In the past my pets have had flees but nothing serious. This summer howvever is different. For the first time my house is infested. The carpets the garage and all over. I've bathed the dogs w/ flea killer, used flea collars, and carpet powders, and iv'e sprinkled salt before I vacum. I've even washed all types of clothes and fabrics in my house with hot water but the fleas seem to be invincible. I think it's because I live near a horse community and my neighbors have farm animals. Please, does anybody have any advise for my situation.I'll take any drastic advice.

We have a 3 1/2 mth old puppy who has started to chew on the power cords under my desk. In the past 2 nights she has chewed through the power cord for my VoIP phone, my mobile charger and the charger for my laptop. We bought a "stop chew" spray that does taste bitter (I tested) however when we sprayed it on a peg and gave it to her she the taste didn't seem to bother her. She has plenty of chew toys and other things to chew on.

Does anyone have any suggestions on what we can spray/wipe on the cables that might deter her from chewing on them?

You wouldn't consider this to be a backyard horrible breeder would you?

-Cares for each puppy as own
-Does not show.
-Has the dogs inspected by vet and checked.
-Does NOt NOT NOT breed for money.
-Checks up on the puppies every month after they leave and make sure that if the new owners cannot keep the pup it returns straight back.
-Has healthy dogs and pups
-Only breeds their female once every two years.
-Takes the pups to the vet for check ups or if they become ill.
-Helps the female deliver pups if needed.

Also nothing to do with breeding but shows they understand what happens to pound dogs.
-Volunteers at the local shelters.
-Donates and raises money for the shelters.

Would you consider that to be a horrible self centered backyard breeder?

For all of those that think mandatory spay and neuter laws should be put into effect like the one in California, where do you suppose we will get dogs from? Considering that puppymills and commercial breeders move dogs at a much higher rate then the enthusiast that breed for the betterment and love of the breed, I guess that is where all future dogs will come from. What do you think??

the puppies privates, which worked great, (thank-you) but I need to know if I keep cleaning them and how often? The mother is feeding them now but doesn't seem to want to lick them.

Hi - I have a 120 lb Bull Mastiff that has food allergies. She is allergic to: Eggs, Fish Mix, Wheat, White Potato, Poultry Mix, Flax, and Rice. I have been checking online for the past few days for any dog food out there that does not contain these ingredients and I haven't found anything. I was wondering if anyone has any recomendations? Thanks in advance for any help! I would really appreciate it.

My boyfriends parents have a 6 year old Pom. with just absolutly terrbile breath. The problem with these dog treats ment for breath is that he (the dog) doesnt like them. This dog doesnt like any kind of hard treats, only soft like beggin' strips, things on that line. I know that with dogs, even chewing on rawhide helps a little bit, but he doesnt like those kind of things. Any ideas??

Everytime I walk my dog, he stops on every tree/post/bush to pee. Sometime I tell him "NO" and he doesn't do it but a lot of time he does it.

Our previous dogs have been named after alcohol, Bud, and Brandy. And my husband wants this one named after alcohol too.
The puppy we are going to get was conceived on St. Patrick's Day, so the man giving us the puppy wants the name to be Irish. The puppy is a girl.

I'm getting a Bull Terrier some time this year and I don't know if I should get a white one or a tri-colored one.
I need to buy the one that looks the most protective and tough.
If you think the white one looks tougher then say white (and tell me WHY!)
If you think the tri one loooks meaner just say tri (and tell me why!) thanks!

WHITE! http://petcaretips.net/bull_terrier.jpg

TRI-COLORED! http://news.nationalgeographic.com/news/2006/02/images/060215_westminster_big.jpg



THANKS AND GOD BLESS!

my little 8 mo. old male maltese shows signs of intelligence...he brings every toy he has into whatever room i'm working in and lays there a plays with his toys (i think that's pretty cute and smart). however, he seems extremely dense about aspects of training such as coming, "no," and other commands. i reward him with little treats consistently for all favorable behaviors, but have never had a dog so frustratingly difficult to train! i've owned a lot of other small and large dogs in my life. i know how to train, using reinforcement, etc. any feedback on the intelligence level of this breed? i've read the "trainability is the #1 test of intelligence." if that's the case, he's mentally challenged, but he has these other "smart" traits. what do you think (maltese breeders and trainers would be appreciated for comments).

I am fostering a dog who came down with kennel cough, and now my dog has it as well. They will be finished with the 7 days of antibiodics this Thursday. Will they still be contagious then?

My dog starts his intermediate training class this Thursday, and I don't know if i should bring him or not. He came down with this last Thursday.

Hello all- I am moving in a few months and am agonizing over whether or not I should take my dog with me. I currently live in a house with a nice backyard and my dog is used to being able to go in and out as much as she wants. When I move I will be living in a one bedroom apartment. I will probably be gone up to 10 hours straight each day. I am just wondering if this will stress my dog out since she is used to being outside. My family has offered to let her live with them until I can either find a house to rent or buy a home. She loves my brother and sister and I know they would take care of her but I'll miss her a lot! Any thoughts would be appreciated!
