I don't need a lecture on how to raise them. I have had plenty of experience with big dogs.

One female pit is about 2 and the other pit is under 1. The lab is about 1. This aggression just started recently as the older pit turned 2. What is the best way to train the 3 to live together peacefully?

Well my lil girl is about 4 months now and weighs about 20 lbs. She is a mix breed (lab/chow/collie?) so I'm not sure how big shes going to get. Anywho i feed her three times a day-the appropriate feeding proportions that are according to her age and weight on the food bag (DRY food)..... in the morning and at night i add one teaspoon of CAN food with a little warm water to her food because she (OBVIOUSLY) prefers it more and she'll eat all of her food- where she doesn't with her plain dry. Is this a bad habit to start or is it ok to keep doing this with her? I mean I'm use to feeding my dogs all dry but adding a little can food helps her eat it better and she will eat all of her food that way.

So what do you think...is it ok to continue this or do you think this is a bad habit to start????

I have an almost 2 year old labradoodle and I would say she is very energetic. We just started to foster another dog and Addie (my dog) will not stop trying to play with our foster (Mojo.) She is constantly trying to play, tug on his ears and french kiss him (she gets her entire tongue in his mouth- yuck!) He sometimes growls to tell her to quit- but she backs up for only a second and then goes back to bothering him again. It is tiring to watch- I feel like a babysitter! Does anyone have any ideas of how to train her to just chill out?

I was wondering if my almost 4 yr old Newfoundland, Saint Bernard mix, Pepper, needs some kind supplement or help for her joints or hips as she gets older. She is VERY active for a BIG dog. She weighs about 120 lbs. She is in perfect condition and has no problems yet. Her parents didn't have problems as far as I know. But I know that most dogs get artheritis as they age especially large breeds and some get hip problems. Pep is almost a senior by extra-large dog standards (Newfies life span is 6 -8 years) and I love her and just want to be comfortable when she get to her golden years. Any advice will help! Thanks!

Long story short, i adopted a dog 4 yrs ago, Bella. A few months ago we adopted a puppy, Zoey. They don't get along at all. I asked before and asked the vet and we ended up spaying Zoey, hoping to help our problem. So far no such luck. Zoey has out grown Bella and jumps on her. My family trys to take Zoey out for a long walk or run as much as we can but she is still so hyper! Zoey is 7 to 7 1/2 months old. Zoey is not the only problem. Bella gets almost jealous when she is around.

I saw some all natural pills at the store that are supposed to calm down your dog or puppy. Should i try them with my dogs? Are they safe? Has anyone ever used them before?

I have a close friend that has recently taken an interest in getting a dog, but she wants an english bulldog which is way out of her price range. Long story short, she found one that is up for adoption but is incontinent. My friend is VERY absent minded and she is very impatient! Despite my explaining that it is a medical problem, she thinks she can house train this pup! I know it doesnt sound like its my business, and maybe it's not, but I just hate to see this dog go to someone that I know wont have the time it will require to be cared for properly. So my question is, what do you think is the remedy for this situation?

Any suggestions help! (Sorry it was so long!)

What breed is my dog?!

I got her almost five years ago, and when I got her, they simply called her a "terrier-poo"....a terrier poodle mix...but didn't tell us what kind of terrier...or give us any details beyond that.

Unfortunately, I did get her from a pet store, because this was before I learned the horrors of puppy mills. I am definitely assuming that they got her from a puppy mill, due to the fact that they couldn't even tell us what kind of dog she was. I feel horrible that I supported puppy mills, even once, but there is nothing I can do about it now, except never support one again.

Anyways...any clue as to what kind of terrier she might be mixed with? Do you think she is even a terrier poodle mix? We have been looking online ever since we got her to try to determine her mix, but we're still not sure!

Why is it that you say adopt to save a pet from death, but never NEVER buy from a pet store or individual? I thought the idea was for all animals to have a chance at a good life. So if you really care about ALL pets,,,then why is it ok to leave a pet in a store to suffer,,but not ok to leave one in a shelter to suffer? I don't understand the prejudice involved here. You say it's to 'not support' BYB's, but by doing it this way, you are actually saying that if a puppy is being sold in a pet store, or someones yard, they do not deserve the same chance at life as other puppies.Ya'll say they are bad quality, but we don't know the quality at all of shelter pups either. Do puppies with a price tag deserve to be refused a good home, simply because of where/how they were born? Just curious as to how you guys feel about this?. If both shelters and byb's pups are pitiful, why does one get your support,,and the other your abandonment?

There have been a few questions lately that have included statistics or comments regarding death rates. Please don't include culling of neonates in your number unless it was for a birth defect.

Thanks for your input... I'd just like an idea if my averages and thoughts on it are way off base.

The friend I am getting the Puggle from is NOT a breeder, her and her friend have a purebred pug and the other a purebred beagle and they mated (not intentional on the owners part) the puppies are almost ready to go. My friend is not selling the pups, she is giving them away to people she knows. I know what is required as far as vaccinations and vet care but am curious as to any special care a puggle may require beyond the standard normal puppy care. Also, I have done research on behavior but as most sites I found were those made my breeders fear they may be biased and not mentioning any negative aspects about this type of dog. As soon as she can my friend is going to get her dog spayed so it wont get preggers again so please no negative comments regarding that.

I want to get my little greyhound something special, what she loves most is food. So, should I get her a steak or something? Don't dogs like raw meat better? And that is ok to give it to them raw?

dogs and doesn't instigate or attack, but when he meets new dogs he always snaps at them and growls when they try to sniff him too long. Is there something I am doing wrong? I usually hold his leash a little bit taught in case they fight so I can pull him off, could that be the problem? He generally settles down if they have a chance to hang out, so am I just reading too far into this? Its pretty funny to watch him sometimes, especially when he meets big working dogs, but I don't want him to get hurt.
Thanks.

Is the canine that you live with a pet, a companion, or an equal family member?

Or, rather, are you really the canine's pet?


There are times when I think she has a better life than I do.

I am starting my dog on a raw diet and I have done a lot of research but I was wondering if anyone out there that feeds this could give me a rough thing of what his weekly meals should include. I have read a big part is that the meal its self is not balanced but the over all diet is. I just want some help figuring out what I should be feeding him and how many times a week. I know fish is only once a week and not to over do it with veggies or grains. But I would like a more detailed outline. I also read that grains and fat/protien should not be fed together because of how the digestion works. Thanks for your help
