Our dog has just had a skin graft done on her lower leg after a car accident, can anyone tell me how long it will take for her hair to grow back both on her higher back leg and on the lower leg where the graft took place, Thank you so much in advance for your answers. Regards BB

Please can anyone tell me how long it takes for a dogs hair to grow back after it has been shaved for an op?

Hi.normal shaved hair will start to grow back almost straight away and by about two months ,you will hardly be able to tell it had been shaved unless it is a very long coated dog ,but as for the graft am not too sure but I would expect it to take some time longer to grow back,I hope this is of some help regards linda.

Please can anyone tell me how long it takes for a dogs hair to grow back after it has been shaved for an op?

About the same time as yours if you had the same done.

Please can anyone tell me how long it takes for a dogs hair to grow back after it has been shaved for an op?

it grows back rather quickly you will start seeing a little hair within 1 or 2 weeks

Please can anyone tell me how long it takes for a dogs hair to grow back after it has been shaved for an op?

The hair may never grow back, grafting takes the hair particles along with the skin that is taken. If by some chance it should be about a year or so give or take a few months. GOOD LUCK you must love your dog very much!

Please can anyone tell me how long it takes for a dogs hair to grow back after it has been shaved for an op?

We shaved a spot on my dog when he came to me fromt he shelter with ringworm. It was at least 4 months before the hair FULLY grew back and then another couple months for the colors to blend together. The shaved spot was right in the middle of his back though, not his leg.

Please can anyone tell me how long it takes for a dogs hair to grow back after it has been shaved for an op?

within a week u will feel some fuzz and then by second week hair will look more grown in. by third week hair will start blending in. my dogs have had surgeries and they all had similar hair growths

Please can anyone tell me how long it takes for a dogs hair to grow back after it has been shaved for an op?

couple months, depending on the surgery site

Please can anyone tell me how long it takes for a dogs hair to grow back after it has been shaved for an op?

my dog had an operation at the end of november also on his leg, and now you can barely even tell where the operation was, and even then i can only tell because i know what his leg looked like beforehand. my dog is a short haired dog though, so will probably take a bit longer depending on what kind of dog it is

Looking for an artist with the intials A.I W.? paints horse and dog scenes, early 20th century?

Brown lean horse in columed stall with one little white terrier type dog and on dark brown long hair dashhound type dog.

Looking for an artist with the intials A.I W.? paints horse and dog scenes, early 20th century?

I had an idea, but the middle initial is throwing me off. You could try Andrew Wyeth, but his middle initial is N. Is there any way the "I" is wrong? Wyeth was a 20th century artist who painted a lot of rural scenes, which included horses and dogs, though none (that I know of) with the two together.

Should I cut the hair off the bottom of my dogs feet?

2009-10-07T04:11:00.002-07:00

I am going to give my dog a bath today, cut his nails, etc. He has long hair %26amp; the hair on the bottom of his feet between his pads is long. I live in the north east %26amp; we have snow %26amp; cold weather. The hair on his feet gets frozen when he goes out %26amp; he slips when he comes in. I don't know whether the hair protects his feet or hinders them?

Should I cut the hair off the bottom of my dogs feet?

Dogs need the hair on the bottom of their feet for when they go outside. It might seem unnecessary top you, but your dog really enjoys it!

Should I cut the hair off the bottom of my dogs feet?

i would definitly tske him to a groomer and get them to do it, or ask the vet to see what he would suggest.

Should I cut the hair off the bottom of my dogs feet?

he's fine leave his hair alone

Should I cut the hair off the bottom of my dogs feet?

Yes, cut it flush with the pads if you can. Practice handling his feet before you bring out the (scary) scissors. Talk to him, and give him a treat afterwards (or after each foot).

Should I cut the hair off the bottom of my dogs feet?

Yes, I would cut that hair on the bottom of feet. The hair in between the pads protects the feet. Just cut the hair that grow past the pads and this will ind the slipping and snow that get stuck to feet. This is what we do at the grooming shop and I also do this to my 2 dogs as well. Hope this helped.

Should I cut the hair off the bottom of my dogs feet?

Yes,if your dog goes out in the snow,your are supposed to cut the hair that sticks out between his toes,just for that reason,because it freezes.

Should I cut the hair off the bottom of my dogs feet?

no cut it off. the hair will just trap things in it and bother his pads. my cavalier king charles spaniel gets his shaved off. its a lot easier. but you just got to make sure you have the right blade cause that would be really bad if you cut his pad on accident. but the blade we use cant hurt his pads. it also helps them fro slipping all over. he could get ice,dirt,little rocks and stuff stuck in there. good luck!

Should I cut the hair off the bottom of my dogs feet?

It won't hurt him to cut off the excess hair on the bottom of the feet. In fact trimming hair on feet is good because of the reason you stated (ice stuck on it) they can also get burrs in there too. Don't cut all the hair off. Just enough to where it's even with the pads. His feet will fare better in the long run and he'll probably be more comfortable without getting so much ice stuck to the long hairs.

Should I cut the hair off the bottom of my dogs feet?

You can and should trim the hair around the pads, just be sure to use blunt end scissors, to avoid any accidental nip of the pad or the thin skin between the toes. This should be a regular part of the grooming of the feet. It also cuts doen on dirt being tracked into the house.

Should I cut the hair off the bottom of my dogs feet?

I also have a breed that has long hair growing between the toes and on the bottoms of the feet. It is necessary for you to trim this hair. It isn't good for him to be slipping and sliding around and having all that wet matted hair on his feet is not healthy for him. It can be the cause of foot fungus and irritation.

It is best to use blunt nosed, curved blade scissors for trimming the hair on the feet. You can take the hair from between the toes and pull it up to the top of the toes and trim it off even with the top of the foot. The hair on the bottom should be trimmed even with the bottom of the foot. Many people use the mustache trimmers to do the feet on their dogs. This makes the job a lot easier though it will take a bit of time to get your dog used to the buzzing of the trimmer. It will also lessen the chance of your nicking the pad when you are trimming the hair.

Should I cut the hair off the bottom of my dogs feet?

You can but id advice you pay a Groomer or a vet to do it

Should I cut the hair off the bottom of my dogs feet?

I also live in the snow/cold Northeast and I cut the hair on the bottom of my 3 dogs paws between groomer visits. Anything, twig, stone, etc, can get caught in the hair and aggravate/irritate the paw pads. Also, when I bundle them up and take them for a walk, it's easier to wash their paws when we get back home, which is necessary to clean out any rock salt, antifreeze, or whatever else they may have stepped in. Once my little one began hopping on 3 legs during one of our walks this past summer. I carried her back home and lo' and behold I found a tiny sliver of wood stuck between her paws. The kind of wood people use for landscaping. Keep the hair cut to the pad level.

Should I cut the hair off the bottom of my dogs feet?

you can trim the hair between the pads but be very careful not to cut the pad. my dogs (Cavaliers) also have long hair between the pads and they do tend to slip on floors sometimes. i live in snow country and snow does get stuck in the hair between pads. i use clippers but i have used scissors.

the hair does not protect the pads. i had one dog that was limping last summer and in checking the feet i found a glob of pine pitch in the hair with a pebble stuck in it. the poor dog still limped for a couple days after i removed it.

Should I cut the hair off the bottom of my dogs feet?

you shoudn't cut it..its not wise...if you do want to get it cut, get it done professionally

Should I cut the hair off the bottom of my dogs feet?

The pads protect his feet. The hair is just bothering him. We have the same problem with 3 out of our 5 dogs. We live in western Ma, so cut his hair off his feet.

Should I cut the hair off the bottom of my dogs feet?

If your dog has hair that is growing from between his pads, then I would advise carefully removing it. (iwth scissors)- the hair covers the pads and can reduce traction.

Who knew that beefaroni stained? my dog got into it now her hair is stained. How do i get it out?

2009-10-07T04:11:00.001-07:00

Try Dawn diswashing liquid. It will get the greasy orange color out of her. Doesn't have to be any of the special kinds just regular all purpose Dawn.

Who knew that beefaroni stained? my dog got into it now her hair is stained. How do i get it out?

try a little peroxide. If that doesn't work try rubbing beefaroni all over her to even it out and she can be a new color. How exciting!!

Who knew that beefaroni stained? my dog got into it now her hair is stained. How do i get it out?

Old fashioned DIAL bar soap - it gets everything out.

Who knew that beefaroni stained? my dog got into it now her hair is stained. How do i get it out?

I would call a groomer and ask what they would use to get the stain out. Don't try anything too harsh as it could burn the dogs skin. You might want to just shampoo every couple of days until it fades. The dog grooming itself will probably lighten it up also.

My dog doesn't stain himself, but he has stained the carpet and a blanket with red-colored treats! Now I only give him more natural treats that don't have any dyes in them.

Who knew that beefaroni stained? my dog got into it now her hair is stained. How do i get it out?

What is your dog's original color? If it's white or close to it try using a blueing shampoo. It will help take out the orange/yellow color.

Who knew that beefaroni stained? my dog got into it now her hair is stained. How do i get it out?

It's a tomato stain. Try a vinegar rinse! It shouldn't hurt the dog, and if you rinse well afterwards, the smell of the vinegar will fade quickly. It also works well on clothes as a fabric softener that is easier on the skin than Downy or Bounce.

The peroxide that was already mentioned is also a safe, probably effective method.

Who knew that beefaroni stained? my dog got into it now her hair is stained. How do i get it out?

Work a little baking soda with regular pet shampoo on the stained area

and rinse well.

Throw the those crappy treats in the trash!

Part 2 how to stop my dog from shedding?

Sounds like you don't really want a dog. Dogs require care and training and exercise and grooming. If you're not up for that, why don't you find her a good home and get your life back. You and the dog will both be better off.

brush him/her everyday to remove loose hair. they really shed in the summer to be cooler.There are also certain food and virtamins that are good for their coat. ask your vet.Do not shave the hair off, it protects the skin.

Part 2 how to stop my dog from shedding?

Talk to your vet to see if she is shedding excessively for her breed. If so he may be able to give her some meds to slow it down.

As far as her timidity goes, just give her lots of love and tell her how good she is using your "pleased-with-her" voice. She will either gain confidence and lose the timidity with your encouragement as she gets older, or not.

Part 2 how to stop my dog from shedding?

it sounds like you have got your hands full. i agree with the answer of going to the vet and talking with him/her. they are some of the most knowledgeable people. you may also want to talk to a groomer about how to keep the dogs hair healthy and its skin also. as far as the timidness goes, you will need to work slowing and patiently with her to works through that. i would not suggest harsh discipline of any sort but loving hands and good nature. try finding a socialization or obedience class you can get involved in. this will let her know that she can trust you and the situations you put her in. hope this information helps! i attached a website that has helped me before. maybe you can fing more info here

Part 2 how to stop my dog from shedding?

Some dogs just shed. Welcome to the wonderful world of dog shedding!

There is no way to completely stop your Pet from shedding, but you can do things to reduce the amount of hair.

Dogs can shed more when they get excited, nervous, or hot. Sometimes they shed more if they are on a poor diet.

Check your food and make sure you have your baby on a high quality food diet.

Brushing daily will help wonders with the hair. Some people think of clipping Pets to reduce shedding but it doesn't reduce shedding.

If you clipped the Pet, they still shed, they just shed short little shaved hairs.

Hope this helps!

Part 2 how to stop my dog from shedding?

Brush them regularly, put them on a good diet. Poor nutrition can lead to excess shedding.

Part 2 how to stop my dog from shedding?

You can't stop a dog from shedding it's a natural thing. If you didn't want a dog that shed you shouldn't have gotten a breed that sheds. To me it sounds as if you really don't want this dog...you should have thought about that in the beginning...the only help that I can give you is to suggest the animal shelter for the poor dog and that you maybe buy a fish.

African American women hair loss......?

2009-10-07T04:10:00.003-07:00

i have been sheading hair like a dog. Its EVERYWHERE. I am only 22yrs old! What can I do?

African American women hair loss......?

If you perm your hair, stop. Also, if you dont brush your hair every day, it could just be the dead hair that wasn't removed from pervious days. You lose 100 strands of hair every day. What I usually do is deep condition my hair once every week and keep it moisturized. Don't use those hardining gels (Pro-Style for example) because they dry the hell out your hair. Last thing, I can't remember the name of it, but if you go to the African-American hair section in stores, the have these jars of anti-breakage creme (There's a black chick with long reddish hair on the label) that you can use. It is light, smells good, it's inexpensive, and works very well.

African American women hair loss......?

I'm wayyy younger than that and I don't lose as much as you seem to but I do lose hair. I asked my stylist and she says that usually when black women lose hair its because of chemical damage.

If you have ever colored your hair, gotten a perm, or even apply lots of heat to your hair,it could result in breakage.

Simple things like stopping the use of hair color can save your hair. Make sure your perms are done properly and on time. Don't wait to long and not to soon because that causes TONS of breakage. If heat is your problem, switch to a ceramic one. They are easier on your hair and make breakage minimal .

An easier way is to simply keep your hair moist. Apply olive oil hair lotions and grease to your hair and massage it into your scalp. Keep the front braided as often as possible and make sure the back (where breakage is usually worst) is always brushed down and hair combed out.

Hope I helped.

African American women hair loss......?

Relaxing? Stop. Those chemicals are probably killing already dead hair cells. Try wearing protective hair styles (not too tight braids, wigs, no glue weaves, etc) for a few months. Also it may be time to switch hair products. Don't use products with alcohol in them and make sure you deep condition at least once a month.

Are you drinking plenty of water? Drink more.

The only thing I use on my hair is Shea Butter, using more than three products at a time can be more damaging than helpful.

Do you find that people who equate dogs to humans usually TREAT HUMANS no better than a dog?

2009-10-07T04:10:00.002-07:00

It has been my observation. They also usually have pretty poor hygiene and smelly homes full of animal hair.

Is a dog worth jail time?

Do you find that people who equate dogs to humans usually TREAT HUMANS no better than a dog?

What are you talking about. Usually people that respect animals respect all life.

You aren't making sense.

Do you find that people who equate dogs to humans usually TREAT HUMANS no better than a dog?

Absolutely not. I'm an animal lover and probably smell better than most people. I have 5 animals (3 chinchillas, 1 rabbit, and a dog). It's a lot of work, but I keep cages and the yard VERY clean. I know people who don't like animals who have dirty homes and look homeless. Many pet owners are caring enough to take in animals, which is a lot of responsibility and dedication.

You must consider that many people who have tons of animals have mental disorders. They're not completely there, so you cannot compare them to a sane human being.

Do you find that people who equate dogs to humans usually TREAT HUMANS no better than a dog?

Sometimes people do treat animals with more care and concern than humans. Think of people who are all over animal rights, but then support abortion. Priorities anyone?

Do you find that people who equate dogs to humans usually TREAT HUMANS no better than a dog?

huh?

Not sure I understand what you're asking.

Dogs are dogs, humans are humans... I've seen people who are very into dogs who are neatniks and others who are slobs. I think, as with most anything, there are all sorts.

And what the heck does it have to do with jail time?

Do you find that people who equate dogs to humans usually TREAT HUMANS no better than a dog?

Well you aren't a dog person are you? It's fine..if you don't like dogs or animals you shouldn't have them.

Usually have smelly homes with animal hair all over? You either don't get out much or don't know many people with animals......

Do you find that people who equate dogs to humans usually TREAT HUMANS no better than a dog?

Just the opposite...people who are able to treat dogs humanely are often the most compassionate toward fellow human beings as well. You should try it sometime.

Do you find that people who equate dogs to humans usually TREAT HUMANS no better than a dog?

No. I do not find that to be true. In fact, I find that people that treat their pets poorly do not respect other people either.

And I don't understand the jail comment at all.

Do you find that people who equate dogs to humans usually TREAT HUMANS no better than a dog?

People who respect animals the right way know how to treat People the right way.

People who Mistreat animals also Mistreat Humans.

Do you find that people who equate dogs to humans usually TREAT HUMANS no better than a dog?

I have never understood people who treat or consider an animal equal to a child or other human.

Do you find that people who equate dogs to humans usually TREAT HUMANS no better than a dog?

I can honestly say that I prefer dogs over most people, and that's because some people aren't worth a damn. My dog is loyal, loving, and a good companion. He's never lied to me or stabbed me in the back. Is a dog worth jail time? Um....are dogs illegal?

I am fit, attractive, bathe daily, and my house is clean. Ever heard of a vacuum?

Do you find that people who equate dogs to humans usually TREAT HUMANS no better than a dog?

I would like for some people to treat me as good as they treat their dogs. Poor Hygiene and smelly homes??? I don't know where you've been! If you don't like people that have animals stay away from them. I'm sure they would appreciate it.

Is a dog worth jail time? As in Michael VIck? Yep. You don't treat helpless, innocent animals the way that piece of crap did.

I wish him more than jail time. I wish him hell on earth for the rest of his sorry life and when he dies I wish his a horrible death. THen he will meet his maker to decide what to do with

horrible excuse for a human being.

Do you find that people who equate dogs to humans usually TREAT HUMANS no better than a dog?

Think through your question carefully before you submit it for answers. If your question is badly written like in this case then you will get all sorts of answers from people trying their best to understand what you are asking about .

Most people treat their dogs well. They also treat others and themselves well.

Some people neglect their dogs. They are likely to neglect others, their homes and even themselves.

I don't think dogs feel like they are in jail. They are just happy to be living with people. Otherwise they would be in the wild hunting for their food.

Just happen that I have been thinking about the lifes of dogs and thanks for the chance to answer your "question".

Do you find that people who equate dogs to humans usually TREAT HUMANS no better than a dog?

I treat my animals just like my children and all people, with love and respect. Yes, I do have to vacuum just about everyday and I also bathe EVERYDAY and my home smells very nice and clean. I would not change a thing. As far as doing jail time for a dog...not sure what you mean by that question. I will say this though, there is absolutely nothing that I would not do for my pets.

Do you find that people who equate dogs to humans usually TREAT HUMANS no better than a dog?

There are all kinds of people in this world. So, of course there will be some people who treat dogs better than they treat humans...Paris Hilton for example. And to your question, "Is a dog worth jail time?" makes me think you're referring to poor Michael Vick or some other animal related law you don't agree with. The answer is simply yes. Dog fighting and neglect is illegal for a reason. Why? Because most of feel it isn't right to unnecessarily subject animals to forced fighting or failures to provide adequate food, shelter, water and care. If you don't want the responsibility, don't have a pet!

Wild dogs fight among themselves to create their hierarchy which is for the good of the pack. That's where their fighting ends. Other than that, domestic dogs fight because those humans don't provide the dog with what they need. If you were locked in the house or a kennel all day, you'd eventually get frustrated and lash out too. Take your poor excuse for an argument someplace else.

Do you find that people who equate dogs to humans usually TREAT HUMANS no better than a dog?

Really? Who have you been observing, exactly? People who collect dogs like knickknacks? Not every animal lover has a house filled with animals and not every animal lover is a slob. Honestly, you need to reevaluate these observations of yours. Poor hygiene and messiness are usually the results of being lazy and/or not being raised in a clean home, not loving animals.

I don't treat my dogs like people nor do I think of them as people -- a dog is a dog. And like the living, breathing entity it is, I'll treat it with respect and kindness.

Is a dog worth jail time?

Absolutely not. Abusing and torturing any animal is worth a complete and total mental evaluation and a few months at a mental institution... but not jail time. Jail isn't going to teach people with a violent personality why what they did was wrong. Why do I think animal abuse deserves time in a mental institution? Simply, because mentally healthy people would never enjoy torturing ANYTHING -- be it humans or non-human animals -- with their bare hands. And I'm not even going to go into the fact that the some of the worst serial killers started out with torturing animals.

Do you find that people who equate dogs to humans usually TREAT HUMANS no better than a dog?

I've never heard of anyone going to jail for having dog hair in their home. The answer to your question: Most people treat others as they deserve to be treated. I've never seen a dog that didn't DESERVE to be treated kindly...I've met lots of people who are treated MUCH better than they deserve. Respect is earned...show me a dog that is prejudiced, vain, lies, cheats, or gossips...I don't believe there is one...but there are BILLIONS of humans who can take lessons from dogs.

What is causing my westie dog to loose small patches of hair? She is regularly treated for flea;s?

2009-10-07T04:10:00.001-07:00

It could be lots of things. She could have a grass allergy, or a food allergy..or even ringworm (a fungus). Take her to the vet and see what they say.

What is causing my westie dog to loose small patches of hair? She is regularly treated for flea;s?

Take a look at her food!! Heres the most common ingredients that can cause skin allergies in dogs:

wheat, corn, soy, bht, bha, ethoxyquin, dies, beef, dairy, by-products,...try switching to an all natural brand without those ingredient ( like innova or eagle pack holistic select~). what kind of flea treatment are you using on her anyway? if its anything over the counter it will cause adverse reactions in dog after a while! you can take her to a vet and they will give her a cortozone shot...and then youll have to keep going back for those, so process of elimination!! shampoo, fabric softners, detergeants, candles, air freshners, new furniture, new clothes... remember it may take up to 64 days to see an improvement. so switch foods first, wait it out, then go to the next step.,,,etc. patience is key or you will never know whats bothering her~

What is causing my westie dog to loose small patches of hair? She is regularly treated for flea;s?

Theres many possibilities but if she has flea problems a very likely issue could be flea allergy/hot spot in which case hair falls out from all the scratching and it starts to look red and there may be some dandruff type stuff.

It could also be scabies though not as likely or ringworm,demodex (mange). There are many things it could be so its just best to get your pup checked by the vet.

What is causing my westie dog to loose small patches of hair? She is regularly treated for flea;s?

How old is she my dog is old and has lost all his fer

What is causing my westie dog to loose small patches of hair? She is regularly treated for flea;s?

But what are you using to treat the fleas with? If it's something from a pet store, it's unlikely to be working, therefore the bare patches could well be flea allergies.

If you're using a proper flea treatment from a vets and are sure she's 100% flea free, there are several other things that could be causing this - sarcoptic or demodectic (if not itchy) mange, diabetes/Cushing's/other hormonal imbalances, other types of skin infection or allergies. You'd need to go to a vet to narrow down what the cause is really.

I have a small dog about 10 lbs. Her skin is turning red under her hair. She scratches constantly.?

2009-10-07T04:09:00.003-07:00

I give her bath constantly with different kinds of dog shampoo. I see no fleas on her. She is very misarable. I know she needs to see a vet but i have limited income and cant afford to take her. I dont know if this makes a difference but she is always cold. Any ideas she needs some relief

I have a small dog about 10 lbs. Her skin is turning red under her hair. She scratches constantly.?

I would take her to the vet and get them to do a skin scrape on her it could be sarcoptic mange or demodex mites and they bury underneath the skin and make it very itchy and uncomfortable for the dog and they cannot be seen by the human eye personally i would take her to the vet, but she could just be allergic to something but i would still take her to the vet anyway.

I have a small dog about 10 lbs. Her skin is turning red under her hair. She scratches constantly.?

Maybe she needs to be bathed less - her skin may be irritated from the shampoo. Also, she may need a sweater. I would just call a vet - maybe they can offer some free advice over the phone.

I have a small dog about 10 lbs. Her skin is turning red under her hair. She scratches constantly.?

rash go to the vet

I have a small dog about 10 lbs. Her skin is turning red under her hair. She scratches constantly.?

it sounds like something irritiating her skin. have there been any recent changes? changed laundry degernent? shampooed the carpets? used bug spray? lawn treatments? you can try a little bit of benedryl spray. (only a little since she's tiny!) and try using baby shampoo since her skin is delecate right now. if it gets really hot to the touch or oozing she should see a vet though. try calling and see if they can give you some other advice or something over the counter. good luck!

