sidyboy Danes are really great dogs- and tend to really bond with their owners. There are a few issues that you should be aware of with danes though- Bloat is a risk with deep chested breeds such as danes. Bloat is basically when the stomach fills with gas and can...

Console me... I just sold my pups! I am a cruel master!

ebook_freak @ebook_freak (1511) • India 9 Jun 09

I couldn't help it. My dad was making such a fuss about my pups so I had to sell two of them... Well, let me tell you the story first. Shirley had her delivery barely a month ago. Four cute German Shepherd pups were born-the...

sidyboy Selling puppies at 4 weeks old is not good at all. Those puppies NEED their mother- they are not old enough to even eat regular food yet and should still be nursing! They also need the socialization with their mother and littermates or they're most likely...

sidyboy My big dog (Weimaraner) would just search someone for food if they broke in. My little dogs (Schnauzers) would alert me that there was someone here, and that is the only job I want them to do- they're my alarm system, I'm the armed response.

Whats wrong with my dog!

slarycn @slarycn (46) • China 12 Nov 08

I need help! My dog, Dutch, has always been super healthy. He's veryenergetic and has always had good weight. Lately I have noticed a decrease in his weight, but he's eating more than usual. He still has the same amount of energy...

sidyboy It could be many things, and I do believe the dog should see a vet. Parasites (worms) could cause it, as well as a thyroid disorder or even diabetes. A visit to the vet will give you the answer :)

Clipping Dogs Nails

Troublegum @Troublegum (641) • United States 12 Nov 08

How many of you clip your own dogs nails. I have two dogs, ones nails pretty much sort themselves out, but the Bassett Hound has monsterous nails that don't behave like normal nails. Traditionally people say that you cut nails...

sidyboy Nail trimming is very important, and the lenght of the nails should be checked on a regular basis to make sure they're not getting too long. Long nails can cause walking problems, and they can also get so long that they curl and actually grow into the dogs...

Do you ever see a dog being raped?

zoneday @zoneday (142) • Malaysia 10 Nov 08

sidyboy It's totally natural- and happens on a regular basis actually- not just with dogs, but with wild animals as well. There's no such thing as dinner and a movie and a nice courtship- it's wham, bam, see ya. Don't want it to happen to your dog? Spay her.

Obama and the 2d Admendment

redyellowblackdog @redyellowblackdog (10629) • United States 9 Nov 08

canned or dry food for dogs

andrusko @andrusko (49) • Croatia (Hrvatska) 10 Nov 08

What's your opinion, which food is better for dogs? Canned or dry food?

canned

dog food

dry

6 responses

sidyboy Dry food is better than canned. If your dog wont eat dry food- try switching to a better quality food or just adding a little bit of cottage cheese or canned dog food to it. Slowly give less and less of the canned food/cottage cheese until the dog just eats it...

Pet Food

ersmommy1 @ersmommy1 (12588) • United States 9 Nov 08

It is a choking hazard. stand guard as your pet chows down, and take the dish away as soon as he's done. This was actually a recommendation in a Baby proofing article I read. I think this is silly. Come on! I would put the food in...

Question for dog people - & if you aren't a dog person, let me know your thought

thedogshrink @thedogshrink (1266) • United States 9 Nov 08

Do you continue eating your food/drink if your dog sniffs or licks it? Do you purposely share food with your dog, like a lick for each of you from the ice cream? Do you think it is gross or OK? Or if it depends on the particular...

epilepsy in dogs.

sudalunts @sudalunts (5523) • United States 9 Nov 08

sidyboy I'm not sure what the temperatures are like where you're at, but here it's cold outside so we have the heat on- that tends to dry out a dogs skin more than usual. When you talk to your vet, ask about giving your dog a vitamin E supplement (get dosage from...
