So my family has all had big dogs in the past and I wanted a change and have always wanted a chihuahua. Well my dad and I were driving on the road and we saw a mixed chihuahua get thrown out of a car. We picked it up and my dad said we could keep her, but she would have to stay outside. So my mom, who hates animals, agrees if we keep her she stays outside. Winter is coming up and a 10 pound dog will not survive the harsh winter of Oklahoma. Is there any suggestion on what I can do to keep her warm enough to survive without letting her come inside?

My boyfriends dog had a litter of 8 a month ago and we've noticed recently that they've got fleas crawling around their fur. I've given them a bath and seemed to get rid of them, but the mommy keeps bringing them back during feeding. Is there any sort of flea killer that isn't harmful to puppies that young???

Getting a new pup this week... he's a lil Yorkie, and the smallest of the litter. Should we name him Dexter, which is cute, and he could be Dex for short, or should we name him Rudy, which is after the character in the football movie from the early 90's (because he's small and energetic)?

Ive contacted three different breeders and one wont respond, I guess because I asked for a price? (these dogs arent cheap, I think I have a right to know how much I'll be spending) and the other two breeders asked for different prices. 2 breeders show their dogs, one does not.

And Im in New York, if that even matters.

And Im not going to the shelter this time around, I already own two rescue doggies. I would like a full pure bred labrador.

Is there a video or book that shows how to cut their hair short at home so I don't have to pay to take her to the groomer all the time?

He is 7months old and had his op 2 days ago. He is recovering fine but every now and again he really looks like he still has testes. The sac is empty but a bit further forwards he keeps getting definate testicle looking shapes!! Is this normal swelling or is the guilt making me insane???

a dog? I know to be prepared financially for any emergencies or illnesses but what is the cost per year for good care with dog not having illness or emergencies?
I'm thinking of adopting a 3 yo shih tzu mix and I know there will be grooming fees at leat every 8-10 weeks with me doing bathing inbetween. I know of food, bedding and maybe vitamin tablets and of course collars and leashes. Yearly shots and the every three year rabies and the monthly heartworm chewables.
What would be a reasonable estimate of cost of care -without illness or emergenicies per year? I'm not rich but not poor and I can't go into this blind as far as the money it will take and I won't get any dog -or any pet for that matter - if I can't afford to care for it the right way.
He is already neutered so that's a bonus.

Hi, thanks for all your helpful responses to my earlier question. My baby seems a lot brighter this morning, he's been to the toilet and eaten and is now sleeping. Wound still looks red, but looks clean and doesn't look infected. He still yelps a little when he walks though. Called vetline for advice and they said to bring him to the vet tomorrow so I;m going to do that. He's sleeping a lot and i'm still worried, anyone else with experience of neutering a 7 month old? like I said earlier he's a bichon, and he is a baby, he doesn't have a high pain threshold at all, he screams at the dog groomers, so it's difficult to tell!

have 4 cats (including 16 week kitten) and a 9 week puppy. I put cat food in an ice cream container in one room and puppy's food in a low bowl in another room with her pen. Occasionally the cats eat her food but rarely as it's in her pen and is 'no go' zone. However recently my puppy (shih tzu) has become big enough to get her head in the ice cream container and eat some cat food. What should i do???

I was talking to a bunch of people at the dog park today and it seems like everyone thinks they have the best dog in the world. They all agree that most people get one... maybe two super special dogs in their life that they really connect to and understand. Have you ever had that special pal? What makes them special? Is it a certain breed or sex? Is it a rescue or a thousand dollar designer dog? Was it love at first sight or a dog that grew on you as you got to know it? Was your dog easy to train or stubborn? Does your dog do a specific job for you (e.g. herding, service dog, therapy) or is it the unconditional love?

Serious answers from dog lovers only please. More details the better. I am studying anthropology and I am really interested in canine/human dynamic. Thanks in advance for your answers.

What is the average age a dog will get heart worm??? I have a 2 yr old dog that is very HYPER and happy but he has a cough that sounds like a cat with a fur ball. He went to the vet last weekend to get kennel cough treatment( 2 injections and antibiotics) but he is still coughing. He had his heart worm tablets 3 months ago and is due to get more but should i give him the tablets if he might possibly have heart worm...Please dont say go to the vet as atm i cant afford it and was wondering if i can give the heart worm treatment now and he wont die of a heart attack if he actually has heartworm. I dont think he does because at the moment he is very active like normal and he only has a cough that occurs about once every two days so its not often he has it. He only recently got this cough and do you think that this might be because of the change in season ( its spring in australia ) thanks !!! will deffinetly choose best helpful and not rude answer!!!

i have a pit/husky mix and he has a MAJOR hot spot on his back. it's to the point where he's pretty much bald. he even chews on his tail to the point it sometimes bleeds. i've had a lot of people tell me that putting burnt motor oil on his back where he chews will help his hair come back and it may help his skin. but does it really help?
