he uses beds, chairs and when he is scratching his is whining, he had this problem before and the vet said it was allergies, but what could be giving him the allergies. Im pretty sure he doesnt have ticks or fleas because i checked him and we also gave him a 3 in 1 flea and tick collar and a flea bath. When he gets excited is when he starts scratching, its not when he is sleeping its only certain times, it doesn’t bother him all the time.

I have a new puppy and he needs vaccinations. Is it tacky to call around and compare prices of veterinarians in the area? I understand with pet’s care it shouldn’t be about the money, but if it’s the same vaccination, I don’t want to be charged more for it.

A month ago I bought a new down alternative comforter that was made of mostly polyester. I loved the look of it, but we have a cat who occasionally sleeps on the bed during the day and her hair was so visable and extremely difficult to remove- I tried both lint sticky rollers and one of those Plegde pet hair removers and neither worked to remove her hair.
What kinds of fabrics are the most pet hair resistant?

Dog Breeder Guidelines?




I bought my 8 month year old pure bred Canadian Kennel Club registered dog from a breeder 6 months ago. Knowing I bought her with a heart murmur (didn’t do alot of research of what could happen) she was diagnosed with PDA. She needed a surgery that was pretty expensive in order to live longer than 3 years and I did the surgery and everything seems to be good. I contacted the breeder to see if she would give me my money back to help pay for the surgery and she said she would only take the dog back and give me a new one when available. Since I refused to do that (since I am attached and was going ahead with the surgery) I declined her offer since she would not give me anything back for it. Because I was not a educated dog buyer, I do not have a contract from the breeder, all I received from her from a little paper receipt stating how much I paid and the words written "1 year health guarantee", information on the microship, vet information, 6 weeks pet insurance and CKC info. I understand I should have done alot more research before purchasing a pure breed dog, but I am wondering if there is anything else that can be done? I am not too familiar with the Canadian Kennel Club, (i know that they will not get involved in disputes), but is there anywhere I can file a complaint against her? I am very concerned as well as she seems to be listing a couple other different breeds of dogs on Kijiji, and I am starting to think she could be a puppy mill.
My Fiance bought the dog for me as a surprise not being well educated on it and the breeder misinformed him and said the heart murmur will "go away". i know its our fault for taking the dog with a heart murmur.

Do you need a dog breeding license in Massachusetts if you are only breeding one personal dog?
Even though you will make money off of the off spring?

I need some websites like foo pets but that are free.I don’t want nothing like foo pets or neopets. I need something different like a real pet but online.

Hi! I’m trying to decide what cat litter to get for my cat. I’m reluctant to using clumping clay litters, or crystals, so I was thinking of either World’s Best Cat litter (the corn based one), Yesterday’s News litter, or Feline Pine.
I want the one that is the safest for her – the least dusty and something that if she accidently ingests, she won’t get sick from.
I know these litters aren’t as easy to clean as the clumping caly types, but I’m willing to compromise on this for my cats health.
I also live in Canada, so the litter would have to be available here at stores such as Petsmart and Petcetera, etc.

Please let me know which one you think is best. All answer greatly appreiated. Best answer will be chosen (10 points.)
Thanks,
Kaylee

Paranoid, anxiety, HELP.?




I’ve always been an anxious person since I was young but this has just gotten out of hand. A little background on me: I’m a 21 year old, female. Since I was 17 I have been moving around from place to place, settling down for a couple months, heading back home for a couple months and then off to somewhere new. I’ve been home now since early July, have a steady job and living situation and just recently became involved in a relationship with a guy I’ve known for years. I have no intentions of leaving the area anytime soon.
My problems started a couple months ago. I’m such an anxious wreak all of the time it’s affecting my work, the relationship I’m trying to get going with this guy I really care about and even the relationship with my family. I’m on edge all the time, I’m paranoid about the most outlandish things, absurdly irritable and on top of it all I have this constant, awful [head feels like it's going to pop, butterflies in my stomach, pressure on my chest] anxiety.
Like I said, I’ve always been anxious and I’ve always been able to deal with it. Jogging or biking is always how I’ve dealt with it in the past but this is just so out of hand. It’s like I’m constantly PMSing (and no, I’m definitely not pregnant.) I have no health insurance and between my bills, food and my dog, I have no money to splurge and see a doctor. I’ve never been a supporter of non-homeopathic medication, I won’t even take pain killers, but at this point..bring on the drugs! Any advice at all would be very, very, very much appreciated.

Also, I realize that it’s all probably a result of being cooped up like this when it’s not what I’m used to but I’ve been unstable for far too long. Stability, my family, my job, this guy; this is all what I really want right now.
I’m not at all ashamed of this, I just quite literally have no money to see a doctor. Unless someone can recommend some kind of low cost way to see a therapist? hah

Cat Reactions to First Shots and Blood Test?




My 4 month old kitten just had his first set of shots and a blood test for feline leukemia. Now he is not eating, hiding, and he seems very sore and achy. Is this normal and should I be worried?
