since death and taxes are both certainties, i'm sure insurance companies will not take that gamble. what are the odds of their making a profit?

what you need to be aware of with using pet insurance is that not only are certain preconditions not covered, any condition that is not listed in their pamphlet is also not covered. since we don't know what ailments will beset our dogs, it is a gamble that the insurance will pay off, if at all.

after paying for a whole year of VPI premiums, i felt i was giving my dog a peace of mind in case anything should happen to him. a couple months ago he wasn't able to walk after our stroll in the park and i took him to a vet. turns out it he sprained his back. well, VPI has it pretty much...

isnt' 6 years = 42 = middle age? many 42 year olds will be mad if you call them seniors, and so will my dog. ;)

thanks for you advice!

I have a 6 year old rottie mix and have been looking around for a good vitamin supplement. Does anyone give their dogs vitamins and which brands would you recommend?

i got an email from HSU about how we can contact all the government agencies involved (including pres bush) that can help rescue still stranded (and starving) pets: On Wednesday, one of our Disaster Animal Response Teams in New Orleans rescued a St. Bernard from a rooftop – a dog they...

owners are totally responsible for their dog's behavior and aggressions, both morally and legally. on court tv, there was a case where someone's dog was offleash and startled a next door neighbor's dog who was onleash. the offleash dog did not bark, chase or rush the leashed dog. however, the...

i wonder if anyone has had this experience with their dog or seen this kind of behavior: i went camping with sparky a week ago near a suburban area. around 7 am, while i was preparing breakfast, i saw sparky behaving strangely around the tent. he just seemed very unsettled as if something got...

i's probably stay on the rooftop with my dog till we both fall off. is there anything we can do, other than donate?

gempress, i didn't mean for my dog to stand his ground and fight, but to give the kind of confident air that doesn't incite other dogs to pick on him. i just wondered if this is a behavioral trait one can instill. i have noticed that on a few occasions, my dog's friendly greetings with...

mine's a rottie mix too, but does not have the rottie steely composure. he's sweet as a lamb. maybe i've given him too soft a life.

thanks all for your replies... :) it was pretty scary when the two dogs started to hunt down my dog like a rabbit and my dog is 60 lbs. although i love dogs, there is this killer instinct in all of them, and sometimes it's reflected in the way they are brought up. i get upset if my dog as...

hi, this is my first post and i'd like to ask the forum for some help and advice. however, for those a bit squeamish, please do not read this. i was in the park today and two massive german shepherd mixes, off-leash, came towards my dog and i. i asked the owner if they were friendly. he and...
