems happy, content, and spends most of her time sleeping burrowed in an electric throw next to me on the couch (I am homebound). Other than the things mentioned above, she has a heart condition, but still gets around well and does not seem in pain. Any helpful advice welcome! she is my sweetie. :)

My 3 year old mastiff/boxer mix can't resist eating the cat's feces, RIGHT out of the litter box! Is there a way to prevent this? I tried putting the litter box up higher, for instance in the cat tree, but it's an eyesore way up there. Is there any special spray to keep my dog away, but keep the cats still going there? Or maybe a special kind of kitty litter! ... That would be nice.

My friend bought a dog that was pregnant and surprised them with a litter of 9 puppies a month later. He wasn't too happy about it, but he managed and sold all the puppies, but one and now I have him. The puppy is a male 5 week old Pitbull/ Bull Terrier mix and I am trying to figure out why he is so small. He weighs about as much as a 20 oz Pepsi and is just about as long as the bottle. Now I have seen plenty of Pitbull puppies, but not even the runt of one of those litters compares to how small this little guy is. So if anyone might have seen puppies from a similar mix, were they also this small or do you think it could be a health problem of some sort?
