I have a 5 month old mini pinscher. We got her rabies tags today (her first rabies shot) so she has that tag. Does we need a dog license as well??? What other tags do we need? Does she need to carry all her tags on her collar/harness??

also:

I researched about vaccinations & all that, & i know that even with the new vaccination protocol, some vets still insist on yearly vaccs even though this has proven to be harmful to animals. I gathered a lot of info about vaccs & came up with this:
a dog should get its combo series 3 times in its puppy years..
then again when its 1 years old
then every 3 years from then.

a dog should get its rabies 4-6 months 1 time
then again 1 year later
& then every 3 years later from then.

& a dog should get its bordatella in a series as a puppy
then every year.

is this all correct? id love to hear all your opinions & how you vaccinate your dogs. thanks so much.
I live in Brooklyn, New York. & for the 6th poster: parvo is included in the combo shots (combo=dhlpp)

I was thinking that in previous years there were websites that listed your state, county & where you could purchase a dog license within your county. However, I’ve had no luck finding a website this year. Does anyone know of one? Thank you!

Merry Christmas.

Where I live my city requires that we license our dogs once a year. Any intact dog is /year, any nutered/spayed dog is /year.

Loads of people I know refuse to license their dogs… why is that? I asked the shelter people what was so important about licensing and they said it was used as a way to make sure people are keeping up with their animal’s vaccinations AND to make sure people are not exceeding their alotted ratio of pets (we’re allowed 3 cats and 2 dogs per address. The most important thing they said was that if my dogs ever got accused of biting whether it be on the street or on my property, I wouldn’t have to scramble to find their rabies records because it’s all on file with the city.

I guess my question is — why wouldn’t you license your pet? How often / how much is your licensing?

My dogs wear 3 id’s on their collars - ID tag, License & Avid ID.
In so far as what do they do about too many pets, they simply won’t adopt out anymore animals to you if you’ve exceeded your maximum.

I’m relying much more on the Avid (microchip) to return the girls home should they ever be lost.

The shelter also told me that if the girls ever bite OUTSIDE our city, they won’t have to be taken to a strange shelter, they would be returned home right away.

I see no reason not to license, just wondering why some people are against it. I see no ‘con’s.

which are good for my cat Golden, raw or cooked food? most of the time Golden eats Iams or Webmaster (dried cat food, suggested by my vet & pet shop). but he favors raw or cooked food better. he will meowing madly whenever i came home from the fish market, or whenever i cooked fish. therefore I usually give him some. some friends said fish (raw or cooked) may cause him to get worm. any advise?

I think it’s making my kittys eyes water. sometimes after he uses his box his eyes will water. it isn’t gooey or gross, just normal looking tears. I’m thinking it could be the litter i am using, which seems to work the best to cover up the smell cmpared to other litters i have used, so any suggestions on a different litter that will work just as well & not make my cats eyes water? and is this a possible reason his eyes water?

I have actually been successful with treating kitty distemper (feral kitty) with a natural antibiotic called goldenseal root, plus frequent hydration and food with an eyedropper. It’s all I had on hand & I couldn’t afford to take feral kitty to a vet.

MRI’s, PET and CAT Scans, etc… R&D is expensive. And the cost to own/rent medical equipment is very high, so Hospitals and Doctors need to keep using it and bill insurance companies.

For good or bad, would this change? Would companies still be motivated to produce better equipment?

Very interesting answers. And very contradictory to each other.

My fiance and I are getting married June 14, 2009.
This will be our first apartment. Both of our parents own homes/ building and have tenants.
We live and are looking for an apartment in Queens, NY.
We are 23 and 24. No (live-in) kids or pets. I am a recent grad & I work part-time. And he works full time as well as 2nd part time job.

Our dream apartment would be a fairly modern 2 bedrooms, living room, bath and eat-in kitchen. With utilities included. And at least a 1 year lease.
What is an average/ fair price for an apartment like that..

Would it be better to pay my utilities or have them included?
What can i expect or need to do in result of having our own apartment?
What is your opinion on renter’s insurance?
Just any advice you have for first time renters would be appreciated!
Thank you.
from checking craigslist and ads, apartments with what we are looking for run from 00 (if your lucky) to 00 a month. and only half of the higher priced apartment include utilities, and these are private, not complexes.

* Wow 0!! for 2 bedrooms, We need to move to Wisconsin then!
