She is great... only 6 months, and we watched her since she's been home on Fri... but its the week now and we can't stay home and watch her all the time... I don't want to use the cone... #1 because she hates it and walks disoriented, and #2 We have a doggy door and she wont be able to go in and out of the house... And ideas?

I have a 4 month old chi, i bought her a tooth brush/tooth paste..and she doesnt like the paste nor the whole process ...and honestly looking at her teeth, they are whiter/cleaner then mine, LOL do i really need to brush them? let me know, also please read this also, tell me what you men think of this......the truth hurts sometimes!
"Men are under some weird bazaar impression that females are totally beautiful and lovely. When in fact. They are NO different then men. They burp. They fart. They stink up the bathroom. They also have smelly feet. Skid marks on their underwear. They are messy and they pick their nose and butts. But more importantly is they bleed every month. NOW please explain to me why men choose to ignore these disgusting habits in females? Because I refuse to believe females our above males. They are no different then us men. They are gross. And there is nothing special about them. Girls like to hide these types of behaviors. And I promise you guys when as soon as you"

I have been feeding my dogs a raw diet for a couple of years. I give them a fish oil capsule daily but am wondering if I should be adding something else. Does anyone have any recipes to share? Thanks.

in my nieghborhood theres been a HUGE amount of lost dog signs and i don't have a dog but i love animals so i hate to see all those pets lost. today i will post up a sign to dog owners to help prevent incidents like this to happen what can i say?
*keep an eye out for your pets
*make sure you have a leash
i can't really think of anything, and i'm also trying find out why so much animals have went missing, i should also add that i live in a town where it's mostly a HUGE university college campus, so students live EVERYWHERE. so whatmight be going on?

i have a medium sized working dog, very sweet and gentle around family, but EXTREMELY aggressive towards strangers. we live in the country, on a ranch. she rarely sees anyone but us, i think that's how she got this way. the dog has her own half-acre pen, strong fencing, with plenty of "Beware of Dog" signs on fence and gates. whenever someone comes over, we also make sure to warn them about her.

even though the dog will be snarling and drooling everywhere ready to rip them to shreds, some people will still try to mess with her when we turn our backs. once a friend of mine thought it was funny to stick his boot under the fence, only to have the dog rip holes in it. he was very angry at ME even though he was clearly warned. several times we've stopped people in the nick of time when they actually reached their hands in the fence.

if someone (someone pretty dumb!) were to get bit by her, could i still get in trouble?

I am a young, working professional that travels a lot and lives in an apartment. As I live alone, there is a possibility that the dog may spend the working day alone. However, when I come home, I am going to want to play with him.

Before I start, it should be known that if I don't feel like I can give the dog a good home, I won't bother.

So I need a dog that can deal with this. My sister used to work with dogs and described Grey Hounds as "60mph couch potatoes" for their fondness for being lazy. Can anyone confirm this? If this is the case, can anyone point me in the direction of a Grey Hound adoption agency? It would be nice to be able to give these dogs a quiet and peaceful retirement after a life of racing.

If the above isn't an option, should I consider doggie day care?

I've lived around dogs my entire life, and not having one is killing me.

P.S Most of my travelling is over the road, so on road trips I would probably be taking him with me.

thanks!

Little Bites, Dog Chow, and Puppy Food

I have a 3 1/2 year old Cocker Spaniel outside, he is eating Dog Chow.
I also have a 4 1/2 year old Jack Russell Terrier inside, he is eating Little Bites.
and we just got a female Jack Russell Terrier puppy last weekend (8 weeks old now) and she is eating Puppy Chow.

I am hoping to consolidate the number of different foods we have to buy... Which should I eliminate? What exactly is the differences between them all? What are the benefits of each for each dog?

Thanks for your help!

I've changed my dry dog food from Pedigree to Sport mix in an effort to get better quality. Since then my dog passes much more stool. Almost twice as much as when i used Pedigree. I thought with a better quality food comes less stool. Can someone please give me some good advise on this.

When I take her to the dog park, she's calm around the other dogs. But if I'm walking her on a leash and she sees another small dog, 2/3 of the time she FLIPS OUT. Barking, straining at the leash. Usually if we're about to pass another dog and I see her tensing up, I'll just pick her up and walk past (but I can feel her little heart beat faster and sometimes hear her growl). Why does this happen?

I have noticed alot of answers in response to pitbull questions where people say "Get a German Shepherd instead they arent so aggressive, better dogs, more docile" Where are these people getting their information from? It has to be mostly the media and heresay, because in my case I base my opinion on lifetime experience.. and my conclusion is the opposite. Don't get me wrong I love all dog breeds and I especially love German Shepherd dogs. However in my experience I would have to say that overall GSD's are far more aggressive, unstable and territorial than any pitbull breed I have ever known. That is not to say I haven't known GSD's who were great well behaved dogs, but overall more of them have been aggressive, particularly to strangers, and other dogs. Yet out of all the pitty breeds I have known not a one of them has been aggressive in any way.. I have known about 20 pitty's, and about 30 GSD's.. out of those dogs, 0 pits and about 20 GSD's were aggressive and bit people and dogs.

We have stray Chihuahua that we obtained through a long story. He is white faced, amber colored body and had brown ears. He also have white paws. He has brown coloring over his eyes and he looks like a little bandit. I just don't think that name suits a little dog, thats for a big dog I think. I saw someone suggested nugget on another one or gomez and they are adorable. Do you have any suggestions?

I have a 8 mos old yellow Lab. What is a good food to feed my growing puppy (presently 36 lbs)? We used to give him Purina and he seemed to like it (and the vet says he is healthy), but someone told me Pedigree was better, well I bought some this morning and he wont touch it-how come? he didnt even try it, is it the smell or something? (I mean a bought a huge bag of the stuff-obviously a big mistake) I even hid his treats in the middle in hopes that he would eat it, he just dug past the food and found the treat and ate it, LOL. How can I get him to eat it/will he not eat it?

My Springer Spaniel has been diagnosed with a torn ACL. He's young, less than 2 years old. My vet said he may heal on his own, but that in a couple of years the pain will come back and it'll be worse. He really recommends having surgery within the next 2 weeks. My mom wants me to forget the surgery and let it heal on its own (my dog lives with her since I got married, so she has to care for him except for vet visits and expenses). My dog stays outdoors and is VERY active. I'm not sure what to do! Any suggestions? Should I do the surgery now, or wait to see if it'll heal and hope it doesn't get worse later on in his life?

Someone in my neighborhood has a full grown German Shepard dog that he keeps in a small crate outside 24/7. The dog has no roof over his head or doghouse to go into when it rains or if the sun is beating down on him. He is never taken out of the crate to run or be played with. His owner even has a large fenced-in yard! The only time i see the owner interacting with his dog is when he is outside yelling at him to stop barking. I feel so bad for this dog and i think this is inhumane. What do you think? I've reported this problem.
