i have a 3 year old male rat terrior that pees in the same area of carpet every night. i take him outside right before we go to bed at about 10:30pm, and at 5:30am, i wake up and find he peed again. every night he does this. i have tried to rub his nose in it and tell him "no!", tapping him in the behind area, i have attempted to take him outside at 2 in the morning, but he just runs back in the house without doing his thing. i am tired of cleaning it! it stains and smells and i can never seem to get it all up! how do i train him and what cleans pet messes out of carpet the best?

She started puking yesterday (Saturday) and it was food. Now she only heaves and gets what looks like spit to come up. She is laying around and I haven't seen her eat. I have only had her for a week, (I rescued her form a puppy mill), I have experience with small dogs and I know they nap alot when they are babies. I am very concerned. I was told she has been wormed 3 times and has had 3 vaccines(what kind, I have no clue).I am going to take her to the vet Monday but I would also like a few opinions from people with similar experiences. I am so worried.

she has a big heart and wanted to help out this stray dog that followed her home one day. She took him to a shelter at first, hoping someone would adopt him, but no one did. The shelter called her and said, they were overcrowded and if no one adopted him, that he would be put to sleep in 3 days. 3 days later, still no home for the dog, so my sister, ended up paying fees to get him fixed and shots etc.....and saved his life.....

the only thing is, its just one problem after the next with this dog. The dog is high maintenance and constantly causing more stress for her. For example, the dog, got out one day and ran down the street, she spent hours looking for him, then another time, she noticed him breathing heavy , had to take him to the vet, some other medical problems, its just constantly issues with this dog. that was nice of her to adopt him, so he would have a home, but its kinda backfired on her.... what do you think? what would you do at this point?

I have a 1year old male mini schnauzer and he pees everywhere, I was told by some people that castrating him will reduce that behavior, but I think it´s too drastic.

I am just sick... My 5-year-old chocolate lab - a licensed therapy dog and AKC K9 Good Citizen - killed the toy poodle puppy next door (8-weeks old). He got out and went over to their garage where he knows there's cat food he can munch on. When he entered their garage, he came upon their new puppy who had gotten out as well. I think he probably thought it was a rabbit or cat or toy, but regardless I want to do what ever is the most responsible thing. Advise please?

Ok so my bf just laid some dental floss on our coffee table and our dog decided it would make a nice snack. So I'm just wondering what I should look for in case it doesn't pass. I'll keep an eye out for it but I just want to know what kinda things I should look out for if it goes bad. Also I got her to eat some soft food right after with the idea that it might get mixed up with that and pass a little easier. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!!

Ok, I know this is kind of silly, but it snows a lot here in MN. My pug tends to freez up pretty easy in the snow. I put a little jacket on her and that helps a bit. I can't seem to find a good pair of boots for her. Any that I have bought, fall right off. This would be SO helpful since she has bad joints and the snow/ice is really hard on her. Thanks!

My dog is 5 years old. HE seems to do fine when im home, but when i leave and my mom comes home he starts to pee. Even right in front of her. I let him out plenty of times to go to the bathroom before i leave, and he is only alone for about 2 hours. Im not sure how to get him to stop. Is there a good way to get him to stop peeing in the house. Besides using the rubbing his nose in it and putting out side. cuz thats not working

I like big dogs. I have the energy to take care of them. I likely won't get one until I have a house with a yard, or my boyfriend and I move in with his brother's family. So spare me the "a dog is a lot of responsibility" crap that I know a lot of you guys would probably say. I have a 3 month old pit bull, trust me I know responsibility. But I just can't decide. Do I want a great dane, a mastiff, or a st bernard? They're all 3 great with kids and make great dogs when given proper training, etc. But tell me, which one do I want? And do I want a male or a female or does it matter? And no, I don't want to hear about boxers being great dogs (I live with a boxer and I love him to death) or yappy dogs being wonderful (I live with one and it's a love/hate relationship). I want a big dog. Big dogs are cool and I just really want one when I can afford to take care of one.

I have a 8 month old ridgeback/rottweiler, and a 10 month old rottweiler. Up until today, they always got along great. Now out of no where today they started fighting. We were at the dog park, and they were play fighting, like they always do, and all of a sudden it turned into aggressive serious fighting. I stoped it of course, but now I am worried. Is this normal for this to happen every now and then, or what should I do. I love them both, and will neevr get rid of etiher of them. I just want to make sure they stilllike eachother. BC they have always been best friends, until today.

Do dogs feel wind chill? They don't sweat, and their skin is mostly covered by fur. I have seen dogs in the back pf pickup trucks in 30 degree weather and they didn't seem to be suffering.
