It really concerns me to see people posting questions on here about their new pup that is younger than 8 weeks old. What kind of breeder would sell a pup so young. I know there is a law against it, but who do you contact to report these things?
Please don’t give me answers like it BYB’s or puppy mills. Just who can I contact?

What is the best health insurance for dogs?




I have two rotties brother and sister 51/2 years old and a rottie/mastiff mix appx. 4 years old and vet. visits are starting to cost alot, ex. one just had a biopsy 400.00 plus another has an infected anal gland (gross) 200.00 plus, will insurance cover these conditions? Side note if anyone a dog whisper type trainer my two males fight and we have to keep them seperate. Thanks for reading.
All are nutered and we walk them together everyday, and excersise them by jogging or going to the park as often as possiable. We follow all the Ceaser rules but Cane (corso/rott mix) and Stormy (rott) still fight if no child gate is between them.

What venison food should I switch my dog over to?




I’m in a dilemma, I have been feeding my dog Nutro Venison and Brown Rice dry food. He has had some pretty bad skin reactions to other food in the past (he’s a lab), but the venison seemed to be very good for him. The problem is that Nutro has not shipped the Venison and Brown Rice food to stores for the past 3+ months, apparently they are having some "packaging issues"? So now I am almost out of his food. Does anyone have any recommendations for another brand of dog food that makes a venison food?

My dog is eight years old. He has never been a digger. He never chewed or was destructive at all. However, he will not stop digging in the mulch in my flower beds. Does anyone know of a way to get him to stop??

My cat is holding her head strangely. Please help?




One of my cats (outdoors) has never gained weight since we found her in February. She’s terribly thin, though she’s always supplied with food, liver, chicken and tuna and plenty of fresh water. She was wormed at the vet, so it wouldn’t be worms. When we bring her food, she does eat and she drinks a good amount of water.

She’s seemed to have problems with her eyes, they seem clear, but she doesn’t seem to see that well and one of her pupils is larger than the other.

She’s also never gone into heat, she’s not fixed either. She’s about a year and a half old.

She’s a very happy, loving cat despite these things. She’s very happy to see us, purrs very loud and rubs against anything she can.

However, today I noticed she started holding her head down and to the side when she walked and she also seemed to have some balance problems.

She won’t stand for very long now, she’ll get up, and promptly find a place to lay down again. We’ve let her rest for the day, and I intend to give her some cat antibiotics to clear up any infections she might have.

We love her very much, we knew that there was a possibility she could have a disease when we found her because she’s been in poor health, but we gave her a loving home despite the fact. She’s seen the vet, but we could not have blood work done due to the high price.

I’d prefer advice from a vet. What could be the problem with her? I believe if might be Feline Leukemia, and I know it’s incurable. I just want to know how I can make her comfortable if it is her time to pass or if it could be an inner ear infection?
She doesn’t seem to be in pain. She’s never cried out, twitched, cleaned herself erratically or responded badly to touch. I’ve lived with cats my whole life and sadly I’ve seen them in pain and I can read their body language very well. She’s really shown no other sign than contentment, however she has no energy. I’ll definitely see about getting her to a vet this evening but they’re going to want to do expensive blood tests that I can’t afford just yet.

We just lost our dog last week. He had meny health issues. We spent thousands on vet bills and although we don’t expect issues with a new puppy, we would prefer to be prepared. You can’t just sign up for the insurance when you have a problem.

Thanks for any help!

Why is my dog ill after vaccinations?




I have an 8 yr old rat terrier whom just yesterday had her annual vaccinations. She was fine the entire afternoon. This morning however she’s become lethargic and won’t get up. It seems she’s in pain. She won’t drink or eat either. I’ve been doing a lot of reading on the controversy of pet vaccination, but can’t find a clear answer. Are these symptoms specifically more common than not in older dogs? Or is it a sign of a serious reaction to the vaccines? Let me know!! I’m worried.
