Why does my dog have doubles of her canine teeth?

I have a 9 month old yorkshire terrier(female). Lately she hasn’t really been eating her dog food so I have been trying too feed her pieces of cooked chicken and beef, she ate it at first but she would even refuse that sometimes. She is starting to loose weight and it worries me. I looked in her mouth and she has double of all her canine teeth but one, so she has 7 canine teeth. I was wondering what I should do, shouldn’t they have fallen out yet?

I have an 18 lb dog, I bought a 40 lb bag of Costco’s Kirkland Premium Dog food and stored the food in an airtight food contrainer. It is going to take him about 3 months to eat all of that food. How long will the food stay good?
The expiration date is 3/2010

How to stop my dog from being food aggressive?

My 7 month old lab puppy is a little food aggresive, but it’s not nessecarily her dog food, but any bone she really enjoys. Like, if you go to take it from her she’ll either go off into her kennel, or bark, sometimes she snaps, but she doesn’t bite, fortunately. I’m sure it’s still food aggression though. Do you have any ideas on how to make her stop this behavior, since we have a lot of young relatives and it doesn’t seem safe, still. My younger brother is terrified when she barks at him.

My dog had diarrhea for a day and a half and we started to feed her chicken and rice.

How many days should I keep her on this?

I’m thinking today and tomorrow on it, then 3rd day add half dog food half chicken rice then the 4th day back to dry dog food. We use Innova by the way if it’s any concern to anyone..
If her stool returns to normal today, should I completely stop next meal?

My dog has been eating people for a little under a year. When I tried to switch him to dog food, he puked after about 5 pieces. The next day it was the same after about 10 pieces.

I have been feeding my 1year old Lab Purina dog chow, but read an Answer yesterday that this was a bad choice. I am also getting a small,terrier mix puppy this weekend and want to start her out on a good food. Any recommendations? Please don’t condemn me for my dog food choice – I know now it was a bad one. I researched it yesterday after seeing the Dogfood analysis link.

RAW feeders please correct me if I'm wrong but?

I’ve read allot of RAW feeders who say that kibble or bagged dog food is not the best,due to food recalls and such,and that raw food is the best because its a dogs natural diet,but most dog food recalls are due to Salmonella or E.Coli contamination,but RAW food also contains salmonella and e.coli,so why is it that RAW feeders are basically feeding there dog contaminated food,and if that’s okay then I shouldn’t be so concerned when theres another pet food recall,because thousands of people feed there dogs RAW contaminated meat.Please correct me if I’m wrong,and I am not trying to offend anybody in anyway,its just a question that got me thinking:)Thanks in advance to everyone that shares there opinions!!

What could cause a dog to vomit up solid food?

My dog has been acting lethargic and occasionally vomiting up her dog food all day. I only gave her a small amount of food after she threw up the first time. Every time she vomits her food comes up completely solid. She has thrown up about 7 times since this this morning. Now tonight she is drooling a little bit. I’m taking her to the vet in the morning, there were none open today. I’m just worried what this could be. Does anyone know what is wrong with her?

I have a great dane, a catahoula cur (<another fairly large dog), 2 yorkies and 2 chinese cresteds. My problem lies with the larger dogs. I go through a 50lb bag of dog food every other week-which costs over . Each large dog is eating a tea pitcher full a day. Would they eat less on a different brand, or am I just feeding too much?

I have a dog that has a lot of allergies and I’m having trouble finding a dog food for him. He’s allergic to wheat, corn, soy, dairy, chicken and beef! And of course, it can’t be super expensive? I’m trying one, but it’s for a 40# bag. I’m a nurse so I work about 50hrs/wk so I don’t have time to cook meals for him.