I have a small dog about 10 lbs. Her skin is turning red under her hair. She scratches constantly.?

the constant bathing may have dried out her skin !! but it could still be fleas !! they are hard to see,if your dog has dark fur.

I have a small dog about 10 lbs. Her skin is turning red under her hair. She scratches constantly.?

What kind of grass do you have? Many dogs are allergic to Bermuda grass. I have to give mine monthly allergy shots because she will itch so badly.

Try using Benedryl spray on her tummy and see if it helps.

I have a small dog about 10 lbs. Her skin is turning red under her hair. She scratches constantly.?

it sounds like she has a bit of a skin allergy. Dogs can be allergic to all sorts of things pollens, certain proteins in their food etc. and this can make them a bit itchy. The skin is turning red because she is scratching so much. you'd be best taking her to the vet who will most likely give her a shot of steroids to settle the scratching, perhaps some antibiotics to prevent any secondary infection and maybe take some skin scraps to rule out mites. the vet may also give u a special shampoo that kills bacteria and yeasts. This type of thing can be easily resolved and it isnt too expensive but i'd definately take her to the vet. i'd also stop bathing her with your shampoo until you've spoken to a vet as this could be part of the problem. Hope she's better soon!

From my experience with my dog - bull terrier-white I would say that your dog is allergic on shampoo. They are to strong for her/his skin. For the fleas I do recommend fresh GARLIC-let her eat every day one small piece of it. Fleas do not like Garlic.

Friendly advice,

I have a small dog about 10 lbs. Her skin is turning red under her hair. She scratches constantly.?

possible allergy to foods,carpets,grass,shampoos.flea treatment,worms etc.mayb if u ring the animal welfare league or simular group they will help you get assistance with reduced fees.there are a number of vets that do this.maybe ring a vet and ask for a repayment plan.i really think your dog needs a vet,as she may need antibiotics and mayb cortisone injection and meds for lil while.change her bedding and mayb try boiled chickn,rice and some pastas.couldnt you ask a family member or friend to help $$.i kno its hard,i have 4 dogs and im govt payment too,being a single mum of 4.please try getting her to the vet before infection starts and its too late.

I have a small dog about 10 lbs. Her skin is turning red under her hair. She scratches constantly.?

ok stop bathing her so much for one... once every two weeks is plenty unless she gets into something... give her one wild salmon fish oil capsule a day

you can get them at a drug store i swear they work... make her swallow it whole tho as it will stink if she breaks it

Don't people who equate dogs to humans usually TREAT HUMANS no better than a dog?

That has been my observation. They also usually have pretty poor hygiene and smelly homes full of animal hair.

Is a dog worth jail time?

Don't people who equate dogs to humans usually TREAT HUMANS no better than a dog?

I do not understand what you mean by 'is a dog worth jail time?'

Why should a human be treated better than a dog? My dog is a member of my family and is loved as such. He is loyal, faithful and well mannered, which is more than I can say for a lot of human beings.

Edit: Why should it be frightening? I love my dog and he is very well treated.

Don't people who equate dogs to humans usually TREAT HUMANS no better than a dog?

hmmm no and yes.

huge generalization on people who like dogs is really never a bad idea; no generalizations are.

cruelty to animals is worth jail time. we are supposedly the highest evolved lifeforms on this earth and it should be our duty to protect other life, not harm it. unfortunately, we are way off the mark there, as your question has further proven.

Don't people who equate dogs to humans usually TREAT HUMANS no better than a dog?

Many people defend dogs saying "they are part of the family and stuff" but i bet if someone said to you bash your dogs skull in with a telephone book or i will kill your child you wouldnt think twice about your dog, or for that matter your phonebook...

But i still dont think its right to cause pain to a dog for no reason but unless it was for the protection of you or your family, so yes it should be worth Jail time

Don't people who equate dogs to humans usually TREAT HUMANS no better than a dog?

I've not undertaken a systematic examination of people equate dogs to humans versus people who do not (whatever that means, anyway), but I haven't anecdotally noticed anything of that sort. Most people who treat their dogs well seem to be pretty good people anyway.

Is there any possibility you could concentrate your efforts into just one question? Perhaps it might make sense then.

Don't people who equate dogs to humans usually TREAT HUMANS no better than a dog?

If the parents of the gang members looked after their children the way that responsible dog owners look after and love their pets, we might have a better society. What is your definition of a human being? Someone who walks on two legs?

Don't people who equate dogs to humans usually TREAT HUMANS no better than a dog?

YES!

The REALLY sick thing about this world is how many Americans enjoy watching boxing, ultimate fighting, extreme fighting broadcast all over the U.S. These fights are where human beings get injured and die. The REALLY sick thing is how many Americans do not give a damn about the plight of hurricane victims in their own country. The REALLY sick behavior is how many Americans pamper their pet dogs and cats while ignoring the plight of millions of AMERICAN CHILDREN in poverty and hunger in good 'ol US of A.

The REAL sickness of this world is American animal culture where animals are treated better than people. If Americans want to equate themselves with dogs, they would only be confirming to the world what the world sees as they become more like animals.

Judging from the intelligence capacity of many dog owners in this country, I'd say they ARE more aligned with the dog species than other human beings.

Don't people who equate dogs to humans usually TREAT HUMANS no better than a dog?

if you're referring to the whole Vick ordeal - dogs don't deserve to be burned...and tortured for not winning a fight. I'm pretty sure we don't make the losing team of any of our sports suffer...except for the occassional "boo-ing"...

just because a dog isn't human, doesn't mean humans can just torture and kill them. so yes, dogs are worth jail time because it's considered a felony in this country. don't like it? move.

by the way - my house is spotless, always has been..and we have always had dogs. i'm pretty sure that people who don't have dogs have poor hygiene as well. that's such a ridiculous association to make.

Don't people who equate dogs to humans usually TREAT HUMANS no better than a dog?

There's nothing frightening in Rosie's answer. I find it more frightening that in this so called civilised society we're supposed to live in animal cruelty is on the increase.

I always presume that if a person can't be kind and responsive to an animal, how on earth can I trust them to be any different with me?

And as for being part of the family, as a child I endured a fair amount of racial abuse and sometimes the family dog was the only consolation I had in a bitter harsh world. She didn't notice my skin colour, she just accepted me unconditionally, and I've loved all animals ever since

Don't people who equate dogs to humans usually TREAT HUMANS no better than a dog?

THAT'S CORRECT.

Don't people who equate dogs to humans usually TREAT HUMANS no better than a dog?

People who would treat any living thing poorly.Are no better than the things we call animals.Infact it has been my experience that a person who would harm an animal would harm a child.And yes a dog is worth jail time.I personally am a cat person.But I have made friends with a few k-9's.

My dog is mixed lab/golden retriever and he shedds a lot of hair...help?

I have a long haired Australian Shepard and he sheds like you can't believe or should I say he used to. I paid $9.99 for a dog comb called Shed Ender and let me tell you it was well worth the price. My husband used this comb for the first time one day when I was at work. I got home and he showed me all the hair he had gotten off my dog. You would have thought there was a dog in the bag he put the hair in. I am really glad I bought that comb. I don't have as much hair all over the place anymore and when I do we get the comb out. The comb is designed to get to the bottom layer of hair and comb out all the dead hair. This does not hurt the dog at all. I have saved alot of time and effort in cleaning up dog hair off everything with the purchase of the SHED ENDER for $9.99 and would recommend this product to you.

My dog is mixed lab/golden retriever and he shedds a lot of hair...help?

it is normal for a dog og that breed to shed so do worry, but maybe next time you brush him try puting the hair in a bag and throwing the bag away. so that way you dont have hair on your shoes doorway or clothes.

Puppy Hair Regrowth after Demodex Mange?

2009-10-07T04:08:00.001-07:00

Our 8 month old Boxer is being treated for generalized (face %26amp; neck only) demodectic mange by oral ivermectin and antibiotics. The "elephant skin" phase is gone now, but she looks like she needs "hair club for dogs". How long before we can expect the hair to regrow. We're doing everything we can: Blue Buffalo dog food, suppliments, flaxseed oil, Vitamin E, etc. It's been 2 weeks since her first treatment which was a mitaban dip followed by the ivermectin.

Puppy Hair Regrowth after Demodex Mange?

I have a female Dane that had red mange when I got her. My vet put her on the Ivermectin for 60 days. By the time we finished the treatment all the hair was back. (BTW, he also said to give both of my dogs Ivermectin, the same as we give our horses, every month to prevent worms.)

Puppy Hair Regrowth after Demodex Mange?

We fostered a dog with demodex mange (red mange), and treatment was the same you've done for your boxer. Her hair grew back about a month after we got it under control.

I say a month, but it grew in slow but steady. It was about a month before you couldn't tell it used to be bald there.

Puppy Hair Regrowth after Demodex Mange?

There is a natural product called Nu-Stock that will help with hair regrowth....you should be able to find it at a Co-op or Feed store....for more info on the product and to see/read the testimonials, go to www.nustock.com it is a fabulous product we use in our rescue and it will even grow hair on scars.... The product has instructions for companion animals on one side of the jar and livestock on the other...has been around about 50 years I believe. It has many other uses and even claims to treat demodectic mange but I would stick with the regimen your vet has prescribed.....we have used it for ringworm and hair regrowth.

Puppy Hair Regrowth after Demodex Mange?

Something that works wonders on dogs' bald spots is the hair cream for black peoples hair. You can buy it fairly cheap at a Dollar General. Just dab it on the bald spots and in no time you will see new hair growth.

First of all, every dog sheds and barks. You are better of with a stuffed animal. A small dog sheds too but they are called light shedders. You might want a small dog. A lab would be your best choice out of those.

All of the dogs you've listed shed. Especially the German Shepherd, lab, and golden retriever. All dogs bark, especially little ones like the yorkie and jack russel. The only real guard dog out of the bunch would be the German Shepherd, but then again, they shed, bark, and slobber. Good luck.

Dog help...type to get....?

Your list is not going to help ..

German shepherd: Loyal, playful, short hair.. but, Shed's like crazy, barks if not trained properly, dominant.. so needs a firm hand from the beginning..

black lab: sweet, loyal, playful, short hair, not terribly vocal, but sheds like crazy, takes a little longer to train then some other dogs, and not a good guard dog generally.

yorkie: can be sweet dogs.. CAN be playful (but I've seen more cases of them being stuck up around people),doesn't slobber, can be a guard dog.. but isn't very intimidating .. so would be better as an alarm.. but they shed a bit.. have long hair that needs grooming fairly often, and tend to be barkers.

jack Russel: playful, energetic, sheds.. (not too bad), not a great guard dog.. but do tend to bark alot..

or golden retriever? Long hair, sheds like crazy, needs grooming fairly often.. they can be playful, but are generally not that great as guard dogs.. not too vocal, but when they bark it is loud., they do tend to slobber..

There is no such thing as a perfect dog.. EVERY individual dog regardless of breed can be loud and annoying at times.. (be it barking or as in basenji's yodeling.. ) The ones that don't shed (at least not noticeably) need grooming ALOT.. (every couple of weeks or they get covered in painful mats).. Those that are loyal guard dogs, tend to be a bit more dominant than a novice pet owner should really deal with.. without taking classes early on with it.. Loyal guard dogs also tend to bark.. and it is very difficult to train a dog to bark at intruders without barking at EVERY single being that comes onto the property.. Out of that list I would say get a Black Lab.. they tend to be fairly mellow, and happy if bred well.. but, every individual animal has a different personality..

Dog help...type to get....?

A dog that doesn't bark too much and is playful depends more on the individual dog, not the breed. You have to teach your dog not to bark, or get an adult that has already been taught to not bark at everything which will make it easier to reinforce the rules.

All dogs shed. Some much more than others. German shepherds, labs, and goldens usually shed a LOT.

Labs and goldens slobber the most out of the list of breeds.

JRTs and yorkies do shed, but they don't have the undercoat like the other three breeds so they shed much less. Yorkies shed less than JRTs. Yorkies also need to be groomed often, especially if you keep their hair on the longer side.

They are both good watch dogs. They will alert you, but when it comes to guarding, they are just really small.

You can also look up other breeds at www.akc.org

Jack Russell Terrier ... Terriers bark a lot.

Golden Retriever ... long coated, to friendly to be a guard dog.

Labrador Retriever ... again too friendly to be any good at guard work.

Yorkshire Terrier ... again Terriers are yappers.

German Shepherd ... barks but not yappy. Loyal, and a very good guard dog ... if properly trained.

Short Haired, most of the time. Need to be groomed daily not to shed however.

Need to have human companionship ... if they don't they will become yappy, because of this however they are great house dogs although large breed. Playful, Intelligent, I have never met a German Shepherd who slobbers.

Hope this helped. I am not saying a GSD is the best dog for you ... I'm only answering those questions in which you asked.

a golden retriever is cool

Dog help...type to get....?

Shepards and retrievers shed. Labs often bark (depends of how well you train them). Jack Russells are smart and loving but EXTREMELY active dogs. Yorkies aren't known for their smarts (some would say they're positively stupid). If I had to choose between your 5 choices, I would go with the golden retriever. They are gentle, affectionate, playful, and very loyal dogs.

I need some dog training tips on nipping dog?

2009-10-07T04:07:00.002-07:00

We have a three year old dog, had him since a pup. He's a mutt - longish hair beagle style dog. Actually he is really pretty intelligent.

He's been an awesome dog so far. I've taken many tips, and have become his "pack leader". However, he tends to nip at my kids when they are playing/rough housing, and when other kids come over he has nipped at them for playing, or when they have food in their hands.

Obviously this is a problem (though he never nips hard...just enough to scare them a bit). How do I overcome this? What would the Dog Whisperer tell me to do?

I need some dog training tips on nipping dog?

I am a dog trainer and I say your dog needs to go to Dog School. If you haven't the money try my 1, 2, 3 easy tips.

1. Make a spot in the house for him to discipline him for doing this. The spot should have NO toys, NO children, and NO attention for about 5 minutes.

2. Take away play time/ treats for misbehavior.

3. Play with him more. Show him how to play nice and discipline for naughtiness.

I need some dog training tips on nipping dog?

I would say take him to obedience school. There are experienced people there who can help train your dog to stuff such as not nipping. Whenever he does something wrong, scold him by saying no or bad dog. They can usually sense when you're mad at them by the tone of your voice. This should also help your dog to not to it again.

I need some dog training tips on nipping dog?

Well, what you should do is let your children and dog rough house.... Then when you see him nip your children once, jerk him quickly by his collar and say "NO! Bad dog!!! " Then punish him like putting him inside his crate or making him lie down.

Do this over and over again every day. Hopefully he'll get the picture. And everytime he licks your children's face, give him a treat. He'll learn lick, not nip!

Good luck!

Flick him on the nose when he nips and tell him NO.

I need some dog training tips on nipping dog?

I use a dog training tip I learned from a vet. He said to get a small soda bottle (like a 16 oz Pepsi ) and after you rinse it out fill it with some pennies. When your dog does something you don't like - just shake it at the dog, and the noise will stop him from doing whatever it is that he shouldn't be doing. When you shake it at him use a word command like - No - or - Bottle.

After awhile all you will have to is say the word and your dog will associate the word with the noisy bottle and it should be effective.

NEVER hit you dog with the bottle or anything else. Also, when he guits nipping and listens, you should reward him for doing so.

I need some dog training tips on nipping dog?

If a sharp "No" isn't enough, and it wasn't enough for our JRT, I found this, which has worked for the most part. He stops nipping and always licks us. I try to yelp like another dog would if he were nipping at a dog who he caused pain.

From the ASPCA:

- Give a high-pitched yelp, as if you are in pain, when the puppy bites too hard. This should startle the puppy and cause him to stop, at least momentarily. Praise the puppy for stopping and/or for licking you.

I need some dog training tips on nipping dog?

Dogs have personalities just like we do, your dog is getting older, and maybe the kids make him nervous... is he crate trained?

when he nips, hold his snout (like your holding a coke can) and in a stern voice say "NO BITE"

but usually in adult dogs they already have their personalities.

just like you and I....maybe he is not clicking with the children, maybe he is a quiet type dog, maybe he is just nervous.

I have a lab that we can throw in the pool, lay on him, feed him from out hand, and even pull his tail, he loves it;.... he has a very playful personality... then I have a poodle, he is something else!

he is picky, he is nippy, and if he gets mad he will do naughty things.

he is crate trained and most of the time we have to keep him in the crate because of his bad habits...

good luck with your dog.. but keep in mind, he has feelings too.

I need some dog training tips on nipping dog?

When your dog goes to nip,you smack him firmly across the bridge of the nose and you tell him no!Then say bad dog.That is how we broke our rat terrier mix.

How do I get my dog to stand grooming better?

2009-10-07T04:07:00.000-07:00

I have a six month old Samoyed puppy. If you know the breed, you know they need A LOT of grooming. If you don't know the breed, here's an overview- they are big husky type dogs, but completely white with a double coat that needs a lot of brushing.

Right now whenever I groom my puppy, I give her a Kong, a bone, or another brush to chew on. However, if she doesn't have any of these, she'll go crazy and try to bite the brush. Even with these, its hard to groom her on her stomach because she'll drop her bone and so try to bite her brush.

I would like to know if anyone has any tips on getting her to remain calm with occasional treats every few minutes as a groom her (like a show dog). It's also worth mentioning that she is fantastic in the bath- just sits there and lets us do anything to her!

Finally, I wondered if anyone knew any volumizing shampoos for dogs. Her hair is pretty limp, and since she gets fed a good diet think it might be the shampoo that we are using.

How do I get my dog to stand grooming better?

At 6 months she is allowed to be playful!

Feed her first, so the tummy is nice and full, have some treats ready for rewarding "good" behaviour.

Most of all, be very very gentle. Some dogs try to bite the brush because they feel it s uncomfortable for them.

For good coat you can't go past a a raw egg yolk twice a week. (ONLY the YOLK!!!)

How do I get my dog to stand grooming better?

they have just about any kind of dog shampoo you can imagine go to petsmart and look around. hav you tried muzzling her for brushing? you can buy a mesh muzzle which is very breathable and only about 10-20 dollars depending on size.

How do I get my dog to stand grooming better?

pamper the dog first.

feed her or him real good first.

talk nicely,

%26amp; dont loose patience, if you do, it will make things worse,

take a short break to.

give her or him a treat after the grooming session.

good luck,

ohhh i use reg shampoo for humans. pantene is good,

How do I get my dog to stand grooming better?

thats cute well kind of. anyway give him a seperate brush to play with while your brushing him. or keep him occupied with treats.

How do I get my dog to stand grooming better?

The first thing you should do is incorporate the act of grooming into her playtime. Basically, think about some of the movements and ways that you touch her when you're grooming her. Now use these same things when you're petting her.

For instance, let's say that when you're grooming, you have to lift her hair up away from the body. Do this while you're petting her too. Eventually she'll just let you do it all the time, and shouldn't think twice when it's actually grooming time.

Also, when she's sleeping or lounging, massage her paws. Run your fingers in between the pads of her feet. You should be doing this anyway to make sure she doesn't have any foreign objects in there. But it also replicates the way you'll be handling her when you're trying to clip her nails.

You've got to start doing this with her while she's a puppy. Get her used to it at an early age.

How do I get my dog to stand grooming better?

I believe from reading your post that the puppy is trying to play with the brush (?) It's hard to tell, since "going crazy" is a great description for about 98% of the things that puppies do.

Time to play "It's your choice" with your dog and the brush. Get a patient friend to help, and have that person at the dog's head with a LOT of treats. Dog stands, you hold the brush next to the dog - or even just in your hand. Dog doesn't make a move for the brush = dog gets fed. Dog tries to grab brush, and everyone says "Oh no...." or similar "Game's Over!" type of thing. No treats or food for dogs who grab brushes.

Dogs learn by repetition. If you can't get attention from your dog, try these things:

1. Put the dog in a Gentle Leader head harness. Be sure to introduce your dog to this properly, and don't slap it on your dog's face only when he needs grooming. Use it for walks, put it on him and then play with him, etc. Controlling his head will mean the dog is also controlled.

2. Get better treats. Be sure the dog is hungry. Then, try the exercise again.

3. Be sure you do this "It's your choice" game in a boring place, with nothing else going on. Asking your pup to play this in the middle of other activities is unfair.

4. Be sure to find ways that your dog can be successful - but, never let him bite that brush again. Eventually, he will stop seeing it as a toy.

Good luck!

How do I get my dog to stand grooming better?

my dog loves to get vaccumed??? and it takes care of his hair!

How do I get my dog to stand grooming better?

well most show dogs are groomed on a table with a noose and you purchase a no sit noose. if she bites the brush or any tool you are using, you need to train her and say no. firmly push her muzzle away and continue. she will eventually realize that you are going to continue to groom her tummy no matter what.

for the shampoo part of you question. DO NOT USE HUMAN SHAMPOO! i cannot stress this enough. human shampoo has a Ph that will hurt the dog it is so intense. there is a brand of wash that i use for my shih tzu.(he is a show dog) called buddywash. it could also be her hair cut. i am curious to know what her "good" diet is.

How do I get my dog to stand grooming better?

Most breeders will start with a puppy even younger then six months to get them used to being groomed. I recommend that you purchase a grooming table. There are lots of reasons why groomers use these tables, part of which is that the dogs have less confidence and give you less trouble when they are off the ground.

Always stay near your puppy when you use the table, don't ever walk away from them. Brush her belly while she is standing up, this gives her less leverage to get at your fingers, or the brush. Lift her front leg while you work on the belly. You will have to firmly correct her when she tries to bite,otherwise she will think you are playing with her. Save the treats for after grooming.

Oh about her coat, that will change after she gets older.

How do I get my dog to stand grooming better?

Grooming? Well if you have a dog that hates grooming. you should do it with them more often. not just when you take em to the shop.. do you brush em' every day? if not you should. and if you do......then do it twice a day. eventualy they will get used to it. mabey their skin is sensitive? and yes after everytime. pet them. comend them on a good job and give them a treat. they will start to look forward to it. mabey make it the only time they get treats is the time after a brush or bath. they will learn that a treat is exspected afterwards and, love it.

How do I get my dog to stand grooming better?

As dumb as it seems when I groom my dog, I just continue to talk to him and will let him check out everything first. He's older though now so he doesn't do very much now that he's been to the groomers about 100+ times. As for shampoo there is some great stuff on http://moochieandco.com thats relatively inexpensive, however I actually use my shampoo %26amp; conditioner occasionally on my shih tzu and it works great.

How do I stop my dog from going nuts when someone knocks on the door?

2009-10-07T04:06:00.003-07:00

Whenever someone knocks on the door our dog goes crazy. She acts like a "mad dog". Her hair stands up on the back of her neck! Otherwise she is a very sweet dog.

How do I stop my dog from going nuts when someone knocks on the door?

you are the pack leader, don't open the door until the dog is in the sit stay position far back from the door, you could practice this with a family member coming to the door for training purposes, or train the dog to kennel up when someone comes to the door, just try to use positive training method not force, this will only send the wrong signals to the dog ( like, what going on why are you excited is something wrong.) be kind and firm

How do I stop my dog from going nuts when someone knocks on the door?

whatever you do, dont put one of those electric collars on her. that will really hurt her. Take her to your local petco and im sure they will have a training center there for yuor loving pet.

