My girlfriend and I picked up a stray kitten yesterday, she had been crying all night outside the apartment, no mother in sight and she cant be more than 4-5 weeks old. I had read Borax in carpets etc wont hurt the animals but kill any eggs or dormant fleas, but what to use on the kitten itself?

therapy dog. breeds. help?




hello, i have always wanted a therapy dog. i have two dogs now but one is a bit fearful of strangers after an accident she had when she was younger and got hit by a car. and the other one is getting older and has a temperament toward younger kids with high voices and other dogs. so i am looking into getting a younger dog (under a yr is tht good?) or a little puppy. i want to know which dog breeds are good for therapy dogs. and i know that it depends how they are raised and trained. but also how the breed is whether they are a family dog or not. so i would like to know which breeds are good with people, and get along with other animals, and that i will be able to train to be a good therapy dog. (i am okay with a little challenge in training, but nothing out of control.) and also what are the requirement for a therapy dog as far as getting along with ppl? and other dogs? and anything else?? thanks in advance!
i would like a medium – large+ breed. and i definately do plan on looking up more, this means alot to me. i just want sort of ideas to look into. thank you all.
rotten rotts… i know that they need to get along people and dogs, i put that in as example of my requirements..i was asking what else besides that.. i have trained my dogs and outer family dogs. i know how to train a dog with good ol obedience

Why buy IAMS while cat and dogs die?




I’ve asked a few questions on yahoo answers on the best cat/dog food and many of you say you’ve always fed your pet IAMS .. well i hope you change your mind.

Thank you,

And for those of you who still buy, why?
1. i dont know anyone diabetic

2. if you would READ the iams websites it shows where they had someone undercover work their for 9 months .. recording everything
PROPAGANDA??? TELL that to the owners of 100+ animals who passed away because of the recall .. INCLUDING MY PRECIOUS 2 YEAR OLD CAT. 1ST OFF, THEY HAVE TO GIVE A RESPONCE, NOT JUST IGNORE THE THREATS .. AND 2ND OFF WHAT? YOU THINK THEIR GOING TO ADMITT IT? LOL, NO.

AND IF THEY DID SHUT DOWN THAT PLANT IN 2003 LIKE THEY "SAID" .. ITS STILL HORRIBLE FOR YOUR ANIMALS .. WHICH BRINGS ME
BACK TO THE REEECALL!!
——-
WHO CARES if one website is for peta and the other isn’t .. IAMS is still doing those testing and IAMS is still harming animals .. need i remind you of the recall .. so its bad, either way.

I will be getting a small breed dog soon and I have been doing some research on dog foods. I would like to do the "home cooked" or "raw" food diet but I would like some more information on this.

-what are some recipes?
-can this be frozen to be used later(could I make all the meals for the week and freeze them)?
-how much does this cost?
-how much time does this take per day?
-How much should I feed the dog (also include how many times a day I should feed…keep in mind it is a small dog I would be cooking for)
-Would a raw food diet be better? (reasons why/recipes for this)…I would imagine that uncooked chicken would be bad…?( i know dogs are animals but they’re also domesticated)

I’ve looked into different kibbles and decided that Blue Buffalo would probably be best as it seems healthy, had good reviews, and is available at my local pet store…but I’m unsure of this as I would imagine that the raw/home cooked diet would be best
So a few questions I have about this are…

-would it be good to mix both the blue buffalo and the home cooked diet together (how much should I give of each)?
-If I was unable to give the home cooked meal would the Blue buffalo be ok for the week?
-what are your experiences with Blue buffalo (for small breeds)?

I want to feed what’s best for my dog but I also cannot afford to spend 60 dollars on a bag of dog food that will last me a month. (I did the math and blue buffalo should last me around 2.5 months for 30 dollars….plus I can get a discount on the food)

Please let me know your experiences for both and help me make the right choice for my dog

What made Iams pet food so good?




I have never bought it for our pets as I believe they are all made the same,needless to say i’m glad I didn’t.Our pets have all lived a long and healthy life without expensive food.I’m just curious why it’s so darn special when that company does cruel experaments on animals.

Is pet grooming a practical trade these days?




I am considering going to school for this. Will it be lucrative? I love animals and have worked with them for years.

What do they do with animals no one wants?

My guinea pig has bald spots and and im 99 percent sure it’s mites. But every vet i find wants to charge a fifty dollar exam fee so they can say "yep, it’s mites all right- here’s a bill for another 70 dollars worth of meds." Honestly that’s ridiculous and i don’t have enough money for that, so do any of you know a way i get get out of this money-sucking trap? A discount vet, or any kind of help in the Surprise or Phoenix Arizona area?

I love my pig, i don’t want to be the kind of pet owner that lets animals suffer, but i just can’t afford over a hundred dollars on something like this.

We do have a garage, but the weather is nice at the moment. But will other animals ‘bully’ our little bunny when she’s in her hutch at night? There are about 3 or 4 cats which roam around, but no dogs. Just my dad had a rabbit and he died – there was a dog wandering around near the cage and that’s what appears to have literally ‘scared’ her to death.

Any other tips on making our little bunny the happiest one ever are welcome :-) Thanks :-)
