What brand of dog bed is the best?




I want to get my dog a therapeutic bed since he is getting old and has a bad back. Any links or websites where I can check it out? Also I need one that doesn’t cost oodles of money.

I just discovered that my 1.5 year old cat has Leukemia ( I have to put her down tomorrow :( )
and I was just wondering if any of my other (3) cats could be at risk. Last year, all of my cats including the one with leukemia had their vaccinations against FeLV but this wasn’t until 2 months after I brought home the one that had leukemia.
So could my other cats get leukemia in that period of time before they got vaccinated, or can they only spread it once the infected cat shows symptoms? They recently got their vaccinations for this year but I have no idea if they could be carrying the virus or not
"Café Mocha Valencia"
I actually brought this cat home from a farm where it was skinny and suffering, and all of my cats are indoor cats. Why would you even say I’m irresponsible? That’s such an inappropriate comment

Insuring my two kittens. How does it work?




I want to insure my two kittens, I’ll be bringing them home in april.

I’m curious as to how it works. I checked it out at the OSPCA and my total was like 44 bucks per month. But when does the insurance kick in? Can I use it for spaying? What about vaccinations? Do I have to be paying monthly fees for a cirtain amaount of time before my vet vills are covered?

Anything you know about pet insurance please tell me
thanks in advanced

I personally do not believe in vaccinating dogs every single year because it is absolutely unnecessary. I wish I do not have to vaccinate my dogs all the time but I am forced to in order to be able to renew my dogs’ licenses. This is the new Malaysian ruling. If my dogs are caught not wearing their new licenses each year, I could get fined & my dogs could get confiscated.

So I am just wondering, will there be any harm caused to my dogs if they’re vaccinated every single year for the rest of their lives?

How to kill fleas on my pets and in my home?




Any suggestions? We have 2 cats and a dog. Usually we use advantage or revolution on our dog and our 2 cats, but it has been a few months since we have been able to get some more and I just saw a flea on my kitty! I placed an order for some flea stuff, but i hate the thought that they have fleas bugging them in the meantime. Does anyone have any suggestions for killing all the fleas safely without harming the pets? I would rather use something safe but if i cannot find anything, I will use revolution or advantage…or something like that. Thanks!

Today, at work, I heard what has to be one of the sadder stories I’ve heard in awhile.

Owner got his 10-to-12-week-old pit bull its first shots – from my clinic, that’s usually the DHPP/DHPP4L and a Strongid dewormer. The customer went home shortly after vaccination, and the dog had a reaction at home. Nothing was done to take care of the dog until four days later, and the puppy died. The animal clinic the dog went to for treatment has reported the owner for animal cruelty.

I’m hoping they nail this guy to the wall.

Are there any legal repercussions for animal cruelty?

TL;DR – do not have a pet if you cannot afford to take care of it.

I have just read on CNN the ireports of people surviving brain cancer. Some people were saying they had no health insurance.

Can you imagine YOURSELF or a loved one, with no insurance, being hit with a brain tumor diagnosis?

Why do we punish (by death) those people in our society who:
-have lost their insurance when being laid off;
-who don’t have enough insurance for certain treatments
-who have opted out of insurance due to the high spirits of YOUTH
-who are mentally weak, incapable of holding their own in this DOG-EAT-DOG world (since when are we punishing the weak with death?)
-the certified mentally ill…homeless etc..
-the bums who DO NOT WANT TO WORK and their children (since when are we punishing lazyness with death?)

How can you be pro-life for the UNBORN and yet deny life to the already living?
Is the difference resting with the fact that to be anti-abortion it costs you nothing…while a universal healthcare system would cost you?
"I am my borther’s keeper" is NOT a communist idea.
I am pro-life, anti-abortion.

I have two cats, and one was just diagnosed with feline leukemia. The other has been vaccinated against it. What should I do? I don’t want to get rid of the FeLV postive one. The vet said that since my other cat was vaccinated, he’ll be fine, but I’m reading things on the internet that say otherwise.

Why is my Dog Smarter than Your Dog???




My dog goes to a private elite school where he is trained on how to behave properly and actually gets a real education. They teach him the ABC’s, which means he can actually read and say a few words such as hello, he can also do math! Not just that, he has his own dog car that he drives with a cute little dog license. I’m able to afford him many luxuries which consist of him going to a dog hotel when I’m away, or if he wants to get busy there is a wide varirty of pure bred female dogs that he may choose any that he likes to mate with. He also has his own park and minature dog mansion right next to my mansion. I even bought him a phone if he ever feels like calling MAMA. He is so trained that he knows how to use a phone and can even walk himself.

My daughter has a mysterious rash that came from a bug bite. I’m worried that it’s Lyme disease. Do I need to take her to the ER tomorrow, or should I wait until Monday? I called today to make an appointment, but there was nothing available until Wednesday. How urgent is this?
I’ve been pulling ticks off the kids and dog all day. In the last few days, the ticks have gotten bad.

Should I get my kitten vaccinated?




There’s many people and articles saying that further research into pet vaccination has showed that it’s more harmful then helpful to animals. It’s getting me a little iffy about getting my 12 week old kitten getting vaccinated. Opinions?

Best vacuum for pet hair?




Best Vacuum for pet hair?
I need a new vacuum cleaner, and we have two dogs that shed soooo much ;-)
Well I see there are many vacuum cleaners in stores that mention that they are good for a household with pets?
Does any of you have personal experience, advice which one is best? or to stay away from?
Thank you.
