Ok I asked 2 vets about this and the fleas have to bite the animal before they die, because my dogs also still had fleas getting on them.

Yes I would defintetely take him to see the vet and keep in mind that not only will salt get stuck in the hair of their feet, but it can also burn their feet too. So it is probably best to try hard to avoid the salted paths anyway, I know easier said than done huh! :)

I would have a vet look at your dog even if it does even seem to subside when your uncle leaves. Sometimes there can be something wrong medically that can conveniently happen at a time when it can get misread as something else not so worrisome. I am definetely hoping that it IS nothing, but if I...

Ya I applied at several rescues until I got approved by two and even they took a while. The one rescue I actually met the lady on another forum (which she so happens to be the administrater), so I asked her why I didn't hear back and here her computer broke down and she lost all of her previous...

I rescued a dog that the owner said was untrainable and they were going to take him to the shelter.

My puppy Charlie dissappeared the day after Thanksgiving and her body was found apparently she got attacked by something, which in this area we have a coyote problem.. She is missed very much and will always be in my heart! She is the puppy that is in my avatar.:(

Does anyone out there live around the Brookville, PA area?

I agree that I would make sure she is healthy before getting it done, and she should be absolutely fine! I know dogs that got put in the shelter much older that have gone through the spay surgery just fine!! :) To reassure yourself and your mother just ask the vet their opinion. I look up to...

Thank you for your input! I have been pondering on where I am going to keep the foster when I am not home and absolutely cannot take them and at night. My puppies are crate trained but the longest they stay in them is overnight, during the day they are rarely ever put in them. I am weary of...

Hello, after filling out an app to foster I got the call that they want to schedule a home visit within this week or beginning of next. Can anyone tell me what I may be looking forward to when they come? Thank you!

I went to Penn State and took some Wildlife Tech, and one of my projects was done on coyotes. They are VERY smart animals, even though there are things out there to keep them away it does not take them long to figure out that its not a real threat. I am not saying that they will eat your...

I completely agree with all "It's Me or the Dog" fans out there, Victoria does a lot of work with dogs that bark way too much. Check out the website for the show and maybe you can find the past episodes and clips of these particular dogs :).

Maybe try redirecting his attention around her somehow, I agree with Maura sometimes dogs "hump" to show dominance. Which is why you may at times see female dogs do this also. So it is very possible that he just needs to know that she is a temporary member of YOUR pack and his behavior is not...

Unfortunately all my babes sleep in a crate at night cause my fiance's doberman has bladder control issues but for some reason only when lying on soft areas (and believe me when we are not in the room the couches become fair game to her lol), and well my girls are just pups :)

Ok so I just gave my girls baths and what felt like clumps of dirt on my sheltie puppy's skin is actually lots of wounds!! All around her head and neck, the poor thing has such thick hair I couldn't tell what they were until I got her wet. I'm not sure but I think they are from my other puppy...

Yes fresh eggs are amazing! :) And my daughters have so much fun with the chickens! My 5 yr old wants to show chickens in 4H. My fiance has a doberman plus of course I have my 2 puppies and a cat, and every animal just completely leaves my chickies alone! The only threat are the weasels that...

Ok so I saved 6 chickens from the middle of town. The people bought them when they werent allowed to have them and they are extremely tame! I love them to death, yes thats right I love chickens..:) and I am proud of that! they can make very cute pets! These 2 hens in particular help themselves...

Yes I was taught that the best thing to do is turn away and completely ignore the dog until she gets down, then give her all your attention.

You can find many stress relief and calming aids out there that are perfectly safe for dogs..in fact a lot of them you can find at Petco or somewhere like that..

Yes it does take a special person, someone that knows the needs and proper handling of the animals. I guess I didn't post the way that I was thinking because it is aimed more towards the people that just get these animals on a whim because they are cute, or because the person just wants...
