Is hardwood flooring a good idea when presence of canine is there.

We are planning on renovating our home and we have a thought for our flooring and that would be to have oak hardwood. Our real concern on having hardwood flooring is our dear pets, Strike and Dew, a BC and a Poodle respectively. They are playful but at the same time much disciplined ones, but they can at times scratch things when left unnoticed. We gave hardwood a thought because Ridgeway Design Centre http://www.ridgewaydesigncentre.ca/ Oakville branch is in our neighborhood and they gave us a good... more

You could use a double picket aluminum fence for your dogs. It also provides security and privacy. It looks like this www.fencetown.com/.../onguard-bunting-fence-panel-36h-x-72w There are also fence panels with a puppy picket at the bottom that would do the same job.

Our New Pyrenees

Ear mites help

Hi, my 4 month old puppy just came home on Tuesday and appears to have ear mites. He is constantly trying to scratch his ears, shakes his head, and loves walking over to me for a nice ear rub. The puppy is seeing the Vet tomorrow but I was wondering if anyone has any ideas of ways to control the symptoms or get rid of the pain temporarily until he will be seen by the Vet tomorrow. Thanks!

New Puppy!

For those of you who supported us during Shayna's near-fatal bout with IMHA, her subsequent glorious survival for two more years and then her final death from cancer, I am thrilled to be back on this forum with a new puppy!

Cats are obligate carnivores-they need meat to survive.. Dogs are scavenger carnivores. They can eat veggies, but need meat to thrive. Check out the teeth. Fangs to kill, slicers to cut meat chunks.

eating cloth

my dog ate a very thin piece of cloth about 5 inches long from a dog toy 4 days ago. she is eating well, pooping normally and running around. 2 days ago she passed some of it in her poop but I haven't seen any since. I think it may be possible very small pieces have been coming out all along but it's been freezing so I couldn't really look through it. she is still eating well and acting like her happy self. should I still be concerned?
