Which type of furniture is best for a household with dogs?

May 29th, 2010 by admin | 4 Comments | Filed in Asnwers

Currently I have fabric furniture which I have to vaccum everyday, which is something I can handle but some of the dog hair is impossible to get out. Would it be better to get microfiber furniture?

How do Cats and Dogs know which is cat food and which is dog food?

May 22nd, 2010 by admin | 8 Comments | Filed in Asnwers

I have 2 cats and three dogs. One night, I ran out of cat food (the dry type) and my cats were hungry. So since I had dog food only and the shops were closed, I gave them dog kibbles. They’re more or less of the same shape and size and are made of the same ingredients – chicken. My cats took a nibble and refused the rest of the bowl, preferring to go hungry than eat dog food. The next day, i got them a fresh pack of made-for-cats kibbles and they immediately dived in and ate up. How come my cats knew what I gave them wasn’t cat food?

I also know of dogs that won’t eat cat food for the long run (not mine though, cos they’re pigs and will eat anything).

It would be good if a pet food manufacturer can answer this question. Is there some special ingredient you put in cat and dog food that makes cats and dogs know which kibbles is who’s? Also, nowadays, dogs are eating fish too – like salmon. You can’t say it’s the ingredient. How come they know the difference?

How long will it take a dogs digestive system to settle after switching to raw?

May 19th, 2010 by admin | 5 Comments | Filed in Asnwers

We switched our dog to a raw diet on 07/29/09 about two weeks ago. He has had the runs (diarrhea) several times per day every day since. When will this stop. We started out the first week just on chicken quarters then every 3rd day served ground beef. We completely discontinued his dry kibble. Will his digestive system ever settle? When will the diarrhea stop?

Will spreading vinegar on a black marble wall prevent dogs from peeing on the wall?

May 17th, 2010 by admin | 1 Comment | Filed in Asnwers

My neighbor believes that spreading vinegar on the wall of the building will repel dogs. I have heard other attributes to vinegar but not this. There may be a chance the vinegar will destroy the shine of the marble.

What breeds do you consider good outside dogs then?

May 17th, 2010 by admin | 20 Comments | Filed in Asnwers

I just saw a question about someone getting a doberman puppy and wanting it to be an outdoor dog…..Many people said that, that breed is not a good outdoor dog, that it shoud lt should be indoors. Just wondering but what breeds then, are considered ‘good outdoor dogs?’
I know a lot of people think dogs should be kept indoors 24/7 or supervised while outside, but some breeds/dogs enjoy being outdoors more than others.

How much is an electric fence for dogs?

May 17th, 2010 by admin | 6 Comments | Filed in Asnwers

I was wondering how much it would be to install an electric fence for my dog. My yard is 3 acres, but I would not need to fence all of it. Could someone give me an estimate or tell me how much their yard cost to fence it? Thank you!
Please understand I do not mean one that will hurt the dog. Just a invisible fence type that will give a warning when the dog comes too close.

What is a good way to help my dogs stay warm while outside during the day?

May 16th, 2010 by admin | 12 Comments | Filed in Asnwers

I live in Michigan, and it’s actually unseasonally warm right now, and when it does get very cold I let my dogs stay inside while I am at work (can’t do it all the time, they love to distroy everything I own) so while I am at work (about 8 hrs a day) they are outdoors in a 10×10 covered dog kennel with 2 large, insulated dog houses. My dogs are both lab mixes, one about 45 lbs, and the other about 65 lbs. Any interesting suggestions on how to help them stay warm while I am at work during the day?
