Is your dog aloof with strangers or friendly?
Will s/he obey commands from strangers (basic ones, like sit or shake)?
What breed, age, and gender is your dog (dogs)?
Did you encourage or train this behavior?
Was this an important thing to consider when you looked into this particular breed or dog?

My dog is a Shih Tzu, and he has had a history of fleas. I get rid of the fleas, and then somehow, they keep coming back. We also have two inside cats. Would they be a problem?

My new puppy (a bijon friese) seems to always have poop stuck on the back of her butt. Since her little butt comes in contact with the carpet, furniture, etc. it seems like there's prpbably little poop smears all over the house. When I bathed her today it was really hard to get off as it was stuck to her fur. Does anyone have any tricks as to how to keep this area clean. Am I supposed to clean her butt each time she poops? Sorry to ask a dumb question - this is my first dog ever!

He was recently diagnosed with kidney desease and we are trying Hill kd, but has now begun to refuse the food although he is hungry. We have two other young dogs and he wants their food which he was eating before. What can I mix with the kd that will help the taste and still be good for him?

compared to what food? they say it adds years to your dog's life. What are they comparing dog chow to? maggot infested chicken toes or something?

My Jack Russell Terrier has recently began to itch badly. I use on a monthly basis one of the top products available, also, recommended by my veteranarian, to kill fleas and ticks. However, I have gotten off of him a few fleas, and ticks, two including two deeply embedded in the past week. I know the product (suppose to) kill them within so many hours, but would like to find a way to repel them from getting on him in the first place. I know feeding a little piece of garlic in food has been one option around for years, but would like to ask if anyone has any other ideas. I know through the years I've heard of some other ideas, but can't recall them. I have had no problem since I got him a year and a half ago, until now. Help! He's scratching so bad. Have also, bathed him in anti-itch shampoo. Am guessing, he might also be allergic to fleas since it's so bad, and have found so few actually on him. Am, also planning on treating my yard next week, and am aware to keep him off of it.

I already posted this but got not even one good response.

I live in Rhode Island and I want to buy a Beagle. How much is the average price for a Beagle if you want to buy/adopt it from a breeder? Last time I asked this almost every person said $50. I'm looking for more realistic answers.

My dog, CocoaLatte is a fat chocolate lab. My family loves her so much, but she is fat because she begs (in her own way) for food. She barks at my mom - particulary when my mom is on a work phone call, she's most vulnerable then - so she is forced to give her a bone. Now, her being 6 in human years and 42 in doggy years, I am concerned about her health. Advise?

I have a pure bred dog that wasn't suppose to be fertile. I was planning on getting her spayed a couple of months ago but kept putting it off because the vet said she likely couldn't get pregnant anymore. I've had her for 2 years and she has been in heat 3 times around my male of the same breed but hasn't become pregnant until now. She has had 2 litters of puppies in the past before i got her. She is 6 years old. I didn't bother writing down the date when she came into heat last time thinking she couldn't get pregnant. I never saw them tie either. I realized she was getting fat 2 weeks ago. I took her to the vet the next day and she had an ultrasound and had gained 3 lbs. The Vet guessed she was about 30 days along. So i'm guessing her delivery date is Dec.10. But today i noticed she's beginning to lactate.

I recently got my friends mastiff pup. The last one that survived. The mother killed the other 3. No, the mom normally does not have a mean bone in her body. (we both don't know why this happened) Anyways, she gave him to me because she was afraid mama might try to kill this one too. I started him on milk supplement mixed with all natural no byproduct, chemical, etc... nutro puppy food. I feed him 4 times a day now I make the milk and warm it up and then in a blender mix the puppy food to about oatmeal consistency with the milk. Does this sound about right???

I don't know whether it's true or not but I heard that when a Long hair chihuahua poops, sometimes the poop gets stuck on their hair near the anus and requires the owner to clean it.

I hope it doesn't happen frequently because I'm not interested in doing that :/

My dog Molly is a medium sized beagle mix that was diagnosed with an autoimmune disease a couple years back. She is currently taking Prednisone and has gained quite a bit of weight. She has a beagle body with skinny damatian legs. Her weight gain has put a strain on her legs and she recently tore her ACL. The vet told us that surgery was the only fix, but that they wouldn't be able to perform surgery because of her autoimmune. The vet said that it could cause the disease to come back again. Right now i am not taking her on walks and trying to keep her from moving her leg as much as i can.
I feel really bad for Molly and want to make her as comfortable as possible. Is there anything I can do to heal her ACL without surgery or just make her more comfortable? Will she get worse like this? I love this dog a lot and any information would be very helpful!
Thank you

I'm getting a new black lab puppy, and I want to name him Honkey. Wondering if this is inappropriate. I am a white fella, so I'm only marginally apprehensive about yelling, "Let's go, Honkey!" or "Honkey, come!" or "Bad Honkey!!" I consider it more appropriate than my fist choice, Cracker, but curious to hear your opinions about a black lab named Honkey.
