I have a very old dog .He had several strokes. I will have to have him put to sleep. I have to move and can't take him with me. I need a vet to euthanize him at a small cost. I would also like to put his ashes in a urn. I live in Portland, OREGON.

I saw this answer on another dog thread, it was rated "Best Answer". The whole paragraph...
"If he likes to chew, go and buy him a raw cow's hoof, knuckle, or a raw turkey neck. This will give him the chew satisfaction as well as a nutritional supplement. "

I would add pressed rawhide, especially for small pups; they can rip pieces of regular rawhide and choke.

But the "raw turkey neck" I had never heard of. Is that really true, if so, would frozen be ok? Better? I know chicken bones are not good because they can splinter.

I love to give my dog natural treats like hard boiled eggs, but a natural chew toy sound too good to be true!

My dog is 1 yr old, we've had her for 3 months now. She is a german shepard mix, and listens...... relatively well. *it's getting better* We're just having a hard time breaking her of the habit of jumping on people as they come in the house. We've been trying redirection, where you tell her to lay down as you answer the door, and if she runs to the person you stand in front of that person coming in, and redirect the dog to go lay down, and keep redirecting her until she does, then she gets a treat. This whole process with her takes about --- ooo --- 10 minutes. Does anyone else have any other ideas or something that worked for them?

My dog, for some reason unknown, constantly licks the floor. Will it hurt her if I mop and she licks the floor? I would wait till after the floor dried to let her back in the house, so will the cleaner hurt her if it's dry?

I rescued an abandoned wolfdog over 2 years ago. Since I've had him he jumped of a second story deck and broke his leg. When the vet put him to sleep he howled and freaked the vet out. Although I had told him before that I suspected him to have wolf in him. He just thought I was crazy. After the howl the vet didn't want to treat him anymore. I have a new vet and they say he is a great dog and that I do well with him. Just wanting to hear other reports about these beautiful animals.

My girlfriend and I have a 2 yo Border Collie. About 3 months ago, we switched foods. We went from feeding her the Maxxium Nutrition brand food which was lamb flavored, to feeding her the Authority Harvest Baked lamb flavored food. After the switch, our dog went crazy over the food!!! She devoured each bite every time we fed her. The new food gave a great boost in energy and she looked much more healthy overall as well. Well, the bag was running low so we went and bought some more. Suddenly she stopped eating. We discovered that she had a tapeworm at the end of last week. Since she was due for her yearly shots and since she needed to be fixed anyway, we took her to the vet yesterday. We took a bag of food to the vet. I picked her today, and after getting her in the car, I went back to talk with one of her caregivers. I asked how she ate, and the lady said she had fed her the wrong food but that she loved the stuff but wouldn't eat her own food when it was given to her. What gives?!?

I just purchased a shih tzu puppy from a local pet shop,he had blood in his stool which I noticed right away. I called the pet shop and they said its normal from deworming...however the vet said to bring him in and it was giardia. I am very concerned, should i return the puppy before my 14 days is over...I am very much attached and so is my 12 year old son. Help?

We have a puggle that is about 30 pounds. He is about a year old and he's pretty energetic. This weekend we're going to get a puppy, a pom-chihuahua mix, that is positively tiny. We are told she will never get over 5 pounds.

Will our puggle hurt the new doggy? Obviously there is going to be a period of experimentation and investigation, but will he eventually learn to play safely with the new dog, or at least leave her alone? We can very easily keep them apart if it starts to be a problem, but ideally they would play together or at least be able to play in the same area with only cursory supervision.

Are there any tips to get two dogs to get along? I'm afraid with as small as the pom-chi is going to be, it would only take one aggressive moment and that would be the end of her.

I give my dog half a can of wet food in the morning and the other half at night. She always has dry food out but wont eat it. I have tried to mix the wet and dry food but she picks out the wet food and leaves the dry. I got her about 2 years ago and when i did she had parasites. I was given medicine for her but was told that she went so long without treatment she eould always have problems. Anyway, she has been checked for worms and what not and doesn't have anything like that. She is very skinny though. She is a basset hound and weighs only 32 pounds which is pretty skinny for her breed. her vet doesnt seem concerned, but she looks awful which worries me. Any suggestions on how to get her to gain some weight?

My corgi was spayed a week ago, and she's developing an infection at the site. The vet put her on antibiotics and gave her one of those big collars to wear so she'd stop licking at it. But when she wears the collar she literally will not move. She will just stand in the same place for hours, not even moving for food. Needless to say, I want to keep the collar off her as much as possible. So is there anything else I can do to help in her recovery? I'm hoping there's something topical I can treat her wound with daily to help speed up the healing process.

A dog's owner has been apparently living elsewhere for two weeks now. He comes home twice a week for approx. 10 minutes each time to feed and water the dog and then leave again. The dog is tied up by himself at all times. He does have a doghouse for shelter. We have talked to the authorities but legally there is nothing we can do because the dog has food, water, and shelter. Owner thinks he is doing nothing wrong. I can not just go take the dog, because of my profession I could lose my job over something like that on my record. Anybody have ANY ideas on anything else that I can do? Thankfully other people are working on getting this resolved, too, but it has to be taken care of in a legal manner and we are at a loss as to where to go from here. This is happening on a farm, not in a town, if that helps.
