OK so it's summer right, I see dogs walking with these horrible full muzzle style leads around their mouths, I can sort of see why people (lazy in my opinion) use them for training purposes and I feel the strap around the base of the mouth is alright. But dogs need to pant to keep their temp down, how could you be OK with walking your beloved pet around in 90+ degree weather restricting their natural method to cool themselves?

I think people who put their dogs in the back of trucks are the scum of the earth and don't deserve to have a pet. Yesterday I saw it twice, one was speeding down the freeway and it looked like the dog was about to jump. Why can't you put it in the front with you?

Why pay hundreds or sometimes thousands for a pure bred when you could literally save a life for pennies????

Experienced dog owners - any signs that you know of besides bleeding and swelling that a female is coming into heat? Our dachshund is about to be 6 months so we know it should be soon - and we will need to separate her from our other dachshund.

We do not want her to get pregnant with her first cycle but want to wait until the next cycle to have a litter.

Thanks!

Two backyards away from mine, there used to be a nest in one of the trees. We noticed this bird nose diving our dogs for over a month now and called the conservation office to inquire. They told us that as soon as the fledgings were able to fly and take care of themselves, the bird would stop its aggressive behavior. Yesterday we saw it attack yet another crow and this time it repeatedly attacked it on a fence in front of my house, no where near the nest. We're not sure if the crow was fatally wounded or not. This bird is no bigger than a blue jay, but all gray except for white markings at the edge of the wings almost scalloped-like. He has actually pecked at my black lab's tail and made contact. And he has done the same thing with the smaller dogs in the neighborhood. He has attacked squirrels and the list keeps going on. We now have to sit with a water hose when we're in the backyard to prevent him from attacking our 2 rather large dogs. Concrete suggestions welcome.

Are there any healthy alternatives? He usually doesn't seem interested in anything else!

so i've always had a dog, and last year i had to leave my dog at home since i was at school and couldnt bring her. My parents want to keep my dog at home again this year even though my town house allows them. basicallly i was wondering if i should adopt a dog, i was thinking something about a year+, either a lab or shepherd. i'm gone for at most 4 hours at a time and would have a few roomates but my own room. should i get a dog or not?

Okay, here's the deal, I think she's been abandoned, so I took her under my wing and I want to reassure her that I'm not going to be leaving her. How can I do that, without making her think that I am? Oh, and I'd also like to know the breed, I think she's either a rotti or has rottweiler in her.

Took my new dachshund (5 yr old male) that we just adopted like 3 weeks ago to the vet on Saturday for a check up and to look at his skin b/c he kinda had some patches on his side. Vet thinks it may be ring worm and took a culture but I have to wait 3 weeks to find out and it seems it is getting worse now. He licked himself last night and it got all red like he licked it raw. It never looked like that before and I feel bad and want to be able to help him out alittle. Any suggestions?

My dog has been acting older since we got a new puppy - he gets very cranky and pouty and seems stiff and sore. He spends most of the time he used to spend running sleeping, and in the past six months since we've gotten the other dog, his muzzle has gone very white. He's about 8 years old. could the new dog be the reason he's so cranky?

Also - he seems to be angry at us for bringing her in. He's definitely jealous. It's to the point that if she gets something that he doesn't he'll attack her and not let us touch him. I've been very worried about him lately. Is there anything I can do?

I have a dog who is very old he is 14...well he is deaf now, dosen't play anymore, missing some teeth, weak bladder and poops in the house...

He is probably on his last months of living and to think of him not being with me anymore breaks my heart...I just don't know how to handle it...I like having that comfort around me and do I get a new pet right away...is the pain as bad as losing your father or a close relative? I am at the point where I am having nightmares about it :-(

I sound crazy I know

We already have him on a specially formulated low phospherous/ low high protein diet to aid slowing down the progression of the disease. But want to know if any one else with a dog with the same condition has had any luck utilising other treatments etc Also, and I know this is a piece of string question, but how long will a dog live (on average and with care) from being diagnosed as being in the early stages of this disease to death. His illness breaks my heart as he is a great dog, can any body help? Thanks

Hello everybody!

I'm very excited to say I will soon be getting a new puppy (I have a yellow lab right now). I'm a dog groomer, and have lots of experience with dogs and I just love them! I have a general idea of how I can potty train my future puppy, but I'd really like to hear some of your helpful opinions, and what worked best for you.

Thank you so much.
