My chocolate lab seems to be losing the pigment around his nose. I took him to the vet when it was localized to one side of his face and she said that there is no redness, crustiness, or inflammation and she said it could possibly be an allergic reaction to something. She also said it isn't...

I have a lab who is turning 3 at the end of this month. He STILL doesn't know (or doesn't care) what is his and what is not. I assume part of it is because he doesn't get enough exercise but changing that is just not an option right now. Whenever we leave the house we leave him gated in a...

So my 11 month old lab used to be a pleasure at night as he would be put in his crate at night and he would be silent until we came down in the morning (at whatever time). However for the last 3-4 weeks he has been a serious pain in the ass. He starts barking and whining around 4:45-5 in the...

I have a 9 month old lab which LOVES to destroy everything. Whatever he can get in his mouth he MUST destroy it. He had a blanket that he loved and we kept it in his crate for him to ball up and sleep on. He would never bite or try to destroy this blanket. Well starting around a month ago he...

I live on long island and don't need flea preventive during dec-feb so I was thinking about doing the Interceptor/Frontline combo for cost effectiveness. I was also thinking about buying in bulk (12 packs) and was concerned about the shelf life. Will the stuff last ~ a year and a half under...

I noticed today that my dogs nose is running clear but when he dog sneezed some yellowish green mucus shot out. He is alive and full of energy, has no stool problems and hasn't lost his appetite. I have been blowing my nose like crazy lately as well. All the flowers are starting to bloom around...

Background: I have been taking my 7 month old lab to the dog park for about 3 months now and he has never had a problem. Today he woke me up whining at 5:00am because he had vomited in his crate. I took him out and he had a loose stool so I sat with him awhile and gave him a little food. He...

I have a 7 month old lab who LOVES to gnaw at and destroy toys. Once he senses a weakness in the toy he focuses all his attention to that one spot until he destroys it. He loves stuffed animals but I just can't keep buying them as they don't last longer than a week. Sometimes even a few...

My 35 lb lab pup has outgrown his travel crate and I can't fit a bigger size in my back seat. I need to switch to a car harness and was wondering what you guys recommend for a pup that most likely will NOT just lay down and stay calm in the backseat (which is why I had the crate in the first...

I have a 15.5 week old labrador puppy who doesn't get much exercise. I am feeding him Canidae all life stages and have been feeding him about 1.5 cups of food a day with many treats for training (biscuts, apples, peanut butter, cheese, hot dogs). I took him to the vet a week and a half ago and...

How old is your puppy? What breed is your puppy? How much exercise does he get a day? (time outside spent walking, running, jogging, etc...)

How old is your puppy? What time does your puppy get up (or what time do you let him out of crate)? What time do you feed him? What time do you take away his water? What time do you put him to bed? How often does he take naps?

I have my pup confined to the kitchen (with a tile floor) as he is too unpredictable in the bathroom department. The back door is 1 (carpeted) room away from the kitchen. I have been taking him out often and he is good about going outside and I think he understands the command "make" however he...

I am looking for a walk through gate (pressure or screw mounted) that is $35 or less. It doesn't have to be anything special. All the ones I have seen are around $60 each which is too much for me as I need 2 of them. You guys know of anything?

My lab just turned 8 weeks old and I constantly have to take him out back so he can get busy. The only problem is since it is fall there are leaves and pollynoses all over the ground. Sometimes he will get busy right away, other times I need to walk him around a little which is difficult as he...

So I picked my little guy up last week and for the first two days he seemed to adjust very well. Not much crying, took to his crate perfectly, very minor nipping. Well he just turned 8 weeks yesterday and it is like someone flipped a switch and I really don't know what to do. We have him...

I bought my 7 week old lab a plush puppy stuffed animal the other day and as with all stuffed animals the thing sheds. He was biting it like he is supposed to and the fuzz is getting in his mouth. Is this bad for him? Will he choke on it? I am afraid to leave it in his crate or out for him to...
