My family adopted a cat from a shelter. Shes only a kitten, around five months old. When we adopted her, the people at the shelter gave us a small bag of cat food, which I’m assuming is healthy. The problem is, she doesn’t like it. She refuses to eat it unless shes desperate for food. My mom bought meow mix and she started eating a LOT more often. But I’ve been told that,meow mix is poor as far,as the quality of the food goes. Whats a cat food that is good for her that she will like?

I have a 1 year old Dachshund who is in perfect shape and my mom wants to neuter him. She’s worried that he will become increasingly overweight and have weight issues for the rest of his life. Can this happen? Should we not get him neutered?
He pees on everything and chews everything. Does this have anything to do with his "man parts"?

My mom has 4 miniature pinscher who has recently had puppies. The parents are AKC registered by the owner before my mom but he past away and she doesn’t know where the papers are. He named them odd names and she can’t remember them so she renamed them all. So is there any way we can get papers on all the puppies?

I am looking to get started in babysitting or something like that like pet sitting. I am looking into getting a dog and my mom would pay the fee of the dog as long as I pay for most of everything else it needs. I am going to get pet insurance to help so i dont have to deal with vet bills. I know that no dog is cheap but my mom is going to help out. Right now a get a month for allowance and I feel that isn’t going to be enough for a small dog. I am going to ask my dad if I can do chores at his house for allowance of maybe a month or maybe a little more, but I would like to start babysitting or something to get more because I want to make sure I definitely have enough for my dog. Can you give me ideas of what a 14 year old girl can do for a job, and also how to get started in babysitting? Thanks!

I have a 8 week old Boxer, her name is Trixie but I have to fill out some AKC paperwork, her mom’s name was Black Sapphire but they called her "Liv" and her dad’s name was Enoch Pleased or something like that but they called him Enoch.

I can’t really think of anything.
I guess it has to be a 2 part name?

I am 13 years old so I can’t really go to the veterinarian myself…

I want to spay my 5 year old female Yorkshire Terrier but my mom usually says "we’ll just get the male neutered" and I want my dog spayed. She just doesn’t understand that and we DO have money to do both spaying and neutering.

Any ideas (good ones) on how to convince her to spay my dog?

well, i am 14 and i have lots of experience with dogs, cats and horses, and have owned all three. i know this is probably the description of every other animal loving teen out there, but i am interested in volunteering at the vet’s office.

i will be a freshman at the local high school this year and i have been looking at the university of georgia for college and heard through the grape vine that they offered an accelerated vet program for prospective veterinary students. only four are accepted a year or something like that. there are a few requirements and one of them is to have so many hours volunteering with a vet before junior year. i myself have called and left a message at the admissions office requesting more information on the program if one even exists.

i was thinking about this today and i would love to get a head start on getting the hours required for the program if it exists, but the hours would be helpful anyways for high school requirements and possibly college applications.

i know about all the liability and insurance risks that the office takes in order for me to even stand there and that i will probably only be in the way, but do you think that i could start this early volunteering there?

and by the way, i tried to volunteer at the shelter because i figured that they would need the help more than the vet’s office, but they said that if you were under 16, a parent had to be present while you were volunteering. my mom stayed there for two hours one day and i just can’t make her waste her time like that, it’s not fair to her because i know she has better things to do. would this be the same for the vet’s office?

thanks a bunch!
thanks for the answers! and i don’t mind doing the "boring" work and i understand the liability risks and stuff i just want to do something productive after school besides riding that might count for something later on.

ive been raw feeding my dog for about too weeks, and all of a sudden my mom tells me to switch to kibble, she thinks feeding raw is a bad thing
note- im paying for the food, and cleaning and disinfecting afterwords
where can I find a video or pictures showing how commercial pet food is made, so that i can show my mom what actually goes in it
also give a heads up if theres any bloody messes or gore in it, ( i dont want to show her that, so i skip those parts)
as for switching to high quality kibble, id much rather feed her raw, than kibble
yes, i did all the research i needed before i started raw feeding, ive read the websites and stuff
the reason i want a video is because, if its just text, she will most likely say this "just because it says it on the internet doesnt mean its true"

im guessing i will just show her all the raw feeding sites
edit- just to let you know im using the prey model diet

I just rescued a Parson Russell Terrier (long-legged Jack Russell) from the Humane Society where I volunteer. She is very thin, and I want her to gain weight quickly (in a healthy way), but I don’t know what brand of dog food to feed her. I already know that commercial dog food brands (i.e. Purina) are full of indigestible components such as artificial colors/preservatives and animal by-products, so I’m positive that I want to feed her an all-natural/organic dog food (preferrably one that has meat or meat meal making up the first four ingredients). Right now, I like Natura EVO Small Bites, but I’m concerned with the guaranteed analysis because I don’t understand the nutrition needs of a terrier. I’m not sure if too much protein is a good thing for her, especially because she’s so malnourished. Will that help or hurt her? Feel free to suggest other holistic/organic dog food brands to compare. Currently, my mom is feeding her Chicken Soup for the Dog Lover’s Soul.

Natura EVO Small Bites
Crude Protein (min)= 42%
Crude Fat (min)= 22%
First four ingredients: Turkey, Chicken, Chicken Meal, Turkey Meal

Chicken Soup for the Dog Lover’s Soul
Crude Protein (min)= 24%
Crude Fat (min)= 14%
First four ingredients: Chicken, Turkey, Chicken Meal, Ocean Fish Meal

My mom wanted to have our puppy shot with anti-rabies vaccine early. I have read in the internet that it should be given after 16wks(4months) but some vets recommend it be given after 3 months. Which age is it better, 3 or 4 months? Are they both effective as the other?
