    Are laser pointers harmful?!

    We got a laser pointer for Zoe, and she seems to love to chase it. Recently, we met someone who said you shouldn't use them with dogs because it can make them nervous and ADD. He said there are two things that are negatives- the "dot" has no smell or sound, which confuses the dog as no other...

    Does your dog have, er.....issues?

    I mean weird behaviors that are unexplainable? Zoe sucks on her stuffed rabbit like it's a pacifier. She holds it in her paws, with eyes half closed, and sucks on it for hours She is also completely obsessed with flies. Yes, flies. She will chase them out on the deck and cries when she...

    Teeth cleaning- so glad we didn't anesthetize

    I probably spelled that wrong, but...after calling several dog teeth cleaning places, we finally found one who doesn't use anesthesia. She only charged $120, took 30 minutes, and Zoes teeth are pearly white again! Not all dogs are good candidates for this, but with Zoe's sweet, docile...

    Um..anyone else's dog pee in the water?

    We have a lagoon near our house, and everytime I take Zoe for a walk she runs down into it and pees. It's kind of funny, but I just wondered if anyone else's dog does that.

    Bulldogs can't swim....true?

    Someone told me today that bulldogs are the one breed who can't swim because of their body type and short legs. Is this true?

    Suzies Tarter Liquid for dogs..?

    Why can you only use it one month at a time? How long do you have to wait in between?

    Suzies Tarter Liquid for dogs..?

    Has anyone used it? I was talking to a woman today who was raving about it. She said her dog's breath is now delightful, and that it really helps cut down on the tartar on his teeth. It's really expensive though, so wanted to see if any of you have tried it. Thanks

    Suddenly peeing in the house??

    I'm not really sure where to post this because I don't know if it's medical or psychological. Zoe is 3 1/2 year old very healthy lab/border collie mix. I work from home, so am around her most of the time. Since we've had her at 4 months, she's been house trained, and I often leave during the...

    I think I broke my dog!

    We have Bayer, so I'lll give her half of one. I just got back from a walk with her, and I think she's going to be fine. She was walking ok, and not favoring any one leg over another. She's just moving a bit slower than normal. Thanks for the help!

    I think I broke my dog!

    Hi -thanks for the response. Yes, I've checked all of her paws and they look fine. She doesn't seem to be limping on any particular leg- it's just like it's hard for her to walk in general. Aspirin is ok for dogs? Should I give her a whole one or half? She weighs 52 lbs.