How do I stop my dog from going nuts when someone knocks on the door?

I would put her on a leash and choke chain. Have someone outside to ring the doorbell. When the dog acts up I would make her sit and be still. Then open the door. Repeat this until you've retrained her to be still. It's ok for her to want to protect you, but she still needs to be under your control.

Repeat this training as necessary...she'll eventually get it!

How do I stop my dog from going nuts when someone knocks on the door?

i think the only really way to get a dog use to people is by letting them "know people" bring your dog ou to parks where there are lots of people. when your dog barks yank on the leach reward your dog when he/she walks past a stranger without barking.

How do I stop my dog from going nuts when someone knocks on the door?

Act like you're going nuts when this happens. Jump around and stuff. Your dog will stop and just stare at you like you're crazy.

How do I stop my dog from going nuts when someone knocks on the door?

#1. Walk your dog every day for 30-45 minutes. While on the walk, you lead the dog, not the other way around. The dog can't stop and smell things or pee on things. They just have to follow you.

#2. Put the dog on a leash and practice. When someone knocks on the door, don't answer until the dog has achieved a calm state of mind. Practice over and over until the dog gets it right and reward only positive behavior.

I had a dog that did this one time and I took her to the vet. Turns out that she had been swimming in a nearby ditch and had contracted a yeast infection. Take your dog to the vet and if it is yeast - the vet will give you some really good shampoo to get rid of it! Worked great for me ! Good Luck

What breed of dog is best for me?

2009-10-07T04:06:00.000-07:00

My boyfriend and I are going to get a dog in the next few months. We are hoping to get an adult since we have very little experience with training puppies. Anyway - what would you recommend as a breed? We would need a dog that could live in a smaller space (we still rent, though we do have a yard and plenty of outdoor areas nearby) and that is fairly mellow. I would also prefer a dog with hair so the shedding isn't too overwhelming! Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks!

id get one from a shelter - go to a shelter and see which one suits you. there are too many dogs in shelters save one!

What breed of dog is best for me?

I would recommend a greyhound. While they are incredibly fast, that's when they're racing or tracking. Otherwise, they tend to be quite sedate. If you have outdoor areas nearby, you and your boyfriend can enjoy walks with the dog.

They do need brushing, but are not typically a big-shedding breed. Also, since you're thinking of an adult, you can help out one of the many retired-racer rescue groups and get a dog that really needs your love.

What breed of dog is best for me?

Go to a shelter and see what's available. there aren't always adult dogs for sale of all different breeds. I would actually determine the size you want. Not too big because you don't have the space. Mixed breed dogs are very good pets. They have less health problems and seem to have a good attitude. some shelters may require you to own a home to adopt. Check the local newspaper for pets to a good home.

My friend has pugs and they're sweet dogs. They don't shed and they're not prissy, mean, or yappy like many little dogs I know. They're clowns and love to make you laugh.

Miniature Schnauzers are very full of life and do not bark. They have the most human like hair, so friends with allergies and you can enjoy the no shedding. Problems that come with the dogs are the Beard can be a nuisance, but it is cute, they are small, lap sized. They are very friendly. It's like a little kid in everyone. A lot of them are allergic to corn, which is kind of nice because corn is like chocolate for dogs, it can lower their life rate. these dogs usually promise 13 to 16 years, which can be a nice time. They are very peppy animals and have a bounce in their step more like a trot than a walk.

I need new cutters should I get dog shears or human shears?

2009-10-07T04:05:00.003-07:00

I have to get new shears this week but I'm not sure what ones I should get. I like my dog's hair short. And I use shears on my son, not all the time and cleaned ofcourse. I have never used dog shears. I don't knwo what ones to get or if their is a differance between dog and human shears or clippers if any. So can anyone tell me the differance between dog and human clippers and what ones would be best to stand up to use on my dogs. Thanks!

I need new cutters should I get dog shears or human shears?

Either shear can be used for either species....I use the dog clippers on my husband!

Unless it is a professional pair, they are the same clipper, with different labels..

I need new cutters should I get dog shears or human shears?

I think they are the same

I need new cutters should I get dog shears or human shears?

Dog shears are probably more stirdy. But I can't see why you can't cut human hair with them as long as you have the hair attachments

I need new cutters should I get dog shears or human shears?

There is no difference. If you want your scissors to hold an edge then your want hard steel, the harder the metal of the scissors, the longer they hold an edge and the more they will cost. Or go to Sally shop or some supply store for your scissors. My mom has some sheers that are over $100.00 and some that are $12.00. But when she grooms me up for a show I look very handsome!

Look in the computer under canine grooming that might help you.

Cheers Bogey

I need new cutters should I get dog shears or human shears?

we use professional shears for our dog, he doesn't like the eletric clippers at all.the sound of it bothers him so much that both groomers weren't able to groom him anymore, he got stressed out so bad. they only trim his nails for us eversince.

One time we bought people clippers at wal-mart from our dogs. Well they did not go though the hair. Buy dog clippers then you can use them on your dog or people!

I need new cutters should I get dog shears or human shears?

Get a clipper for dogs. They have stronger motors. www.petedge.com has some great ones. Anything by Wahl or Andis is good. I use both brands.

How long does it take for a dogs hair to grow?

2009-10-07T04:05:00.002-07:00

my dog has a bald patch under her eye.shes been to the vet and everything is fine.does anyone know how long the hair will take to grow back?

How long does it take for a dogs hair to grow?

Hi sweet,

If she's perhaps caught the fur on a bush and pulled it out or something, should start growing back straight away. So you'll notice difference in a week or so.

Alternatively, if it's right by the eye, it could also be 'demodectic mange', sounds serious but it's not really. We all have little bugs on our skin that are harmless, but in some animals or at certain times in their lives, the bugs irritate and cause fur loss in that specific area. Is easily sorted with a presciption of Surolan (corticosteroid drops) on the skin couple times a day for a week. Quite inexpensive and it works.

Sometimes the vet will do a skin scrape, but in my experience, they don't always find anything.

Hope this helps. x x

How long does it take for a dogs hair to grow?

it will start 2 grow straight away if your dog as long hair it about 12weeks to fully grow so that it same length as the rest hope this helped ;^)

Is it true that women cant be pregnant couse of dogs or cats hair ?

s it true that women cant be pregnant couse of dogs or cats hair ? couse the hair will stay next to the baby egg

Is it true that women cant be pregnant couse of dogs or cats hair ?

Having dogs or cats has nothing to do with being pregnant or not. Dog and cat hair does NOT get into the body and stay next to the egg. WTF? lol Did those people's DOCTORS say that that is why they can't get pregnant? I have cats and dogs and I still got pregnant. If someone sniffed the hair into the body, it would NOT make it into the reproductive system, which is where babies are made. If they sniffed it in through their noses, they would most likely sneeze it back out.

Is it true that women cant be pregnant couse of dogs or cats hair ?

No. You can only get pregnant when a sperm fertilizes and egg and they implant in a uterus.

If it's true, then I couldn't have been pregnant, since I have two dogs and two cats. Of course it's not true! The only thing pregnant women can't do with cats is change the litter box, because they can get toxoplasmosis.

This site explains a great raw meat and bone diet that does a lot of good for dogs! :) It help their fur and keeps them healthy.

you could mix in a raw egg into her food.. Are you sure she isn't shedding?

Do NOT feed Purina. That and other unhealthy dog foods such as Iams are just as healthy as the bag they come in. You need to feed your dog a holistic dog food. I feed mine Merrick. It has no fillers, no corn and no by products. If the food you feed your dog has any of this in it THROW it away. Other holistic dog foods are Eagle Pack, Timber Wolf, Innova and many more. Good luck!

You dont wnat to give them chepa dog food. They need a mix of wet and dry food for a shinier coat. Try a ntural brand like Nutro pro natural or science diet natural. Contrary to popular belief, they do have a thin coat but they do shed a lot. You can also try a shed control shampoo and avoid too much heat as they shed more in the heat.

If she has a thyroid problem, all the different diets in the world won't stop her hair from falling out! First you should get her to the vet and have a thorough checkup and bloodtest done. THEN if you have eliminated any potential problems, you can consider diet and/or allergies.

It is that time a year where dogs shed their winter coats. It falls out in masses. Lots of hair.

Get a Shed Blade for the short hair, a brush would not do you much good.

Take her to a groomer %26amp; get her bathed %26amp; dried. they have a power dryer that will blow out all that loose hair. But in a few days she will still be shedding.

Take her outside %26amp; rough up her fur going in all directions %26amp; watch the hair fly. Get out as much as you can that way %26amp; then remove dander with a wet cloth. This will help a lot.

Doing that %26amp; useing the shed blade will get the most of it.

Try something like switching her food to AvoDerm which was formulated with dogs in mind that had problems with skin and coat. Some other good brands: Orijen, Wellness, Flint River Ranch

If you change brands, do it gradually like : Week one: 3/4 current food, 1/4 new food, Then, 1/2 current, 1/2 new, then 3/4 new and 1/4 old then all new. If at any time during this process the dog gets a bit loose in stool or diarrhea, you cand add some pumpkin pie filling to the diet. Dogs seem to love it and it's just pureed pumpkin which is a natural product more effective than anything I ever got from a Vet in regulating their stool and settling their stomach. i got this tip from my VET. ; )

My dogs have supplements for skin and coat which is something to consider, too. Though with the new food your dog may not need them.

The supplements I use are: Skin Formulation 3V Caps which have Omega 3, Vit A, D and E in them, and NutriVed skin and coat supplement. Both from the Vet.

When I got my beagle pup, his fur was falling out in chunks because of really bad dry skin. I switched him to Canidae Lamb %26amp; Rice, and his coat is now soft, shiny, and his skin is super healthy. I HIGHLY recommend it!

If you want to feed kibble, try a high-quality one like Canidae. The healthiest diet for dogs is a prey-model raw diet. It's AMAZING what it will do for the well-being (coat, skin, teeth) of a dog. Also, whatever you feed, put a Salmon Oil supplement (look for one with Vitamin E in it) on the food.

If you trim a dog's whiskers, does it hurt them?

2009-10-07T04:04:00.002-07:00

My dog's hair is crazy, and I sometimes trim the hair around his eyes so he can see better.

If I trim the gnatty balls of hair around his mouth, and in turn his whiskers, will it hurt him?

If you trim a dog's whiskers, does it hurt them?

No, he'll be fine. Whiskers are just thicker hairs.

If you trim a dog's whiskers, does it hurt them?

yes my sister does that and it hurts the dog like crazy.

If you trim a dog's whiskers, does it hurt them?

No, it won閳ユ獩 do any harm. Whiskers are made of the same thing the rest of the fur is, so there is no feeling in them. In fact, many groomers will just trim the whiskers automatically, and you have to ask that they be left alone if you'd rather they not. Also, they do grow back, so it won't be permanent.

If you trim a dog's whiskers, does it hurt them?

It's just fine. As a matter of interest all show dogs have their whiskers trimed down or shaved off.

If you trim a dog's whiskers, does it hurt them?

NO..

If you trim a dog's whiskers, does it hurt them?

Hi,

Whiskers are not called whiskers they are called vibrissae. They are unlike the other hairs on the body. They are actually "alive" and have nerves in them. Scientific study has not done to very much research in this area of feline and canine. There is a good article on this at

http://www.bernese.org/vibrissa.htm

Hope this helps.

If you trim a dog's whiskers, does it hurt them?

It is not painful to them, but it is a BAD idea. They use whiskers kindof like we use fingertips; to sense and feel their environment, and they feel awkward without them and often get dizzy if they're trimmed.

If you trim a dog's whiskers, does it hurt them?

Some people say the whiskers are important, but some dogs need to have the fur around their face trimmed. If you are worried about it, take your dog to a groomer.

Is that a dead dog on Beyonce's head or is it her real hair?

2009-10-07T04:04:00.001-07:00

A serious question. If it's a dead dog, somewhere really should call the humane society.

Is that a dead dog on Beyonce's head or is it her real hair?

yea....im pretty sure its not a dead dog. she is rich enough to afford human hair. its not her hair. her's is shorter. most celebrities dont wear their real hair.

Is that a dead dog on Beyonce's head or is it her real hair?

It's human hair extension.

Question about dog food please help.?

2009-10-07T04:04:00.000-07:00

so i bought my dog (long hair chihuahua 5 years old) some dog food in those little square plastic bowls that you just peel off the top and serve. she really likes it and thats good because im trying to have her like human food again. well my question is that what is a good brand similar to that type of food but doesnt cost an arm and a leg. she eats a lot for a little dog and those things costs 80 cents each. are the big can ones just as good? suggestions please.

Question about dog food please help.?

First the reason she eats so much is because she isn't getting what she needs nutritionally from the food because it has cheap, low quality ingredients.

If she eats two of the .80 cent cans or $1.60 every meal and you could buy a can of $1.29, but she only needs one wouldn't you be saving .31 cents? So really the expensive brand would be better for her! So don't think about cost-but quality! Dogs who eat a high quality food eat less, poop less, have better skin/coat, less visits to the vet and on and on.

To find a good brand of dog food go to the link below and compare the foods.

Old school is not to feed dogs wet food, but current research shows that they many especially kidney, liver, and dogs with stones absolutely need this. So wet food isn't the problem, it is genetics, lack of dental hygiene and food quality.

Certain breeds will have problems regardless of what type of food you feed, ie Yorkies, Chihuahua, Rat Terriers.

The dog dental diets use food abnormally large so when the dog splits it with their incisors it may knock off some of the build-up. However this does nothing for the canines in front. Canines are used for ripping and tearing into food. Not something our domestic dogs do! So feeding dry, wet, or moist will do nothing for those teeth!

If you want to do the best for your dog go raw or make your own BARF diet.

Question about dog food please help.?

why on earth would you encourage a chihuahua to eat human food (or canned food for that matter)? toy breeds are genetically predisposed to having dental problems so they need to eat dry food that will help keep the tartar down on the teeth. please speak to your vet about the dog's diet asap!

Question about dog food please help.?

Canned dog food is really NOT good for dogs, and should really only be given as a supplement to a diet based on a good dry dog food. Dry dog foods have more nutrients and most canned foods are just gunk/slop all mixed together. Ask your vet to recommend a good dry dog food for her size, age, etc. But again, do not feed a diet that is solely moist/canned food. Those are also not good for her teeth.

Question about dog food please help.?

You shouldnt feed her human food, they get the poo's. I never gave our old dog soft food, I knew cats that ate soft food all the time and all their teeth fell out, and had rotten breath. I would try and feed her hard food, it is very good for their teeth, and it lasts longer. Sorry I didnt answer how you wanted I just thought I would pass on wisdom I have enquired over the last almost 28 years of life. Woah I am gettin old!!

Question about dog food please help.?

I have to agree with the others. Canned food is horrible for dogs. If you don't believe it then look at the ingredients. Do you really know what they put in there? Also it is high in sugars, preservatives, and calories.

There are a lot of good dry foods out there. I would recommend one but I have large dogs. Try Pet Smart, Pet Co etc. Try not to get a grocery store brand of food.

Question about dog food please help.?

Ok well the dog food your talkin about is exspensive....But lucky 4 you they have it in the store brand, (right beside it usually) buy that one. believe it or not probably packed by the same company....like richfood is usually starkist tuna, wonder bread etc... look at the ingredients more than not they wil be the same

Question about dog food please help.?

never feed a dog human food! how did they let you have a dog?!

dry dog food is the only good thing to feed them. it helps clean their teeth, and is good for digestion. plus, if you give them clean water to drink, then they don't need the wet food.

that dog will get fat.

Question about dog food please help.?

feed iams hard food 2-3 times a day along with 1 - 2 spoonfulls of iams or cesar dog soft foood

Question about dog food please help.?

The Veterinarian brands are great and yes they cost more but if you sit down and calculate it she will eat less. So in the long run good food is cheaper. If the feeding suggestion for her weight is 1/2 cup you can feed less they always go to the high end of the scale.

Question about dog food please help.?

All answers about can food are so true! Years back I had a maltese with rotten aching teeth and spent a fortune having to have his teeth cleaned at least once a year.

However, in addition to good quality dry food, don't forget to give him some fresh uncooked meat including bones, such as chicken wings. Dry food will not clean teeth, and is not good as the only diet. They need something fresh! My animals - both dogs and cats - have a variety of fresh meat for their main meal. The dogs get an addition of raw grated vegies, especially carrots with the meat. They only get dry food for breakfast.

If your dog is not used to chewing bones, you may have to persevere. Never leave food available all the time, they become very picky and lose appetite. Feed only when he is very hungry and asks for food. Even if you think it is meal time, but he doesn't seem interested, don't offer food. If he stops eating, remove leftovers straight away.

You will also find that feeding him raw meat is much cheaper than cans, especially if you look for specials.

Question about dog food please help.?

I would suggest either Purina dog chow dry or Pedigree. My other dog who passed away in May would only eat pedigree %26amp; my puppy now is on Purina puppy chow but when she turns a yr old then she will be getting purina dog chow. DRY is alot better for their teeth %26amp; gums as well as their digestion. I'm w/ u I don't like spending an arm %26amp; leg on dog food so I try to get good food that's resaonable!!

Question about dog food please help.?

JUST BUY DOG FOOD YOU PUT WATER IN IT. IT TURNS THE FOOD TO TASTE BETTER. THEY LOVE IT

Question about dog food please help.?

I am concerned that you want her to like human food. Not only is human food not what she needs nutritionally, it is murder on her teeth. Just give her dog food!

To answer your question - look on the label of the can you choose. It should say "Guarateed to provide the basic daily nutritional requirements" or something very similar. Also look for food that has as its first two ingredients a meat or meat by-product. In other words, cereals and grains should be further down the list.

Question about dog food please help.?

A dry food really is healthier for her. A good brand that you can get at the grocery store is IAMS. It has the best nutritional value and will help her coat to be healthy and shiny. When switching dog foods you should always mix what you are feeding now with the new food 1/2 and 1/2 for a few days to avoid upsetting her stomach. If she likes her food soft you can always put a little water over it to soften it. It also comes in small bites which is great for chihuahuas!

What color should i dye my dogs hair?

2009-10-07T04:03:00.003-07:00

my dog is a pijon or somthing like that. well he is a boy, and i want to dye his hair! any suggestions?

What color should i dye my dogs hair?

Dogs are not accessories. You want to dye some hair, dye your own. Leave your dog alone.

What color should i dye my dogs hair?

Why would you do that?

Dying isn't good for dogs hair, because it can dry it out and make them itch, and there is no reason to.

What color should i dye my dogs hair?

O.o poor dog.....very poor dog.....i feel so bad for him....well if I would ever do that I'd do a weird color such as highlight green or neon blue. Or maybe lime green! Haha, thatd be funny

What color should i dye my dogs hair?

you don.t even kno wot kind of dog your dog is??? don.t dye his hair!!! u.ll hurt him and u.ll end up w/some big vet bills... dye ur own hair!!

What color should i dye my dogs hair?

If you didn't like his colour of hair, why did you get him? Dogs aren't Barbies.

What color should i dye my dogs hair?

I really wouldn't sugest dying your dogs hair. I was at my Veternarian's office about 6 or 7 months ago and a woman did that to her saint bernard, and it got a skin infection, and she was stuck with a big bill. I really wouldn't do that if I was you. Love the dog the way it is and don't care about its looks.

What color should i dye my dogs hair?

If you do dye the doggie, use sugar-free kool-aid - and gloves because it will stain the hands bad. Red on white will make the fur pink, blue looks good or orange. ( this will only last for awhile) washing and licking will fade it.

Good Luck!

What color should i dye my dogs hair?

omg, how can you do that to a dog! that is very rude and your hurting the dog, just leave it alone and nobody gets hurt ok?

What color should i dye my dogs hair?

pleaseeeee don't do that!

What color should i dye my dogs hair?

Like this dog. xD

Kool Aid is the best. Its safe and harmless.

Cutting a dog's whiskers: yes or no?

2009-10-07T04:03:00.002-07:00

I usually cut my dog's hair but I have never cut his whiskers. However, his face is now really hairy and he gets hair in his eyes all the time because I am afraid I will cut a whisker. Is it safe to cut a dog's whiskers and their "eyebrow" whiskers? I don't want to cut them all the way off, just trim them. I am asking beforehand because I don't want to mess anything up, so please don't say I am mean or anything.

Thanks.

Cutting a dog's whiskers: yes or no?

lol when i first read your question .. just the intro to it .. I was going to type " the answer isn't yes or no BUT WHY ?"

but you have made yourself perfectly clear and the answer is YES you can trim his whiskers and anybody who tells you that you are mean are just being trolls

Cutting a dog's whiskers: yes or no?

Hey Holly :)

I think Moron's name says it call ;)

I did forget to mention though that cutting a cat's whiskers is a different thing again as they need them to judge the distance between spaces they crawl through and without them may get stuck :) Report It

Cutting a dog's whiskers: yes or no?

There is a grooming center near to where I work. They groom schnauzers and cockers all the time and they trim their whiskers... they don't seem to mind. They seem to grow back pretty quickly too. Whiskers in dogs are not as essential as they are in cats. On the other hand, they do mind matted hair and it can get infected and become a hot spot, as well as corneal abrassions due to hair constantly rubbing the eyes.

Cutting a dog's whiskers: yes or no?

You can cut them, they'll grow back.

Cutting a dog's whiskers: yes or no?

When I have my dog professionally groomed they TRIM his eyebrows and whiskers...

Cutting a dog's whiskers: yes or no?

I trim my shelties chin whiskers... just because he looks goofy otherwise... I don't know about the eyebrows... I think he would look worse with them gone...LOL

Cutting a dog's whiskers: yes or no?

You CAN trim them, but unless your dog is a show dog, why would you? The whiskers, especially those around the eyes, help the dog realize when something is approaching his eyes or face.

You should be able to trim his face without cutting the whiskers. Groomers do it all the time.

Cutting a dog's whiskers: yes or no?

NO! Don't cut your dog's whiskers. Don't even trim them. They need them. They are part of a dog's face. He will be very sad and suffer from low canine esteem if you do this. (There's probably some physiological reason for not doing it either, but I'm a psych major.)

Cutting a dog's whiskers: yes or no?

Try not to, but it doesn't hurt them,

it is however the way they feel around,

so in some respects, you're taking

away his ability to find his way around.

He will however get use to it. No Worries

Cutting a dog's whiskers: yes or no?

You can cut them just make sure you do not trim them to short.

Cutting a dog's whiskers: yes or no?

you can if you want to we used to do it all the time for dog shows

Cutting a dog's whiskers: yes or no?

I think you pretty well have to cut his whiskers to go with the rest of his face if you are trimming his coat.

Maybe get him groomed by a professional for the first time and then can follow what they did the next time or he'll look and feel so good you'll get the groomer to do it all the time.

Dog's whiskers are not like cat whiskers that you are not suppose to cut off because those cat need those whiskers....

Cutting a dog's whiskers: yes or no?

A dog's whiskers may sense the wind direction and so help the dog determine the direction from which an odour is coming. These whiskers occur in clusters and serve as sensory structures - anything brushing against these whiskers stimulates the dog to close his eyes, pull away, turn his head, paw his face, or shake his head. Some exhibitors trim the whiskers of their show dogs to give the dog's head and face a smooth look. More importantly, it gives the judge a nice smooth feel in the ring. But such trimming may limit the dog's response to his environment and detracts from the natural appearance of the pet.

