What brand of dog bed is the best?




I want to get my dog a therapeutic bed since he is getting old and has a bad back. Any links or websites where I can check it out? Also I need one that doesn’t cost oodles of money.

I just found a stray cat and she is in DESPERATE NEED of a cut. She sheds as she walks. If u pet her, clumps of hair will come into your hand just from one light pet. She needs to be shaved immediately but I know that a lot of groomers don’t take cats until they receive proof of shots. I’m on a very low budget and don’t have the money to get this adult cat vaccinated just yet but I will get to it. But right now I HAVE to get her shaved. Is there anywhere I can take her to get her hair cut short?

I have been trying to find a job on and off for the last couple of years without much success as well as trying to hustle by walking dogs, cleaning apartments, etc. My family who has been worried that they would have to give my mom and I some money are now doing that and are angry as a result. When I tried to tell them that the job market is tight and I have been trying to find a job, they treat me as a liar. The last time that I was unemployed, they pressured me into finding a job, which I did , and was so angry at them that I took it out on employees at the job and was subsequently fired. I now have an injury to my leg in which I can’t put it down completely and I wonder should I try to go on job interviews and I’ve no health insurance. I am in my mid 30′s and I am tired of being treated like a baby or having to account for every job move to the family? I am feeling more suicidal by the day and I don’t want to go to another job and going off and getting fired again. Help!!!!!

Do I need a dog license going to the clinic?




I wanted to take my dog to take her shots because now I have the money to. I’m not sure how much it had cost, but I just raised a ton of money for her. Anyway, do I need a dog license to take her into the clinic for her shots? And how many shots does she need? She’s about a year old..

My friends had this cat but wasn’t able to care for it anymore so she gave him to me. I already had two cats and couldn’t take on a third at the time so I gave the cat to a nice man I met off craigslist. He said Falcor (the cat) was doing great and loved his house. Sadly 2-4 weeks after this the man messaged me and told me that Falcor had died of Feline Leukemia and that the vet had tried to save him but it was to late and Falcor gave up his will to live. I have a 3 yrs old cat named Shadow and a 10 yr old cat named Diamonds. Within the past couple of months Shadows weight had been going up and down and he is even going to the bathroom in my room a little bit (he is litter box trained). It is not like him to do that…Diamonds doesn’t seem to have any symptoms of it, but I am still worried for both. I do not have the money to pay a vet rate now but will some vets do it for free and then I can pay them back within a certain amount of time? I will pay them back when I get a job (as I am only 16). For those who have heard about Riverside Animals Clinic in Lisbon Falls Maine USA do you know if they will do it. And if someone can give me all the info they know about this disease it would be very helpful. Thank you!

help with feline leukemia?




I’m really worried that my cat is susceptible to feline leukemia as my brothers cat, Domino, has just died from it 2 days ago. this is my first cat so i didn’t know much but i found out its contagious! my cat use to share the same bowl to eat and drink out of and even the same litter box. He doesn’t have his shots yet either, I plan to take him to finally get vaccinated on the 21st, but im afraid im too late. when i got home after Domino passed away i did my research and found it was contagious so i cleaned the bowls, changed the litter box and cleaned it, and even took him a shower. My cat sleeps all over the house though but i read the virus dies in a couple hours. I need help and I’m scared, do you think he has felv and if he does and its at early stage, is it curable? I dont have money to get him the test so is there also a way i can check if he does have it this early? any help will be fine, thank you.

I also plan to get him more food that will make his immune system stronger as i heard felv targets the immune system? should I?

I am 14 and have my own dog, a shit zu, and I do I great job on her fur every time! people r always comenting on her looks. She’s very beautiful. That when I got the idea to open my own dog grooming buisness. I have worked on several different dogs before and I’m very good at taking care of each one properly. I have a large country house with a larg figure 8 driveway so I have plenty of room. All I was wondering was if I need some kind of license or schooling to do that. And I was also wondering if anyone knew what I could do to get some starter money.

