    Peeing on back step

    My puppy also pees on the step every morning and every evening. In the morning it is because she is excited to see my other dog and in the evening it happens when my mother comes home from work...so I would say that it is most likely because she is very excited. This also happened with my...

    More than one way to shave a cat?

    I just had to shave my entire cat about 1 month ago because of an allergic reaction she was having to her cat food. Her entire back was one big mat. I shaved her myself with a pair of normal hair clippers and I had my mother come over to hold her. Personally, I had to use the clippers without...

    red bumps under legs

    My 3 1/2 month old puppy Shadow has a lot of red bumps under her front legs. They look like fly bites to me, but they are mostly all concentrated in these areas. She tends to scratch at them quite a bit, which has caused a few to become infected. I am washing them out very good daily. I was...

    weird breed mixes

    Well I have a dalmatian/akita mix puppy and I must say that she is kinda strange. Her body is built almost exactly like a dalmatian, but she has a short, broad face. She is almost all black, but her chest, belly and chin have dalmatian markings and the tips of her feet almost look roanish...

    Akitas!

    I have a 3 1/2 month old akita/dalmatian mix names Shadow and while she definetely takes after the dalmatian more I can still see quite a bit of akita in her personality and so far I have no concerns whatsoever. I can tell you that she is an extremely high energy dog and at 2 1/2 months she was...

    Should I let my puppy off the lead yet?

    Our 3 month old pup goes in our yard without her leash (we have a 5 acre yard), but that is it. Whenever she goes for walks or even if people are near our house, she is always on a leash. She does know come, but she is so easily distracted that I cannot quite trust her yet. I have already...

    Prism Dog Food?

    I have been feeding my cats prism for quite sometime now, because one has severe allergies to all other foods, but the other day I noticed that they also have a line of dog foods and I was wondering if this would be good to feed to my pup once she grows up. It is made by Eagle Pack, but is much...

    R our dogs too skinny?

    I get the exact same reaction from people when they see my 3 month old dalmatian/akita mix. They always assume that she is a black lab and that she should be fat because she is a puppy, however, she looks almost exactly the same as your puppies in her body structure. I must say though that I...

    Mother Hubbard treats??

    Thank you very much for the replies. I have actually gotten many samples because the pet store has them out on their counter to give to any dogs that come in. My older dogs do not like any of the flavours, but my puppy just loves the puppy one. I just didn't want to actually buy them until I...

    nOT ALL PET STORES ARE BAD!

    I have to agree that pet stores are not places to buy animals, even though I have been known to not be able to resist a cute face in those little cages. We only have one pet store here that I will patronize. It is locally owned and does not sell cats or dogs. They do not buy their little...

    Mother Hubbard treats??

    I want to buy my puppy some treats and the best ones that I can find are Mother Hubbard's. I am planning on getting her the special recipe small puppy biscuits. Are these good for her or are they made with a bunch of junk like almost everything else?

    What are you afraid of?

    I have a severe phobia of spiders. I am actually going through desensitization therapy right now for it, because the phobia was interfering with my daily life too much. Hopefully, I'll be able to get over it a little.

    looking for a breed

    I have a dog who fits your description almost exactly and we beleive that she is a Corgi/Schipperke mix. She is an excellent guard dog (barks whenever someone she doesn't know comes in the yard), extremely intelligent, plenty of energy, and she gets along great with my 2 other dogs, 3 cats...

    Cost for spaying?

    That actually seems a little high to me. My puppy's bills, including her spay, overnight stay, meds, and her vaccinations will only comes to $239 Canadian and another vet quoted me $190. You could shop around a little, but if you really like and trust your vet sometimes it is worth the little...

    2 un neutered dogs

    It really all depends on the dogs. We had 2 uneutured brothers who got along great, with only small dominance issues and we also had a neighbors uneutured male come over sometimes and they were also fine with him. It can work sometimes.

    do you believe in

    I beleive that a person that specializes in animal behavior would be able to help you if you were having a behavior related problem with a dog. They would probably be able to give you a good idea of why somethin is happening and how to go about correcting it, but I cannot say that I believe in...

    breed of puppy

    I am going to say collie. My dog Chuckie was a sheltie mix and he looks almost exactly the same. He could still have rotti in him, but I would not say so based just on the color pattern. Here is a picture of Chuckie:

    female puppy and male dog???

    ok...thank you. I am not worried about puppies or anything like that, but I was worried that him mounting her would bother her. Charlie used to mount his brother a lot and they had fights about it, so I wasn't sure if he would be as persistent with her since she will be fixed.
