We adopted two wonderful Poms from a shelter/rescue center. One of them took to the doggie door immediately while the other one is still not there. The problem we are having is that one of them pees when he is happy or gets excited (which is all the time)!
I think my Shih Tzu has cataracts. She is 4 years old. Why does this happen? How much is it to fix? Is it even fixable?
My two month old German Shepherd pup seems to have swallowed his flea collar as a whole, even its clamps. The collar has been on him for about a month. I know it was stupid of me to put a flee collar on a pup, but he had fleas like aliens. The vet can't reach him till tomorrow morning...
Be Consistent With the New Puppy's Rules
The time to start training your new puppy is on the day it joins your family. Don't expect perfection. Puppies have accidents. They forget the rules at times and sometimes, their curiosity causes trouble for them in areas where rules haven't been established.
What can I do for my male dog (Papillon) who has a problem when his little private part. It keeps getting dry with little sores on it. The vet said put Vaseline on it. Should I go to the pet store and buy salve for it?
Previously House Trained Dog Peeing and Pooping Inside
I have a 2 year old Italian Greyhound/Pug mix (pugit) His name is Charlie. Charlie is a rescue dog. He was received by a family that could not handle him and then passed to us. (myself and two kids)
You can make life easier for you and your new puppy if you start early with basic care giving and grooming. When you first get your puppy, begin slowly introducing it to the various grooming procedures it can expect to experience regularly throughout its life. You could start by softly brushing its hair as it sleeps in your lap.
How do I best get my dog to like others that come to visit us? He is very overprotective of us and will not settle down until they leave. This is beginning to cause us stress and to think way too much before we have company over.
I have a 6 month old Rott/Huskey mix. All she gets is dry food, never human or canned food. Occasionally she gets a raw diet. I have tried foods from Blue Buffalo down to Eukanuba and she eats it for three weeks, then she will just sniff at it then walk away.
I have a 7 week old Bichon Frise; how many times a day is it best to feed her?
My puppy is 15 weeks old. He is half Yorkie and half Toy Schnauzer. He will not poop on his pee pad. He will hold it for a long time after we feed him.
Treating Dog With a Yeast Infection
My little Maltese cross has had a reoccurring ear infection for a few months now. The drops and wash given by the vet were not effective. I have been researching the use of diluted white vinegar, vaginal cream, and diluted apple cider, as well as, changing her food to a natural one.
Aging dogs need some special considerations to keep them happy and comfortable. These are just a few tips that I have found helped improve the quality of life for my aging pets.
I have had her for three days now. I am trying to figure out what kind of puppy she is. Someone gave her to me because they got two babies and worked. They were told she is Yorkie mixed, but I am not sure of the other half. Someone please help.
Why is my 7yr. old dog's hair thinning? There is no second coat as usual.
Instead of keeping all your doors closed to keep dogs (or people) out of bedrooms, purchase plastic lattice at your local home improvement center. It comes in different colors.
What can I give my dog so he won't shed so much? Is there a supplement, mineral, herbs, or anything that will help? Thanks for your help.

4 Year Old Lab Started Peeing in the House
We (Tessa and I) have recently moved to Florida with my sister-in-law and their Beagle-Lab mix dog. My 4 year old Lab is peeing a significant amount of urine in the dining area lately, even when we are in the house!
My Golden Retriever is like a skittish cat when it comes to loud noises. She scares easily and I don't know what to do for her, but let her know it's OK and I'm here comforting her. You can imagine what the 4th of July is like! Thunder even gets her going.
Craft Project: Dog Crate Cover
This is a cover for my dog's cage. I made to help keep him warm and also for privacy. It has a flap in the front you can tie up or let it down to have the cover closed yet allow him access to go in and out.
This has an inside pillow filled with fiberfill and a removable cover for washing with a pocket so my dog thinks he is sleeping "under the blankets".
Paige is 2 1/2 years old and is a Lab mix. She is our rescue that we adopted this summer!
Craft: Howl-O-Ween Sweater Dress
This is a sweater dress I made for my Tiny Yorkie, it is a cute dress, a sweater and a costume all in one.
