i inquired on a dog trainer and i asked him how he teach the dog obedience, if he punishes it to learn, he said they do it a bit—i don’t want that. do trainers really have to do that? i dont think its right.
a dog whisperer is someone who knows dog psychology & behavior , while a trainer is someone who teaches your dog commands & tricks.
if u dont know much bout the question, then don’t bother answering this.
My puppy is 8 weeks old and I want to start leash training her but i’m afraid she is still too young. She is very little but I don’t want to start training her too late. Is 8 weeks still to young?
I use "Revolution" to keep fleas, ticks, and misquitos off of my two cats and dog. Every now and then though, I find a little demon on a pet. My ferrets however, have no treatment on them. They are all itchy. I can’t see fleas but I know they are getting bitten by em every now and then since of course, unavoidable, there are a few in my house. Is there a monthly flea treatment for ferrets as well?
My cats really loved this cat food, they never got sick and they were constantly trying to claw the bag open o_O. But since a few years ago I just stopped seeing it on the shelves. At first it went to only being a small bag of it and then it was gone completely. I’ve searched a lot of stores and pet supplies/food places and none of them have it. Anyone have any ideas?
I want to do exactly that. I make dog biscuits in my home for my dogs and family/friends,but I want to know how I calculate the percentages of protien,fat,moisture,and fiber so that I can label it on the back because I eventually hope to expand and sell my biscuits. Thanks! 
4-month-old collie, brewer’s yeast/garlic/etc. chewables. He refuses to eat them (can’t say I blame him) but I have no problem poking them down his gullet.
Will they absorb reasonably well if they are not chewed?
Okay This is a very in dept question:
My dog 6 months ago was told that this she is starting to show arthritis (she is 13 years old) and I know that this is part of growing old and I have taken all the necessary steps for this (she’s currently on anti-inflamatory mediciation, she gets regular blood test, and x-ray check ups throughout the year, as well as having a diet and nutrition that caters to her senior adult life). However I feel that @ a point and time it may be inhuman to keep her in pain years from now and I was wondering if anyone has experience in this matter (actual experience or in depth knowledge with dog arthritis and if you haven’t please don’t respond). I am doing all I can to keep her comfortable.
Has anyone been put in a position of having to put their dog to sleep because the arthritis? If so how far along was the arthritis?
Yeah you didn’t say anything NEW or DIFFERENT than what I already know that VETS told me. Did you even read my post because you just repeated basically everything I said in the post. She’s on anti-inflammatory which they give dogs for arthritis.
What is the law for pets traveling in automobiles? Does the pet have to be crated?
I would like to own a dog (a beagle if you need to know), but I need to show my responsibility to do that. I was hoping I could take care of 2-3 pets to show that I’m responsible enough to own one. I was thinking a lizard and a hamster or something like that.