Cutting a dog's whiskers: yes or no?

i know for a fact that CATS need thier whiskas. they use them to tell if they can fit in things, the size of thier whiskas shows how big thier bodys are. if thier whiskas fit through it is safe to go through. i'm not sure for dogs it might not be the same but you could try asking a grooming salon.

Hope i've helped !!!

Cutting a dog's whiskers: yes or no?

You can and no, it will not adversely affect them. Show handlers routinely shave whiskers off. Have you seen a show dog walking sideways or not acutely attuned to their surroundings. I say shave the whole face. It will be more hygenic and make clean up easier! Or you can just trim them. Just be careful when using scissors around the face!

Cutting a dog's whiskers: yes or no?

no way that will hurt them! :...( Well you could if you want to

Cutting a dog's whiskers: yes or no?

Not "mean"...just REALLY STUPID!!!

%26amp; ignorant AMATEUR!!

Do NOT "BUTCHER" the dog when you don't know WTF you're doing!

Break down %26amp; take it to a PRO,if you are so determined to cut (for NO REASON!) any dog's coat ANYWHERE on it's BODY!

Cutting a dog's whiskers: yes or no?

Yeah of course you can cut the whiskers, it's just like men shaving. i would cut them short but not really short. the first time though get an experienced person and watch how they do it. also, take your time, you don't want to catch his eyes now do you. my dog has her whiskers and elelashes cut- it just keeps the out the way

Why does dog fur grow to a certain length then stops, but if u shave it off, it regrows to that same

2009-10-07T04:03:00.001-07:00

for example, my dog's hair is about 3 cm and it never exceeds that length. When my dog goes to the groomer and get's her hair cut, it regrows out to that same length....

Why does dog fur grow to a certain length then stops, but if u shave it off, it regrows to that same length?

It's because that is the lenghth it needs to survive. (in its original origin) Just as it's ear size or muzzle lenghth.

Why does dog fur grow to a certain length then stops, but if u shave it off, it regrows to that same length?

genetics. for example, a sheep dog originally needed longer hair to fend off the cold, while a jack russell doesnt.

Why does dog fur grow to a certain length then stops, but if u shave it off, it regrows to that same length?

Hair has a life cycle that keeps it a certain length. For example, the hair on your head has a life cycle of about 7 years which allows it to grow several feet. Your eyebrows have a lifecycle of about 1 month so they stay short.

Dog's hair is the same way. It only grows for a period of time then falls out so it never gets longer than it should.

Why does dog fur grow to a certain length then stops, but if u shave it off, it regrows to that same length?

genetics has to do with it. there is a dna marker for hundreds of different things to create the pup including the hair length and growth direction.

Shaving a dog?

2009-10-07T04:03:00.000-07:00

I need to shave the hair off of my parent閳ユ獨 dog. Her hair has become severely matted and no one ever brushes her. The vet suggested that we shave her to take care of it. She is a mixed breed; chow/shepherd mix. I used a pair of human clippers on her and it took almost an hour to clip a 6 sq inch section. Her undercoat is very thick and she is getting mats. I am experienced in clipping dogs, but I閳ユ獫e never seen fur that is so thick it causes clippers to over heat! What are some good HEAVY DUTY clippers to use that will cost less than the $100 I've been quoted for grooming?

Shaving a dog?

Good for you for trying to take care of the dog! The best thing to do is to take her to a groomer. For a good set of clippers that will do the job you're looking at around $130 plus $20 each for good blades and you would need several for a big job like that. The reason you would need several blades is so that when one blade gets warm you can take it off and put on a cool blade. A hot blade will cause clipper burn which is painful and irritating to the dogs skin. Spray on lubes don't work that well to cool the blades. Please do NOT try to scissor out the mats. If they are too close to the skin you can accidentally cut the dog. Also shop around for groomers. Beware of a groomer that will not allow you to stay.

Shaving a dog?

u should take her to the groomer it will be easier

Shaving a dog?

have teh dog groomed the good clippers cost nearly $200 or over.

plus if it's really matted as you say teh skin cn easily be cut.

before you go to the groomer call teh vet and see how much they would charge.

Good luck but I will say that if it's a chow mix this is common and they are not easy to do htat's the reason for the cost the hair is hard on the blade and even if you can get teh really expensive clippers you would need clipper blade cooler and problably at least one extra blade and they alone are about $30

Shaving a dog?

take her to a groomer and have them do it. they may charge a little for it, but it will save your dog the agony of having her hair pulled and tugged at. Its not her fault that she wasnt brushed and so its only fair to take her to a professional that can do it with minimal discomfort to her.

please, spend the money and do it for the dogs sake - poor animal.

then i suggest since no body will brush her, then keep her hair shaved - in cold weather it can grow out a little or just put a doggie coat on her and she will be easier to maintain

Shaving a dog?

Do you realize that is a form of cruelty,take the poor thing to the vets to get shaved.I have never heard of a shepherd that needed shaving,the vet will do it for less than $100.00 and if you cannot afford it give the dog to someone who gives a SHITE.

Shaving a dog?

I once had a poodle cross brought to me for clipping that had mats that were so bad, the poor dog's hair was like felt. My clippers couldn't begin to go through it, not to mention that you wouldn't be able to help giving the dog clipper burn at some point. I ended up scissoring the dog, it was the only way I could do it. It took a long time, but he could actually walk again. You might have to try that.

Shaving a dog?

It's going to take a good clipper and sharp blade to get through a dirty, matted coat. Don't wash the dog to clean the coat though, you'll only make the mats tighter and harder to remove. Your only choices are to take the dog to a groomer or buy a decent one. I recommend the Oster Golden A5, they used to be around $100...but it's been a few years since I've bought them. It's possible they're under that now, I just don't know. I'm glad you're trying to help the dog. I hope the owners take better care of her from now on. Mats are painful, can leave sores, attract flies/maggots, etc...not good at all. (BTW, be sure to spray the blade often w/Kool-Lube to keep the blade cutting/cooler. If the blade is still hot, take a break and let it cool. I also don't recommend scissors if the mats are to the skin. In areas that bad, use a #10, #15, #30 or even #40/surgical blade...better than cutting skin!)

Shaving a dog?

A dog that is that severely matted. You just have to sit down in front of the TV with the dog on a sheet. (or outside) and cut the matts out with a (prefer new) pair of scissors. Once you get all the big matts cut out you can then use the clippers. Give him a bath after the hair cut.

Also have iodine to wash any sores you may find. As dogs with horribly matted fur develop sores and will also get maggots under all that matting.

Don't worry about looks right now it is about getting the fur off. He will feel much better.

How cutting hair causes faster growth?

2009-10-07T04:02:00.003-07:00

Someone educated in hair science please explain is there any truth to this well known belief? A prievious entry said that there are receptors in hair roots. When hair is cut the tension at the root is less. This triggers hair growth until the predetermined tension level is reached. This is the first time I heard an explanation that sounds possible. Others that say cutting the split ends causes growth means to me that there is just less breakage so hair appears to grow longer. But the "tension sensor" explanation also answers a question I have had as to why a dog's hair only grows so long.

How cutting hair causes faster growth?

it does NOT make your hair grow faster, it just keeps the dry and brittlel ends off that BRAKE OFF so it looks like your hair isn't growing. Your hair grows from the roots, not the other end

What small breed dog is right for someone who.......?

I can assure you, a dog with their eyes bulging out wont get poked in the eye anymore than a dog with tiny eyes would. I'd suggest a pug, but they have bulged eyes. Your going to have to do some research. Here is a list of small dog breeds...

Bichon Frise. No shedding, hypo-allergenic.

What small breed dog is right for someone who.......?

Well, they have hair over their eyes but whatever.

Papillons and pomeranians.

I have a Jack Russell/Pug mix and it sounds like that would be a great match for what you're looking for. There are lots of JRT/Pug mixes available on petfinder.com and in local shelters. They are very sweet, loving dogs with lots of personality. Good luck!

What small breed dog is right for someone who.......?

Mini poodles are good, but they do have a good bit of hair. Altho the hair is usualy curly and it only needs a trim about once or twice a year, but pretty much most dogs need that. the only problem is this breed has a tendency to be bit pricy. I prefer the docson (sp?) (weender dog) they small and have short hair and most don't have bulgy eyes (globular eyes is the proper term). they're usually pretty ok price wise and a pleasure to raise.

What small breed dog is right for someone who.......?

Pugs are loyal, affectionate, quiet and docile. They are often vivacious and teasing. They like to do whatever it takes to get what they want, often using playful or clever tactics. They are vibrant, very lively and love to play. They are rather independent, strong willed and even forceful for such a little dog. Pugs are amusing, witty and rarely show any aggression. They get along well with children and other animals, often becoming curious of odd or different beings.

Cardigan Welsh Corgis are active, obedient, intelligent and alert. They make good watch dogs, as well as good guard dogs. They can be possessive, and can be scrappy with other dogs. But with their friends and family they are playful, affectionate and loving. They may nip at the heels, trying to herd you or your children. They need strong training in avoiding nipping humans, and they learn quickly. They are fun loving, easygoing, and sprightly. Wary of strangers, they remain devoted to their owners and are usually good with kids. They can be amusing with their jaunty attitude. Welsh Corgis are little dogs with big hearts, hard working and affectionate.

West Highland White Terriers are active, assertive, fun-loving, well-behaved and light-hearted. They are alert and friendly. Being stable, they love to play and will do so with each other or with you. They are courageous, self-reliant and have good self-esteem. They can be independent but mostly rely on their families for love and affection, two things they severely need. They like to dig in the yard and should be trained to avoid this, as they also will kill any vermin they find around the house. Some Westies may not be good with children, as some are more picky than others for a companion. They generally get along well with other dogs and if trained, with other pets such as cats. West Highland White Terriers need consistent attention, exercise and mental stimulation or else they will become lazy and out of shape. If given the opportunity, the Westie will sit on your lap or next to you and enjoy your petting for hours.

I have a Rat Terrier. He is has a short smooth coat, and his eyes don't bulge out. He is small, 3 months old and only 2.5 pounds, but there are different sizes of this breed.

But I agree with l1ghtdark, www.dogbreedinfo.com has a quiz that you can take. That is how I finally decided on a rat terrier.

i suggest a tibetan spaniel. they have medium length hair and not bulging eyes. they are eager to please and really cute.

another one is a miniature pinscher. they have short hair and may be alittle aggresive so idk.

french bulldogs i think are good because they have short hair and are eager to please and smart....well good luck

Who's fault is it, mom or dog?

2009-10-07T04:02:00.001-07:00

A mom is not paying attention to her child as it runs about, the child does one of two things, grabs the dog's hair or grabs the dog's owner, at anyrate, dog bites child and mother, who was in reaching distance of the child, literally less than two feet from the child, grabs the child and runs out of the room away from the dog. The Dog bit once, leaving multiple teeth marks but no blood. person A follows the mother out and offers to get some vitamin E or anything to help with the marks (unaware of if the skin was broken), the mother denies assistance. the dog's history is something to the effect of 3 children bit once each, never on the face, and one mailman attacked due to a faulty gate lock. the dog is a westie, approximately a foot tall, 17-20 pounds. Whose at fault, the dog, or the mother? can the mother be considered negligent?

Who's fault is it, mom or dog?

Personally I would hold the child (for taunting the dog) and then it's mother (for not paying attention) responsible. The law in most states unfortunately hangs this on the dog's owner. Would be worth taking into court.

Who's fault is it, mom or dog?

I'd consider the dog's owner negligent.

Who's fault is it, mom or dog?

Was the mother warned that the dog gets nervous around kids? If not its the dog owners fault. I always warned them ahead of time. Either keep control of the kids or don't bring them to my house.

Who's fault is it, mom or dog?

Dog's owner is in trouble. Law of the land says a dog gets one free bite. In this story, the dog got it's quota. The next bite, they have to put him down.

Who's fault is it, mom or dog?

The dog's owner should have never placed his dog in a situation where he was near a child knowing his bite history.

If the mother knew the dog's bite history then the mother was negligient by placing her child in the situation.

The dog is damned animal who did not posess the brain power to remover HIMSELF from the situation and was the victim of stupid humans!

Who's fault is it, mom or dog?

Like most questions in the real world, the answer is not one or the other, but a combination of factors. Since the dog has a history of biting, the owner should have at least notified the mother of the risks, and at most segregated the dog while others were around. Of course the mother shares responsibility in this situation. It is irresponsible to leave a young child with an unfamiliar animal. If there is no real damage to the child, all parties should be thankful and keep the dog closed off from others, and the child should not be allowed around strange animals (at least until they know how to treat an animal with respect).

Who's fault is it, mom or dog?

Dog owner's fault for being dumb......easy 2 points!

Who's fault is it, mom or dog?

dog should be placed with a responsible owner and not allowed around children. Even possibly put down as it wasn't it's first time being aggressive. Dog should never be allowed around children with out muzzle.

Who's fault is it, mom or dog?

The mother was negligent for not properly watching her child

around a dog and negligent for not asking the owner if the

dog was people friendly.

Who's fault is it, mom or dog?

Dog's owner is in deep doodoo on this one and should hope the mother doesn't sue because she'll win.

Who's fault is it, mom or dog?

I would put the mutt to sleep

What to do about neighbors mean dog?

2009-10-07T04:02:00.000-07:00

I just moved about 5 months ago. The neighbors directly accross the street from me have a dog that is either a pitbull or rotwiler.

Every time I walk out of my house and the dog is there..It tries to jump the fence and go nuts.viciously growels and barks. If the fence were a bit lower, or the dog a hair bigger..It could jump over.There is an adjacent wooden fence, the other day..the dog almost knocked over.it moved a good foot when he jumped at it.

I freaked and grabbed my little 3lb chi and ran back inside. I am terrified of this dog! I now resort to carrying pepper spray.

The dog hasn't got loose yet. I now resort to carrying pepper spray when I go out there.

I don't feel comfortable going to them and saying this because I don't know them..never talked to them. Also, the dog hasn't actually got out yet..and if I go there, the dog might charge out of the house and kill me. What can i do? Send them an annonumus letter?

What to do about neighbors mean dog?

Yes, you could send them an anonymous letter. What is the law in your area? Are there by-laws concerning "menacing" (the term used to describe any aggressive/threatening behaviors that have not yet resulted in a biting incident)?

Your story is why menacing laws are desperately needed. Everyone says, "Why does it take an attack before something can be done about an aggressive dog," but no one wants to do the difficult task of writing and enforcing menacing laws.

As a dog bite researcher, with many years under my belt, every single attack case I've investigated involved a dog with a known history of aggressive behavior - even where it's the dog's first reported bite. (The press just loves, loves, loves to say an attacking dog had never behaved aggressively before. It always turns out to be a complete fabrication.) Signs of aggression tend to follow this pattern of escalation: staring, stiffened body posture, menacing barking, growling, raised lips, lunging, attempted bites, and finally successful bites.

If you step-in and halt the inappropriate behavior at the staring or stiffened body posture stages, then the dog never escalates to the level of growling or lunging or attempted bites.

As someone with years of experience successfully rehabilitating aggressive dogs, it's probably no surprise that not one of my own dogs has ever behaved aggressively. My nine-year-old Great Dane, for instance, has never growled, much less attempted to bite.

Find out what your local by-laws say about menacing behavior. Contact your local animal control department and ask them to visit the residence. If they witness the dog's menacing behavior, you'll have more chance of getting the owners to do something about it. They're probably the types who think an aggressive dog threatening the innocent paper boy, the innocent mailman, the innocent meter reader, and some mythical, phantom "burglar", alike, is a good thing. In reality, this is how unprovoked attacks happen. A dog that feels as threatened by perfectly innocent people and other animals as it would an actual threat, is a danger to everyone.

You shouldn't have to live like that.

What to do about neighbors mean dog?

Pepper spray sounds like a good idea. :)

Kidding. Don't hurt the dog.

Anonymous letter sounds like a better idea.

What to do about neighbors mean dog?

Maybe you should talk to the owners and try to tell them about your concerns. It never hurts to be honest. ; - )

What to do about neighbors mean dog?

Going over and talking to them is the best thing you can do! If you got to meet this dog and the dog got to know you...he may not act that way when you pass by.

What to do about neighbors mean dog?

Keep the pepper spray! Send the letter, if that doesn't work call animal control.

What to do about neighbors mean dog?

The dog might not be mean, just protective.

My neighbors dog will growl and jump and bite at the fence when a person walks by.

But when that dog is with it's owners outside he is the sweetest dog.

Go to the dogs family and tell them of your concerns.

Ask them if you even have a reason to be worried.

What to do about neighbors mean dog?

If you're really that concerned, you should call animal control and let THEM send someone to talk to them. I f you don't say anything, YOU could be that unlucky one that gets hurt. Sooner the better.

What to do about neighbors mean dog?

Call animal controll %26amp; explain the issue. Where I live, you are REQUIRED to have a good steardy fence to keep your dog in your yard. If you have a certain breeds, the fence has to be a certain heigth to prevetn the dog form jumping over it. I know if it was I wouldnt want some mean dog attacking me by jumping or busting what sounds like a pretty crappy fence.

What to do about neighbors mean dog?

this is just wrong.... "the dog is either a pitbull or rotwiler. "?????

wtf.... Pits and Rots do NOT look alike and you just ask this question 10 minutes ago

http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;...

What to do about neighbors mean dog?

if one of your friends has a bigger dog ask them to lend the dog to you so it can scare the **** out of that pitbull. lol thats what i would do :P

What to do about neighbors mean dog?

first of all.. "it is either a pit bull rottweiler".... uhm.. there is a HUGE difference between those two breeds! Color,look,weight.... It's either a rottweiler or a "pit bull" or a completely different breed and you have no idea what you are talking about.

Have you actually seen the dog or is he/she behind the fence where you cannot even see the breed?

The dog is protective... it barks,goes crazy... he/she is warning you... so what.. walk past the house like nothing's happening. The dog knows and feels that you are scared, therefore it barks even more! Also, in case you can see the dog.. DON'T look him straight in the eyes and stand there scared stiff.... I have the feeling that everything and every movement you do only enforced the dog's behavior !

and NO you cannot just call animal control. Nothing happened... you cannot even tell us the breed and are just simply speculating it MUST be one of those "dangerous breeds".

Please, wy don't you calm down for a second and think ... maybe then you will realize that you are probably making a way bigger deal out of it, than it probably is.

EDIT: WHO DID YOU ASK????????

What to do about neighbors mean dog?

A pitbull or rottweiler are two totally different looking dogs - unless you haven't really been able to see the dog are you just assuming that since its mean that it must be one of those breeds?

My advise would be NOT to use the pepper spray because if the dog is attacking you and you pepper spray it, you will just piss it off even more and it will attack even harder!

You need to talk to the owner of the dog - whether or not you've met them yet. You need to let them know what their dog is doing and see what they are willing to do to help.

What to do about neighbors mean dog?

First of all you have to introduce your self and explain you situation to these folks they have no idea until you say something. They just might be nice and yet might be jerks but until you talk to them you have no idea and you will not be able to take action until then. Good Luck

What to do about neighbors mean dog?

i would call animal control to see what you can do, if you are not the only person that has a child i would try explaining to them that there is alot of other kids (doesnt matter if there is only one other..lol), i had a NEXT door neighbor that had a really big dog that was mean and it bit me and i called animal control (they took pics and all) they told my nieghbors to get rid of it and they left. She never did get rid of it. finally the situation got to a point that it bit another neighbor girl and they called the cops instead of the animal control and they got rid of it for them instead! i hope you dont have to make it go that far for you and your child's safety!!

What to do about neighbors mean dog?

I would suggest finding out their phone number, calling them and ask them to meet their dog. Maybe after a bit of time, have a play date with your little guy.

If the dog gets to know you, he will be excited to see you, less threatened and his dominant behavior will go away.

What to do about neighbors mean dog?

It is either a pitbull or a rott? Nice. And you are walking by with a 3 lb. chi...Is your dog barking at this neighboring dog? It seem to just be guarding it's territory from others. Does your dog ever bark out the window or when people come over. Same thing. Maybe because it's only 3 lbs. it's not as threatening but it is doing the same thing all dogs do and it is just as annoying whether it's 3lbs. or 103lbs.

But freaking out and grabbing your little dog is really not calming the situation. Since you have a dog I'm sure you know that you have to be the one in control and establish hiearchy, right? By showing fear to this other dog, you are giving it more power over you and confidence that it can boss you around. My advice would be to just ignore it and walk on by, with authority. It's probably always gonna bark, but you can't let it know you are scared.

Animal control is not going to do anything unless there is an attack or a loose dog. I'm not sure confronting your neighbor is going to do much either, you are basically just afraid of his dog, what do you want him to do? Maybe just ask him to reinforce the fence from what you witnessed, but other than that, I'm not sure how it will go over.

What to do about neighbors mean dog?

the best idea would be to try to avoid the dog or you can just go up and confront your neighbors

Help... .My dog bit 5 people and wont let me do his hair.. .Now the groomers called him bad and sent

2009-10-07T04:01:00.003-07:00

He is a 6 year old Maltese Poodle that is intact.

he looks very funny ...because the groomers could only shave

his back, and he has a mane of hair.

They said he has to be sedated before the will ever except him.

How can I get him to listen to me when I try to groom him?

He has never bit me YET.

Help... .My dog bit 5 people and wont let me do his hair.. .Now the groomers called him bad and sent him home?

The dog needs to be neutered.

The dog should be muzzled.

The dog needs to understand it is not pack leader.

And give the dog a large dose of benadryl before you take him to a groomer.

Help... .My dog bit 5 people and wont let me do his hair.. .Now the groomers called him bad and sent him home?

Every groomer I have ever taken a dog to puts a muzzle on it for these problems.If your dog is that high strung he probably should be given something from the vet to calm him on grooming days and this wouldn't be a problem. Take him to another groomer and tell them the situation so they know what they are in for.

Help... .My dog bit 5 people and wont let me do his hair.. .Now the groomers called him bad and sent him home?

what about those tablets you can get to calm dogs down im not sure what they are called but a few people i know use them on bonfire night to keep there dog calm !

Help... .My dog bit 5 people and wont let me do his hair.. .Now the groomers called him bad and sent him home?

Matter of time before he will. He's assumede he is leader, so here's what you do - you take him to obedience training, a nice LONG course of it.

Help... .My dog bit 5 people and wont let me do his hair.. .Now the groomers called him bad and sent him home?

First he should be desexed. Second he needs to be shown who is the boss and who is the dog. You need to establish rules that show the dog you are pack leader and he is in your pack, not the other way round. All bad behaviours can be fixed.

Eat before your dog and let him see you eating your meals first

Don't let him sleep on the bed

Don't let him sit on the couch next to you

Don't talk to much to him and don't say his name all the time.. they just hear blah, blah, blah... only speak to him when you want his attention. Only cuddle him when you want to cuddle him not when he is seeking attention. When he does do something wrong ie, tries to bite, immediately put him in a room or crate for 10 minutes on his own (just like the naughty corner!). You must be consistent. Get a mussel for him when you are grooming him and ignore his bad behaviour. Tell him he is a good boy and just carry on grooming.

Help... .My dog bit 5 people and wont let me do his hair.. .Now the groomers called him bad and sent him home?

You might try to muzzle him or go to a different groomer. Dogs seem to know people and maybe it has something to do with that person. My Akita mix is like that. He does'nt see my son a lot but sees my nephew more. He really does'nt like my nephew but loves my son. Weird I know.