My dog has been having A LOT of bad health problems lately, but my mom won’t take him to the vet because she is a bad word. His eye has a very large stye like thing on his eyelid, and his eye is bleeding. He also has been having a really bad skin problem. My mom is going to be out of town for a few weeks and I want to take my dog to the vet, but I don’t know where the insurance info for him is. I was planning on trying to pay for it by myself, but I don’t know if I have enough money. What should I do? Any help would be awesome. <3
Please and thank you!

Rabbit Vaccinations..?




Ok I’m trying to get my parents to let me get a rabbit. But they’re dead set against it.
I’m doing my homework on them, to see how to look after them and all the costs so I can go back to them with all the information to try and change their minds.

If they change their minds, I plan on saving up and getting the money together myself so I can pay for the rabbit, cage etc.

I live in Scotland, and I was wondering if anyone knew how much the vaccinations generally cost? And how much does it generally cost to get them neutered?(Preferably a male as I hear male rabbits make better pets)

If I was to get one, the rabbit would probably be indoors.

Thanks I appreciate any answers.

Should I test them for feline leukemia or not?




I have two cats that are both like my babies. I found them in my neighborhood where there are a ton of cats about three months ago. They are in perfect condition. They play a LOT, eat normally and everything else. They are both 6 month old brothers. I got them neutered a week or two ago. They are both strictly indoors now and never go outside. What’s the point of testing them for leukemia? I got them vaccinated for it already and they have their rabies vaccination too even though they will never ever go outside.

I mean seriously, what’s the point? If I do find out i will be miserable and depressed until they die and never truly be happy even when they’re by my side cuz I’ll know it’s coming to an end. At least now I don’t think about it that much. I feed them both EVO and Wellness so it’s not like it’s bad food. I treat them very well. I even think their mom is alive so if she did pass it on to them then she’d be dead, but she’s not.

I have money to get one tested tomorrow. Only one brother. That means if that one has it then this one has it too because they’re very close and have been together their whole life. Now I’m hoping they don’t have it. Their are plenty of feral and stray cats in my neighborhood that would all die off and not be as healthy if they did have the virus.
Actually I don’t think I KNOW their mom is alive.
Yes OF COURSE I am never letting any other cat close to them…they haven’t been tested yet, I know that.

Pet Insurance – Worth It?




I will be adopting a 1 year old cat sometime soon, and I want to make sure that I can do my best to take care of her. This raised the question of pet insurance and the costs, compared to a direct pay to the vet in any case she gets sick. I know it all depends on the illness, but I heard that in most cases where the (inside) cat is well cared for, you can save a lot of money by NOT having pet insurance. Any advice on whether or not I should get insurance?? Thank you!!

Do you need a license to train basic dog obedience skills in Utah? I’m 14 and I love, i mean I absolutely LOVE, to work with dogs and train them.
Thing is, I want to earn money to adopt this dog, she herself is free but my parents don’t have the money but say if they did we would take her in. I need a way to earn money and dog training popped into my head at once.
The only problem is:
Do I need a license to teach basic dog obedience?
If so how do I get one?
If not, do you have any business names?
I need something along the lines of… Well anything that goes with training dogs. I want it to be some thing that will catch their eyes though, not just "anna’s dog obedience classes…"
I’m going to do one on one training with the dog also, so…
If you think I should not do this or I am legally, to young to achieve this, what else could I do?
I can’t walk dogs because everyone around here just lets their dogs roam loose anyways so it would make no difference.
THANK YOU =)

My cat may have feline leukemia?




My cat has been acting a little strange so we took him to the vet and he said that he is depressed and dehydrated. and he said he wanted to get him tested for leukemia. all the testing and blood work will be more than 0. we dont have that money. my question is if we get him tested and it turn up positive, what kind of action would we take to treat it? is that expensive as well? what are the chances of him living if he is diagnosed with leukemia? we did have him vaccinated when he was a kitten (2-3 years ago). any info is graciously appreciated.
