    My dog, Charlie died

    Well, the worst has happened. Charlie (1 yr. old golden retriever) was a dear, wonderful, crazy dog. He had personality plus and was absolutely beautiful. He was hit by a car and took the full force of the hit in his head. It broke his jaw and he never really did regain consciousness. I...

    Stiches not removed

    Stiches not removed

    I have a friend you just got her puppy neutered. They told her to bring him back in a few days to get the stiches out, but she never did. Is that going to be a problem for the little guy?

    Should puppies eat only dog food?
