I want to start feeding my dog Orijen dog food, but it isn’t sold anywhere near me and shipping costs are outrageous. I want to feed my dog the best and healthiest food. Any suggestions? Are merrick, Fromm, or wellness brands comparable alternatives?

Apply to and regional mgr. called me back next day . Conducted phone interview. Checked out the website and it seems like expensive, but decent product for dogs. Some problem with the cat food. I have insurance sales and teaching experience so I could do the approach and education about the product with ease. But can you make the sales quotas in a PetSmart with 600-800 customers per weekday?

My father has a pet crow, also has had numerous sinus and lung infections not to mention pnumonia on several occasions and still believes the scavenger has no part of his condition, he refuses to believe the uncleanliness of this creature defocating where ever it lands in his house doesn’t hurt anything, even though he has been hospitalized several times for pulmanary infections and extreme diffuculty breathing, please share any information,
thanks.

Say you are infected with both diseases. They are common bacterias each can be treated with the same antibiotics but would you have to take double the antibiotics. Would their be more complications or less rate to kill the bacteria?

Im looking into getting and insurance plan for my dog because trips to the vet aren’t so cheap and since im not too familiar with this kind of stuff I need to know what are some good insurances?

I need an affordable pet insurance plan with a low deductible. I am looking for something that will cover wellness exams and vaccines rather than emergencies. My kitten is young and although things can happen I would rather have the coverage for the routine all the time things rather than the one big thing. Any suggestions?
Nearest Banfield hospital is 60 miles away :(

Am I over reacting or is this reasonable?

I am 5 months pregnant and my boyfriend and I got pregnant while on birth control so it was deff a surprise. He wants me to move into the house but I agreed only if he fixes up the house (it was a bachelor pad for many years with pet urine/poo carpet along with other issues). He is slowly starting to fix up the house but his dogs are driving me nuts. They are not well mannered (getting on the furniture) and still poo in the house! When I try to disapline them he says "Dont talk to my dog like that" BUT I cant even have my cat there b/c he thinks he would be too mean to the dogs. He has 5 junker cars that I would not put a baby in and he is not willing to get rid of a few to get a nice car but he wants me to get rid of my mustang for an SUV. I feel like my life is being controlled by him and it is partially my fault for letting him for so long. But the longer we are together the less I want to be with him. Most recently he seems to be hanging out with his friends a lot, which normally would be fine but I always get the short end of the stick! For example today I am sick and didnt go to work. And he had made plans to see a friend for a few hours which I respected and didnt care…but I got to the point I could not get my temp down and almost went to the hospital and could not get ahold of him. Im starting to feel like this is more hassle than its worth. Everything I do I could do on my own. He doesnt have health insurance so I dont have to stay b/c of that and my parents are more than willing to let me stay at their house. He is excited to be a dad, but I think he has no idea how to be a good boyfriend.

My daughter has a Heeler/Pit which is only 2 years old and he was diagnosed with Leukemia earlier this year so I went out and bought her a purebread Heeler pup and would’nt you know..the sick dog got better and the vet said he was very healthy and his blood test came back clear. Now all of a sudden he got real sick very fast, won’t eat, looses his bladder and is mucus coming from his nose, after a moment he comes out of it.

I know there are many considerations to make in choosing the breed of dog that is right for your family, but this is a big one for me. I have two cats with no dog experience and I would really like to see them all get along. Not only do I not want them to fight, but I want them to be friends.

Open to just about any suggestions. We like big dogs, small dogs, everything in between, and active dogs as well as lap dogs. We’re not too picky.

What does becoming an equine vet involve?

I am in high school and i am sort of pondering over the idea of becoming an equine vet. I was just wondering what sought of things you need to be good at and are there any sought of characteristics that you need to become a good equine vet. I love horses of course and i am also good at science if that helps?

For example, like pet hair/dander removal or detoxifying of the whole apartment, etc. I am allergic to pets and will be moving soon to a pet-friendly town for college and I am afraid I might move into an apartment and sneeze all the time.

I plan on getting a cat in a few weeks and would like to know everything i can before then. This is a regular sized cat, not too fat, not too skinny. Maybe roughly 10lbs. So how much canned food should I give her? Is it okay to alternate between canned and dry food? If so, how much dry food should she eat?
