I must admit, I have gone three days without a shower. We were camping, and the shower house was a short distance from our camp site. The first day, I used the shower, and thought, it wasn't that bad, meaning using a public place,...

I work at a vets and all the time I see people bringing in their 'old' greyhounds to be bled before being euthanased. The problem is, these greyhounds are not old, they are usually only a few years old and are perfectly healthy...

If so, how often do you normally do it? We brush our dog's teeth about once a week. I use a finger brush and poultry flavored toothpaste and he doesn't seem to mind it at all. Some people think it's silly that we do this, but I...

emma412 No, I do not brush my dog's teeth. I never really thought about it until we got our new puppy and the vet told me we should be doing it. I keep meaning to buy some stuff for their teeth but everytime I am out, I forget. The vet said their teeth are just like...

snowy I try to brush my dogs teeths frequently. He eats soft food so he needs his teeth brushed frequently. It is not his favorite thing, but he doesn't try to run the other way either. I think he likes it better than taking a bath.

Or do you take your dog to the vet or groomer to have their nails trimmed? I am always so nervous that I am going to cut our dog's nails too short and cause him tobleed, so we cough up $16 every time he needs his nails trimmed and...

julievy They don't really like the dremel, but they tolerate it - especially when they see the Greenie sitting on the table and they know they get it when the grinding is done! I don't think the noise bothers them.

We are looking to adopt a dog maybe next spring. I don't want to pay a lot and I know there are good dogs out there that need homes. I am just worried having kids that we would end up with a dog that had problems. Any...

A friend of mine recently adopted a 1 year old German Shepherd. They told me that no-one locally had any shepheds available so they went to the shelter and found Trixie. I was wondering how many would consider adopting rather...

julievy We have 3 dogs, so it's too expensive to have the groomer or the vet trim the nails (not to mention that we're a long drive away from the vet or groomer and gas is expensive. I bought a dremel like tool that grinds the nails. Since it takes off such a thin...

theproperator That's pretty neat, I've never seen those! My dog has dark nails, so those would have come in handy. I've been cutting his nails for 4 years now, though, so I've pretty much got the hang of it.

ZephyrSun I trim them myself. I have a big baby that thinks I am killed him but I will not pay for someone to do what I am able to do. If your dog has clear nails you can see the line and where it ends, the vet told me that if you usually keep your dogs nails short then...

theproperator I cut my dogs nails myself when I give him a bath. He is such a good boy about the whole process. I have a set of nail clippers for dogs that have a little stop on them so you can't cut too too much off at once, in case the dog twitches at the wrong time. I...

mentalward I've had many dogs in my life and almost always cut them myself. I was always afraid to cut the black nails since you can't see the vein. But, at the moment, I have two Maltese who have all light nails so at least THAT part of it is easy. One of my babies...
