It occurred to me, that people don't want a bunch of laws shoved down their throat, or to be told what to do.
I was thinking, what if we made it easy. ALL dogs must be microchipped. It's a law as serious as A Rabies shot, It's MANDATORY. Then we can see who is breeding all these dogs that end up in the shelter. We can return dogs to those breeding them, and clean up the shelters. Everyone gets their dog back, whether you want it back or not. The dog is your responsibility, you will get your dog back and you will have to deal with your responsibility properly.
A/C can check to make sure that the dogs are returned and dealt with properly. We will know what they do with them (dump them, shelter etc) as we will have the chips in the dogs to know where they came from.

Will it work to make it Mandatory to microchip ALL dogs ??

I don't think ANYONE wants there dog to end up here?

Her left leg is definately broke, the vet is closed until tomorrow morning. She's probably going to need pins in her leg and I was just wondering about how much it would cost??? We live in the country and she's an outside dog, but for now she's in a heated shed with plenty of food and water available to her. We live in MN so the winter's get pretty cold. Can anyone help me with what I should do for her until tomorrow and tell me the price of how much the pins will cost???

How can I tell the diference between whether my dogs are fighting or just playing rough? I have a 9 week old austrailian shephard and a yr and a half yr old boston terrier. They chase each other around and jump on toup of each other and growl and show teeth and bark but ive never seen them really bite each other besides just a nip. Also the puppy constantly keeps coming back at the bostont errier nipping at his face and the terrier growls and barks and nips the puppy but never bites hard. What are some ways to tell the difference?

My dog is 13 years old. The past few days she has decided not to eat anything, but she keeps throwing up dark brown (nearly) black liquid, the consitancy of really runny diarrhea. She's also become very inactive and sleepy. I try to force liquids down her throat, but she simply throws that up... alone with more of the black. Could these be symptoms of dying from old age/her organs shutting down?

Dogs bark and lunge at me wherever I go! It happens all the time. Even with dogs who never bite and who "like everybody." The same thing happens to my dad. Do you have any idea why this may be happeneing and what I can do to help myself? Any answer you could supply would help!

How long do you think it will take, before people who *think* they have a ' Designer breed ' will realize that they have been scammed ?

How long til they realize that they bought a mixed breed dog that can't be registered or anything at all, and yet, they paid FULL PUREBRED price for this mixed breed dog?
Will it be soon do you think?

My dog the past week or two has been acting not like herself. Really lethargic, and shes usually happy, bouncy, playful etc. The night before last night, she puked like twice, then she kept puking all day yesterday, and wouldnt eat anything not even chicken or hamburger and that is not like her at all. So we took her to the emergency animal clinic last night and they did tests and blood work, it came back with VERY high levels of some kind of chemical the kidney produces during kidney failure or something like that. They said they dont know if it is acute or chronic she may have just gotten into something and it could be flushed out but they werent really leaning towards that.

Shes only 8 years old and such a happy and wonderful dog..shepard huskie mix. We love her to death.

How long can a dog live with chronic kidney failure?

My newborn puppy has been hand fed since yesterday with a formala but it hasn't pooped at all. I know it's weird but I'm just worried. She has peed and that's it. Is there a problem?

I was wondering what some good dog training books are. We are taking the puppy to dog training classes, but I like to read about the stuff that I'm doing to get an idea of different approaches and perspectives.

Also, we have a fenced in backyard, but I'm not sure how long it is ok to let the dogs play outside. One is a Tibetan Spanial (very small, 10lbs) and our puppy is a newf/saint mix, but a puppy none the less! I know the spanial won't stay out long when it's cold, but the puppy loves it but I don't want him to get too cold or any thing like that. Also, is it ok to have them unsupervised provided that they are contained?

He's 3 1/2 mos. old. There are actually 2 puppies. They're brothers and they're passing the illness back and forth. They lose alot of weight because they won't eat. The antibiotics & pedialyte seem to work for a while. But, I don't know what else to do for them.

Okay so I have a dog that does not have fleas, I've checked, checked and double checked. Here's the catch, I just moved to a new apartment but I still have another week paid up on the old one. I went into the old one this morning to grab a few more things and I realized the place is infested with fleas! They must have come from outside while we were moving or from a neighbors apartment. I haven't seen a single flea in the new place so the infestation must have taken root after we'd moved most of everything. I still have things to move into the new place, clothes, blankets, paperwork, a chair. How do I keep these nasty fleas from infesting my new place as well and how do I kill them before my lease is up?
