ok this is the situation:

Say you rescued a puppy from a very high kill and overcrowded shelter. they didn't check references or anything.

Then say the puppy was too much for the person who rescued it, even though that person did do alot of puppy researching prior. Say the person was just overwhelmed..

and suddenly an opportunity came up to give the puppy to a perfect home: a veterinarian looking for a puppy at the same time.

so you arrange for her to meet the puppy at a park, no plans on giving the puppy, just to see what happened. The vet falls in love, wants the puppy right then you still overwhelmed agree.

Then your kids are heartbroken and your husband is mad at you even tho you discussed giving the puppy up with them prior to this.

The vet does not want to give puppy back. And you are feeling like a terrible person.What would you do????!!

She's starting making a growling noise when I pick her up or move her away from something she shouldn't be doing... like taking her back down the stair when she wants to go up.
She never does it to my boyfriend. I'm not over soft with her and will tell her off for being naughty.
Any ideas what I'm doing wrong?

The behaviorist I spoke to about my dog suggested that I start working with him on Schutzhund training. I'm trying to find out as much as I can about the training required, organizations, clubs and basically everything related that I can. I most likely would never compete however if it improves his behavior I'm all for it.

I have to change his diet. I want to make it myself but i want to make sure its healthy and balanced. Anyone heard of any good ones? Also he is really itchy(its definately not fleas). I read somewhere this could be linked to kidney trouble. Any advice would be welcome.

hi for months we had fleas, we used frontline and spray from vet

nitemare but we think we got rid of adult fleas as we havent seen any for 3 weeks or more.

trouble is we are not sure whther there are still eggs in the carpets?

we cant tell!

our dog dosent itch as much now.

but how do we tell about the eggs?

how do we get rid of the eggs? cos the sprays say they kill eggs but i dont see how they do as they are cocooned?

what should we do? obvioulsy if we try to bring the eggs out in the carpet (by putting the heatig on etc) we will have to get rid of them

do we wait n see if we see them, scoop them up with the hoover after we put the heating on?

im not buying any more sprays as i spent over £30 pounds on 2 x bottles of spray from vets.

please help?

do you think it sounds like there arent any eggs (as would they not have hatched in the past 3 weeks?)

My dog is shiztu and 5 months since she was born. The problem is she barks whenever I lay in the bed or floor.
Even when she is sleeping, if I lay down in my bed, she takes up and barks at me. Why she hates I lay down?

Hey, i have a 6 month old golden retreiver who's just been diagnosed with severe hip dysplasia. I got him health insurance so i assume there'd be no problems and i'm prepared to pay any ammount which will slow down his bone degeneration.
I'm just posing this question to find out if there has been anyone in similar circumstances with their dogs and if they have gotten operations and if they have been a success.
I guess this is the consequence of buying from a pet shop where i dont know anything about his families history. I love him so much and i'm going to do everything in my power to make this better and i have full confidance that everything will be ok because it's still early days.
I'd really love to hear from people who have had similar circumstances and see how they handled it.
Thanks.

We are putingt a dog door going into our unheated, uninsulated garage+ building walls and a ceiling, big enough to turn around in and tall enough for her to walk. We plan on putting a board on top of the cement so the dog is not exposed to the cold surface, and we will line it w/ straw. We were trying to figure out how to heat it. I looked into various heating elements for dog houses, light bulbs, heated pads and the like. She is still a puppy and is a chewer so I would not trust her w/ anything she could chew. My thought was this... leaving a door made of some sort of fencing/wire that will allow us to clean the house and to easily put her in. Then using one of our space heaters placing it near the door blowing in at her. She is mostly an inside dog but we can not trust her in the house yet alone while we are at work. I only work part time opposite shifts from my husband, she will only need to be in there a few hrs. Winter is coming though and I worry she will be cold. Ideas? is this

My dog just passed away and I am already considering adopting another. I loved my dog that passed away very much, but now my other dog is lonely and I myself am missing that second set of four legs. I don't want anyone to see me adopting a new dog as disrespectful to my dog's memory.

My dog is 2 years old, and she is a pug. All of a sudden she has began to be all mopey, and she walks really slow (she kinda looks tired or dead), ever time I let her out to go outside, she is all slow and wants to stay behind. And also she has a problem with her skin it is all black and sticky, and it smells really gross, I tried to give her a bath but it didn't work, is my dog dieing?

I've owned my dog for about 14 years and she was purchased as an adult dog, so I'm not sure of her exact age. The past couple of years she's really aged. The vet said she had bone spurs on her vertabrae, so we put her on medication and she was doing well. But May of this year she was doing really bad. I came home from out of town and she was walking weird. She was walking with her hip curled to the right. The next day she could barely walk. She kept falling down. The vet said we should probably put her down, but he said we could also put her on medication. We did so and ever since she's had good days and bad. However, she consistently falls down throughout the day and it is evident that her hips are weak. Some days her eyes are emotionless and she never wags her tail. Others, she wags her tail occassionally, but not like she used to. She also has trouble getting in and out of the doggie door and I know she can't hear or see well. She also paces around the house.
