What pet is good for people with allergies?

I have a sister with allergies, and I really love animals and so does my sister, so what pet except cats and dogs are good to have when you, yourself has allergies?

Something like hairless rats and guinea pigs (though my dad dont like them).
We would like something easy, we have fishes, but my sister loves cuddling! Thanks, please no rude comments!

What are the by products in popular pet food?

I have read many articles whether they be fact or paranoia stating that the meat by products found in pet food is often cancerous organs of animals from human food facilities that are illegal to use for human consumption, or road kill, or even dead dogs and cats. Could a big company like fancy feast get away with this? I stay away from big name brands and only use holistic, natural food free of any bad ingredients but I’m concerned about this issue and why it’s happening and what is really in pet food.

The last "reported" number I saw was 16, but I think that is a bunch of crap!! My sister’s co-worker is probably going to lose his dog; the poor thing has been at the vet’s office for 5 days and isn’t getting better. My vet has lost 3 animals and another local vet has lost 2, so I figure if 5 pets are known to have died from this (within a 35-mile radius of me), the number has to be in the thousands nation-wide! And, no telling how many pets died from "unknown" causes before all of this hit the news. I think these pet food companies should come clean and tell us the truth! I feed her the Ol’Roy jerky treats they just recalled, and I am scared to death that my food (Little Cesar’s) is going to be next, even though they say not. (I’m overreacting I guess.) But, everytime I feed my miniature dachshund, Laci, I feel like I’m signing her death warrant! :(

Maybe, you just love animals or have a different type pet.
I have two cats now, Precious and Poptart, I used to have a dog but she died a while back.

I love animals, But I am getting sick of the smell in our living room. She thinks that its ok to clean out this cat box like whenever she feels like it. I have spoken to her several times and she doesn’t care. I even told her that its like she enjoys smelling cat crap and pee. What should I do? Why is this not a problem for her?

How to crate train my 7+ year old dog?

She a 7+ year old chihuahua mix. She is usually very good in the house alone but lately shes been peeing everywhere and ripping up the sofas. My mom wanted to put her outside but i refused because there are slugs and beetles and animals that are bigger than her. So I’m wondering if you have any tips for crate training an older dog

I am currently unemployed and in dire need of pet food for my animals. Are there any local organizations (fort worth) that could be of assistance?

Just wondering, because of questions where a person cannot afford to take their pet to a doctor.
Are there alternative, inexpensive options, such as government sponsored animals clinics, or NGOs?
What about shots, such as rabies? Are there places where you can take your pets to be vaccinated for free? Or spayed?
Just curious.
Thank you in advance for your answers.
