Yes the crying is what sets him off. He's at the point now where he can look at her and just be intrigued but not bark or whine too loud although he'll shake and give out a whimper but once he hears her crying he loses it. He runs at her and whines real loud. I'll have him on the leash so he...

We just delivered a newborn 1 week ago and since she's gotten home my dog won't stop obsessing over here, barking and whining. Just a little background on my dog, he's a rescue dog and had separation anxiety for the longest time. He guards our home and us non stop and barks at strangers. He's...

Does the meat have to free range organic or can I buy regular conventional raw meat?

If I fed my dog raw chicken and I have a pet bird, (cocktiel) would that make him want to eat the bird?

Thanks, may be a stupid question but does the size of the dog matter? Mine is 10 pounds. Any suggestions on how to start? I would be concerned with chicken bones splintering and chocking him. I read this dies not happen with raw chicken bones but just seems like it would, especially the...

Is it safe to go to the store and buy raw steak and feed it to him if he's never had that before?

Assuming your feeding your dog things he/she can eat, is there anything wrong with going away from commercial dog food and just feeding your dog say, cooked potatoes and carrots? I want my dog to live a long life, he's already 10 so I just want to do anything so he can live longer.

Hi, I live in the Houston, TX area and I'm fostering this 1 year old poodle. She is up to date with shots and is spaded already. My sister in law had her but decided not to keep her and we offered to care for her rather than have her returned to the shelter. She's great with people, very...

I gave my dog a bath and applied front line about 8 hours later when I figured he was dry however I still see fleas and after some research read that you need to wait 48 hours after a bath to apply so that the oils on his skin can return because that's how the frontline is distrubuted. Since it...

I don't think it's bad at all, it doesn't effect him now. What i'm concerned with is whether it will develop and cause him pain in the future. Being blind in one eye and that being the only sympton isn't too bad for him because he's a happy dog right now.

This is a stray dog I'm fostering at the moment. He's maybe 1 year old, still very young. Overall very healthy, strong and energetic but he has this one cloudy eye. Here is the picture, does this look like cataract and how bad does it look? I'm taking him to a vet this weekend to look at it but...

I felt like fussing at the guy but I didn't. I'm not sure if that is generally how the shelter is or maybe I ran into a guy that didn't know what he was talking about. CAPS has a reputation in my area of being a good shelter to take animals and I just couldn't believe what I was hearing. I...

Sorry if this counts as another thread about the same dog but my last one was a question on whether I did the right thing by taking this dog in. Now I would like to know if anybody on this forum from Houston, TX would be interested in being a parent for this dog? I found this dog in my...

So I took both of them to the animal shelter today (CAPS - Citizens for Animal Protection). They advertise on their website that they will only euthanize if the dogs are seriously ill and suffering. Well, one needs dental work and the other may be blind in one eye. I don't think that qualifies...

Good ideas, hopefully I can find the owner soon. One of them ran away today and went into another persons house that lives in the neighborhood. I thought that might be the owner but turns out it's just a guy that feeds him when he comes around and that's why he came straight over there. I have a...
