How to litter box train a kitten?

We want to get a cat, but have only owned dogs. I think dogs are really hard to potty train, but we know how to do it. What about cats though? How do you train them. I mean, with puppies, if they pee somewhere they’re not supposed to you scold them… if they pee where they’re supposed to, you praise them and give them a treat.

How would I litter box train a cat? And how can I keep my house from smelling like it? Good brands?

My boyfriend and I want to make our dog’s pregnancy as comfortable as possible. We want to build her a very large crate to be in with her puppies after their birth. She is a red nosed pit bull and is fairly large. We are also considering simply building a barricade and giving her a small section of our room. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

She just had the puppies. They r probably a lil over a week old and she is starting to take certain dogs and move them out of the dog house and place them in different spots in the yard. I was wondering why.

Hi,
I put the natures miracle bottle on the ground after using it and it usually leaks on the bottle. I turned around and found my puppy licking the bottle. Is it bad for puppies???

Hello, I have other questions about best dry dog food..
However, I did not clarify on what I’m looking for..

I want to a grain, soy, wheat, corn, by products, artificial flavor etc etc FREE product. I know grain is not necessarily a bad ingredient but I’m not not sure why there’s grain free product also.

I have a 6 months old Yorkie/Pomeranian – who is being fed Solid Gold – Hund-n-Flocken Puppy- Lamb Flavored. After debating over Solid Gold and Blue Buffalo – I found a new location for Pet Food at warehouse prices rather than going to Petco or Petsmart. (Pet Club)

I saw coupons of 10$ off of Blue which would be around 37$ for a 30LB bag. I really wanted to try the Fish Flavored but unfortunately the puppy brand only carries lamb for Blue… (I do not feed my pup Beef or Chicken), that’s when I came across Solid Gold sitting right next to Blue for only 39.99$ for a 33lb bag(came to be around 42 with tax). I heard a lot about Solid & wasn’t sure whether Solid or Blue was better because Blue is also a very good brand..

I went ahead and bought the lamb flavored with many other stuff in it that are good for dogs & i believe fish is involved in this? I heard fish is really good for dog’s health & coat & the blue didn’t offer fish for puppies.

Down to my main question, I know which top brands there are such as evo, orijen, acana, cannidae etc etc but they are too high in protein and are for highly active or athletic dogs.

In conclusion, I want to know which dry dog food is best for moderately active or nonathletic small breeds?? For adult dogs because by the time I finish the solid gold puppy, i believe my puppy will be an adult. Thanks.
My puppy has tried Avoderm, Blue and Solid.

She likes them all – lamb flavored..

What type of meat are good for dogs? Besides lamb? ( I don’t feed my dogs beef or chicken – I also have a 3 year old chihuahua on Avoderm Adult – lamb – but she eats the puppy food from solid too )

I did like Avoderm but they’re just ok so I switched ( not going back to it )
I forgot to mention that the reason I am picky when it comes to dog food is because I want something best for my dog’s health & coat since my Yorkie/Pomeranian is said to be an average shedder due to being mixed with Pomeranian. (she has no signs in shedding, probably just a few hair once in awhile)

I do not want my dogs to shed & I have read that to have them not shed or not shed as much is to have them be healthy & most importantly dog food plays a role in that.

So dog foods that helps the coat, best tasting, free from all the unwanted ingredients is a win-win situation.

However, I don’t always want to feed them the same type of meat flavored.. But will not resort to chicken & beef..
—————— FORGET THE ABOVE ——————

Ok, at this local pet store I go to, prices are unbelievable cheap.
There’s an isle in this pet store where most of the good brands are at. Solid Gold right next to Blue to Taste of the Wild, right across from it is Wellness, Merrick. etc. Surprisingly Solid Gold is the cheapest of them all.

The reason I don’t want beef or chicken is because I’ve read where dogs are prone to be more allergic to chicken & beef than other types of meat. I don’t know if that’s true, however I just want higher quality meat content rather than just chicken or beef.

I know shedding is genetic, however feeding them right will help them shed less. (as I have read) & using the right shampoo & just being healthy.

—————

I just want to know which formula is best,, easy digestive, great coat, no soy, corn, etc etc. 4-5 star brand food that is great for moderately active small breeds..

& which meat content is great for long term feeding. I hav

What are the best Puppy toys?

What are the best toys to get a puppy (8 weeks) that she’ll love to play with, but won’t rip apart in a matter of days? I have already purchase a Kong toy and that seems to be the favorite of most dog toys. Are tight rope toys ok for puppies and what about soft cuddly toys?

I just read the answers to the question a lady posted about her 4-week-old puppies having Parvo. First, I want to say how sorry I am that this happened. Can anyone tell what the names of the diseases are that mimic Parvo, especially the one that can show positive on a Parvo test? Also, what additional tests are necessary to determine if your puppy has Parvo or the imitator and how do the treatments differ? I would be especially interested in answers vets or their assistants can give to this question.
