jmcruz No it won't work. Take her to the vet, get her an exam and then get an x-ray to see how many puppies are in there. Then research about what to expect during her pregnancy and birthing process. Its different than for humans and if you've never been through it...

jmcruz If he likes treats, start by getting him to just come into the bathroom with you and give him lots of praise and treats when he's in the bathroom. After a few days of that, start putting him in the tub (don't turn the water on) and give him treats and LOTS of...

jmcruz He might have a food allergy. I would try fasting him from food for a day, then starting him on a bland diet of rice and cottage cheese for 3 days. He will probably have diarrhea since the bland diet is very soft and high in fiber, don't be freaked out about...

jmcruz The hair inside the golden retriever's ears is typically longer than many other dogs. Cocker spaniels have this issue also. That hair locks in moisture which in turn, breeds bacteria. The vinegar you are putting in his ears probably stings. You can try some...

Which do you prefer to give your cats? I prefer dry for mine.

jmcruz It depends on your cats health. Younger cats (older than 6 months) benefit from dry food as it helps their teeth develop and as they get older, the dry food helps keep their teeth clean. However, if a cat has dental problems, dry food can be painful and make...
