Maybe's spay went well yesterday - she's acting kind of tentative, which is good thing to do when healing, I think. Not her regular "balls to the walls" attitude. She gets chicken for dinner. I also had her hips checked for OFA submission, checking the box that said the result would be...

Is it a bad idea for two dogs to share a water dish? is this unhealthy or ok? (they do have separate food dishes) THANKS!

Okay, so giving our shih tzu Frankie his nightly full-body massage last night, I noticed on his front paw (around where our wrists might be) a knotty lump, pretty small, which I'm thinking is just a pimple of some sort. It doesn't look like a bite, its not red or oozing or anything. Frankie...

Has anyone experienced any downside to freezing bags of kibble? Natura has changed their formulation of Cal Nat (the food which has helped keep Rocky seizure-free for 5 years), so I'm buying as many bags as I can find, which is only four so far. I've been in communication with Natura and they...

My dog is a 30lb Corgi/Boston Terrier mix. She is overweight. She currently eats one can of Science Diet adult/senior dog food a day, half in the AM, half in the PM. Everyone tells me that Science Diet is full of fillers that are keeping her fat, and she needs to switch to another dog food. I...

I have her on Rimadyl 100mg per day, but it does not seem to be doing much anymore. Molly limps all the time from being stiff and cries...

Especially you, Buglady. I did as you suggested; I sat down with him and talked to him about the move, (I don't mind telling you I felt more than just a bit silly.) I made sure the two of us were alone. :) I took him in the bedroom and shut the door with just the two of us and talked to him about...
