bj woodruff asked:


am i the only one who thinks dogs are teated like carp or is their this group or something cause i think they are living things and they should be teated like humans not crap

Rene C asked:


We are having a hard time finding a top-quality dog food in the stores. I’d hate to have to mail-order our dog food with such high prices on fuel right now. Does anyone have any recommendations on a pet store chain that actually carries good quality dog food? Petco just doesn’t have anything good. Iams, Purina, Science Diet, all of those are full of grains, which are bad for the dogs. Help!

Amanda asked:

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.

With the recent trouble with Michael Vick and his involvement in dog fighting rings, the subject of animal cruelty is on everyone’s minds as of late. But the great unspoken is how animals such as pigs, cows, ducks, and chickens are treated in your basic food processing plants; from cows’ throats being slashed, to ducks being forcefed with a tube down their throat. If dog fighting is a felony offense, then why do major food processing corporations continue to administer their own brand of animal cruelty? Who decided that dogs have more rights than other animals?
If your response is to point out the fact that animals in food processing plants are for food, and therefore the treatment is acceptable, I then ask you this: If dogs were considered food, would it then be acceptable?

Im planning on picking up a German Shepherd that was found as a stray and they took her to the Animal Control shelter which is horrible. Not to mention another word is Death Row. Nobody knows about this place, and the only reason I found it was because I was looking for my lost dogs. Anyway my parents adopted 2 last week and I have one indoors + an older cat. Does it seem like to much to have 3 big dogs outside? 1 inside and a cat to top it off?

Steve asked:


My gf’s chihuahua gave birth to three puppies about 5 weeks ago. We have been taking good care of them, but I am told they need their shots. What kind, how many, and how much should it cost? I suppose I am trying to get away with the bare minimum and the puppies still be ok.

littlefurballs asked:


My dog and two cats are like my children. I will do and spend whatever I can so they are in the best health and live a long time with us. However, vet bills are really expensive so I am thinking about getting pet insurance. Does anyone have any experience in this area and are able to shed light on which programs provide good coverage?
