Thanks for the article in vetcentric.com. It was very interesting and certainly addresses the sensitivity problem I was aiming at. Maybe we could all, in our own areas, work to minimize the use of ...

Poor little guy. :( I wonder if telling those shops that PetSmart does not sell animals, but offers space to shelters for their animals to be adopted and that PetSmart is a huge chain and very...

I appreciate everyone's input on this subject! I also appreciate no-kill shelters. They have terrible funding and space problems, too, and are doing wonderful work.

I was just hoping we could come...

I have the greatest admiration for shelters and humane societies who are able to provide so-called 'no-kill' facilities. Since I work with our city animal shelter, staffed by major animal lovers, the...

Super news! As an animal shelter volunteer, I worked with the city government on a grant from PetSmart Charities for a spay/neuter surgery rebate and educational program. And, we got it! PetSmart...

My vet has told me that flouride can be toxic to dogs. So I would definitely ask your vet about it. I use a doggie toothpaste made for dogs that has no flouride.

I'm going through housetraining right now too. I've housetrained five dogs and each one was different in what worked for them and in how long it took. One of the biggest keys is extreme praise when...

I read in the AKC gazette that classical music is effective in reducing anxiety and helping keep animals calm. There is also a new product on the market that plugs in like an air freshener. I'm sorry...

There's a great one called Dogs in the News. Here's the address:

Oh, what a cutie! 3.5 pounds of cuteness and love! Congratulations on being DOTD!

Thank you again for all your messages. It means so much. I do believe I'll see my guys again. In the meantime, they're playing and having a good time where disease and age cannot reach them.

Thanks so much for your kind messages. It really helps. I know he's happy again now and playing with his big brother. One day we'll be together again and that will be happy.

Just wanted to say that I lost Winston yesterday. The tumor in his throat was nearly blocking his trachea completely so I didn't really have a choice but have him put down. All three vets agreed it...

I've fed my dogs Science Diet for about 20 years. My husky lived to be 12, my beagle is chugging right along toward 16, and my other dogs love it. They maintain overall great health and I rarely have...

Well, turns out my guy has a malignant tumor on his larynx. It's very rare. Treatment options include removing the larynx and the tumor, chemotherapy, and radiation therapy. I've decided that, at his...

What a great dog! It's a joy to see the power of LOVE! :D

Thank you all so much for your good wishes. Win seems to be much better already just being on antibiotics. :) His gagging has virtually stopped. I hope it will be that easy to cure him with just...

I found out what's wrong with Winston. He has an ulcerated lump growing on his larynx. That's what's been bleeding. At least he's getting treatment now. My first vet basically ignored me for six...

He's coughing and gagging and has had laryngitis for several weeks. He's very unhappy. :(

Thank you for your suggestions! I'm trying a little honey and that seems to be helping a bit, too. Thank you! :)
