my puppy is a mini schnauzer and with her hair cut, she gets pretty cold. Are dog clothes really okay to put on them?

My puppy ate about a cup of cat food will that hurt her or make her throw up?

I have a 5 month old Chihuahua with tons of energy! My little energizer bunny! She is 2 1/2 pounds and according to the vet, very healthy! I have a little collar with a little bell on it. Whenever I put the collar on, leaving 2 fingers in between, she still manages to somehow, hook her lower jaw under the bottom part of the collar and get it jammed to the back of her mouth, trying to get the collar off! I don't want her to injure her jaw or break any teeth! If I make it any tighter, I'm afraid the collar is going to be too tight, and choke her! Anyone have any ideas on how to stop her from doing this or any idea, on what else I can use as a collar with a bell, where she can't hook her jaw underneath it? I am very careful where I'm walking but as added security, I'd also like to hear where she is, at all times! Anyone else had this problem?

She practically does laps from one room to the other (around the table in the living room to my bedroom and around the comupter chair lol)

My sister just adopted a dog from teh animal shelter i work at, and he was VERY abused by his previous owners. If the fridge kicks in, he flinches and runs away. If you make too fast movements, he flinches too.
Do you think with gentle hands and words he will eventually learn to trust again? Or does this depend on the dog?
Any experiences you have, I would really like to hear them, thank you!

She has only done it once, so I'm not too worried. She went outside twice today... peed twice and pooped once, so she didn't throw up because she hasn't gone to the bathroom. She hasn't ate or drank much today (however that's not unusal because she usually eats during the evening) I'm just wondering if there is anything I can do to soothe her stomach, I did an internet search and some people say to give her a treat and others say not to feed her for a few hours. If it happens again I'm going to call the vet, but there's really no use in calling the vet if she only did it once.

The crate is just right for his size, he doesn't eliminate in it. I get up to let him out to pee/poop, but when It's time to put him back and I lay down he wines, cries and chirp barks for A LONG time. I try to ignore him, but it's very hard. My husband says I'm a pushover. After 30min of it I get him out and let him sleep w/ me. Help! I've tried putting some treats leading into his crate, but once I close the door he starts up again. He is in the same room with us and can see us.

this is the first time my dog echo (thats her name) is pregnant and it was planned and i have no experienced in this what so ever anyone. I didnt relized she was pregnate intill the middle of november when she stopped eatting due to morning sickness, we figure out that she must of got pregnant around october 23 2007. My question is where would i feel for the movement of the puppies because i put my hand everywhere that i could on her body to feel the pups but i had no luck, her boobs seem to be big and hard and some people say it look like she has something called milkbags underneath her hangs really low to the floor and is hard like a rock is that where i would feel for the pups or somewhere else and what would i need besides a whelping box for when she is ready to deilver. Oh and she is a akita and german shepherd but she looks more like a akita

I posted a question yesterday that my dog had thrown up a large river rock. He continued to get sick so I took him to the vet and they found another rock in his small intestine and had to do surgery. Besides, getting rid of all the rocks in my yard, do you have any suggestions of how to keep him from eating them? Has anybody used a muzzle while their dogs are outside so they don't get into eating everything? He also likes to naw on the stucco on the side of the house which seems odd. Maybe he's lacking some minerals or vitamins?

Do you know what titles are? Have you ever titled a dog in anything?

Pick a title and give a description of what it takes to earn that title for a dog. There are so many things that can be trained for, like obedience, agility, herding, hunting/tracking, retrieving, earthdog, etc...

If you've personally trained your dog for it, how much training was involved to be ready to trial and earn that title? Months, years? How old was your dog when you earned the first title and what breed?

This is our first time hiring a dog walker and we're not sure what to pay. The person we picked is 15, and is walking 2 dogs before she goes to school in the morning. It's her first job. I don't want to pay too much...or too little. I have no idea! We were thinking $10/hr, but they only need a half hour walk, so that would be $5 a day, 5 days a week...comes out to $100 a month. Is that worth it to a 15 year old?

I was just curious how many shelters are actually still euthanizing animals on a regualr basis.... I know every shelter has to put an animal down from time to time due to health issues or bad temperaments... but I mean the actual shelters that give the dogs 2 weeks and then they are put to sleep.
these are the places people should be adopting from...usually they will turn purebreds over to their breed club rescue for no charge....

What are my chances of saving this poor dog from being killed?
http://lfpress.ca/newsstand/News/Local/2007/12/11/pf-4718925.html
My Husband & I have a 50 acre Ranch where I spend my summer.So the poor dog (that never had a chance) would have endless space to play, inside or outside the Ranch....I would hire someone full time to care for the pooch, While I am absent.I have called the place where he is being held in Quarinteen, With no call back yet...several messages left....What else can I do?...HELP

On the late night news, a German Shepard life was thankfully spared today, after the Judge concluded that the Child provoked the dog to attack, by hitting and kicking the poor thing.
The owners of the dog compensated them financial of course.

Sadly most dogs are always blamed for defending them self.
People murder people and are not bumped-off/euthanized.
But if a dog bites a person, some people are out for blood and get a power trip and want to murder the dog immediately

1. If I like it, it’s mine.
2. If it’s in my mouth, it’s mine.
3. If I can take it from you, it’s mine.
4. If I had it a little while ago, it’s mine.
5. If it’s mine, it must never appear to be yours in any way.
6. If I’m chewing something up, all the pieces are mine.
7. If it just looks like mine, it’s mine.
8. If I saw it first, it’s mine.
9. If you are playing with something and you put it down, it automatically becomes mine.
10. If it’s broken, it’s yours.

She is still crying even with the pain meds we were given. Any suggestions? It is the middle of the night, she is breathing ok, and fairly alert, but cries when she moves certain ways. Very sad.
She is also eating ice pretty well, and has went potty both ways, so all is ok in that area.

The dog is acting like he really wants it, so I think might as well let him have some.

Whats the worst that could happen?

Its not like there is any dog in the food, to the best of my knowledge, its chicken...
