Flea Preventative - again.....
Posted to: News & Entertainment
It is 14 days passed the girl's due date for their flea medication. I have an unopened box of Advantix, but am afraid to use it. Layla is so supersensitive to EVERYTHING and I've heard so many horror stories about bad reactions and death. The vet said they would take it back and give me a refund...

What do dogs hear when bats are flying around?
Posted to: News & Entertainment
When I walk my dog early in the morning (twilight) I can see and hear bats. To the human ear it is a little chirping sound, but what does it sound like to a dog? They have a keener sense of hearing and since bats use a high frequency sound to locate insects I wonder why the sound does not hurt a dog's...

What to do with Jack???
Posted to: Training & Behavior
Jack (2 year old lab), as much as I love him, and as smart as I think that he is, has presented me with a little bit a training/behavior issue. He is *way* too food motivated. Most of his bad behaviors are food related. Nothing aggressive--interestingly enough, for as much as he likes food, he is not...

Prednisone puppy mom's please read
Posted to: Health & Grooming

So, is it OK for me to feed her MORE, since she wants it? I was originally told to feed her her regular...

Doggy stairs

I bought Tootsie some for the bed because she really shouldn't be jumping up ( about 3 ft.) and definitely not jumping down. My question is: How do I get her to use them?

How much Butter is too much butter?
Posted to: News & Entertainment
So ya, I got home from the hospital to a decently clean house. I was suprised. However, I noticed a margarine lid on the floor that had been chewed on. Not a huge deal since whoever did the chewing obviously hadn't been too bored or the lid would have been chewed into a million bits rather than just...

Is there a way to figure how many calories in a can of dog food if it doesn`t say it on the can? Example - Evanger`s Super Premium Duck & Sweet Potato Dinner. It doesn`t say on the can or on their web site or anywhere else that I have looked.

Monroe struck gold this morning
Posted to: News & Entertainment
As I went downstairs this morning I noticed that Monroe was looking quite smug and satisfied with himself while Morrison was dancing around as if he wanted something. This is all strange to start as DH and I were upstairs and they are usually up there with us. Monroe trotted by me and went to lie down...
