I have a pitbull. Our family loves to eat chicken. I was wondering if i could feed my pitbull the chicken bones that is left behind. I tried and my dog actually ate it. Will it have any bad effect on my pitbull or not?

patri79 The raw meat making dogs more aggressive is just a myth started by people who feared dogs such as Pit Bulls. Raw meat can actually be good for dogs, the problem is that it can be contaminated so you have to be careful. If raw meat made dogs more aggressive,...

It's been almost 3 months now that my 9 month old son refuses to take a bottle. The pediatrician recommended that he have 23 to 32 oz./day. At this point I'm lucky if I can get 6 oz. in him. He just takes a little bit of the...

patri79 Did you just offer her the cup during the day? How did you get her to take it? My son just doesn't seem interested at all.

patri79 I need to figure out how to introduce a cup, he just doesn't seem interested at all. I'm trying to remember how I did it with my now 3 year old, but I have no clue =b!

patri79 I know what you're saying, I just wish he would get more milk, specially for the calcium and iron. But I do give him lots of yogurt, so that should help out a little.

patri79 You're right. He is growing (22 lbs. at 9 months) and the doc said that was a good sign, just to switch him to a different vitamin. So I guess I might just have to wait and see!

patri79 I never had this problem with my 1st son either, but no one child is the same, right? =) Thanks for the advice!

patri79 I thought that it might be the teething as well, but he's not showing any signs of teeth yet. My first son didn't get his 1st tooth until 13 months! I have him on the Dr. Brown bottles and they don't have a different nipple that I could use, unless I were to...

patri79 LOL, I know what you mean. One minute they have to drink their bottles and the next the docs don't want them to have any. I did try a sippy cup a little while back, but he was just not interested. I think I'm going to try the Nuby brand, I keep hearing alot...

I have a male 1 yr. Chihuahua who won't stop marking!! I really don't want to neuter him, and I've never had this problem with my big dogs, but I just can't get control of this situation. Any suggestions?

patri79 When I go to work I have to put my little Jens in a crate. If I didn't there would literally be pee all over my kitchen. But the thing is that he doesn't just mark if I'm not home, it's all the time, and on everything. He does have "friends." I have a Cane...

patri79 I have a total of 3 Chis and I know that since they're small they can't hold it in as long as my bigger dogs. But with my little guy, Jens, it's not that he has to go potty, he's actually marking, all over the place. Your female is still young, have you...

Hi, I need to check something with you experts. My longcoat chihuahua's longcoat is not extremely long like those you see of longcoat chihuahuas. Don't get me wrong, I am totally alright with it and in fact I find him extremely...

patri79 I have never noticed a big change in smell. But I can understand what you're saying about the whole ventilation thing. Anything would smell worse. I would give it a try, though. It works very quickly and after a little while you will not have to use the...
