umm yea i have two kittens and they are about 2-3months now i think....is it normal for them to eat a lot? I mean a lot a lot? I would buy them a 12pack and they would finish it in 2-3days...last time i bought a 24 pack and that didnt even last a week. so is it normal?

Kittens tend to have a pretty healthy appetite and it's probably a growth spurt they're going through now since they're still quite young. Eating four times or more a day is normal, but of course don't start giving them huge amounts every feed. They should always have fresh water, and do make sure what you're feeding them is suitable for their age as they're still only babies and require a diet different from adult cats. Check with your veterinarian if you're unsure what's best for them.

my dad cut my maltase puppy's facial hair
like the whiskers and the hair around its mouth!! like really really short too!!

and my puppy looks soo ugly and scary-looking right now!! and i was wondering....

WHEN WILL IT GROW BACK?? WILL IT GROW BACK?? HOW LONG DO I HAVE TO WAIT??
yes i'm very worried. and need info please!
i want my puppy cute again...

those whiskers (vibrissae) will grow back, there's no need to worry about them. they're basically like normal hairs, just a bit more sensitive (though i think their sensitivity is lower in dogs compared to cats)..

[aznscrewball]

I always end up cutting the whiskers off when I trim my neighbour's dog's hair. How the heck are you supposed to maneuver around the whiskers when you have an unhappy wiggling dog to deal with? No wonder she always looks at me like I am the devil when I finish.

[kfosho]

thank you for everyone who gave me info on my maltase facial hair question (:
i'm very relieved.

ahah but i'm used to her short hair now (:

my dog was put to sleep today. she was only a little more than 5 months old.
2 weeks ago, she started having problem with her hind legs, stop eating her main food, drank less water, and it got worse and worse...she could hardly breath today. the blood result came out today and the doctor said she doesnt have any diseases and the x-ray showed her bones were fine, it was concluded that she has neurological problems that cant be cured.

i can't stop crying and staring at her empty house. i miss her already.

What do you do about finicky dogs? I have both a yorkie and maltese and lately they have been eating less.
Usually both would eat like a cup each, now its down to half a cup if we're lucky.
We tried so many ways to get them to eat, they were fine with us tossing the food at them until they got tired of that.
Lastweek my bf's mom thought of a new way to feed them, she mixed the normal dry food with the chicken in can and they ate that for a while,
now they're back to not eating. We had to even fed them with a spoon cause they didn't want to get dirty.
We tried switching brands as well but they refused to eat after a week.
I suggested to just them be they'll eat when they get hungry but my bf's mom loves them too much to let them starve so if they don't eat, she tries again like
in three hours or w.e

So are there any other ways to get them to eat?

I want a shih tzu
Do u guys recommend a shihtzu for a
first time dog owner???

[GOOMBA]

What comes to my head when you say dogs that stay small are the chihuahuas! The ones someone like Paris Hilton carries in a purse. These little fellows are cute, small, but can get annoying... don't they have this squeaky-like bark?

haha, actually, you can train it not to bark. it's not THAT annoying. i have a chihuahua at home and he's so quiet. barely noticable <3

0oyokisuo0: i'm so sorry to hear. rip

I need help finding a way to purchase a puppy! ><
I live in San Francisco, and adoption is a no-go.
I was wondering how anyone else from the Bay purchased their puppies?
I'm looking for a Shiba Inu or Yorkie, or Pomeranian.
Thanks for any help!

- this is my dog = Hiro.

Well i wondering does anyone know any good dog foods where my dog won't throw up? We've been feeding him Puppy Chow and Dog Chow but so suddenly my mom bought some O'Riley dog food. where we're supposed to mix it with hot water so it'll turn into gravy and meat. But when i do put water in it, he doesn't seem to eat it at all. & when i don't put water he eats it just fine. But today i discovered that he threw it all up in the garage. ): . and for the past couple days he hasn't been eating at all. we try to feed him but he won't budge. unless we just put food in his bowl and he just eats it later. but he never finishes it and we end up throwing it away.

sorry this has nothign to do with yu question but yur dog is soo cute!
may i ask wat breed is it?

[ladee_bug]

To dog owners, I have a little question.

How long did it take you to get used to the new routine with daily walks, cleaning, feeding, etc?
How about picking up what your dog left when you go out for walks? (wastes, bathroom stops)

My sister and I are getting a black mouth cur dog, and it's a pretty big dog so it'll need lots of exercise which means daily walks.
I'm a little bothered about picking up my dog's wastes though =( Never done it before since I'm used to going to parks and running along trails that don't oblige you to pick up what your dog left behind.

Any tips? lol

[aznscrewball]

You should always pick up your dog's poop. Even those trails that don't require you to. Its just courteous to the other people there. No one wants to step on dog poop do they? Uhm, in the beginning I kept gagging when I picked up my dog's stuff, but after a while its just routine. Big dogs' dumps are more hard to pick up because they are so big. I have to use both hands to scoop them up because my hands are small. Grooming a black mouth cur is easy because they have short hair. You don't have to groom them everyday. When you give them baths, you can just hose him down in the backyard or something and shampoo, nothing too hard.

It's easy to pick up dog poo! lol
Just bring plastic & use that to pick up the poo.

He could take him to the vet. I heard those breed of dogs are prone to respitory problems cuz of their saggy skin. U can research it more on the internet.
I have a large breed puppy, they're prone to joint problems so we have to be carelful of her weight
