    Dog puzzle toy difficulty

    I have always found that a dog left alone that is very curious is likely to shred anything that has food in it, that can be shredded. I would have thought that having anything with several sliders and moving parts was likely to be a choking hazard? I bought my dog a simple treat ball with...

    Life vests

    i had no idea that they had water vests for dogs. I regularly have advice clients to get car harnesses for dogs, so I guess this safety thing makes sense too. Thanks for sharing the idea,

    Jealousy

    You can follow cesars methods of asserting dominance over the animal that is trying to dominate the other animals, but a ferret? In many places these animals are banned because the are often very feral and cant easily be trained not to bite. I would be concerned for both your cat and dog! Good...

I fed mine on pellets for the first year, just to make the vet rich. Puppies in the wild have chewed...

    Is this tan creeping?

    I have never heard of creeping tan, but I know that my spoodle went from dark apricot when born to almost completely blond now. Not anything to do with sun and surf, just genetics ..

    Rolled leather collars

    This might sound funny, but I havent used a collar on my dog in years. I am a dog walker and he is with me all the time. When we go out I have used a correction lead on him mostly (which is just a thick chain at the end rather than a leather or otherwise collar). I have just found that collars...
