    Would you buy from these breeders??

    "If you can't afford a vet, you can't afford a pet"

    My gran told me recently that she has never been more worse off then she has now. And that scares me considering he is 80+ and comes from a very good background! Im not suggesting that we do not use it if it is there, im saying how long is it going to be available for? If i developed...

    "If you can't afford a vet, you can't afford a pet"

    I agree with you! There are two types of people. The poor and the low income. Now i have a family living down my road with like 10 kids. You hear people screaming at each other 24/7 and the house is practically imploding with damage! Not only that but they got a shaggy dog that runs up...

    "If you can't afford a vet, you can't afford a pet"

    I agree, my only arguement is, how would people of dealt with this dog when this type of surgery didnt exist? Im afraid that we are reverting back to how things were back then. Maby if dogs with these types of conditions were put down (genetic right?) maby people would be more selective about...

    "If you can't afford a vet, you can't afford a pet"

    Agreed! This is what i meant by putting dogs in homes by people on low income! As long as they can feed the dog a decent diet, provide enough funds to PTS or provide minor treatments then provide a dog on deathrow at least some sorta life before sickness sets in, then yes i think do it! But...

    "If you can't afford a vet, you can't afford a pet"

    I AGREE WITH THIS. Can please everyone take the time to realise how people took care of their dogs before insurence and operations were even available to pets.Dogs were fed table scraps! Not even 150 years ago? If a dog got parvo back then, it was dealt with kindly and respectfully and that...

    "If you can't afford a vet, you can't afford a pet"

    Depends where you live. If you live on a farm i doubt i would vaccinate my dog unless i knew another was coming to the farm and do it in advance. In the uk we have the pdsa, which helps pay for your vets bills if your low income. Is there something similar in usa? So minor injurys/surgery...

    Indoor cats?

    Please dont feed your cats any type of dog food! Cats require taurine! Dogs can make it themselves but cats need to have it added to their food! Unless your feeding whole prey or very course minces/chunky meats then you will also need to add some to every meal your cats eat. Also dogs should...

    "If you can't afford a vet, you can't afford a pet"

    Another point of view is rescue pets and poor people. Alot of rescues will not allow people on benefits or have a low income to adopt an animal. Surely a home with a low income and management of a health complaint is better then a rescue kennel or a death sentence? So rescuing a puppy...

    "If you can't afford a vet, you can't afford a pet"

    The way i see it is maby we should apply this rule to having children to those judgemental people huh? You loose your home and job and live in a van for a couple years. Well lets take HAVE THE KIDS ADOPTED. Why is it trashy people are aloud to breed like rabbits and spit 7 children out and...

    Whining in crate at night

    Absolutely shatter the dog out with a run, literally minutes before bed. Then he wont have the energy whine! if he starts whining after wait for him to stop for a minute n give him his goodies then or just leave them with him. A tired dog cannot sleep if he whining lol
