Can anyone point me to a good harness and collar? My new dog Travis chewed through a nylon harness in minutes. He's not too good on walks yet and I thought that using a harness would be better than just a collar and leash but I'm not sure what kind to get. Also, he keeps slipping him collar...

I adopted a new dog, Travis, from a shelter back in Jan. They told me that he had had heartworms but was treated. They also said the treatment was hard on him. Fast forward to the other day when we go to the vet for a checkup. He tests positive for heartworms. The shelter faxes over the info...

I've just moved into a new place and there isn't really a good, inconspicuous place to put my cat's litter box so I've been trying to find something that can be out in the open but still look ok and hide the box. I was looking online and found this: Amazon.com: Merry MPSOO6 Cat...

Ok, maybe this should be in the food forum but when I was grocery shopping yesterday, I saw in the ice cream section, they had ice cream sandwich's for dogs! Has anyone ever tried these? Sounds like it could get messy. I wonder if dogs can get ice cream headaches?

We've had Gypsy since she was old enough to come home. She's a 2 year old blue merle, Australian Shepherd. I've seen her parents and her litter mates and they look like typical Aussies. But Gypsy has not filled out yet! She has the coloring and everything but she's kind of scrawny looking...

Gypsy has always been a good dog as far as accidents went. She was really easy to housebreak and would let you know as soon as she needed to go out. But for the past two weeks she has been pooping in the house everyday. Usually I find it in the morning when I wake up. She no longer likes to go...

Does anyone have any advice on what to do when you have to leave your pet for a while? I'm going out of town for over a week. My boyfriend and our dog will still be at the house so Kitty will not be alone, but boyfriend doesn't really like the cat all the much and I know he won't give her any...

Perhaps this might be better suited in the training forum but I thought I would ask, how can I teach my dog not to pull things off of the dining room table? We don't crate Gypsy when she's home alone (she's quite good most the time) but it seems that whenever something is left on top of the...

Someone had posted a thread on here that had three different examples of how to get a dog. 1)a BYB 2) A pet store (I think) 3) a legitamite breeder. It was based on Great Danes but could be applied to any dog. Could someone provide me a link to it? Anyone know what I'm talking about? Thanks!

There might be a thread on this already. I did a search but couldn't find anything. So I was wondering how your dog got his/her name?

In the past month or so, Gypsy has been barking like mad at people. Before, she would bark a little when someone came in the house but stopped after a few mintues. Now, she doesn't stop barking at them. It just continues on and on. She also barks at any person when we're outside. Even if they...

All you computer savvy people are great! I love your signatures. If anyone is bored and wants to make one for my Gypsy Rose, she would be very grateful:D

Gypsy has just recently started barking and trying to get my attention alot for no apparent reason. She used to sleep through the night and wake me up around 6 am to be let outside. Now she barks and paws at me for no apparent reason throughout the night. At first I thought she just wanted to be...

I've tried EVERYTHING! Frontline every month, flea bomb the house and yard, baths every other week but nothing is working. I called the vet and he gave us some Capstar and told us how it's not just us but everyone in our area is having a major flea problem. Even the cat has them now and she...

Hello eveyone! I'm new here and wanted to say hello. I have an 11 month old Blue merle aussie that I'm in love with! Best dog ever, don't think I'll even get another breed. I look forward to learning alot from these forums.:D

I have a 11 month old, female autralian shepherd. We have had her since she was old enough to leave her mom so I know she has never been hit or abused. Lately, whenever I try to give her a treat, she will approach me for a second and then turn around and cower under the table or something. Like...
