Why did Fresh Step litter move to smaller sizes?




I noticed that Fresh Step litter just made all their sizes smaller. 21 went to 20 and 28 went to 25. Don’t they know we know that this is a price increase in disguise? I can t believe they would do this.

Sick Dog?




my dog is sick…i think. she wont eat, she wont drink, and she wont even lick your face(for her thats a big deal she always licks your face) but all in all she loks the same… what could be wrong, she looks skinnier towards her rear area and when she walks, its real slow like and she just wont do anythingand when she breathes its kind of slow and jittery… does anybody know what could be wrong and what i should do?
shes starting to nibble her ham we gave her and i need to know how much would it cost for a vet to tell me whats wrong and what to treat her with
we cant really afford to take her to the vet so if there is anything i can give her to make her better i would be happy to know anything you know

Why does my dog avoid my other sick dog?




I have 2 dogs and one is sick. Why does my non sick dog avoid the sick one when she would normally torment him. She is afraid to even go near him and usually they are inseparable?

What should I name my dog training service?




I train dogs and help people find the breed that suits their lifestyle. I give information on good locations to obtain a dog [breeder, shelter] and how to care, etc. But this service is mainly about training and pet finding.

Feline Leukemia?




My cat is smelly…both inside and out! He smells like..man theres no word for it! But also when you pet him a bunch of his hair falls out onto the couch and everywhere else. He is also going bald right above his eyes…we have taken him to the vet, and they are doing some tests but i can’t wait. Could these be signs of feline leukemia?

I’m following Dr. Pitcairn’s Complete Guide to Natural Health for Dogs and Cats and I have found bonemeal online but not vitamin C for cats in a powder form. Any websites that you know of besides PETCO or PETSMART?

I am doing a project for 4-H dog club and I need to know the main responsibility of a canine law enforcement officer. I would also like to know what the difference is between that and a animal control officer.

How does a dog collar get imbedded in a dog’s neck?




I have seen this on animal planet when they rescue a dog. Is it because these people never check the dog collar? It sounds so cruel to me.

How long does open cat food stay good?




My cat needs special [expensive] canned cat food, like .50 per can. She’s very picky and will only eat it if it’s been sitting out for a while. It is a meat-based food.

If I feed her the newly opened wet food around 7am, she won’t touch it until about 3pm. A human obviously wouldn’t want to eat plain meat that’s been left out that long because it would be spoiled.

My question is, is this harmful? Would she still eat it if it was ‘bad’/spoiled or would she know the difference? How long can wet cat food be left out at room temperature without being spoiled? Thanks!
Thanks everyone for the details, very much appreciated.

She is almost 20 years old and has irritable bowel syndrome [just like people I guess, it almost killed her a few years ago]. So she is on a restricted diet of only rabbit and duck food. She does get some dry food, something special but I forget the name.
The only rabbit and duck food I have found is through a vet’s office which is why it is so expensive I guess.

She was so sick a few years back and had surgery for it. She pulled through and has been doing well ever since with this food. There was some interaction with chicken/beef/fish and her digestive system which is why we can’t feed her the normal store food if anyone is curious.

so thank you again, this really helps. hope all of your cats are happy!!

Any thoughts on BLUE Organic Dog Food?




I recently switched my dog (two year old German Shepherd) from Purina to BLUE Organic Dog food, and I was wondering if it is as good as it claims to be. Any thoughts from people who have or do feed their dog BLUE??
I feed him the Blue Adult Life Protection Formula – Chicken and Brown Rice Recipe.
