I have a mini german schnauzer (22 pounds). I'm afraid to cut them too short. Is there a good way to tell? Thanks for your help!

Mine only like the cheap stuff and I worry whether they're getting the proper nutrition. And if I give them something they don't like, they just ignore it and eat cat food.

My puppy (four monthes) just had surgery done for her eye. She has prolapse of the gland of the third eyelid, or cherry eye. It's when the third eyelid pops out. Anyways, I paid a little over 500$ for the surgery and her getting spaded. They said if we didn't do the surgeries together, the cherry eye alone would have costed over 600$. Anyways, the cherry eye surgury is just tucking the eyelid back down, and stitching it down. They put a cone on her neck and such for scratching. So we've had her back for three days, and last night her stitches came out, and her eye is WORSE. It doesn't seem like it hurts her, but it looks like it effects her vision. I'm taking her back tomorrow, just to see if they'd do the surgery for free or something. I'm only 15 and I take full responcibility for my puppy, and all her expencesses (sp). Should they do the surgury for free? Before they came out, it was obvious something was wrong with the eye, it was droopy,like if you were to pull it down.

I don't know if its a hacking cough, but it seems like he has fuzz from those doggie tennis balls that he plays with, and this has been going on for a few years now. Is there a way to stop this from happening without taking him to the vet because we don't have much money in the budget to take him, for ex: some medicine that we can give him that the vet will probably just give him, or do they have something that can take care if it that most places do not. It may be kennel cough, but i don't know since i don't know what kennel cough is. Also this has been happening off and on over the years. Sometimes it seems like he's about to throw up, but i think he just swallows it back down, not certain though, it could just be a little liquid. By the way, are tennis balls ok to use to play with the dog. Also to let you know, he's a little dog, maybe a shitpoo, not certain of the breed since my sister got him from the pound.

My basset is 3 years old and I have been working with her since puppyhood. She is very obedient but just always seems to mess up at competitions. Her biggest problems are the nose (of course) and a short attention span. Has anyone else successfully trialled a Basset? What hints and tips can you give?

Like the commercial milk we use for cereals? Because my dog likes it so I wonder if I could place it on his regular diet.

with the recent pet food poisoning, almost everyboy who owns pets have become aware of what constitutes their pet's dry or wet commercially prepared food, almost everybody who cares for their pets are having complete access to the contents what goes into them through so many web sites, news , media etc, i want to know who doesnt understand their pet 's dry food doesnt contain "meal", offal, dead waste animal products etc etc? most of the "good" brands such as nestle, purina, pedigree, etc use the same ingredients, how come when everyone knows such trash constitutes the pet's meals, they still keep recommending commercially prepared food as"wholesome, balanced" and better than homemade? i agree, home cooked needs to be supplemented with vitamins, but puhhlease, would you still reccomend trash as "the proper diet"?

Hi!
I use to have a rottweiler, and the vet at that time told me to give him calcium and vitamins everyday, but I can't remember the brands...I have a three months old black lab now, that I got a couple of days ago (his name is Romeo, and he is way too adorable!)
And what do you think of giving him a raw egg with his dry food?
(Even if you are not a vet, please give me your advice, I'll appreciate it)
Thanks!

I want to buy a dog but have never owned one before, but I've got a new job where I will work from home so will be able to look after it during the day and take it for exercise. I love border collies but I think they are very intelligent and need a lot of stimulation which may not be good for someone without previous experience of dogs. so what is the best dog to get, that is fairly easy to train and won't need excessive attention beyond the usual 2 or 3 walks a day? And is there a good easy guide to training a dog, for a first time owner?

My neighbor's Puggle dog, one year old, died in his sleep this week. The autopsy showed he had a heart attack based on a defective heart valve, not suspected. I am so sad. He was such a happy exuberant little guy. Is this common in puggles or in dogs in general? (a puggle is a pug/beagle mix)

I know it's a dog. I know it must be part Labradore? But what is the doodle part from? If it's a poodle, wonder why they didn't call it a LabraPoodle?
