6 weeks is the very earliest a puppy should ever be removed from its mother and litter. Make sure it spends time with other well cared for dogs. Parvo and other diseases are deadly at that age shots or no shots. If the breeder wasn't feeding a dry chow, make a gradual change to one … Read more

Most public water systems now require a back flow preventer. If you have one (it could be at the water meter), you must have an expansion tank to keep water from discharging through the valve. Often once water is discharged, the valve gets crud on the seat and must be replaced.

If the dog never did eat very well, and has seen the vet since the problem existed, you may be over feeding it. A vet check still won't hurt. Many dogs will snarf down more than is good for them and look for more. Others refuse to eat more than than they need. Evaluate the … Read more

There are several types of worms. Best thing is to take the dog and a stool sample to the vet. The vet can then give the dog whatever safe and effective remedy it needs for the type of worms it may have.

If you care about the safety of your dog, don't risk untested herbal products. The safest thing to do is to take a stool sample to the vet , and let the vet provide a safe, effective remedy for the type of worms if any your dogs has.

While the above answers might function, there is far more to doing the job right and meeting code. Likely you don't have to have a permit and inspection, but if you ever sell the house, you will have to pay to correct any code violations. If any directions came with it, follow them exactly. If … Read more

More likely it is a rash and needs antibiotics from the vet.

140 f is a good compromise for household use. 120F is the maximiun for hand washing, and 170f is required for commercial hand dishwashing.

See the vet, the puppy could be sick. And no, the lactose in milk isn't good for puppies. If you have to add something try a low salt chicken or beef broth.

I agree that if the breeder is willing to sell the puppy at 5 weeks, run, don't walk away.  Now it could be OK if you are selecting a puppy to take home after it is 7-8 weeks old. Even then, many of the Maltipoos and other ''designer'' mixes are a racket ripping people off with … Read more

You puppy needs to see a vet. The symptoms of parvo are diarrhea and lethargy. Likely your dog has something else and not drinking is a serious thing. A young puppy is unlikely to survive parvo unless prompt put on IV. I have seen reports of home cures, but very seldom.

Children can handle puppies as soon as they are cleaned up after being born. If fact, being cuddled helps warm them. Make sure they don't drop them. For smaller children, make them sit dog and place the puppy in their lap.

Something doesn't sound right. While it is common to have more than one of a color, there should the same number of each color. If all 3 blacks were connected to the brass terminal of the outlet, you could add a short length of black wire and connect it and 2-3 of the original ones … Read more

Next time you are at the vets, have him check her anal glands. Emptying them may reduce the sniffing. The charcoal may or may not help, but is worth trying. You could also try a different food. Not the premium or additive free stuff some would suggest, just something with different ingredients. Rescheduling her feeding … Read more

I agree with a vet visit. I want to add, dogs are quite sensitive to their owners' mental state. I have seen cases of people worrying their dog sick. If you are fighting depression, it will affect your dog.

Yes there is a big difference in some surge protectors. Most work by using varistors to short out higher voltage. The cheapest ones only have one across the hot and neutral. Better ones have 3 adding ones between the hot and neutral and ground. Varistors also vary on how much of a jolt they can … Read more

Consistently is very important in correcting jumping and other problems. Quickly correcting him each and every time he jumps on somebody is very important. He must never get the affection he wants. A number of things have been used. One of the most gentle is to grab his front paws and hold him up. No … Read more

A few more details might help. Did you just get the dog? Exercise stimulates elimination. Take him out and walk, walk, walk. They can only walk and hold it so long. When nature finally has its way, lavish praise on him. I frequently use that technique before taking a puppy in a public place.
