Pet Insurance | Find The Best Pet Health Insurance Plans And Vet Insurance.
I have 2 dogs and a cat and live in a small home. I vacuum daily…sometimes more and dust every day. But the pet hair still sticks to my clothes so bad that even when I wash my laundry, most of the hair is still there. Any answers??? And no… getting rid of I will not get rid of my pets.
what do you think i should do to cure her ?i have consulted a vet and he said it may be due to the delivery .My another doggie had died of cd virus infection just 2 months before and all my dogs were given vaccination against the virus after that . do you think that might be the possible reason for my dog’s condition?
and how common is it?
even if my dog is not exposed to other dogs?
What could I write?
Lack of space: I’ve seen 3 dogs kept in 1 small cage, 30 goldfish is a 10 gallon tank, 10 hamsters in 1 cage etc…
Handling of pets: ???
Pet vaccinations: I heard petshops inject dogs with ‘terestrol’ or something so they don’t grow to big; bad news is it kills them early…
Anything else?
I have 2 chihuahuas we got from the pound….and we got a Dog License Renewal form from the county……why do I need to license my dogs? Whats the purpose, and whats the penalties if I decide not to? Just wondering….is it that important?
we are going to england in November for a vacation and my husband is going to be looking for a job.. My dogs vaccinations aren’t due again till February, will we be able to fly back with him Christmas time and not have to put him in six months quarantine?
How would you go about kennelling your dog if you are going on holiday when all boarding kennels have to request the dogs are vaccinated otherwise they are not covered by their insurance? (At least in the UK) Or do you all use pet-sitters/friends instead?
Itoya - thank you for at least answering but please read the question properly - I KNOW why kennels require vaccinating - I am a quaified Veterinary Nurse - I am asking the owners that don’t what do they do as it is something I have considered.
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 have three dogs: Mastiff/sheppard, chow/sheppard and a lab/springer. All three dogs HATE being inside so I’m in the process of finishing off my garage. I live in North Carolina so the winters here are really not that bad, we hit around the 30’s. My dogs will be sleeping in my garage with a doggie door installed on the side entrance door. All dogs are well trained on an invisible dog fence so they do their business outside and come back in to play.
Now, I’m looking for some creative ideas on how to make a couple of dog beds for my boys. Two of them love to chew, they have PLENTY of chew toys and they are trained NOT to chew but sometimes they can’t resist the urge. Just to be on the safe side, I would love to get some ideas on chew-proof beds.
Thanks so much, everyone on this board has been such a big help to me in the past! 
i just heard a little about the license of a dog is going up to 150.00 from 36.00 for unnuerted dogs. Is this true? And if so why?
I am stuck btw 2 health insurance companies for my 3 dogs. One covers hip dysplasia and the other does not.
I am curious if any of the breeds above are at increased risk for it.
My dogs are a 41lb lab/corgi mix
35lb border collie mix daughter of the dog above
18lb pomeranian
Thanks.
why do most humans have to wash their hair every other day or every other day or it will get greasy but dogs or cats never get greasy hair?
My 2 year old boxer will be attending obedience classes with 20 other dogs and I wondered if this would be a good idea. He is up to date with all other shots,worming,flea treatments etc, I am just concerned about Kennel cough, or would you suggest anything else?
Hi this is a question for those of you who have health insurance for your dogs.
There is 2 plans one that covers up to 00 a year and one that covers up to 10,000 a year
Seriously which did you choose and why? What is the MOST you ever had to spend at the vet for your dog in ONE year? I have always been SO lucky…aside from routine dog stuff I have never had a major injury in any of my dogs requiring treatment KNOCK ON WOOD!
Now this plan would cover MVD…if a dog would be diagnosed with MVD what would be the cost of treatment? Does anyone know or have a dog with MVD they could share experiences? Again, I being a Cavalier breeder, have been fortunate enough to have never seen this.
I am still laughing….I live is SUCH a rural place that canine health insurance is NEVER seen until lately. Something I am considering for my new pup who is a Cavalier, of course. She will be a dog that I plan to show and currently has some pts earned with her breeder. (she is 9mos old) I recently purchased her from a great breeder and I am exploring my options as far as health insurance for her to try it out and see how it works for us in the long run. The breeder offers 3 free months so we will continue it and I figure as long as we have it I may as well make sure I have enough coverage for ANYTHING that may happen.
Yes, I know my pup…glued to me and minds extremely well the first time as do all my dogs
I am also extremely familiar with this breed as I have dedicated the last few years of my life to bettering this breed. I know my bloodlines well and I chose this particular dog based on well know bloodlines that are heart healthy with no SM in the bloodlines. However…this is my first time insuring a dog and as long as I am paying for insurance I figure I may as well have a plan that is capable of covering the unlikely should it happen…if that makes sense.
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.
