Different Dog Breeds to Suit Your Unique Lifestyle Choices

Raising and caring for a dog is serious and hard work, pretty much like raising a child. If you have a good idea of the temperament and the needs of your pup, you will be better able to train and socialize him. This, in turn, will help him grow into a sociable and well-adjusted dog. The basic temperament, nature and physical characteristics of a pooch depend on the breed. Almost all breeds have strong and distinct characteristics that set them apart from each other. A dog DNA test will get you more... more

Rare Photo Surfaces Of Hachiko: The World's Most Loyal Dog

Hachiko has been named the world's most loyal dog, and for good reason. Those of you who don't know about the amazing Japanese Akita who lived over 80 years ago, you should. When Hachiko's owner died unexpectedly, without the dog's knowledge, Hachiko started a ten year long wait for his owner to return. Many consider this story one of the saddest, some consider it remarkable. Check out this rare photo that was discovered of Hachiko waiting for his owner!

Puppy food amount

We just got an almost 4 month old golden doodle and are feeding him Diamon Naturals Large Breed Puppy food. The bag says to feed him 4 or 5 cups of food a day. His old owner was doing Purina Puppy Chow :( , 1 cup, 2x a day so I started with 1 cup of Diamond 2x a day. He has had large poops 2-3x a day with that amount. Should I really increase to 4-5 cups a day and if so how should I split it up over the day

Dog Behaviour

Hi, my name is Mary and I have two dogs. Sometimes they play with one another and then the next they are fighting. I think sometimes they get jealous about one another. One of our dogs like to bark when people walk by and get excited around other dogs.

The Lakeland Terrier is a dog breed, which takes its name from its place of origin, the Lake District in England. The dog is a small to mid-size member of the Terrier family. While independent in personality, it interacts well with owners and all family members, and is mostly hypo-allergenic

My trainer created a monster....

In Alex.. Lol. He's not a small dog person and wants to get a mastiff in a few years. Which is fine with me but ever since we got Sandy, his new plan is get a mastiff and a russell together! LMAO! I'm all for getting another russell and have already stated if we do get one, it'll be my dog since I'm the one involved with sports. I think we'll never be without a JRT in our lives by the looks of things. Lol

You have to be very carefull with your trainer because you will buy Quite / innocent puppy and after Trainer trains him there would be chance to be like monster. IF trainer good then Doggie also become innocent, if trainer treat him like Hell then obviously Dog became a monster.

Puppy Not Interested in ANY Food

Hey, all, My puppy boy (~7 months old Husky/Malamute/GSD mix) has decided that he doesn't care for food. Meaning any food. He stopped touching his raw. Okay, so after a hunger strike, we tried kibble. Nope. Not interested in chicken. Not interested in even the smelliest of foods/treats. Nothing else is wrong. No lethargy. No vomiting. No diarrhea. He's drinking and playing with all the same energy--just VERY reluctantly eating 1/3rd of what he was just 2 weeks or so ago. He... more

A sudden disinterest in food may mean your puppy is sick, perhaps intestinal woes. If you suspect something may be wrong, make an appointment with your puppy's veterinarian. If your puppy eats other kinds of food (like wet food or snacks) and refuses to touch his dry food, he may just be a picky... more

My golden itches all the time.

He has itched like crazy, it's gotten worse lately, where if you touch him anywhere, he kinda freezes up and acts like he's being scratched (bad analogy). He has some black powering effects on his skin, but no red rashes, or pustules. I can't really SEE a rash, but the instant he get excited about new people or something like that, he goes into itching mode.

When dog scratching gets out of hand, it is often the result of allergies to food or environmental triggers, including mold and pollen. Dogs may also develop a skin irritation called contact dermatitis when they encounter substances like pesticides or soap. Boredom or anxiety

Curious about Maya's breed...

I got my dog from a shelter about 8 months ago, she's a year and a half old right now. I've gotten comments from people who think she's a whippet, a pit, a shepherd, a boxer, and any combo of the above. Any suggestions anyone?

I was told by a few people Belgian Shepherd/Pit mix...based on her looks and attitude, I'm thinking that's the closest I've gotten so far.

Jessie has killed and ate rabbits several times without any ill effects. I worry because she has chronic pancreatitis, but the bunnies don't seem to make her sick. I hope your friends dog gets better soon.

Wed, Sep 4 2013 1:00 PM

The dog could be sick from something the rabbit may have eaten. Also I know if I eat something I don't normally eat it can upset my stomach too. The antibiotics should help and a bland diet, if the dog doesn't start acting normal in a couple days call the vet.

My jacky ate rabbit one time, he like non veg like never seen before if he gets me to eat then he can eat me also...

My Yuki turned 9 this year and has been slowing down. We dealt with some pretty rough joint pain earlier in the year and he has done pretty well since. This weekend, he was climbing the walls, as were my 3 & 5 year old. We all went to the park, where the boys could play in the soccer field with my husband, and I could take Yuki to the dog park. We don't normally go to the dog park, it makes me twitch (too many variables to keep track of). When we were there, it was just so different with... more

Liver Failure Reversal Diet

Hi, I am trying to get the word out to as many dog lovers as possible. Here is my story. Our 9yo female Golden Retriever, Powder (she's a rare white blonde), was sick with liver failure. We had been called home early from a vacation by our pet sitter. When I returned home, she had crawled into a large hole on our property and was literally on her last legs. She couldn't stand, she was feverish, her eyes were glazed over and dull, and bugs were crawling on her. She barely recognized me... more

Sat, Jul 5 2014 5:28 PM

The SAM-e isn't making her weak -- but if she's not eating that will make her weak. When you syringe feed -- put your hand over her muzzle (fingers on top, thumb underneath) and hold her gently but firmly. Use your index finger to lift up her lip near the canine tooth. Stick the tip of the... more

Hi, I have been reading up on parsley and dogs. Does anyone add parsley to their dogs diet? I heard a tablespoon of fresh parsley per day for a medium to large dog.

Some of my friends feed pork. I don't mostly because I've found it to be far to rich for one of my dogs. I've heard the same from others. But in theory, pork is fine.

Eating raw or undercooked pork is not safe for dogs or humans, due to the parasite trichinella spiralis larvae, which can cause the parasite infection known as trichinosis. ... This more commonly affects humans than dogs

What type of breed do I have?

I got my dog Damien back in November 2012 when he was 71/2 months old. He is now 2 yrs. People would ask what kind of dog he is and I would just say shepherd mix. His height: 21-22 in and weight: 50lbs. He is all black with a white blaze on chest and white tip on the tail. His ears are erect but one is floppy.
