Try putting Avon skin so soft bath oil on your hands and lightly brush it over the dogs fur.
Cat Scratching Neck Raw?
I really dont feel that Lizzyanny was being judgemental in any way. She was simply trying to stress how important it was to see a vet because of all that was going on and the many things that could be causing the scratching. So many pet owners would not have...
Is A/C Condensation Water Safe for a Dog to Drink?
Your dog definitely should not be drinking this water. It is carrying pollutants from the pipes and system to be combined with the bacteria that forms in the container that is catching the water. Then the dogs saliva only adds contamination to the water. This...
Hutch (Husky/Wolf Mix)
Thanks for sharing your wonderful story. I think what you have done is amazing. I hope that Hutchs owner realizes how lucky he is to have you as a neighbor and what a special dog he has had all along if only he would have invested some love, compassion and...

Great story and happy ending! So glad she is back with you where she is really loved and safe.
Eleven Month Old House Trained Puppy Peeing in Her Sleep?
My dog did the same thing as a young dog after being spayed. She was put on Pro-In which took care of the problem for several years. Then it began again and the vet added DES capsules, 2 each week, which she has taken for years and no recurrence of the problem...
Rugs on Smooth Floors for Dogs
This is a great idea. It helped our aging dogs when we put in tile. They really need the help for traction. Also if they tend to jump up on furniture they need the traction so place a non-slip run in front of the sofa or chair and it is just as important when...
Home Remedies for Dog With Chronic Ear Infection?
My Westie had a chronic ear itch that the vet said was a yeast infection but didnt seem concerned about it. She was really bothered with it so he said to clean it out with white vinegar and water droplets but that didnt seem to work. Then I read on this website...
Feeding Your Dog Leftovers
Just be sure that your liquid does not have onion or garlic cooked into it. They can be very upsetting to your dogs digestive tract and can cause even worse problems. Otherwise, good idea.
Delilah and Scarlett (German Shepherds)
They are beautiful dogs. You are so lucky to have Delilah for so many years. What a great story!
Treating a Dog With Urinary Incontinence?
You may have already tried these since you have been to the vet but my dog was on Proin for many years and it worked. Then the problem began again so she was also put on DES and that has worked wonderfully!! It requires a Rx but I get it through the mail with...
House Training a Puppy?
There is a lot of good feedback here from Brenneman and Lorelei. It takes a long time to train a puppy and it requires patience and love, consistency and the same terminology, whatever you decide to say. Crate training is really wonderful because the dog is...
Housebreaking an Abused Dog?
I agree it may be a medical problem that would be easy to fix with just a pill once or twice a week. My dog has had leaky bladder syndrome for 11 years and used to wet on our bed. The pill (DES) took care of it immediately. Maybe having the pups affected her...
Sophie (Yorkshire Terrier)
I am also shocked that a 5 wk. puppy would be removed from the mother. I would question that you are dealing with a reputable breeder. I know you have gotten attached to the pup by now and please be very careful with her but also be very wary of that breeder...
My Dog Has Bad Breath?
He should be seen by a vet because he may have infected gums. In the meantime, start brushing his teeth every day. If he doesnt like it at first, put a small amount of doggie toothpaste on the brush and have him lick it and then try to get just a few teeth...
How Much Should I Feed My Dog?
It depends on the maturity but if she is full grown, we feed our Westie 1/4 cup dry food in the morning and 1/2 cup dry food for supper. She gets a biscuit in the morning on her walk and one in the evening as well. She gets a half mile walk twice a day and...
Homemade Diaper for Injured Dog?
Possibly an old sheet cut into adequate rectangles would give you what you need but more importantly please do not put her through misery just to keep her alive for you. If she has no qualilty of life, it isnt fair to her to keep her alive and suffering just...
What Breed is My Dog?
To Bree, I think definitely a strong resemblance to German Shepherd. Very cute dog. I think hell be beautiful when he is full grown. Good luck!
Best Cleaner for Dog Urine Odor?
I dont have a remedy for the smell but a 4 yr. old dog should not be wetting like that. Our terrier had leaky bladder syndrome and the vet put her on Proin which is a hormone and it took care of it for about 7 yrs. and when it began again we added DES which...
Advice For Aggressive Older Dog?
It is a difficult situation. I believe your lab is getting more frustrated with the presence of the Husky and being less tolerant. It may be that he is in some kind of discomfort, i.e., arthritis, that is making him grumpier. I would have him checked out by...
Keeping an Outside Dog Warm?
A rat terrier is not an outside dog for a cold climate. It is a short haired dog that needs protection from the elements and should be brought inside. Please dont leave the dog outside for any length of time.
Adopt A Pet Using Craigslist
A lot of what you say is true. But I have a problem with people who give away their pets on Craigslist. In working with Pet Pardons, Ive come to realize that those looking for bait dogs for dog fighting rings will look on Craigslist and appear to want to provide...
Make Envelopes From Magazines
I love your idea and am anxious to try it. If you could share your websites where the templates are, that would be great. Also, could you answer the concern about using dark colors, such as your beautiful example, with regard to the stamp and post office cancellation...
Clean Kitchen After Cooking
I end up using every bit of counter space when I am cooking and it used to seem overwhelming to me as to where to start the clean-up. Then I was watching Golden Girls and Rose said, to clean up, you always start at one spot and rotate around the room until...
Avoid Dental Surgery For Your Pet
Our 14 y.o. Westie has had her teeth brushed since she was a puppy. Her teeth and gums looked to be in excellent condition and she developed dog breath too and when she was under anesthesia for eye surgery we discovered that 2 teeth in the very back of her...
Breed Information: West Highland White Terrier
This breed is great. Weve had 4 over 35 years. Easy to train, very smart, strong willed but they are like a large dog in a small body. As far as small children go, if they are raised around small children they are fine. It is when they arent used to the quick...