Help... .My dog bit 5 people and wont let me do his hair.. .Now the groomers called him bad and sent him home?

fix him. that cuts aggression way down, and is healthy if you aren't breeding him. either keep him shaved, or see if the vet will groom him.

Help... .My dog bit 5 people and wont let me do his hair.. .Now the groomers called him bad and sent him home?

1. Get him neutered.

2. Obedience training, or read the book "The Dog Listener" - it's available on DVD too and it's great for establishing yourself as the boss - that's what's going on here for sure.

Help... .My dog bit 5 people and wont let me do his hair.. .Now the groomers called him bad and sent him home?

Neuter the dog

Obedience training

Should be muzzled while groomed

Don't count on him not biting you, it may happen yet

Help... .My dog bit 5 people and wont let me do his hair.. .Now the groomers called him bad and sent him home?

buy him a bezel and also get him trained

Help... .My dog bit 5 people and wont let me do his hair.. .Now the groomers called him bad and sent him home?

There is hope for your dog! But you should start training him (more) ASAP. There are some really excellent dog obedience training courses out there that you can use. Be careful though - there are some pretty bad ones too. Here's one I recommend (a ton of people have had success with this one):

My dog and my neighbor's dog?

2009-10-07T04:01:00.002-07:00

We live in a neighbor hood that has houses next to each other (side by side and behind). My wiemeraner barks at my neighbors dog (and it barks back) so much that people call the police. And they yell at the both of us. He does not bark at any other dogs. His hair sticks up like he is ready to fight. He is not mean at all he plays nice with my 3 month old chihuahua. How can I stop him from barking and being aggressive with the other dog?

My dog and my neighbor's dog?

I had a similar problem with one of my dogs and the neighbours dog - they would try and attack each other through the chain link fence!! My neighbour and I took the dogs out front on their leashes and they loved each other, but as soon as we put them in the back yard they were back to attacking each other again. We solved the problem by spraying them with the garden hose when they went at it.

My dog and my neighbor's dog?

Don't leave him alone in the backyard to bark at the other dog.

My dog and my neighbor's dog?

weimaraners are very vocal dogs anyways ..and they are protective ..maybe he dont need to be out when the other dog is out ..

My dog and my neighbor's dog?

1) Don't leave him in your backyard!

2) there are tone correctors and spray collars in stores. I don't care for the shock ones, but the tone and spray ones are okay.

here is an example~ http://www.drsfostersmith.com/product/pr...

good luck.

My dog and my neighbor's dog?

Do not take your dog out at the same time, if he does not see the dog, there will be no barking, but does need more socializing with the neighbors dog just to keep him from being so aggressive towards it....

Dog owners in cold climates, how do you keep your dogs warm in the winter when you go out for walks?

2009-10-07T04:01:00.000-07:00

For those of you dog owners that live in places that have cold winters or places that are cold all the time, such as New York, Chicago, etc. How do you keep your dogs warm in the winter when you go out for walks? Multiple layers? Is the dog's hair cut or long? I'm from New York, and this is my first dog, and this will be her first winter with me, and I want to make sure she stays warm and comfy during those walks.

Dog owners in cold climates, how do you keep your dogs warm in the winter when you go out for walks?

If your dog walks on ice and especially snow in "bare feet" it is important to de-ice her when you get home. I'm not kidding! You can put paws into warm (NEVER HOT) water and melt the ice that sometimes forms between paws. I've had three lab mixes through the years, in New York with lots of snowstorms, and never used coats or doggie boots. My dogs loved playing in the snow and we never had problems except that on occasion they would get wet inside the ears so you can dry them very gently (and never deep, just the outer part). Have fun! I think you are very considerate of your dog's needs and she is lucky to have you!

Dog owners in cold climates, how do you keep your dogs warm in the winter when you go out for walks?

i put little booties on him and i bought a "dog jacket". it works fairly well =D

Dog owners in cold climates, how do you keep your dogs warm in the winter when you go out for walks?

i live in utah and it does get very cold here tons of snow and i buy jackets for my dogs big or small and i also have booties to protect there feet

Dog owners in cold climates, how do you keep your dogs warm in the winter when you go out for walks?

They make nice fleece jackets for our pooches. I have 2 long haird and 1 short haired dog - I'm lucky enough that they're all the same size and can wear the same jacket (I walk them separately). They stay warm enough, but I wouldn't leave them outside for extended periods.

Dog owners in cold climates, how do you keep your dogs warm in the winter when you go out for walks?

I live in Chicago. I have a mixed breed, 25 lbs, short hair. Last winter (my first winter having her) i just had her in a sweater and she was fine. I talked to her trainer about it though and asked him what he did for his dogs and he said he just put them on a leash and took them out - no need for anything else. So this year I'm not going to do anything unless I see she is uncomfortable.

Dog owners in cold climates, how do you keep your dogs warm in the winter when you go out for walks?

**** mine refuse to come in thehouse when its cold.

When I finally get them in they have matted snow caked in under their undercoats out there having a BLAST!! THe first snow they can't get enough!!!

They keep me warm at night that's their job in the winter.

Summer is another story. THey go out do business and come right back in and lay down. IF the pool is up a couple will get in it but they want back in on the ac vents.

Dog owners in cold climates, how do you keep your dogs warm in the winter when you go out for walks?

My dog goes out in the yard, if she gets cold she comes in. God gave her hair to keep warm. Sometimes if it is really cold she won't go out at all, she will hold it for a long time.

Dog owners in cold climates, how do you keep your dogs warm in the winter when you go out for walks?

Generally, as long as you keep moving, big dogs will stay warm. You can get booties to protect the feet, but unless you will be stopping a lot, they do okay. If your dog is small though, it may need a jacket.

Dog owners in cold climates, how do you keep your dogs warm in the winter when you go out for walks?

Most dogs cope just fine with the colad - better than they do the heat, usually. But that grit and salt put on the roads and pavements can cause dogs pads ALOT of pain. You might want to get her some practical boots?

I'm from Scotland - New York in the winter sounds MAGICAL to me! =)

Dog owners in cold climates, how do you keep your dogs warm in the winter when you go out for walks?

What kind of dog is it? I have a shepherd mix and he doesn't need anything on to keep him warm but I also have a chihuahua and she wears a sweater because she does get cold. Check out your local pet store they always sell a variety of sweaters and jackets. See what fits your dog the best and looks the most comfortable. Try to take her with you so that you can try things on her. Good luck!!

Dog owners in cold climates, how do you keep your dogs warm in the winter when you go out for walks?

Dog owners in cold climates, how do you keep your dogs warm in the winter when you go out for walks?

I live in Eastern Ontario, the winter here can be cold. My dog has longer hair so I just use booties since she is always getting ice in her paws, if its windy I put a coat on her. She loves winter.

Dog owners in cold climates, how do you keep your dogs warm in the winter when you go out for walks?

Do it soon as we are in the fall season now

Keep Warm and Cozy

Dog owners in cold climates, how do you keep your dogs warm in the winter when you go out for walks?

I have short haired dogs. We live in Ontario.

Most of the time, their own fur is enough to keep them warm while walking. If it's really, really cold (like minus 40) then their feet get cold and we only stay out long enough for them to do their business.

Dog owners in cold climates, how do you keep your dogs warm in the winter when you go out for walks?

Most dogs do okay in the winter as long it's for short periods of time, but they do have jackets that help, as well as boot things (not all dogs will enjoy the boots).. We have a fenced in yard, so for the business end we just let them out and without anything on.. do their business and come in.. for real walks (a way of burning up the extra energy) if it's not too bad out, and the sidewalk is clear enough I'll walk them with the coat and boots, if it's really bad I use the treadmill.

Dog owners in cold climates, how do you keep your dogs warm in the winter when you go out for walks?

You can purchase a jacket/sweater to keep your pet warm. Also, booties may be a great idea for your pet too.

Dog owners in cold climates, how do you keep your dogs warm in the winter when you go out for walks?

I have 2 small dogs and live in the midwest - we had a couple of weeks of below and zero temps last winter, brrr. Terriers don't do well in snow, it freezes between their toes and they limp along so our walks are relatively short - haven't bought booties. I leave their coats longer in the winter and avoid bathing them because I believe the natural oils in their coats affords some protection. Last year I ordered custom fleeces on e-bay for walks when it drops below 30 degrees - very reasonable, $10.95 each, $6.15 s%26amp;h. and easy to velcro on. OMG, just thinking about last winter makes me want to hibernate.

Dog owners in cold climates, how do you keep your dogs warm in the winter when you go out for walks?

I live in Scandinavia and have never taken any special measures to keep my dog warm on walks, but then I had a Tervueren (Belgian Shepherd), who had no problems with the cold.

For a small dog such as yours who will chill faster, I would recommend getting a special dog jacket to keep her warm.

Another important thing to consider when you live in a cold climate is the dog's paws - ice and snow can get stuck and lumped together in the hair between the pads, scraping the paws and generally causing discomfort. Make sure that you check her paws after every walk in the snow. Also, if they salt the roads and pavement to get rid of the snow and ice, this can also be an irritant. It's a good idea to get some "paw wax" from the petstore (it might be called differently where you come from) and rub it on her paws before taking her out for walks in winter.

Dog owners in cold climates, how do you keep your dogs warm in the winter when you go out for walks?

Polar fleece! You can buy it on Ebay!

My minpins never go out in the winter without their polar fleece. If I didn't put it on them, I would be finding accidents in the house (they are stubborn animals).

I live north of Chicago.

Get a sweaterknit coat that is fairly loose (not too tight fittng) for your dog to wear in weather that is below 32 degrees.

How do you stop dog to dog possessiveness agression?

2009-10-07T04:00:00.001-07:00

I just got a 6 months old puppy who won't let my 1 year old dog go anywer near him when there is food. My older dog is very submissive and gentle so the puppy picks on him. The puppy attacks my dog (snarls, growls, bites) and my dog can't even eat when he is around. and even after eating, he can smell the food on my dog's hair and he attacks my dog again.. he only does this to the other dog and not to me.. so far.. he might start doing so if i dnt stop the behavior ryt away.. but the problem is i dnt know how to stop it. what do i do? i want my puppy to eat in peace even if my older dogs sniffs him or goes near him.

How do you stop dog to dog possessiveness agression?

Hand feed your puppy at least one meal a day. Slowly work into hand feeding both dogs at the same time. When the puppy growls or snaps at the older dog, use a spray bottle to get him to stop. It is also okay to LIGHTLY smack the growling dog on the snout and say "bad dog". Equally as important ... reward his good behavior with lavish praise and even an extra treat.

How do you stop dog to dog possessiveness agression?

You let your dog know that the toy belongs to you that you are the pack leader in the household. You make the dog drop it and back away from you, dont just take it away from them. Then you can give it to the other dog, this will take a little bit of time but its the best way to resolve the situation, because your dog will lview you as the pack leader

How do you stop dog to dog possessiveness agression?

My you have a problem. First of all you need to understand how dogs think, they are pack animals and within a pack there is a leader and the puppy clearly thinks he's it. You need to establish your role as leader of the pack. When correcting the behavior you need to be extremely calm and assertive. Establish your role first, without the presence of food. How do you feed the dogs, free feed? If you free feed stop doing this..it is never good to free feed your dog. Please feel free to email me for more help as some explainations are to lenghy and I would like feed back, from the people I help.

How do you stop dog to dog possessiveness agression?

Hey there. Never attempt to smack your dog as punishment. It's a great thing that your dog is not aggressive towards you now - and you certainly want to keep it that way.

Prevent this kind of fighting in your home. The puppy should be separated from your older dog and hand fed by you for mealtime. You'll want to ask your pup for simple behaviors such as sits, downs, and hand touches with his nose so that you can reward him with his food. This activity will also have the added benefit of preventing future resource guarding.

And I suggest that you get a real live trainer over to your home asap. As you suspect, this will get worse - especially if you try to physically punish this dog! - so get some help.

How do you stop dog to dog possessiveness agression?

What the puppy is lacking is an Alpha dog. That, coupled with the dominant behavior that he is starting to show already. He will eventually challenge you, as well as the other dog. You need to show him, by actions, not words, that his behavior is not acceptable and you will not tolerated. That starts at the first sign of a growl or even a hint of one. He needs to be physically corrected at the moment it happens. Depending on the dog's temperament, the correction can be a good leash correction or worse. If you keep ignoring this behavior, it will not go away, it will manifest in other ways and you may not like them.

How do you stop dog to dog possessiveness agression?

As someone has already mentioned, physical punishment is not the best method. However, you do need to correct the behavior when it happens and act accordingly.

First, when you feed your dogs, I'm assuming that they have seperate bowls. When you start, ensure that the bowls are on opposite ends of the room. Feed the older dog first, ensuring that the puppy is under your control and doesn't lunge for the bowl. (You might have to put the leash on and step on it)

When the puppy stops lunging and isn't growling / snarling, praise! Part of your praise can be taking the puppy to his bowl and allowing him to eat. You will have to monitor to ensure that the puppy STAYS at his bowl to eat. If the puppy starts to go to the other bowl, or starts to snarl / growl at the other dog, say "WRONG!" and take the puppy away from his bowl (and preferably out of the room) for about 5 seconds. Then come back in and let him start eating again. Do this EVERY time he acts up.

Once you can get the puppy to eat ONLY his food without incident, you can start to slowly move the bowls closer. You'll have to repeat the above behavior of watching closely and removing the puppy. DO NOT move the bowls closer together until the puppy is behaving appropriately.

*****If you are free feeding, you need to stop. This will help establish you as the alpha dog

When the dogs are interacting without food, be sure to praise when both are playing nicely. When the puppy gets aggressive, tell him "WRONG" and remove him from the area. Be sure that you don't play with him or continue talking to him when you are removing him - that is just attention that he is being rewarded with.

You can also use your older dog as a distraction, as well. When the puppy is snacking, take your older dog on a leash and walk by the puppy at a good distance (ensure that someone else is around to help, and has your puppy on the leash and under control).

When you walk your dog past the puppy and he doesn't react badly, have the person holding the puppy praise and give a treat. You can start getting closer - be SURE to back away to a larger distance if the puppy starts to growl / snarl.

It will take some time, and can be a little difficult. I would definitely find a good pet trainer in your area - they can help you with this, as well as be a good resource in case you have an issue you can't resolve.

How do you stop dog to dog possessiveness agression?

My first suggestion is to buy or borrow (your local library may have it or be able to get it for you) Jean Donaldson's book "Mine! A Guide to Resource Guarding in Dogs" and read it cover to cover. As you obviously know, the puppy's behavior is unacceptable. This book will give you an understanding of the behavior and outline steps you can take to correct the behavior WITHOUT violence (which usually just makes resource guarding behavior worse and is likely to lead to your puppy acting aggressively towards you during meal time).

In addition to reading up on resource guarding, it may be helpful for you to contact a trainer who has experience with dog-dog aggression. The book I suggested is great and is written in a way that you don't have to be an animal behaviorist to understand, but nothing replaces actually being shown how to employ a technique.

I want a dog but I dont know what the kind of breed would be best for me?

2009-10-07T04:00:00.000-07:00

I would love playing things like fetch, tug-o-war, tag and go for maybe 1 medium walk with my dog. I want a small dog like a lap dog but nothing to small like a chihuahua because they are too fragile. I wouldn't mind brushing my dog's hair 3 times a week 20 minutes each time. I would also like a dog that could amuse itself for a while like when i have to go to school (don't worry ill leave the tv on and give it lots and lots of toys) and i wanna dog that will snuggle with me from time to time. And I would like the dog to be fairly intelligent, like it'd be easy to housebreak them. Which dog would be comfortable with my lifestyle?

My friend told me a westie or a Pomeranian...

I want a dog but I dont know what the kind of breed would be best for me?

I think a westie is nice. There may be a little training to show how things work arouund the house but they are very sweet loving dogs. It's very playful, alert, and a little independent. This dog can handle any kind of play. This dog is very energetic but compared to its size, it get a little tired so it only needs medium walks.

I want a dog but I dont know what the kind of breed would be best for me?

Well....if it was not an issue of size, I would say a Boxer.....Very smart, fun, loyal dogs!!

I want a dog but I dont know what the kind of breed would be best for me?

I think u would like a beagle very very much! A westie isgreat to but pomerainan No Way!

I want a dog but I dont know what the kind of breed would be best for me?

I have a TOY FOX TERRIER. She weighs almost 10 pounds. Short hair, so brushing is not required. She is the sweetest thing! She is very much a snuggle bug. She is also very smart. She knows several tricks and commands, and was also very easy to house break. Oh yeah, she likes to watch tv.

I want a dog but I dont know what the kind of breed would be best for me?

I suggest getting a book of dog breeds. One good one is The Encyclopedia of Dog Breeds. It tells you all of the breeds of the attention they need in each of the areas you mentioned. Whatever you decide, make sure you have made an informed decision, and that will give you peace of mind knowing you have made a sound choice. It will also help if you get to know EVERYTHING you possibly can about the breeds you are considering. Some have their own forums on the internet where you can ask questions about potential breeds and really make the best choice for yourself and the dog.

I want a dog but I dont know what the kind of breed would be best for me?

You ca find TONS of dogs meeting all of your requirements at your local shelter and not just mixed breeds. They have a huge # of purebreds that they put to sleepe every day as well.

But if you insist on a breed recommendation I would look into the Cavaler King Charles Spaniel. A bit pricey... but a great dog that fits all of you above criteria.

I want a dog but I dont know what the kind of breed would be best for me?

you sound so young, and i'm not quite sure you understand what your getting in to.. No matter the breed, you can't guarentee its going to be exactly what you want and how you want it. I would suggest maybe volunteering at a animal rescue or a shelter and help out with the animals there to see how much time and effort goes into caring for them. You have to train them, and if you get one when it is a puppy, that will take a lot of time that your not aware it will need. I have had sleepless nights raising puppies. But i would google dog breeds, and there are websites out there that will help you choose a dog for your life style. good luck, and don't forget to talk about it with your parents.

I want a dog but I dont know what the kind of breed would be best for me?

I would try a Havanese. They are hypoallergenic, does not shed, under 20 pounds and are very smart(she picked up things quickly and was very easy to housebreak). We have one that we got as a rescue, and we just love her. We brush her a few times a week and can exercise her with a small walk every night. She loves to play anything and be right there with you. She is great with kids and loves to be around people in general.

She easily keeps herself amused all day while we are at work and enjoys simply being in the same room with us when we get home.

Havanese is a breed that not a lot of people have heard of, we highly recommend this breed.

I want a dog but I dont know what the kind of breed would be best for me?

good luck!

One dog breed site I like is http://dogbreedinfo.com/

I want a dog but I dont know what the kind of breed would be best for me?

I have a Lhasa Apso, she is active, but snuggles. She has long hair so I brush it out every few days. She loves to go for walks, is a great lap dog. And was very easy to house train... However I would recommend you read up on crate training when the time comes, it helps with the house breaking and leaveing your dog in a crate while you are gone is better for the dog and for you. (all puppies chew)

I want a dog but I dont know what the kind of breed would be best for me?

HI,,, I have 2 poms and i am going to tell you that they are great,,, no problem with them ,,,easy to train and you woulds be so surprised on how that are so different to other breeds of dogs,,, with pome they learn very quick ,,, but the key is to train them at a puppy stage ,,, so if you decide to get one you will need to get it from a puppy so that you can start to train ''

my poms are like my kids i love them so much,,, they are a big part of our family..

I wish you the best of luck,,,

I want a dog but I dont know what the kind of breed would be best for me?

You are a young girl ... a dog lives for about 13 years and and he will love you more than everyone else in the world. Once there will be the day you will fall in love with a boy. And there will be no person in the world your dog hates more than your boyfriend. Then you must decide your dog or your boyfriend. It's natural that you decide for your bf and that will kill your best friend --- your dog and you will never get rid of the feeling that you killed your best friend. First you must convince your parents that they want a dog also and that the dog stays at home with your parents when you are leaving. I had two dogs a German Shepherd and a dachshund. If you don't need protection but a dog to snuggle take a dachshund, he will always be glad to snuggle with you and he will be sad when you are sad, but if you are too long sad he has a lot of ideas to make you laugh again. A shepherd obeys if dachshund has his own personality and he will be convinced in a very diplomatic way. If I would be in the situation a shepherd (he is intelligent, and will protect you) or a dachshund ( he is not intelligent - he is genious) if I need a companion I would take a dachshund.

I want a dog but I dont know what the kind of breed would be best for me?

I would suggest a cardigan welsh corgi. They are fun, loyal, laid back dogs. Don't confuse them with Pembrokes without the tails who tend to be more high energy. cardis are great family dogs who love children and bond well with their masters. Though they can be cautious of strangers, most warm up easily. they are also very sturdy cause they are bred as herding dogs for ducks, sheep, and even cattle, but are much more laid back than border collies. They are the best dogs you could ask for. Males can weigh up to forty lbs at about 12 inches high and females tend to be smaller. be careful, though both genders can become loving companions, dog are more laid back than girls who can at (especially if you have more than one) quite b*tchy.

Our family has decided we have gotten to the point that a dog would be great. Yahoo used to have a dog breed recommender, I can't find it anymore. I keep doing searcheds on the net for another breed recommender, but none of the links seem to work. Anyone know of a dog breed recommender that actually works? We haven't decided if we want a big dog/little dog; short hair/long hair (probably short hair now that I type that...) we have cats and a 2 1/2 year old...I know the recomendation is waiting until the youngest is 3 (almost there.) I want time to research the breed and make an informed decision. Any help/ideas would be appreciated...

This is a good resource. Just remember they are not responsible for the animal you buy from any of there resources.

Not only research the kind of breed you want, but do extensive research on the breeder.

Some years ago I found out this the hard way and got a dog with seizures, she did not live long and the breeder did not care what she was breeding I found out after talking to her. That dog had papers up the butt and was supposed to be show quality....

Well I don't know of any better advisers than the people here, so here is my opinion. One good set of candidates would be the terriers around children, also the herding breeds are good with kids!!

Good luck on your search and take your time, it is a long time commitment!!

Anyone know where to find a dog breed recommender?

Those things NEVER work... go to the AKC site (www.akc.org) and look at the various breeds... each of y'all select a few that you seem to like and list them... find the common ones then go to the breed sites listed on the AKC site -- there will be a description of the dogs and what they were bred for -- there will also be a link to the parent club of each of the breeds and you can go there and read up more on the various breeds -- you can then contact the breeder referal person from these breeds and see if you can locate someone in your area that knows about the breeds to help teach you about them or where you can meet representatives of the breeds. You can find if there is going to be a dog show and/or trial in your area and go meet several representatives at the show/trials. Talk to a lot of people - do a lot of research - learn a whole lot about the breeds and what their health, temperament and structure should be like and see if the mentors/breeders think these are suitable breeds for you. The mentors/breeders can help you locate a nice litter if you are suitable and you can learn more and decide what you might want to do with the dog - obedience, rally, agility, hunting, whatever... It is great that you are being responsible and learning about the dogs you might want before you get one -- most people just impulse buy and then end up with a problem on their hands that the shelters have to deal with later... Any help I can give please don't hesitate to contact...

add: There is no such thing as 'akc certified breeders' -- a big red flag is if a breeder offers puppies on the internet and second if they say something like 'member of the AKC' -- the AKC doesn't have memberships - they register dogs and all that means is the lineage of the dog has supposedly been maintained in paperwork - it in no way evidences a responsible breeder -- people breeding dogs registered with other fly by night registries, like ConKC etc., are not on face responsible but just because a person has AKC registered dogs doesn't mean they know or care what they are doing.

