I find it amazing that dogs can be so therapeutic to a person in need. How has having a dog improved your quality of life?

Well I got into a car accident back in may 2007 .. I couldn’t do much .. I couldn’t drive .. I couldn’t stand for more then 2 mins w.o crying from the pain… and i couldn’t even walk all that good.. My Fiance worked long hours at the time and thought that i need something to give me that push … One day he surprised me with my baby girl ( pug pup ) after work .. and since then I can stand w.o pain .. I can walk as well as i could before my accident .. and i can drive again…

I forced myself to get out of my depressed days of wanting to stay in bed … and took my new little girl for a walk .. at first it was hard .. and now i have worked up the want to get a job .. and get out of my house .. i didn’t leave my yard for 5 months .. I work every day and I’m happier then ever and I have my little girl to thank for this ..

she is in pain, shaking, and crying.

Okay, listen when a dog does this you need a vet imediately, nomatter what. if you don’t have the money most vets will work out payment arangements. Nomatter where you are there will be a 24 hour pet hospital, so there’s no reason not to take her.
Please, hurry, she may or may not have time.

I have proof that her rabies and other shots are up to date, but my vet charges $45 additional for a "Health Certificate" that she has examined the dog recentlly and the dog is in good health. I would like to avoid the extra expense of the Health Certificate if it is not really necessary. We are driving from Maine into Quebec City by rental car. Thanks

You need a rabies certificate from your veterinarian.

From the Canadian Food Inspection Agency:
"Domestic or pet dogs may enter Canada if accompanied by an original valid rabies vaccination certificate, which is issued by a licensed veterinarian(2), in either English or French and which clearly identifies the dogs and states that they are currently vaccinated against rabies. This certificate should identify the animal as in breed, colour, weight, etc., and indicate the name of the licensed rabies vaccine used (trade name), including serial number and duration of validity (up to three years). Please note that if the duration of validity is not indicated on the certificate, the vaccine will be considered to be valid for one year."

Is dog urine harmful to your health when it is in large quantities and for extended periods of time? My boyfriend’s roommate has a really old dog that never gets let outside (ever!). It goes in the basement and even though he picks up the poop he never cleans up the urine it just soaks into the floors. They live in a small basement and it always has a very strong ammonia smell. Is it possible that this could be effecting our health?

Some people into organic food swear by old dog urine in the basement. The natural aroma will permeate the house and kitchen making dinner and family time more like the old days. Don’t complain….count your blessings. God Bless.

I am not breeding an dogs but I’m just curiouse what would you want tested. I am actually looking into a Bouvier des Flanders breeder so if anyone has experiance with this breed in particular. I also know I want the parents to have been shown in some type of event.

At the very least I would want the breeder to test hips & eyes. If you click the links above, they’ll bring you to the breed club and the breeder referral list.

Best of luck and good on you for wanting to responsibly obtain a pet!

Dogs can injure themselves just as easily as humans, it’s important to have a first aid kit with all the necessary tools in case your dog ever needs emergency attention. Learn how to build one in this free video.
