Meet Lust. She's a mix of border collie, border terrier, staffy, JRT & whippet. She will be a little dog, about 20 lbs (we hope!). I've been wanting a little dog to do flyball with but one that would suit/fit our home properly. She comes the end of September from Ontario. Named Lust after...

Ive been shopping for a dog for quite some time now, and I found a dog I want (female) when I called and asked if she was fixed, they told me no, and told me that they have "breeding rights" for her.. Now hypothetically speaking, if I were to buy this dog, could I have her bred, or is it non...

Well now that I've gotten over the sadness of yesterday morning thought I'd share with you all that Kelly (Boxer in my avatar) was put to sleep yesterday morning :( She was 9 and with the abusive past that she had gone through me and the wife decided that if anything came up in the X-ray...

To something. Time to figure out what! Took him to see Dr Jeff Goodall at Sunnyview last night - what a great man. Bentley has a rash on his tummy, around his genitals, a bit on his underarms and behind his hind legs. But, it looks like it is healing. Gonna streamline his diet and take some...

for dogs that jump up on you and everyone else.

So 11 days ago my dogs had all their vaccines and shots. 8 days ago they were kenneled for 3 days. 2 days ago I noticed one of them sneezing a little, nothing serious. Now this morning I have two dogs sneezing and one of them coughing maybe. My vet isn't open today? Do they have a cold or kennel...

One of our kitties has a rodent ulcer. She was on some meds prescribed by the vet, but didn't do anything. Its getting a little worse now, and we'd like to get rid of it before it eats her upper lip off.. Has anyone else had any experience with these? I would prefer a homeopathic remedy, to...

I am going camping at the beginning of August, and I am looking into kennels for Bentley. He's not ready for camping yet, and we are going with a large group, with many small children, some who are scared of dogs. Also, Michael wont be with me, and I want to put all of my attention on my daughter. ...

http://halifax.kijiji.ca/c-pets-dogs-puppies-for-sale-Nova-Scotia-Duck-Toller-W0QQAdIdZ218045235 I asked if when the dog was adopted out to her if there were any contracts stating the breeding or stud service whenever the original owner chose and did she sign such an agreement? If the dog was...

Friend's dog. Puppy. She adopted from the Humane Society. 4 and a half months. Adopted a week ago. She snaps and growls sometimes. It has happened 3 times. First when friend was chasing her and trying to get a decomposing bird out of her mouth. Second when friend went over to her because...

Just kidding. Mostly. I dozed off last night before putting Bentley in his crate, and he thanked me by chowing down on the back of my leather chair. And then he woke me up at three am sooking because he'd peed all over himself in his crate. Ah, puppies. I curse the lady who came...

What a happy ending for 120 beagles http://www.petside.com/petsideblog/2010/07/beagle-freedom-over-100-beagle.php I want to adopt them all.

My vet was replaced by a new one who's just a sales pitch bitch for Hills/Purina. Apparently shitty dog food is the new cure for everything. Can anyone recommend a vet that cares and will treat ailments properly?

(Like stink up the whole yard for days, horrible gassiness stinky). And soft. I was talking to my sister-in-law who suggested that it was the food (he is being fed Orijen). Maybe because it is carb-free? I asked the store clerk the last time I bought it and she said he may be eating...

Any body see any reason why brown rice would not work as well as white rice to firm up fecal matter? I don't eat white rice and nothing is open today. I figured brown rice might be even bitter since its more fibrous. PS. Dane with the runs since 4am FTL

http://www.mentalfloss.com/blogs/archives/58595 I've actually wondered this, figured it was just me being crazy again. Like when freshly printed paper from a laser printer smells like mellons.

So right now my cats get fed 3 times a day. Wet food in the AM, Dry food around noon and Wet food again around 10pm or so. With me and wifey going away next week it's going to be very difficult to have someone come to feed the cats during these hours they are used to let alone 3 times a day. Any...

A friend of mines neighbour moved and abandoned their cat. I told her to report them and she doesn't want to do it to an organization that may end up putting the cat to sleep. I'm not too familiar with the route to take on matters like this so my questions are.....1) Can she just report it...

My family and I have been looking for a very long time for a puppy however we are running into issues....we only want certain breeds and of course they are extremely hard to find (ok i don't care what the breed is so long as it's not a small dog but the husband is extremely picky) the breeds we...

What signs do you look for / tests do you give to test your dogs hearing? Reason I ask is because i've a sneaking suspicion that Armani maybe losing some of his. He still hears enough for it not be a huge worry, but things I have noticed over the last bit: - he is getting to be more visual...