What type of dog will I not be allergic to.....dog hairs make me very ill!!!?

2009-08-01T17:00:00.002-07:00

Hi,

MY two children are desperate for a dog and due to a severe allergy, the answer is always NO!!

Any animal hair gives me an asthma attack and if I touch them my skin becomes red, itchy and with raised hives.

I heard that some dogs have no fur and my son has asked me to post a question.

PLease help......I am desperate.

What type of dog will I not be allergic to.....dog hairs make me very ill!!!?

Hon, it is the dog's dander you are allergic to, not the actual hair. A chihuahua is a breed that has been clinically proven to take asthma away from kids. Back in the 80's when I was a Navy Nurse, we had a pediatrician that would actually prescribe a chihuahua to kids for that purpose. Good luck!

What type of dog will I not be allergic to.....dog hairs make me very ill!!!?

try and research about poodles.....apparently they are the best for people with allergies and asthma as they have actual 'hair' and not fur....worth a try...good luck :D edit... lol @ no fur at all...dont think she meant that LOL!! ~ oppps ...oh dear @ cant go near the poodles....ummmm....ever considered of one of those hairless egyptian cats??? just a random thought :)

What type of dog will I not be allergic to.....dog hairs make me very ill!!!?

It is rare for a dog not to have any fur but there are dogs that do not shed their fur. If you want a dog that doesn't shed I would go with a poodle or collie.

What type of dog will I not be allergic to.....dog hairs make me very ill!!!?

Yeah but do you really want a dog with no hair? Kinda scary.

What type of dog will I not be allergic to.....dog hairs make me very ill!!!?

I know poodles are famous for having extremely low pet-dander levels, thus the popularity in poodle crosses lately (Shi-poos, cockapoos, etc.) Hairless breeds are extremely expensive and require being shipped in from other parts of the country generally. You might go to your local animal shelter and see how you react to any toy poodles they might have.

What type of dog will I not be allergic to.....dog hairs make me very ill!!!?

there are dogs out there that are hypoallergenic. these breeds are considered the most suitable for people with allergies. though they do produce dander it is very little so very few people express allergic reactions when near one. good luck!

What type of dog will I not be allergic to.....dog hairs make me very ill!!!?

Poodles don't shed hair, and their are a few other breeds (not springing to mind).

But no guarantee on the allergy. Many people are not allergic to poodles that are allergic to other dogs, but nothing for certain says this will be the case for you.

What type of dog will I not be allergic to.....dog hairs make me very ill!!!?

My sister has 2 poodles, as she has an allergy. She has no adverse side effects from them.

The person who recommended a Collie is wrong. They shed like mad, I have one!

LHASA APSO

the perfect pup! I have severe asthma, yet I have (and had) a Lhasa.

They are the sweetest -if you can get them mixed with a terrier - they are so awesome and temperment is the best!

What type of dog will I not be allergic to.....dog hairs make me very ill!!!?

May not be the hair you are allergic to then- it may well be the shed skin (urgh) keep saying no, it's a good lesson for kids to understand that they can't always have what they want. And you know that after the first fortnight, you'll be the one cleaning up after it and caring for it!

Like the ad's in the 80's "Just say no"

What type of dog will I not be allergic to.....dog hairs make me very ill!!!?

The pet allergy problem in the U.S. is considerable; about 10 percent of the U.S. population is allergic to animals, according to the American College of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology. For those persons afflicted with asthma, the rate is even higher - approximately 25%. Allergic reactions to pets can range from bothersome (itchy or watery eyes) to downright dangerous, such as asthma attacks that constrict breathing. There are hypoallergenic dog breeds that are most suitable for people with pet allergies. But no dog is 100% hypoallergenic. Heres what they look like: http://images.google.com/images?hl=en%26amp;q=...

Some dont have much fur. Some are a little ugly. But there are ones like terriers and stuff that are hypoallergenic.

What type of dog will I not be allergic to.....dog hairs make me very ill!!!?

I believe poodles are good for people with allergies. They dont cast their coat you have to have them clipped.

Well, my Shih Tzu is about 6 mos and till now, it has not cause any worsenin on my son's asthma. My son does suffer from severe asthma but then again, he also takes meds on a daily basis. FYI: Shih Tzu's do not have fur instead they have human hair. Actually, this just reminded me to call the groomer.....it needs a trim :)

What type of dog will I not be allergic to.....dog hairs make me very ill!!!?

I think you should stop and say that you can't have a dog. No matter what your allergic to them and I know some dogs have no fur but they dont look very nice, well they do but i prefer dogs with fur. I heard about poodles are good but its your allergy they must understand this. I would suggest a rabbit but you might be allergic to that. I think mice/hamsters are the best way but I would go and see the docotor about this before getting a dog or other animal to see if you are allergic to the species or not.

Awwwww you miss out without a dog!! If you need a animal less trouberling fish is a good idea!!!

What type of dog will I not be allergic to.....dog hairs make me very ill!!!?

You need a Chinese Crested! in fact the world would be a much happier place if everybody had at least one! They can not fail to put a smile on your face - Mine treats every morning like it's the first he's ever seen! They're energetic, lively, funny, affectionate and just downright cute! I've never seen a dog so agile! He's also a little over breed standard size and very robust - not as delicate as they look! Your son might like to do agility or flyball with one depending how old he is. They are very warm to the touch regardless of having no hair, like little hot water bottles!

edit: btw, my boy is far prettier than those on google images! There are two body types and mine is a cobby, so more robust than them!

A Bijon Frisse(don`t know if I`ve spelt this correctly), my brother has just bought one.I was holding the dog last week and I was wearing a black sweater. Not a single hair on it.

They don`t grow very big and seem to be self exercising, they are never still. Obviously need to take her walkies, but a very sociable little pooch.

How long should I spend on brushing my dogs hair?

2009-08-01T16:59:00.003-07:00

I bought a new nifty tool that is supposed to remove the under coat. It works very well and has taken a lot of hair off of my dogs, but how much is too much? I just spent an hour on my largest dog and I haven't even done his legs yet.

Should I keep brushing til no more hair comes off on it (instead of on my furniture)? Or will it just keep eating at all of my dogs hair?

*This thing is a metal band with teeth on it*

How long should I spend on brushing my dogs hair?

Shedding blades are great. I use it once a week on my girl perhaps for half an hour total.

Just be careful around their "bony" parts and inner legs.

How long should I spend on brushing my dogs hair?

just brush once all over, when there's a lot of hair coming out, then, keep brushing til there isn't much in ur brush anymore, i mean, if you haven't brushed your dog in say, 6 months, then, yes, a lot will come out, especially if ur dog has a lot of furr, but don't spend like two plus hours brushing ur dog, they can lose their hair (more than what ur willing to get out), it can dry their skin and irritate it and, yeah. just brush all over once, and then a week later, do it again, and eventually ur dog won't have any loose hair, and nearly not as much as what is/was on ur sofa.

How long should I spend on brushing my dogs hair?

It depends on the dog. If it doesn't shed a lot then you should brush to much. However if it is a shedding dog then you could be brushing forever because they have a lot of loose and dead fur. I brush until you can run your fingers through once without getting a bunch of fur flying off. Also if you were removing any hair that wasn't loose yet your dog would probably tell you.

How long should I spend on brushing my dogs hair?

I would give your dog some breaks.....do a little at a time each day. You want to get all that hair out...but working on him for so long may be hard on him

How long should I spend on brushing my dogs hair?

If you're usung a "Furminator" just brush briefly ----5-10 minutes---daily. Over time less hair will come off but keep in mind that this is the time of year their summer coat is shedding %26amp; the winter coat is coming in. They need that protection in the colder weather.

How long should I spend on brushing my dogs hair?

I guess 2-5 mins/day, maybe more.

How long should I spend on brushing my dogs hair?

as a groomer i have seen a lot of different shedding tool. while there is nothing that works miracles, i use a furminator with best shot shampoo. one downside is the furminator if you use it is one spot too much you will start to brush the dog bald. every few days brush the dog out, and every week give the dog a bath and i would reccomend to get a kong zoom groom it make a load of differnce to get some of the loose fur out.

Why my yorkshire dog started loosing hairs?

Depends. Is it dramatically losing hair to the point where it's hair is noticeably thin? Or is it just losing access hairs?

http://www.champi.nl/blog/2006/06/20/dog...

That site seems to list several reasons why a dog might be losing it's hair.

Why my yorkshire dog started loosing hairs?

If it's significant shedding, you should have the dog checked by the vet. If it's an older dog, it might need a switch of diet, or it might even be a hormonal problem! Have your vet do a blood test to rule out a thyroid problem and see if your dog might have allergies. Yorkies are commonly known to suffer from food and evnironmental allergies. You might have to supplement his diet with omega 3 fatty acids and switch his food

Use to work in the shop. Most womens hair reaches a certain length and stops growing. Or it just seems to breaks off actually.

Why dont dogs have to cut there hair?

Hair follicles have a determined hair length they'll grow to. Your eyelashes, for example (and dogs' and other hairy animals') will only grow so long before they fall out. Some dogs are "short-haired" varieties so their hair grows short and falls out. Others grow loing hair before it falls out.

Why dont dogs have to cut there hair?

Animals hair is different then humans .

Why dont dogs have to cut there hair?

Well, I've never known a dog to cut its own hair. Dogs in the wild don't have scissors, so they never get haircuts. Anyway.

Dogs usually shed a time or two a year. So their hair would only grow for six months, then fall out, so that would limit the growth of the hair. Some dogs that have been bred for super-long hair need trims and maintenance. But most dogs have hair that only gets to a certain length and stops growing. If their hair doesn't shed, then it's like human hair--it grows a certain length of time, then falls out and is replaced by another hair growing out of the follicle (if everything is going normally.) Most people have a turnover rate (hair growing, falling out, then being replaced) of a few months to a couple of years, so their hair only gets so long during that period of time. Some people have really slow turnover rates, so their hair grows for years but doesn't fall out, or their hair grows really fast, so it gets long even if it doesn't grow for a long period of time.

Check out a good book on dog breeds for more info on particular dog-hair characteristics. For instance, I have a Dalmatian and she sheds all year long but a little more a couple times a year. But I love her in spite of all the little white hairs over everything.

How do you get a dogs hair to thicken?

2009-08-01T16:59:00.000-07:00

Ok well I have had my dog for about a year now and I have noticed that lately his hair seems to be thinner and thinner.I thought he was just alergic to something in summer so I thought well it will pass.But today when I looked at the thin spot it looks half bald.I took him to the vet but his normal vet was out so another vet took their place but they don't know anything about my dogs other alergies so they didn't say anything to help it but all the vet told me was that I have a dog that his alergic to fleas and he has a couple but I don't know how he got the fleas because my house is always clean and it has NO fleas at all.And so he must be getting them from outside.So the first thing I did was get my house checked and sprayed with the best stuff out there but it has been a week or two and nothing is working.What should I do?He doesn't have very sharp nails because I trim them so he bites at his itches and now he is biting his skin and bleeding so now I REALLY need advice!Plz help me!

How do you get a dogs hair to thicken?

First of all, DON'T use Sevin Dust in your home.

IT'S PURE POISON!

Get your dogs on Frontline or Advantage from your vet.

Poor coats come from food allergies and a poor diet, might want to be sure their food has no corn or soy.

How do you get a dogs hair to thicken?

sprinkle sevendust all over your lawn. it kills the fleas that live out there.

How do you get a dogs hair to thicken?

the bite of one flea can set a dog insane that is allergic to flea bites. he needs to be on a preventative such as Advantage or Frontline.

use a good oatmeal shampoo on him, not flea - its the lather that suffocates the fleas

get him on a quality holistic food %26amp; no grocery store crap.

omega 3, 6, %26amp; 9 fatty acids. Linatone, flaxseed oil, canned salmon or mackeral.

How do you get a dogs hair to thicken?

Why don't you use a topical flea preventative like frontline or advantage? Once you have fleas in your house its very hard to get rid of them and your dog becomes their buffet , so to speak. It sounds like fleas are causing your dog a lot of problems. Frontline or advantage will prevent fleas from biting and kill them on contact. Ask your vet for this stuff, most offices sell it.

Removal of dog hairs and stickers?

2009-08-01T16:58:00.002-07:00

I was wondering what the easiest way to remove dog hair from my couch and everwhere else in the house?! Its driving me nuts! Also, When we moved here to this house there were stickers on the windowsill that I am unsure of how to get off. Any suggestions?Thanks in advance!

Removal of dog hairs and stickers?

Dog Hairs - Arm %26amp; Hammer makes a carpet deodorizing powder you can sprinkle on your couch which loosens the hairs' grip on fabric and leaves a fresh scent. Sprinkle and then vacuum the couch. It is found in the pet section or the cleaning checmical aisle in your supermarket.

Also, a lint roller (for clothes) tends to work really well for animal hairs, too!

The stickers - Soak them with hot, soapy water with a sponge and gently scrape them off with a razor scraper from Home Depot or Wal-Mart in the tool aisle. Keep it moist!

If this doesn't work, get some "Goo-Be-Gone" or some sticker adhesive weakening agency, both of which can be found at Home Depot or Lowe's, and work on it with the scraper a little bit at a time.

Good luck!

Stickers....try rubbing ice cubes on them. It should loosen the stick and you can gently scrape them off. It might make it gooey so you may need a strong cleaner to get the goo off, but use a tight wound towel to wipe it off otherwise you'll just end up with a hairy patch on the window instead :D

Removal of dog hairs and stickers?

Aha ... this one about dog hairs is soooo easy.

Trot off to the Supermarket and buy yourself some rubber gloves ... the ones that you put on when you wash dishes or do the cleaning.

Put them on, run them through water .. hot or cold doesn't matter ... and them smooth them over the couch, chairs .. wherever.

The hair comes off so easy. You can also do that with your sweaters/jumpers.

Now about the stickies on your windows ... sorry but wear and tear from the weather will help you with that .. they are very hard to get rid of.

You can do what I did once ... didn't really help but you might have better luck ... I rang the company that was on the sticker and complained. Well, I rang them because it was the ADT Security System and I didn't want that one. They didn't really help just said ... keep scratching and hung up. Maybe if I rang them up and said that they were worse for wear they might have told me how to get rid of them lol.

Good luck with the gloves. It really works.

Removal of dog hairs and stickers?

We have pets that leave hair all over the place. I keep one of those synthetic thick bath or cleaning sponges, either dry or slightly damp, and use it on all our textiles.The hair adheres to it and leaves sufaces totally hair free. It also works on clothing much better than a brush or rubber gloves. The hair gathers in balls on the sponge and is easy to remove, then you can continue using the sponge to remove more hair from elsewhere.

For the stickers use "Duraglit" wads. They lift the glue and leave no trace on gloss paint, glass, wood, and metals. I even have managed to remove sticky marks left by those awful stickers that bookshops put on paperback covers, but the surface has to be glossy or waterproof. Dry afterwards with clean cloth. It never fails.

Good luck!

Removal of dog hairs and stickers?

use duct tape for the dog hairs (yuk, poor you ), and Goo Gone for the stickers.

Removal of dog hairs and stickers?

For the stickers, Go to DIY store and get a window scraper...close to the painting bits and tools. This is a holder for a Stanley Knife Blade. If that fails to remove all trace....if they are paper stickers, WD 40 will soften the glue. I f they are plastic stickers, gently cut the sticker with a sharp blade in a criss cross pattern, then WD 40 to soften the glue.

Dog hairs driving me mad?

Bit of a silly question really, leading to lots of silly answers like, get rid of the dog, keep it in the garden, do not set it come near you etc. Wrap a roll of sticky tape round your fingers, pat your clothing with it, do it on your car seats as well. A good vacuum that is approved for dog hairs, hope it helps.

Dog hairs driving me mad?

maybe you can get your dogs hair sheared shorter to keep the hairs down

Dog hairs driving me mad?

Use Bounce anti-static fabic softener sheets for your drier.. They work really well! You can find them just about anywhere, and they are in the isle with the luandry soaps.

That is what I use, and I own three dogs.

The shedding can also be a sign of bad food.. Or food that doesn't have the right things in it, so I suggest feeding Lassie Natural Way. You can read about it here: www.lassie.com/naturalway

And no matter what the coat length is your dog should be brushed at least once a week. I hope this helps.

Dog hairs driving me mad?

this isn't an orthodox answer, and most vets would scream, but my grandmother put grease in her dog's food. He's a white dachschund/rat terrier mix and would get hair all over everything. She started putting a few spoonfuls of grease, whether it was from her cooking eggs, bacon, or some kind of fatty food, in his food, and within a month he wasn't shedding. If you do this, watch for indigestion, and if he's alright, then do it and just don't mention it to the vet.

I would also like to add that my grandmother now has an obese, non-shedding dog.

Dog hairs driving me mad?

I use a pet hair magnet brush (available from all leading pet stores). It's ideal and also does the carpets; so gets up the hair that the vacuum doesn't manage!

CAn u inhale dogs hair?

2009-08-01T16:57:00.003-07:00

Someone once told me that spme lady who had a cat, had some lung disease and they found a hair form her cat in her lungs. I dont know how true is that, but if you have a dog who sheds, and sleeps with you, is it possible that you can inhale their hair?I knoe we have defensive systems in out respiratory system against dust and little particels, so I am wondering how possible is that to happen like to that lady?

CAn u inhale dogs hair?

In theory you could breath in a hair.

Chances are you would be very aware when you did.

How much does it bother you when you have a single hair in your mouth. You probably can't think (or do) anything else until you get it out.

Our lips and tounges are incredibly sensitive to even very small items. Think about how "large" a poppy seed feels when it is stuck between your teeth.

So in general when something gets into your mouth or nose, you know all about it. But if you wanted to play devils advocate and say you were in a coma like sleep. Nothing would wake you...

What would happen then?

It probably wouldn't get very far. Even if it was a short and fine hair. First it has to get into the mouth, a very moist environment, which is mostly filled with our tongue. Then past the "trap door" and into the windpipe. This is also very moist. Think about when you "cough" something up when you have a cold... That is where it comes from.

Tiny hair like projections come from every cell that make a wave like "sweeping" motion upwards. This constant house keeping is so efficient it can even throw out bacteria and viruses. If the hair touches any side of the tube on the way down, it will get glued to the mucus and coughed out reflexively. Then further down the airway forks into the left and right. Getting smaller in diameter in the process. If it has made it this far it would most likely get caught landing in the crook of the fork, or in the now smaller tubes. And don't forget, our lungs are not big open sacks, they are more like sponges filled with little balloons the size of peas. Each of the branches makes another branch like a tree ending finally in a little sack.

Even if the hair made it's final resting place in your lung your body would probably just cover it with mucus and attempt to disolve it or cloister it off. It shouldn't make you sick.

CAn u inhale dogs hair?

I would think that the sticky moisture in your trachea would keep the hair from going on down..

I have lived in a house full of large very hairy long haired dogs, for many years..I have never had any lung congestion related to dog hair, nor has any of my family..Yes, dogs sleep with us too..

Threat Makes the dog look bigger. Also tell the other dogs to get out of the way I mean business!

Why do dog's hairs stand up? Are they angry?

That happened a lot to my dog. I think he was just mainly trying to show everyone that he was the more dominant one, but it didn't necessarliy mean he was angry or wanted to fight. He always played with other dogs and didn't get into fights with them.

Why do dog's hairs stand up? Are they angry?

when a dog is mad or frighten their hair does that, to show other people animals,etc. that they are not afraid and it is a defennse. in playing it is about the same but it is little like childern pretending. but sometimes they get carried away. just normal .one day one wants to be big bad barnney and the next time it is the other.

The 'hair stand' is for information to the surroundings. Standing hair in the neck is a sign of aggression, standing hair all the way down the back to the tail is a sign of insecurity, MUY IMPORTANTE TO KNOW THIS!!

Can I cut my Japanese Akita's hair?

2009-08-01T16:57:00.000-07:00

My dogs hair is very thick and he gets very warm in the summer. Can I get his hair shaved?

Can I cut my Japanese Akita's hair?

The best thing to do with a double-coated breed (like an Akita, or any Spitz-type dog) is to keep them well-brushed during the summer months.

Shaving a double coat is a bad idea. Sure, you may think it will keep him cool now, but the coat will grow in thicker, softer, and more prone to matting down the road. Your dog will no longer have the stiff, harsh guard hairs that cover his coat and act as rain/snow repellant in the winter months.

Not to mention, you will be exposing skin to sunlight that has always been protected by fur.

What you'll likely end up with is a sunburnt dog who will never have a normal coat again, be easily chilled to the bone when the weather gets colder, and will require more grooming in the future.

Your best bet is to keep his coat brushed out, and give him plenty of shade and water. You wouldn't believe how many Siberian Huskies (also double-coated) that I've had in rescue who were shaved -- their coats are a mess.

My dogs deal with 100 degree heat in the worst part of the summer, and deal with it fine because they have 3 things: Their original fur, shade, and water.

Can I cut my Japanese Akita's hair?

Cutting his hair will not make him cooler. The coat Acts as an insulating blanket. It keeps the heat out. So you can trim it down, don't shave or cut it close to the skin.

Can I cut my Japanese Akita's hair?

Yes, he will most likely enjoy a Summer hair-do. Have the groomer clip it to an inch or two. You will see that it makes him more active in the heat.

You will both love it, and it will grow back in time for Winter.

Can I cut my Japanese Akita's hair?

Yes, have a groomer trim it a bit. Your dog will appreciate it and believe it or not regular trips to the groomer reduces shedding and helps your dog's coat stay healthy.

Can I cut my Japanese Akita's hair?

It will help him to have a trim every once in awhile. Not too close though, and not in the winter...that's what the thick coat is for!

Can I cut my Japanese Akita's hair?

That would help him during the summer cos his coat is mainly to keep him warm. A haircut by a groomer will let him enjoy himself more and b more active

Any of you groom/cut your dog's hair yourself?

I am thinking of taking clippers to my dog's hair myself. I like my dog's hair kinda log so I was thinking of using a number 4.

Any suggestions about cutting, clippering, cleanup, anything about making it easy for me and my puppy?

thanks!

Yes, but VERY carefully.

There are plenty of books and videos on grooming your own dog. It will give you an idea where to start and teach you how to do it so that no one gets hurt :)

Any of you cut your dogs hair yourself?

Unless you know what your doing then put the clippers away!!!

I do my own Goldens feet from time to time but it took me a long time to learn how to do it correctly!

Any of you cut your dogs hair yourself?

We groom our own dogs, but it took time to learn how to do it correctly. First, we had to learn what a properly groomed example of our breed should look like. Next, we were shown what tools we needed and how to use them correctly. Last, we had to practice over and over until we got it right. There were some bad cuts on occasion, but we learned from that.

By the way, we learned from our breeders, and from other folks who exhibit our breed at dog shows.

Any of you cut your dogs hair yourself?

i cut my dogs hair all the time. do it outside. just easier that way.

Any of you cut your dogs hair yourself?

i use to cut my cockers hair when he was alive..it was fun..bonded us but i would advise wearing a face mask because the hair tends to get ALL over you and up into your nose so you are constantly brushing your arm at your nose..the hair will also make you itchy..but it is fun!!

make sure you do it outside or on a hard floor..not carpet..for easy clean up.

Any of you cut your dogs hair yourself?

I've owned several dogs that I cut the hair on and I cut my own hair.

