I bought my son a then four-month old male miniature poodle several weeks before this past Christmas. The puppy is very cute, but he is kind of aggressive in the sense that he growls and bites a lot. He is also extremely stubborn. I’ve been told that neutering him will remedy these ill behaviors, but I wanted to hear from some people who know more than I do about dogs before having the puppy neutered.

i just got a little husky puppy and she seems to be teething, chewing table legs, the sofas, chair legs, and my other dog. we got her rawhide bones today but they were a bit expensive. do you people use specific rawhide bones or is it just any brand? also im going to need to get ones small enough for the puppy, and i guess another size for my adult golden retriever.
btw i have read its bad to give your dogs rawhide bones, do you believe this or is it okay to give them to the dogs?

thanks!

I’m searching for an extra wide baby or pet gate to seperate our kitchen and living room. 81 1/2 inch wide opening. I can’t use any mesh because of our 3 dogs and I’d prefer something with a swing door. Anyone have any ideas? I’d prefer not to spend a ton, but I’ve got a feeling I’ll end up going of 0 dollars. Any and all ideas are appreciated. Thanks in advance!

I have 3 dogs. 2 chihuahuas & a Shar Pei. My chihuahuas are really healthy and never have problems, but they are 10 years old. My Shar Pei has ongoing health issues. Would pet health insurance be worth it? I have no idea what they cover or options.

My vet likes to answer "myths" about pet health and I was wondering if you guys had any?

For example:
Dogs eat poop because their diet is lacking nutrition.
Cats eat grass because they are sick.
Use oil for mange. (btw oil is toxic)
Cats get fat once they are "fixed."
Dawn Dishsoap kills fleas.
etc.

Thanks, and have fun!

So I have a 7 week old Great Dane and he is good for the most part, but is going through the biting stage. I realize that I took him from the litter a couple weeks early and am planning on taking him to puppy classes soon. My question is I have a 6 year old golden retriever and my Dane chews and nips him like hes a toy constantly! I have been letting him do this so my golden can sometimes snap at him and let him know he bites too hard and I want him to be comfortable playing with dogs. Am I encouraging bad behavior? I don’t think I could stop him if I tried, he loves playing with him and my golden doesnt mind much…usually just walks away. Should I stop it when they start to play rough or let them go? I kind of rely on my golden to show the pup some good habits.

Everyone is telling me to get ‘science diet’ for my dogs, but is kinda more expensive I want to know if is really as good or if it makes a big difference compared to other dog food brands-
If it’s not – I would like some recommendations/suggestions.
