Dogs and Puppies

mnvikes asked:


I know some designer dogs supposedly to have health problems, are shih-poos one of them or are they healthy? and yes, i know theyre a mut and i really dont care. for a pet, a mut is as good as a pure bred if not better so dont give me a lecture please
im trying to get edjumacted. i just seems that there are 2 very vocal sides to the issue. some say purebreds are better, others say mixes are better. what i didnt want is some bias ass hole like you to answer that whines and cries about mixing bloodlines. you sound like a piece of southern white trash or something

any advice is welcome, she’s acting very stiff, weak and slow now..one thing i am thinking of is brushing her teeth daily because i never did that before, the teeth are in terrible shape, so this may have had an effect on it

A Good Guy asked:


I have been advised that my partners dog seems to drink a lot of water and this could point to a health problem, probably diabetis. Is this the case?

ROADY asked:


Need to know if dogs killing, eating, or have an infested home with mice, be harmful to the health of your pet’s life.

I volunteer at the shelter 2-3 days per week, and I’ve made it my goal to take some of the more hyper, exciteable dogs out to the play yard and let them have some “free-running” time. This helps them learn to socialize with humans, and it also helps them burn off the excess energy that gets built up living in such close quarters.

The problem is, when we get out to the yard, we have no toys for them to play with. I don’t mean the expensive kind of dog toys. I mean, we don’t even have tennis balls to throw for them. NOTHING. The shelter is so over-wrought, all the funding and donations go for the basics… food, water, medical care, staffing… there’s no $$ for “extras” like toys.

I need some ideas for getting toys donated, or at a great discount, so the dogs can at least have something to fetch. Right now, all they have are rocks! I need names of charities to contact, even those philanthropists who give small sums to charities. Anything you can think of. Thanks!
I’ve asked PetSmart, which is the only store close to us, and they said they send monetary donations to the national Humane Society. Unfortunately, our shelter doesn’t get their donation directly
I would ask Walmart, but they’ve been so generous to us recently, I’d feel bad going to them asking for more. Someone stole one of the cash boxes at one of our remote adoption centers at a PetSmart store (over $1000!), and when Walmart heard about it, they sent us a check to cover the stolen amount.

my fiance just put up a huge dog run in the back of the house for our 2 pit bull dogs, one being a year and a half the other 4 1/2 months. i do not plan on leaving them in there for long periods of time, or when im not home, but i would appreciate any ideas for toys they can play with which they are in there and that can stay out in the run. thanks!