The thing to do is educate yourself on how to do it by reading some library books, checking out items you can find online and any videos you can get your hands on.

Then be prepared to make some mistakes along the way. You won't get it right until about the 7th or 8th time you do it. So my suggestion would be to always cut it longer than you normally would. That way if you mess up, a groomer can even things out and let you know what you didn wrong.

The dogs I've owned that I cut myself were toy poodles, cocker spaniels and mutts. I wasn't into showing and I lived in warm climates, so field cuts were the order of the day. I spen alot of scissor time on the mutts and poodles.

If you can get your hand on a FlowBee, do so. The dogs love the cool feeling if and when they get used to the noise the vacuum makes.

At any rate, good luck.

Why does my puppy have such thin hair?

2009-08-01T16:56:00.001-07:00

i bought a yorkshire terrier 5 months ago, hes 7 months now and his hair is so very thin. i took him to the vet for his shots and mentioned it to the vet...doc told me not to worry because hes a puppy . about 2 months later i went back and the vet ASKED ME why the dogs hair was so thin..i freaked out, this was the guy that told me not to worry...i compare joey (thats my puppy's name) to other dogs his age and the difference is dramatic..i dont know what to do its not getting better and im really worried. this is my first pet and i dont know how to react when my own vet doesnt know whats goin on. please help me

Why does my puppy have such thin hair?

What food have you been feeding him? Make sure you are feeding a high quality food. Here's a good site to research that.

http://www.dogfoodanalysis.com/dog_food_...

Other than that, all you can do is talk to the vet or the breeder of the dog.

Added: One answer said it;s normal - it's not. Puppies should not have thin fur. It is a sign of something and needs to be addressed.

Why does my puppy have such thin hair?

Ask his breeder.

Why does my puppy have such thin hair?

Well i would try another vet for sure, also what kind of food are you feeding him? try another brand of food, also buy him vitamins from the vet, they are around 12 dollars usually, this may help

Why does my puppy have such thin hair?

don;t freak out,

it's puppy hair, an outer coat will grow over it. YOur dog could just be a "late bloomer". One of my dogs never got rid of her puppy hair. There is nothing wrong with it, it's just a different texture. Everything will be fine, if your dog does not grow thicker hair it's no big deal, its just something that makes your dog uniique

Why does my puppy have such thin hair?

At 7 months they go through an "ugly" stage.

All dogs do, sort of like losing baby teeth and getting adult ones.

He's getting his adult coat.

BUT!!

Nutrition has a lot to do with it.

Read labels.

NEVER feed corn, wheat, soy or milk. Beef and chicken are allergens for some dogs, consider switching him to a food with lamb and rice. Turkey and fish are good choices for dog food flavors too.

Look into Innova, California Natural, Canidae (I recommend), Wellness, and Artemis. All are great, all have websites.

California Natural Skin and Coat Supplement works wonders. www.naturapet.com for more info.

Ark Naturals has a whole line of supplements. No matter what you're told, dogs need vitamins too. www.arknaturals.com

Why does my puppy have such thin hair?

bet you bought him from a pet store, right? this sounds suspiciously like a geneticly deficient puppy-mill dog. if that's the case, I don't think there's much you can do. genetics is genetics. I know, because once I bought a poodle that turned out to be from a puppy mill, and she was a genetic disaster. she should have had a life-span of 18 years, and I had to put her down 2 years ago, when she was just 9.

Why does my puppy have such thin hair?

Thin fur can be the result of a thyroid deficiency. This is very easy to deal with through the use of inexpensive medication such as thyroxine.If your vet has not already done so, have your pup undergo appropriate blood work and urine testing. If your vet did not recommend such tests, please consider getting yourself another vet.

Should dog whiskers be trimmed??

2009-08-01T16:56:00.000-07:00

Are they important? .. i cut one by accident, cuz i was trimming my dogs hair and when i touched it, it kind of hurts like a needle, just wondering if they should be trimmed or not and what is the purpose for them?

Should dog whiskers be trimmed??

Dog's whiskers are attatched to many nerve endings the whiskers are sensitive to touch.. dogs do use them to help navigate around in poorly lit/dark areas.

Unless you have a breed of dog who needs their face trimmed, such as a poodle, or you have a show dog that is suppossed to be trimmed for the show ring, I wouldnt bother the whiskers.

Should dog whiskers be trimmed??

When I showed my shelties they were trimmed off for show.

Should dog whiskers be trimmed??

some dogs use them to tell if they should go in a narrow path if the whiskers are bent in the path thy know to turn back

Should dog whiskers be trimmed??

it won't hurt the dog...alot of show dogs have them shaved for a cleaner appearance

Should dog whiskers be trimmed??

Well, its like this I believe if you love your dog than anything you wanted to do (SAFETLY) of course would add to character. Alot of show dogs have them trimmed. But again its your love and what would make you happy or cure your curiousity so be it. Just love the dog forever.

Should dog whiskers be trimmed??

thats almost like cutting off someones fingers.

i know accidents happen, but try not to do it again.

no, as far as i know they should never be trimmed.

Should dog whiskers be trimmed??

No, don't trim the whiskers, the one you cut will grow back. They do use them for a variety of things. Please don't cut them for looks, if you watch the Eukanuba dog shows you'll see that they all have their whiskers.

Should dog whiskers be trimmed??

unless you are showing your dog to make it look cleaner, i would suggest leaving them alone. like cat whiskers, they are used to sense their environment in low light so they know there;s a wall or item etc.

Should dog whiskers be trimmed??

No they shouldnt be trimmed they are there for a reason. If you love your dog that is all that counts and by the sound of things you do. Accidents happen but next time try to watch her whiskers.ofcourse sometimes that isnt easy especially if they are moving their head around when you are trying to give them a hair cut.

Should dog whiskers be trimmed??

No. Absolutely not. They are sensitive and let dogs navigate through areas. God put them there for a reason. Please let them be. Thank You.

Should dog whiskers be trimmed??

NO.

Shave An Austrailian Cattle Dog?

2009-08-01T16:55:00.003-07:00

My ACD is shedding a lot right now and looks like he is getting really hot. Do Australian Cattle dogs hair grow back? Please I only want someone that knows about Australian Cattle Dogs or had one. Help!!!

Shave An Austrailian Cattle Dog?

I'm gonna guess that you are in the tropics or Southern hemisphere...

First... put down the clippers and step away!

ACD's will "blow" their coats on occasion. That is normal. In fact, some dogs do what I call "backwards shedding." That is, they will shed in winter.

ACD's are pretty rugged dogs but if it's extremely hot they do enjoy a kiddy pool of water to cool off in.

ACD's will overheat themselves playing or whatever. If your dog seems overheated cool him off with water.

If your dog seems sick take him to the vet.

Shave An Austrailian Cattle Dog?

I don't think Cattledogs are ment to have there hair shave. put ice cubes in the water, which should help cool him down

Shave An Austrailian Cattle Dog?

I had a husky/collie mix, and when it came time to shed her winter coat, it was all mats and pain for her. So I cut off all the mats I could get to without getting her skin, and then used an electric barber shaver to shave the rest. Naturally, I left her face %26amp; head alone, and her beautiful tail wasn't matted so I left it alone, too. She had a new beautiful coat in 3-6 mo., and was much happier to be so much cooler.

Shave An Austrailian Cattle Dog?

I have shaved 2 and htere hair does grow back but now the owners have them done every 10 weeks so I really don't know how well the hair would grow back

Shave An Austrailian Cattle Dog?

Most dogs hair grows back when they are shaved. Phone youre nearest vet or dog groomer and ask an expert. They may say the fur acts as insulation and not to shave. If youre dog seems hot maybe its the best thing to have him shaved. Im in W.A. and lots of people here get their dogs shaved. I hose my dog off a few times a day in summer and let him go swimming. He's also allowed in the house so he lies on the cool tiles. You can put ice cubes in his water and also give him ice cubes to eat until you speak to a professional.

Ive seen some cattle dogs with a super thick coat so if youre dog is like that maybe a good shear would do him good, you'll soon find out if hes happier like that or not!

Good Luck.

Shave An Austrailian Cattle Dog?

It's not necessary to shave him.

Just brush him daily to remove all the dead fur, feed him a high quality dog food, and supplement it if necessary.

http://www.dogfoodanalysis.com/dog_food_...

Any dog food on that site that is 4 stars and up is good. I, personally, would prefer 5-6 stars, but 4 stars pretty good.

Shave An Austrailian Cattle Dog?

They can be shaved and it will grow back, but I personally don't recommend it. A dog's coat acts as a natural ventilation system keeping the dog cool in summer (the hair helps block direct waves from the sun) and warm in winter (trapping and warming air in the undercoat with the dog's body heat).

Instead of a shave, give the dog a good bath. Use a rubber curry brush (or Zoom Groom) while the dog is shampooed to remove extra hair. Use a force dryer to finish him up as it literally blows the water off the dog. I like the Self Service Dog Wash at Petco cause they have pretty much everything you need usually (you may want to bring your own curry brush). Getting the undercoat out will help him feel a lot better. :)

Shave An Austrailian Cattle Dog?

English Bulldogs aren't meant to be shaved %26amp; I've done several of them. I've shaved a lab - they aren't supposed to be shaved either. I've shaved German Shephers (longer fur, but still, not usually done). Yes, your dogs hair will grow back IF your dog is healthy.

Shave An Austrailian Cattle Dog?

where do you live? is the weather getting a little warmer and dog is starting to shed. don't shave him just give a good brushing. panting is not always a sign of being hot, dogs pant heavy when they are in pain also. if dog is older he could have some arthritis and some pain. if this is not the case start brushing. shaving this time of year would not be good for dog. alot depends on temp. where you are.

if dog is in the house alot he could be hot. start brushing and get out some hair,he will be fine.

welll i think your dog might be eating too many grapes. yes. grapes are so evil. my dog was eating apples and then he turned red! so just cut off of the grapes and maybe feed him some dog food. also this might be a result from lack of air during the photosynthesis process the dog may be dehydrated and then die.

Does your dog go in a swimming pool?

The chlorine may cause it to turn a different color.

Honestly I never heard of that, but you need to call the vet and ask them.

Now, if it is the dog's mouth gums turning purple, that is a severe condition with the heart.

The body is not getting enough blood.

Immediately get it to a vet.

well lets try to use a little common sense. here is the situation as narrated by u. "hmmmm my dogs fur looks weird. like a weird color. ohh i know instead of taking the dog to the vet i am going to go on Yahoo! Answers and i am going to ask people what is wrong with my dog. i know i should take it to the vet but this is faster and cheaper" seriously y do people put me through this torture. ok there is something wrong. obviously not everyone on here is a vet and even if they r they cant diagnose ur dog without seeing it so y dont u get in ur car or get in ur parents car and drive ur dog to the vet or have ur parents drive u to the vet. i mean seriously people always ask this. there is something wrong with my dog what should i do. GO TO THE VET

Wow, that's odd.

Let me think...hmmm...

TAKE YOUR DOG TO THE VET.

Take him to the vet. My opinion is chlorine in the pool if he swims, or sun damage.

if your dog is white or light colored it could be staining caused from drool

I agree with stephanie, but seriously, what you should do is sell it to the circus.

Or maybe an acid reflux commercial! They have those purple pills, why not have a purple dog as a spokesman?!

That would be sexy, and with the money you could buy a normal dog.

OK, Are you pulling our chain? If not you should try to get on "Worlds Funniest Animals".

Some people shouldn't have pets, Pandora

My dog is turning purple!!!?

If only the hair is changing colors, I wouldn't worry so much. If your dogs skin is also changing to an odd color and you dog is acting not quite itself, then there may be a problem. Many things can cause the dogs hair color to change such as the afore mentioned chlorine in pools, and also sun can bleach it out some too. I doubt diet has anything to do with it because it would take some time to take effect. Try altering your dogs activities (ie - no swimming, change shampoo, etc) and see if that helps. If your dog is not acting like used to or there is skin discoloration as well, get a vet involved. Hope this helped.

My dog is turning purple!!!?

Don't wait to see if some shampoo or the chlorine has something to do with the color of the fur. Take him/her straight to the vet, this could be life or death. You do not want to waste your time to see if it is the products you are using. Take your dog to the vet right away. You wouldn't wantyour dog to die b/c you were wasting you time trying to find out if this or that is causing it. Best of luck to you are please tell us what happened to you dog!! :)

My dog is turning purple!!!?

I would definitely take your dog to the vet. but, it maybe (not saying that it is, it might be more serious) from something she/he ate. when dogs eat something it goes straight to their fur. My friend's dog at food grease (like a big tub from her owner's restaurant) and my friend took her to the vet immediately. the vet made her cough it up but not all of it came up. she smelled like grease for the next few weeks and her fur was grease.

My dog is turning purple!!!?

What breed have you got and how long has this transformation been taking place?

If it has been less than a day . . . why are you still here?

If it has been gradual . . . some breeds will change coat color as they age - Kerry Blue Terriers for instance - or it can be a chemical bleaching the hair (chlorine in pools) but if you don't have a pool . . . run to the vet!

Sun can bleach hair too making silky black hair appear blue, red, or purple . . .

If you brush them everyday there's not much else you can do.There are shampoos that claim they reduce shedding, but aren't very helpful.It's hot outside and that's just your dogs way of adjusting to the heat. All you can really do is love them more and wait for the heat to go away.

I just bought a grooming tool called, "The Furmintaor" It is great! I takes off tons of hair and doesn't involve clipping or any contraptions. I bought the small size which was cheaper and works well for my BIG dogs. I have 2 golden retrievers and a Great Pyrenese cross. The small was $32., but worth it. Its easy to use, my dogs like the way it feels. Just be ready to vacuum or sweep alot of hair up when you're done. I do it every few days.

There is no magic cure to shedding. That's just what dogs do.

Help! the best solution to shedding dog . outside of shaving them bald!?

Nope. No magic bullet. Might try a different method of brushing though. It sounds like you have a double coated breed, like a husky, sheltie, or lab. There are MANY double coated breeds. Double coated means there are coarse guard hairs on the top layer, and a soft, fine fluffy layer underneath. The best method of grooming is called line brushing. You lift the coat against the grain with one hand, and literally seperate out a line 1/2 to 1 inch wide, and brush it out with a slicker brush until all the loose undercoat and tangles are gone. Do this line by line until the whole dog is brushed. Then take a comb through to get any undercoat and tangles that were missed.

Have talk to your vet about adding some vitamins to their diet.

Try washing your dogs with a oatmeal shampoo for healthy skin.

Help! the best solution to shedding dog . outside of shaving them bald!?

Unfortunately dogs shed, especialy in the summer. You can curb it by bathing them in cool water. Full coat dogs like Sammys and collies are quite oftenly bathed this way to keep the undercoat from falling out. You might also try a shedding blade instead of a brush. It tends to pull more of the undercoat out and leaves less to brush. More than a few people actually vaccume their dogs. Some will tolerate it, others won't. Good Luck!

Help! the best solution to shedding dog . outside of shaving them bald!?

in the summer try giving them baths more often, or just wetting them %26amp; brushing them. brush them with a dog comb, %26amp; the opposite direction of the fur.

I heard that sweet stuff like honey can prevent dogs from shedding their hair too often. Is it true?

2009-08-01T16:55:00.000-07:00

Is there a scientific support behind this claim? Please, urgent! My dog sheds her hair too often and it's everywhere in the house. Thanx

I heard that sweet stuff like honey can prevent dogs from shedding their hair too often. Is it true?

No, that is not true. It can cause more damage then help. Meat based dry food diets which do not contain soy, chemical preservatives and dyes are the best answer for your dilema. Also, do not over bathe the dog. It takes much needed moisture from your dogs coat. The healthier your dogs coat the less likely it will shed much. Nothing can say it will reduce shedding by 50 percent. Adding supplements and vitamens to your food can actually interfere with your dogs food diet. If your dog has allergies which may be possible you would want to feed a dry food diet that also does not contain wheat or corn. Proplan has an excellent fish diet food out that is nothing more than salmon and tuna. The omega oils come right from the food. That is the best way to do it. Natural choice dog food is a line of food developed for dogs with allergy issues. But many times the owner just needs to stop feeding a cereal based food with soy, and corn as the first ingredients along with bha or bth preservatives and dye's for food coloring. Dogs are color blind anyhow. The colors are a marketing strategy to get food purchased by owners that do not know any better and think they are buying something their dog will appreciate!! Good luck

OH yes! come shedding season get a shedding blade to help get rid of that winter undercoat. House dogs shed a bit all year because artificial lighting screws up the time clock nature supplies with daylight and moonlight as well as warm temperatures in the house. For damaged skin buy a coal tar shampoo to use until your dogs skin recovers.

I heard that sweet stuff like honey can prevent dogs from shedding their hair too often. Is it true?

No, I would feed the dog a premium food, which should reduce shedding. Royal Canin makes breed specific foods for constant seeders such as Labs and German Shepherds, which reduces the shedding by about 50%.

I heard that sweet stuff like honey can prevent dogs from shedding their hair too often. Is it true?

Don't give honey or any other kinds of sweets to your dog. Its not good for them and will probably make their coat worse due to poor nutrition. The best thing you can do for your dog is get a few decent brushes and use them regularly in the spring and fall. Its a good idea to add fish oil to their diet to ensure a healthy coat.

I heard that sweet stuff like honey can prevent dogs from shedding their hair too often. Is it true?

I'm not sure about the honey part but I used crushed garlic in the dogs food and that curbed the shedding of my two dogs allot. I read this in a booklet I found at my vets office 3 years ago.

I heard that sweet stuff like honey can prevent dogs from shedding their hair too often. Is it true?

No sweet stuff! Dogs usually will shed when warm weather comes or a simulation of such. Keep the dog on a good diet and try adding brewers yeast to its food, (either from a pet supply or health store), it tastes yucky but dogs love it. It is the only product I know of that seems to work and is safe.

Dog owners...?

Do you ever get dog hairs stuck in your feet?

Dog owners...?

Yes You must be rather thin or thin skinned My friend used to get this all the time and she is real thin and thin skinned. I' a bit more thick than her but on more than one occasion I've seen her pull one out of her foot. Its weird.

She said its like getting glass in your foot and I do know what that feels like. It hurts!

Dog owners...?

nope

Dog owners...?

Uh no

Hair dye for Doggies?

2009-08-01T16:54:00.001-07:00

Are there any products in the market for dying your dogs hair? I want to color my doggies hair pink. I heard coolaid will work or food coloring. If it does, how do I do it?

Hair dye for Doggies?

Mix unsweetened Kool Aid powder in a little warm water and sponge it on..Leave it for a few minutes, then rinse well, so it doesn't transfer to fabrics.

Hair dye for Doggies?

uhh...no...but you can buy temporary hair spray at like...a dollar store or something. it only lasts a day tho. i died my dog's tail pink, and he kind of looked gay lol...

Hair dye for Doggies?

Coloring your dog's hair is not a good idea. Almost anything that you could use should not be ingested by a dog.

Hair dye for Doggies?

They sell this at upscale grooming locations. For an online list, visit pamperedpuppy.com and look under the shopping section.

Hair dye for Doggies?

bad idea, it can mess with their skin a lot and pretty much every kind of dye they shouldnt be ingesting. If you want pink, dye your own hair pink. Plus in some areas it is construed as animal abuse.

Hair dye for Doggies?

Yes there are dyes you can buy. Make sure to find semi-permanent AMMONIA-FREE hair dyes. Petsilk made some herbal dyes that you shampoo in- they last for a couple of weeks. Also, you can try Manic Panic- you can find it at Sally's Beauty Supply. Jerome Russell makes Punky colors- we used these for our Luau syenciling and creative grooms. This is what we, as well as other groomers have used a on our creative grooming for shows and contests.

Hair dye for Doggies?

sorry lindsay..it cant mess with the skin. use the kool aid or the online sources for dog safe dye.

Derm Vet tech for 10 years

Hair dye for Doggies?

Don't listen to the people saying "its considered cruel" or "it'll hurt them", they apparently know nothing of the subject. There are many competitive groomers that dye thier dogs all the time for show and different contests. You should talk to a groomer about what safe dyes to use, do not attempt before you ask (unless you use food coloring or something but that wont stay in the fur well) I've heard that kool aid comes off on carpet and furniture. Definently speak to a groomer though about safe dye to use and how to go about it.

There is a police dept., in northern Ont. which has a small mix

Do you think my dog will give up on a kong?

2009-08-01T16:53:00.003-07:00

we have a gate for him, but he recently learnt to jump it. he is only allowed to stay in our room.

dont start saying that he shouldnt be seperated, that is my mums rules, we have cleaned the whole house, gotten rid of all the dog hairs off the carpets and the dog is not allowed elsewhere. and dont tell me that i shouldnt have a dog, i take care of my dog very well so dont judge me.

anyway i just bought kong, its being shipped to me but this is what happened earlier today.

w ran out of toilet paper, and i was looking at the toilet roll and suddenly thought of the kong idea. so i put peanut butter on both ends of the roll and gave it to him. surprisingly, i watched an entire episode of simpsons without him trying to jump the gate or whining. he started whining afterwards and i checked to see what was wrong and i found he had eaten all the peanut butter. do you think, if he cant get the treats out of the kong,that he will give up on it and try and jump the gate again?

hes a JRT

Do you think my dog will give up on a kong?

I think as long as the dog is happy and you spend some time exercising him everyday it's not so bad to leave him in a single room all the time. It's when you ignore him all the time and don't take him out of the room to get exercise and attention that you are a bad owner. Anywho I think the dog will get all the treat out of a kong then go back to jumping the gate. Any toy or treat you get for him will only last so long most likely not a whole school or work day. One solution might be to get a higher gate or put him behind an actual door. This is more of a solution when nobody is home because if he is behind a closed door and hears people he will whine and want to at least see the people in the house. Another idea is to get one of the rolled up rawhides and jam some peanut butter in between the layers. Small dogs will stay occupied with kongs and other chew treats longer than a big dog but JRT's are usually pretty active dogs so I am not sure how long he will stay occupied....also they are known for thier ability to jump fences and get out of places that they are supposed to stay in.

Do you think my dog will give up on a kong?

Once he gets the treats out of the kong, he is going to get bored and will most likely jump the gate. He is going to need more stimulation than just the kong. Take some time during the day to take him for walks, playtime in the yard, play fetch, etc. You may also want to get him more interactive toys for him to play with.

Do you think my dog will give up on a kong?

I understand the life situation thing, and i understand you not wanting to be judged.

I think he will be right back at trying to be with you as soon as he is done with the kong. You can put peanutbutter, yogurt, or even his food with these substances in it and freeze it. This makes it last a bit longer. Don't overdo the peanutbutter. Make sure you alternate. I put pieces of cookies that the only way my pup is going to get it out is to crunch it. He is a big dog, though.

Also, be patient with the kong. Some dogs don't like the rubber smell and it takes a lot to get past it. Start by putting it in dirty laundry for a night, and then stuff it with peanutbutter.

I like the simpsons as well. maybe you could get a tv in your room so you can spend time in there with him. He only wants to be with you.

Do you think my dog will give up on a kong?

Kongs and chew toys are only temporary solutions. He will jump the gate again. He needs to socialize with people and with other dogs. Take him for lots of walks, put him in training, play with him...just keep is mind off the gate and the rest of the house. Tire him out. He knows there's a hole new world on the other side of that door, dogs are natural explorers. Have you tried tethering him to you when in the rest of the house?

Do you think my dog will give up on a kong?

