Poodle
Sheri E asked:


I live in Brazil and plan on the dog staying there. Please answer this only with serious answers. I would like to know how much it costs for the airline to transport a pet. I am up to date on his vaccinations. Does anyone know a ballpark price? I wonder if it is worth it? He is a miniature toy poodle.

Aneleh asked:


I have 2 cats and three dogs. One night, I ran out of cat food (the dry type) and my cats were hungry. So since I had dog food only and the shops were closed, I gave them dog kibbles. They’re more or less of the same shape and size and are made of the same ingredients – chicken. My cats took a nibble and refused the rest of the bowl, preferring to go hungry than eat dog food. The next day, i got them a fresh pack of made-for-cats kibbles and they immediately dived in and ate up. How come my cats knew what I gave them wasn’t cat food?

I also know of dogs that won’t eat cat food for the long run (not mine though, cos they’re pigs and will eat anything).

It would be good if a pet food manufacturer can answer this question. Is there some special ingredient you put in cat and dog food that makes cats and dogs know which kibbles is who’s? Also, nowadays, dogs are eating fish too – like salmon. You can’t say it’s the ingredient. How come they know the difference?

Shih Tzu
Brie asked:


The bulldog is 150lbs and I am afraid he will hurt my Shih Tzu. They have been living together for 7 months now and still the shih tzu does not like the bigger dog. Does anyone know why or what I can do to make him stop growling and biting.

puppies
Amber Lowery asked:


One of the first hings you do with a new puppy is get your new puppy potty trained. Thankfully, potty training your puppy doesn’t have to be that hard. This article will show you some tips on potty training your puppy.

First, you need to understand that puppies are like babies and they simply make mistakes because they don’t know better and can’t understand their urges. Your puppy doesn’t mean to ruin your good carpet; he simply doesn’t know that he has to go potty.

A puppy’s ability to feel the urge to go potty develops as they age, much like children. You can help your puppy potty train faster by developing a schedule for your puppy to follow. Take the puppy out to go potty at the same times every day to allow the puppy to become accustomed to a schedule.

Especially if you are not always home during the day, you can expect there to be accidents while you puppy is potty training. You can help minimize the mess by putting down newspapers for the puppy to relieve himself on, but it will take additional training for the puppy to know this is for emergencies. When accidents happen, don’t get angry – just clean up and disinfect the area.

You can learn to notice some of the signs that your puppy needs to be taken out for a potty trip. When you see your puppy acting up in a certain way, it may be time to take them out to relieve themselves.

Here are some signs that a puppy needs to go potty:

* Showing Restlessness
* Sniffing at a spot they had previously soiled
* Puppy is Whimpering and wining
* Puppy is distracted from play

As each puppy is different, you will soon learn to recognize the signs in your dog. When your puppy starts to show this potty signal it is time to take them out for a walk and direct them to go in the place you want them to use.

When your puppy does good, remember to praise him. Praise displays to the puppy that they have done the right thing and will make them happy to do it again to seek more praise.

Although potty training your puppy can be dificult, it is just a matter of being consistent and patient with your new puppy long enough for their minds and bladders to mature and train. With patience and time, your puppy will potty train and accidents will be a problem of the past.

I have to move into an apartment that won’t take my 9year old dog. I love him dearly and don’t want him put down. I tried The Golden Retriever Rescue League but they aren’t giving me much hope. Any other suggestions? I need help fast. I was depending on the rescue league.
