Dogs - December 2007

I am strongly pro neuter/spay. I understand the resons to do this. But why does it make them live longer or is this a myth?

Some dogs do just fine on pedigree or Purina or even kibbles and bits. My dogs even eat those except for my lab mix he can't eat those except purina and the grain free cause it will give him the runs.

Im not gonna tell you that their not good but there are better its just that some people really can't afford the price of a rain free bag like me.

I don't need you elling me that I should be feeding grain free because I have heard it before.

I have fed them it too just not all the time because its expensive.

Interested in buying a boxer puppy but have been told to always try to buy from the first litter. For some reason, the first litter seem to be better pups than the following litters that the mother may have. why is that? also have checked around and found prices ranging from $400 to $1800. Some of these dogs aren't even show dogs, so what drives the price so freaking high. Last but not least, does anyone know where I might be able to get a nice boxer fawn from at a reasonable price?

We have two new puppies that are close in age (3 days apart), a pekingese and a pug. They are both 12 weeks old. We want to buy something natural (not toxic flea products) that will easily remove the fleas and keep the fleas away. We know they have fleas because we have a flea comb and found them on both of them. The puppies didn't come from the same place and they got the fleas from our home because our older pekingese (16 years) that passed away had them constantly and no matter what we used, they never disappeared. And we know to wash every linen, bed, carpet, that the fleas could be in.
We are just looking for a safe natural way to get rid of the fleas before our puppies destroy their body by biting and scratching themselves.

I am considering switching my dogs (two GSDS, ages three and ten) to a raw meat diet. They are currently being fed a commercial food that is nowhere near good. I have been learning more about dog food recently and I want to get them off the food they are currently on. So here are my questions...

Our older dog has hip dysplasia. Has there been any research about how raw diets effect dogs with hip dysplasia? I've read that it helps lower the risk of dysplasia (which is important for our younger dog, as the older dog is her sire).

What is the best way to switch a dog to a raw meat diet? I know with kibble dog foods you switch to the new food little by little. Do you do the same thing when switching to raw meat?

My main concerns are bones and bacteria. I've always been told that chicken bones are bad for dogs--that they splinter and can hurt a dog. I've also always been told that raw meat has bacteria and whatnot. Are these not true or do dogs have their own way of dealing with this?

Who agrees that it is sometimes the only solution in a given area for the problems ?

NOT who doesn't agree and why. I want to hear from people who have personal experience. I don't think its any paticular breeds fault. I don't believe that any breed is more likely to do this or that. But sometimes thats the breed in an area that is causing the problems

OK, my puppy is a newfie/saint mix (3 months old) and on "nice" day (like mid 20's or higher, not a lot of wind) he loves to be outside all the time. This includes wanting to go outside just to laydown. For example, our backdoor is fenced in, so he will come and laydown on the stoop and go to sleep, but if you try to call him in, he walks away and goes to lay down in the snow. Is this normal for this breed(s) of dog? Is it ok to let him sleep outside for a little bit during the day on nice days? I do check on him about every 10 minutes and we don't force the dogs to go outside except when they are playing and get pretty rowdy. Also, we always try to be outside with out dogs, since my smallest is a little escape artist, but do I need to be outside if he is just laying down right outside the door? Also, he will let me know when he wants to come in by either going from laying down to sitting when I come to the door or pawing at the door. Thanks!

I have a friend who was trying to give away her 6 weeks old german shepherd, border collie, golden retriever mix puppies when they are 8 wks old. I was tempted to take one, because I really wanted a puppy. But after thinking about it, I knew it wasn't a right fit for our family. Too big, lots of shedding, couldn't keep her in the house... especially since I have a daycare. So I decided to go with a maltipoo from a breeder. My friend was a little bummed, and I felt bad, but i couldn't take a puppy. What would you have done? Also, what are good way to advertise puppies? in your state paper?

I am fostering a momma dog (Beagle) with four puppies, about 10 days old now. They started having runny noses about 5 days ago and have been on antibiotics (Amoxicillin- drops) for 4 days now. My question is when they will stop having the runny nose. Since antibiotics only prevent the cold from becoming a bacterial infection and does not cure the cold or the symptoms, when will the symptoms go away or better yet... when will they get better? Please any honest answers are greatly apreciated. Thanks in advance! 10 pts- best and honest answer!