That's a tough one, because he is going to jump the gate again as soon as he gets bored. Taking him out for a few good runs and lots of exercise during the day will help. The old saying "a tired dog is a good dog" is true. I can sympathize, because he just wants to be with you.

Why not get him a raw beef marrow bone (leg bone) from the butcher. Freeze it, and then give it to him as a special treat. Trying to get the frozen marrow out, could keep him occupied all day. And the chewing is excellent for cleaning his teeth.

Do you think my dog will give up on a kong?

Kongs are great, try freezing the treat filled Kong as it will keep the dog occupied longer and expend more of its energy while playing with it. Other than that you are going to have to run this dog and tire him out. Its only fair to the dog seeing as it seems he is only allowed to be in certain areas of the house. Which by the way is going to heighten his curiosity and when he does jump the fence and gets to these other rooms don't be surprised if he marks his territory. Its only natural for the dog to do this...

Does anyone know about nerve endings when dogs get too short of a hair cut?

2009-08-01T16:53:00.002-07:00

My dog gets her hair cut and acts psycho. She "star gazes" (looks up and around like she is possessed). Has anyone heard of this? Should I stop having her hair cut? She stops the behavior after a week or so.

Does anyone know about nerve endings when dogs get too short of a hair cut?

I woudn't suggest not having her hair cut..especially if she is a dog that NEEDS hair cuts. (Poodle, Shihtzu, yorkie etc)

How often do you have her cut? If you are letting the hair get really long (and maybe even matted) the dog is going to feel a little weird not having all that weight on her. Our heads feel a little different when we get our hair cut too.

Cutting the hair does not affect any nerves. I'm sure your dog is fine.

Does anyone know about nerve endings when dogs get too short of a hair cut?

Maybe she just likes the new look!! Getting the hair even shaved bald does not effect the nerve endings!!!!!!!!

Does anyone know about nerve endings when dogs get too short of a hair cut?

Ive heard of this happening to some dogs because the buzzing of the clippers causes them to get a headache- or their head feels lighter because of lack of hair..

Does anyone know about nerve endings when dogs get too short of a hair cut?

It's probably just a bit of shock from the sudden change in the way your dog's fur feels. It's nothing to worry about, if the groomer knows what she's doing.

Does anyone know about nerve endings when dogs get too short of a hair cut?

the behavior has nothing to do with the actual cutting of your dogs hair. it could have to do with her state of mind during the hair cut. i am a professional groomer and can assure you a hair cut won't affect your dogs mental state.

How long does it take for a dog's coat to grow out?

2009-08-01T16:53:00.001-07:00

i have a chihuahua maltese mix and she had to be shaved all over as she had a very bad skin irritation so she had to be shaved so we could put the medicated cream on her etc.

now her hair has grown back 1cm.

i just wanted to know roughly how long does it take for a dog's coat to grow back to a nice full coat.

long hair.

like 3-4 months or longer? or quicker? thanks

How long does it take for a dog's coat to grow out?

I think it depends on the breed. I shaved both our dogs (shepard/husky mix and collie/golden mix) in May and by July they had most of their long coats back and if we weren't already in November I'd shave them again, their coat always seems to shed.

What are the causes of Pug dogs having spotty hair loss?

2009-08-01T16:53:00.000-07:00

I know that Pugs are not supposed to live outside, but we have no choice unfortunately. We did construct a very nice, large insulated, heated and air conditioned dog house for them. They get their shots, worm medicines, flea and tick prevention, good food and fresh water. They are played with and loved a great deal.

I recently shaved both pugs, like they do at the groomers, and I was saddened to see that the somewhat spotty coat I noticed on one of the pugs prior to shaving her was much worse looking than I had thought. The shaving revealed the extent of the patchy hair loss. I very rarely ever see them scratching themselves, so I don't know if it hurts or is uncomfortable for her.

What would be some probably causes of this?

What are the causes of Pug dogs having spotty hair loss?

Umm... wow. I hate to be harsh, but those dogs need a new home. I'm sorry, but pugs just are not suited to life outdoors. Why on earth can you not bring them inside?

Second, what were you thinking shaving a pug? You never, EVER shave a shorthaired dog! It ruins their coat, it makes them susceptible to sunburn, fleas, allergens, etc. Please, do not ever think of doing this again!!!

Causes of hair loss could be anything, poor diet (what do you consider 'good' food? If it came from the grocery store or Petsmart, it's not good food), to allergies (from living outside, for starters), mange, hotspots, etc. You'll have to have a vet look them over to be sure.

Please rethink this living situation. If you truly loved your dogs, you would not be forcing a breed that truly cannot withstand outdoor conditions to be living outdoors that way, no matter what their doghouse looks like. They need to be inside a real home. Please consider this, it's just plain cruel to leave them out there.

What are the causes of Pug dogs having spotty hair loss?

It could very possibly be an alergy even if nothing has changed sometime as in humans they can become allergic to something with age. I would have he/her checked by a vet.

What are the causes of Pug dogs having spotty hair loss?

The best thing to do is take them to the vet. It could be mange, ringworm, allergies or Cushings disease.

Can you help my dog?!?

2009-08-01T16:52:00.002-07:00

I recently moved to Hawaii with my wonderful yellow lab. We FINALLY found a place that would take an 80 lb. dog.

However, ever since we moved in, he has been itching like crazy, pulling out his hair, and he is chewing so hard that he is starting to scab. I have tried giving him flea medication (the good stuff) and I've bathed him in sea salt. I just can't figure it out.

Here is the clincher, there are 4 other dogs in our apartment complex with the same problem. They are all different breeds-from long haired to short haired, big to small dogs. I've heard that mange could be a possibility but I thought that only short haired dogs could get that???

Can you help me brainstorm and think of a possible solution to the problem? Please don't say "move out" because it is nearly impossible to find a place on the island that takes large dogs...and we have already considered that option.

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated! You could help save all of the dogs here :0 Mahalo nui loa

Can you help my dog?!?

Could be a few different things. This happened to my shepard/husky mix Libby when we first moved to Florida.

It sounds environmental and/or behavioral. Yes, major changes in an animal's life can cause them to demonstrate neurotic behaviors. But since the other dogs are presenting in similar ways, it must be environmental.

Things that worked for me: the obvious is, take him to the vet. They should put him on an antibiotic specifically for canine skin problems. They can also give him cortisone shots to help alleviate the itch immediately. It's not terribly expensive and highly effective.

Other things: oatmeal shampoo and bathe him once a week with it. Also, Bag Balm seems to help. You can get this in the skin care section of most drugstores. It's in a green metal tin and has a similar consistency of vaseline but has antiseptic properties.

Every store has some sort of itch relief spray too. What seems to be happening is that the dogs are getting into something that is causing them to itch, and dogs will almost always itch to the point of causing damage to themselves.

I hope this helps! Good luck.

Can you help my dog?!?

Try a hypoallergenic diet. The change in atmosphere could have caused an allergy to something. Also try mange treatments. Labs can get mange easily and so can long haired dogs.

Can you help my dog?!?

Your pet may be suffering from bug bites, like coakroaches or something. ask the manager if the apt. has a bug/vermin problem, or you better take him to a vet. Maybe his flea bites are infected.

good luck!!

Can you help my dog?!?

i would consult a vetrinarian or it could be nerves from moving to a new place

Can you help my dog?!?

i think you need to bring him to an animal hospital asap and figure out whats wrong and they can give you medication for it .

Can you help my dog?!?

Sounds like allergies...have you asked your vet????

Can you help my dog?!?

Try to put one of those medical funnels around his neck while he is in the house so he cant bite himself.

Can you help my dog?!?

Maybe an allergy?

Can you help my dog?!?

all the dogs there might be having an allergic reaction to something.

best thing would be to take him to a vet to figure out what the problem might be.

Can you help my dog?!?

Obviously something in the complex.. The dogs must be really suffering...Has to be in the carpets, maybe? Start using spray, for hot spots and itching...Until you can find the cause, treat the problem, and keep treating it..Maybe everybody in complex can have carpets cleaned, at same time, then wash dogs with special shampoo...I sympathize. You have a real problem, and your dogs are miserable, Get antiseptic 1st aid spay for your dog, just same kind that you would buy for yourself. maybe s.thing ending in caine, to give some relief, from the itching. Good Luck Dana

Can you help my dog?!?

Here are some things you can try. I'm not making any promises.

1. Try giving him only bottled water.

2. Keep him out of the landscaping around the building, if any. Some of the things people put on their plants can be harmful to humans and animals.

3. Try changing his food.

4. If you take him on the beach, try spraying him (with your vet's permission) with insect repellent. The flea medicine is great for fleas, maybe mosquitoes, but I don't know if it works on sand fleas and other insects.

5. If all else fails, try an oatmeal soap and bathe him in bottled, or filtered water. Ask your vet for an antihistamine.

6.Find a practitioner of ho'oponopono. S/he can help you for sure.

Can you help my dog?!?

If you are sure it's mange, you could ask the vet if they have any shampoos that contain substances that help against it, like amitraz

Can you help my dog?!?

this happened to my dog 2, i have a shih-tzu but it happens to all dogs. i took her to the vet and i gave her medication. this happened to her about three times because once it was done i wouldnt give her anymore and i wasnt completley gone.the last time it happened once it was done i got some more to make sure it was fully gone, and i also changed her diet. im feeding her organic food. and it worked cause she hasnt gotten it back.

hope that helps.

Little black hairs in pedigree dog food?

2009-08-01T16:52:00.001-07:00

we recently bought a big bag of dog food and today i was going to feed them and i noticed tiny black hairs, is that normal?

Little black hairs in pedigree dog food?

Not normal. Contact the company!!!

Little black hairs in pedigree dog food?

Gross! Take it back

Little black hairs in pedigree dog food?

you mean in the food?? Gross! Take it back to the store! there could be somthing wrong with the food!

Little black hairs in pedigree dog food?

Little black hairs in pedigree dog food?

ew you should take it back to where you got it ...we fed our dog pedigree for a long long time but then we found that it made her sick so we switched it i would reccomen the same

Little black hairs in pedigree dog food?

that is gross but that is also bad food to be feedin your dogs

Little black hairs in pedigree dog food?

Yea because pedigree takes all the crap from cows/sheep/pigs that we don't eat (feet, hair, bones), grind it all up, make it into little kibbles and call it dog food. Very rarely do they actually put meat in their food. Please consider feeding your dog real food such as: California Natural, Canadie, Natural Balance, Innova or Natural Choice.

Little black hairs in pedigree dog food?

no it is not that could be rather a bug or else it could even be human hair!!! the best i can say is to rather bring it back to the store and complain or else buy another bag of dog food

Yuck. Not normal from my experience, but then again I don't feed Pedigree.

Little black hairs in pedigree dog food?

most likely rat or mouse hairs you should contact the company for a refund because its not the stores fault

Little black hairs in pedigree dog food?

Good Lord NO! Take it back and get a better food!

Little black hairs in pedigree dog food?

Never noticed it! However a certain amount of rodent hair and various debris is allowed. I would take it back to the store if it upsets you. Was the bag torn?

Contact Pedigree and let them know what you found and then return the bag to the pet store. http://www.pedigree.com/questions/defaul...

Little black hairs in pedigree dog food?

Many pet foods have things you don't even want to HEAR about in them. I buy my cat food at a little pet shop by my house and I only buy the stuff that says "no animal byproducts." on the front. Other pet foods use parts of the animal (like the fur) that aren't meant to be eaten but just put it in the ingredients as chicken or beef meal.

It's a little more expensive this way but there was a news story a while ago about pets dying of kidney failure from the stuff in their pet food. If it doesn't say "no animal byproducts" don't buy it.

Little black hairs in pedigree dog food?

No not at all. My dog eating pedigree(I'm going to change him to Foster and Smith food soon) and we never see black hair. You should dump it outside for the birds and go buy another bag from another place. Try foster and Smith foods. Their higher quality and VERY inexcpensive considering it has no crud in it. Good foodhttp://www.drsfostersmith.com/product/Na...

Little black hairs in pedigree dog food?

I don't think the hair is from rats. It's probably from animals used in the food. Hair is protein, but it is not digestible. Some foods have a lot of hair in it. I had a litter of (rescued bottle-fed) pups I was weaning years ago and I was making a mush of Purina Puppy Chow and found lots of hair.

If anyone is feeding their animals a kibble, take some hot water and make a mush of it and see what you find.

Little black hairs in pedigree dog food?

NO%26lt; NOT AT ALL!

Take it back where you got it, it could be rat hairs, rodents are nasty and you don't want your dogs eating anything contaminated by them. The store will accept it, I return things all the time.

Also write pedigree, and tell them about it, do this first they will want the info off the bag. You can go to the pedigree web-site then find their contact button. Sometimes companies will make it right. But they have a right to know incase the whole batch was tainted

Little black hairs in pedigree dog food?

Well, there's your first mistake; you bought a big bag of Pedigree dogfood! The tiny black hairs could be anything from the remains of other dogs, to the remains of Rats! If you're going to buy cheap dog food, at the least by Purina One!

But in your attempt to save money, you're actually spending more! Dogs will instinctively eat what they need for nutrition; since Pedigree, and other foods like it have many fillers that dogs cannot digest, it comes out the other end... so, they eat more of it, to compensate for all the unhealthy empty calories.

A study I read on Consumers Report; I'm a member, revealed that dogs being fed cheap food will actually cost more to feed, because they eat almost twice as much, and in some cases more than twice as much. It takes my dog two and a half months almost to eat his weight in dog food... I buy Science Diet, Natures Choice... it's the best I can find in Puerto Rico, and was NEVER involved in any recalsl

So, not only are you hurting the dogs (however unintentional it is), you're spending more money to fill them up with junk (worse than raising your children on nothing but chicken nuggets, fries %26amp; coke!) , you're making more of a mess for yourself to clean up... So, if you want to carry half the food, pick up half the poop, and feed your dog far better nutrition, feed them premium dry food, and NEVER give them junk food. I may give my dog some chicken meat, but never fried food, and never junk!

I really hope you found this helpful! There's a lot of knowit alls out there, as you will no doubt gather from readding your answers! I didn't look at them, but I know the crowd, and how they sometimes rant and rave about how evil dogfood makers are, and how we should all buy our dogs THEIR special $5/pound dog food... BS! But I will say that if you insist on buying from Walmart, get their Sams Choice Premium, it's good stuff... or, get Purina One... if you really want to do them well, buy something better, but read the ingredients, and learn about what dogs can, should, and cannot/shouldnot eat... if a food says "vet approved" it doesn't mean squat! A vet has one hour of nutrition training, in his four or five years of vet school... I've had more than that!

Feel free to write me anytime, and I'll give you my 2cents worth... I don't work for anyone selling, and I don't sell myself...(that would be prostitution!), no realy; I don't sell DOG FOOD! But I'm self taught, and have a good nose for Bullshit.. My mailbox is not hidden like some, and my IM isn't either, just introduce yourself, if you write me, or I'll assume you're spammers.

Good night, and God Bless;

Marcos

OMG, you should see Pics of Bandit, and Puerto Rico!

Little black hairs in pedigree dog food?

go return that, complain to the company and don't ever buy commercial dog food every again.

Little black hairs in pedigree dog food?

No that is not normal. Call the company and call your vet, I would take your vet a sample of the food if your dog has already eaten it in case there is a problem. I have not had good experience with pedigree, it turned all of my dogs' poop black and have heard the same from others. If you use a grocery store brand, try Purina, its much better quality.

off of her belly and both hind legs. The vet says it's an allergy. The dog chases her all of the time. Is the dog making her nervous enough to have licked her hair off?

It may be a dog allergy, but I think it is more likely to be stress. Cats do that when they are stressed, and a new puppy is a bog stressor for many cats.

I would see a new vet, but if you want to see the old one ask for some amitriptyline or diazepam to relieve the stress. If the cat stops licking you have your answer.

sounds like she's really stressed over having a new dog in the house...cats do that if they're stressed...bring your cat to a different vet..and explain her the whole story...maybe they can prescribe some meds to relax your cat a bit

very possible. cats respond to stress in one way by cleaning themselves or licking. it could be an alergy, but im betting on stress. make sure your cat has and area that she can get to anytime that is only hers. and make sure she knows it. scold the dog for chasing the cat until she gets more adjusted. maybe at times close the dog up for a brief time and make sure your cat gets some quality one on one time. Im sure thinking a stress thing.

I have to wonder if you puppy brought some fleas that your kitty is not used to. Friends of my lived with me awhile and brought a cat from another state... anyway, my cat ended up nearly bald! It was different type of flea. ( They would not abide my rule of cats stay IN)

Puppy could bring something in from outside and kitty isn't used to it, and BAM! kitty loses fur... Please get Kitty to a vet for meds to stop the hair loss probably prednisone which won't hurt kitty ( kitty might sleep a lot on it, but that's okay)... and some Advantage or something like it... Ask the vet what they recommend. Please treat the pup too, if the vet says it's okay for doggie. Advantage will treat the house being on kitty. Keep kitty on Advantage or whatever your vet likes for several months... this will make this go away and keep it from coming back.

i don't think it's nerves. i'm sorry about kitty. Good luck with your puppy too. maybe they will become friends and play together.

Listen to the vet. Don't get the dog to close to your kitty.

I have a cat that did this once.

My vet told me that there are cats that do this because they have an allergy. However, he didn't think that my cat had the allergy. He said that she only thought she had the allergy. He gave her two shots of cortisone to help the irritated skin. I put lotion on her as well. (It was a basic lotion, no perfumes, special things that it did, etc.) Her hair grew back in a couple weeks. (She has long hair.) What triggered it was a change in the house and the way that she lived. (My boyfriend had partially moved in. Of course, if I had taken that sign as a premonition, I would have tossed him out then.)

The puppy moving in has probably caused her a bit of stress. Don't worry though, she should adjust, and things will get back to normal. Were you paying a little more attention to the puppy trying to get him settled and trained? The puppy chasing her may have caused some stress as well. You might try teaching the puppy not to chase. That ought to be your next project.

The cat is a new and exciting playmate for the puppy. He doesn't understand why the cat doesn't want to play along. He might even think that the cat is playing by running away.

People have introduced puppies and cats together before, so you should have nothing to worry about. Actually, studies have shown that the best pet relationship is an older cat and a younger dog. Just be patient, your cat will de-stress and your puppy will calm down.

Swallowing someone else's hair...??

2009-08-01T16:51:00.003-07:00

so if DNA is found in hair, then if you accidentally eat a piece of hair or dog fur, etc would that mean you have their DNA inside you?? would that affect you at all or would it just go straight through you?

i know...really really stupid question, but just wondering!!

Swallowing someone else's hair...??

No.

Think of it this way: you have the same DNA that you had when you were born, and you will have the same DNA when you die. Imagine all of the things you have eaten over the years.......hot dogs, hamburgers, milk, etc......these things do not become part of your genetic makeup. No worries!!

Swallowing someone else's hair...??

Uh no...

Swallowing someone else's hair...??

YOU'LL BE OKAY

Swallowing someone else's hair...??

You would pass it through your system. You can't genetically alter yourself by eating hair.

Swallowing someone else's hair...??

No, you'll just digest it. Your stomach acid will simply destroy the DNA.

Swallowing someone else's hair...??

due to the fact that hair is made of cellulose and our stomach cant break down cellulose the DNA would not be involved in your system at all

Swallowing someone else's hair...??

there is no dumb or stupid question,,,, no it goes straight through you,, your composite is living,,, once you eat,, it is dead

Swallowing someone else's hair...??

no. people do it all the time anyways

Swallowing someone else's hair...??

Well, it'd just go through your digestive system, it's not like the hair would become part of your own genes or anything. Although technically, you would have somebody else's genes inside you, but only because it would be in your stomach.

Swallowing someone else's hair...??

It would not affect you. It's not a stupid question either.

Swallowing someone else's hair...??

It will pass straight through your system. You are not going to absorb the dogs DNA or something.

Swallowing someone else's hair...??

Is this a confession?

Swallowing someone else's hair...??

I read of a woman a couple months ago that ate her own hair over a period of years and they had to remove a huge hairball from her stomach.

Granted it was her own hair, but even if it was someone else's hair it would just be stomach contents and would not be able to alter her own DNA.

I need help fast. My dog is covered in poison oak!?

2009-08-01T16:51:00.002-07:00

I don't mean he ran through it and I don't want to get it. That's already happened....Over...and over...and over again....The problem is that HE has it. The vets ALL insist that it's not possible, but he's treated for fleas (Frontline, which has worked great the last two years) and he's covered in this horrible rash and will NOT stop itching. I feel so bad for him, but when I get poison oak, I scrub down with rubbing alcohol and take an antihystimine (both of which seem like really bad ideas for the dog). He's a short hair, 100lb dog if that matters. Please, any advice would be great. He's really goin nuts right now.

I need help fast. My dog is covered in poison oak!?

are your sure its poison oak?

my dog has a similar condition, like a really bad red rashall over their stomach and hind legs, and after many vet visits,one finaly informed us that she had excema because of her diet.

so just be careful with what your feeding your dog, nothing thats going to cause an allergic reaction.... basically like wheats and grains... thats what was causing it for our dog.

I need help fast. My dog is covered in poison oak!?

i'm thinking take him to the vet again...or give him a bath...

get some medication for it,

or try the stuff you described.

i'm not a dog expert,

but that seems like a logical thing (to me at least)

I need help fast. My dog is covered in poison oak!?

Take your dog to the vet - it may not be poison oak, but it definitely sounds like a pretty bad allergic reaction.

Why does my moms dog do this?

2009-08-01T16:51:00.001-07:00

My mom has a long hair Chihuahua dog that is mixed with something else. This dog is probably about 13 years old or something like that. As long as I can remember, she has always snuck up on her food and water. She wasn't abused, as my mom raised her from a puppy. We can't figure this out. It's not like she is sneaking up on it to, like, attack it. It's more like she is doing it so that we don't see her. If we call out to her, she jumps and runs away.

Anyone have any idea of why she is doing this?

Why does my moms dog do this?

Here's a serious answer.

Just guesses tho.

She may be blind or near-blind, unable to see if there is another animal at the dish,

or she may have been the littlest, bullied one, and always had to fight for water and food as a pup,

or maybe once something fell on her while she was at the dish, and she is afraid that will happen,

or she might be afraid the water will splash up on her (esp if she doesn't like that)....

or just neurotic.

Usually dogs have reasons for what they do, but we dont' understand where the reasoning is coming from.

Just treat her nicely, she is old and has probably given you many years of love and fun!

Why does my moms dog do this?

She has an eating disorder. Do you call her fat? She's probably got a complex.

Why does my moms dog do this?

I think that this is a case of pansyitis, common in chihuahuas.

Why does my moms dog do this?

she is supitde

Why does my moms dog do this?

every dog needs some sort of drama in their life...

Why does my moms dog do this?

It's a quirk. If she's eating and healthy don't worry too much. You may try putting the food in a shallower dish though. Some dogs are nervous about bowls.

Why does my moms dog do this?

It sounds like for some reason she thinks she's doing something she's not suppose to. Some dogs feel vulnerable when they eat because their head is down.

Why does my moms dog do this?

something must have happened to the dog for it to be sneaky when eating,maybe maybe it wants to be left alone when eating

Why does my moms dog do this?

She may have been startled once or twice, maybe by a loud noise, when going to her bowl, so maybe she thinks she's doing something wrong. Kind of like when people keep a jar of pennies to shake when a pet is doing something wrong. In this case, it could have been unintentional negative reinforcement.
