Chihuahua
Halii questioned:


Jack, my longhaired chihuahua, chills with me sometimes, but then he gets mad at me after a while and growls.

I feed him, I take him on walks, I play with him and I know he misses me when I leave, but he still growls at me. D:
How can I bond with my doggy and get him to like me consistantly and stop growling at me?

Maltese
Princess Lieny Boo questioned:


I want to buy a maltese puppy now because as stated in my other question, my sister is allergic to the other dog so I found that the maltese is a hypoallergenic dog and I want to get a excellent deal on a purbred maltese. How much does one usually cost and also how can you find a excellent breeder?
I know that cost is not a major factor please don’t reckon that I’m cheap and just want a excellent deal. I do want a excellent dog from a excellent breeder but with all the stuff going on now, I jsut can’t afford a dog that is way overpriced you know what I mean?

Easily digestable food for my gassy beagle?

By milkbone Posted in #5 - Beagle / 8 Comments »
Chris questioned:


My beagle is SUPER gassy. She eats high quality food and is walked 3 times a day in addition to a morning and evening run. I want to switch her food to something more easily digestible but it has to be high fiber since she has issues with her anal glands. She currently eats Merrick. Wellness did not agree with her and I can’t afford raw.

How can I help my severely overweight beagle to exercise?

Beagle
physics.nerd89 questioned:


Allie, our four-year-ancient beagle, suffers from very strong seasonal allergies. She is taking a medication that helps dull the itchiness and other symptoms, but the side-effects are cruel. She has not only an increased appetite, but a slowed metabolism as well. On top of this, she is always sleeping! While we have another dog (a perfectly healthy lab), Allie does not get nearly enough exercise during her day. She has always loved lazing around, but it has really caused a huge problem now — she has difficulty getting onto her feet, waddles when she moves, and can’t really climb anything without fantastic effort.

Are we too late? We realize that we could have done a lot more, but now we dread that there are very small options for us, and time is running out. While we have restricted her diet (with care), we do not believe that this will be enough.

How can we help motivate our Allie to exercise more?
A few responses:

Treadmill thought is fascinating!
Yes, we realize that beagles have a tendency to be overweight and overeat — I’ve looked up a few websites on this.
She is indeed on steroids — are shots considerably more expensive or something?
As for toys, Allie is not a playful dog. She’s always pleased, but certainly not a playful pup. She doesn’t like playing with our dog Jackie because I reckon she’s a small worried of Jackie’s aggressiveness (which is honestly very mild — Jackie’s just the playful sort!). So, no toys.
The horrible part about walking our dear beagle — she despises it. We tried a lot over the summer to walk her (probably every day for a month), but after a few steps, she just suddenly stops and sits down! It’s going to take a lot of effort to get her to take a half-an-hour walk, but maybe we can pull it off. I’ll look into the thought.
As for the hambone thought, we tried that with bread, her favorite food (unsuccessful). And no need for a bike! She’s too slow!
Her allergies are so severe that her prednisone being decreased would probably not be a excellent choice at all. She gets incredibly itchy, and often forms scabs on her head from scratching it nearly viciously with her claws. No, I wish we could lower the dosage, but I reckon this would make her suffer even more.
Allie also happens to be a girl, for those who hadn’t figured that out already. =P

Why Does my Miniature Schnauzer bark at everything in site?

Miniature Schnauzer
leshay923 questioned:


I have the greatest Miniature Schnauzer puppy named Harley. He is really a affectionate, loving, active dog. We recently had to get him fixed because he had a testacle that had not dropped and his vet was really concerned so that was our only option. Well anyways, I leave my front and back doors open at times and he can see a car from a mile away and he will constantly bark until it is out of his site. I was wondering if anyone elses schnauzer does this? And will this behavior stop with maturity?
