There are many good ones that do not get too hot, but this is what I got. http://www.valleyvet.com/ct_detail.html?pgguid=30e07819-7b6a-11d5-a192-00b0d0204ae5 I got it over 7 years ago and it still works great. The reason I got the metal one is because it is indestructible. It also takes only...

one problem i see with those feeders is that it is too time consuming. filling up 8 different dishes and then cleaning all of them. it is a lot more work then using just one large dish to prepare, serve and clean. Been there, done that, did not like it. as for heating pads, why do people have...

There is nothing like the sound of crunching food coming from a puppy that was half dead just hours before. Eating dry food on his own is a great sign that he is over it.

$230??? I don't think so. A $15 plastic kiddy pool and a $20 heating pad underneath would work just as well, especially for large breeds with a large litter.

Silent heat usually means the owner did not notice any bleeding or swelling. It can certainly happen. May not technically be a "silent heat" but if the owners did not notice, it is silent to them. Most people do not check their dogs everyday. They rely on seeing blood spots on the floor or...

Well, you do not need a full set of teeth to compete in agility or obedience. This is the LA county law which is a very good indicator of what the state law would be like. http://animalcontrol.co.la.ca.us/cms1_045463.asp#TopOfPage...

As I said, the age is a point that needs to be addressed. as it is now, it is a catch 22. As far a retired dogs, In LA county, a titled dog does not need to be fixed. Most likely that will be the case with this one as well. No one is saying it is perfect, but it is better then nothing.

Assuming this law can be enforced across the board, it will be a good thing. People are not going to s/n and stop breeding out of the goodness of their hearts unless something drastic happens. This bill does provide for serious reputable breeders the option to breed. Not all will be able to...
