What are some healthy chewing possibilities for a two to three old Chihuaha? She likes chewing on things. So we have some rawhides. She does not get them into pieces but she is just chewing on it.

I got my puppy maggie when I wasnt working 6 months ago, now I'm really bored and I'm going to start working again. She gets very jealous, I dont have kids but she always has to be in between me and my husband whether were on the couch, kisssing and even in the bed, it gets annoying, like having a kid around and no personal time. Well I'm afraid she will be sad when i go back to work, I'm not sure if i should get her a friend, my husband says no! But just when I leave to go to the store or somewhere, you can hear her in the house from outside barking and whining, please help me make my desicion! Thanks Yall!

I have a 5 lbs Yorkie who suffers from Weed allergies. I've been giving him Benadryl for Kids (12.5 mg) twice a day (1/2 pill per dose) for the past 5 days. How long should I keep giving him the medecine. I tried giving him only one dose yesterday, but he was almost chewing off his front leg from scratching and knawing at it.

I removed my puppies cast today, ( my vet can`t take him in until tomorrow). Can I pit a little polysporin on his pressure sore. I`m glad I took his cast off, the vet was glad I did too. I removed it because he was wimpering.But could I put a little antibiotic cream on it???

I have read many bio-friendly ways of controlling fleas outside. Is there any bio-friendly way to kill and repell fleas that are already in my home? I have heard of herbs and ultrasonic flea repellents. Neither have been proven to work.

Can you help!?

I have seen many questions on training dogs in here, and the advice runs from on end of the spectrum to the other.

So, my question is: Is there ONE method of training that works for every dog?

My puppy has thrown up 4 times in 3 days already. What could be wrong with him. He seems just fine. He is eating and running around playing. His gums are pink and his nose is wet. The only thing is that he is a little warm. Should I be concern?

I only went to three shelters, but I never saw any labs there. The dogs were mostly pit bulls, german shepherd/mixes, beagles. I guess no pure lab would be in a shelter but I saw no mixes either. Are there labs that need rescuing, how do you find them if there are? Or do they just get adopted right away by someone?

I have a 2 year old male and a 2 year old female BOTH fixed. I have a 6 month old who already has her appointment scheduled to be spayed in less than 2 weeks. Unfortunately for me, she just started to come in heat. My other guys were adopted and were both fixed at 3 months but my vet said its safer for 6 months so she is scheduled. my male has NEVER sprayed and since my female 6 month year old has been in heat the past 2 days I found pee stains in 2 spots so far and I seperated her to a laundry room. How long will she spray for during her heat cycle? thanks!

My red heeler is about a year and 3 months old. He does some weird stuff, but the strangest is his new habit of chewing on his feet. It's more like his ankles. He'll lay on the floor and chew on himself like he does with his other toys. He doesn't draw blood and has never yelped. Is there a reason for this?

I have been told that it is not a good idea to crate your puppy for long periods during the day because of bladder control. What is the best method for housetraining a toy breed? I am currently using a pen with room for papers so he can "go" if he needs to but I am not sure if he will be able to learn how to go outside. Is there anyone else out there who is gone during the day and has had success training their pup?

We have a 117lb Rott/Lab mix and he's already jumped a 4 ft chain-link fence. We were going to try an electric fence but have been told that, due to the thick muscles around his neck, he will not feel the shock. Is this true? We prefer not to use a privacy fence since we are surrounded by beautiful hills and trees. We can spend up to $5,000. Thanks for your help.

do you agree that stray dogs are more healthy that the dogs kept in the house and being pampered?
