What is the most common health reason for putting dogs to sleep?
mama woof asked:
We have been discussing this at the clinic. The most common reason owner’s dogs are euthanized in the clinic is hip dysplasia/orthopedic problems related to aging. A lot of people choose to euthanize when the dogs can’t get around to go potty or to go in and out well. What do you see in your areas?
Because there are leash laws here, we don’t see many dogs coming in hit by cars. Maybe 3-4 a year, but not a lot of them. I see orthopedic problems or age-related arthritis dogs coming in to see the vets at least 5 times a day.
Chalice mentioned aggression– There seems to be a lot more big dogs coming in from code enforcement to be euthanized lately. I think there has been a stricter crackdown on larger more dominant breeds. Just a couple of weeks ago a Rhodesian Ridgeback came in to be destroyed from code. That surprised be because the shelter could have sold him for a lot of money. But I don’t hear a lot of owners destroying animals for that, just code enforcement who won’t take a chance on putting them back on the streets.

I read about this ASPCA Health insurance for dogs and cats $6.99/m for cats, 8.99/m per dogs is it worth it?
Barbara asked:
I have a chihuahua and it protects in case of an accident, illness, routine preventative care, like dental cleanings and vaccinations and most plans cover spaying and neutering. Although I don’t take my chihuhua to the vet often should I get this insurance? what do you think?

Do English Bull dogs have many health problems?
Paige asked:
We are looking into getting a new dog. And we have our search narrowed down to 2 or 3. I’ve been doing research about all of them, but have found English bulldogs to have many health problems compared to the other breeds. Is this true?

What can anyone tell me about Corgi’s – are they good dogs? How is their health & temperment?
Emmers asked:
My parents are looking at getting a Corgi. I don’t know much about them other than they are really cute. My parents are in their early 60’s and want a low-maintance dog and a cute one. I picked out the names Murphy (if they get a boy) and Lily (if they get a girl). What do ya’ll think??

Which made me want to vomit all over my comnputer, Ive decided that when we adopt our puppy we will not be feeding him or her garbage dog foods….
I wanted to know what are healthy recipes for dogs? Do you make your own healthy foods, or go to a place that *SINCERLEY* IS healthy, not dead animals ground up and whatever other garbage they have decided to toss in
Any help would be appreciated.
Me M: Did you not go to the link or read what I said?
Yes I obviously do know about the crap IN the dog foods… this is why I am asking what kind of healthy foods to feed the dog.
Eunice Margarita, Is your dog loosing weight??? Thats not a good thing I would imagine.. =/

dogs health and housebreaking?
Daisy asked:
Is it true to cow hooves are bad for dogs’ teeth and how often do dogs need to be taken outside to “go” at 1 year of age? Only serious responses. Thanks.
I take her outside to “go” every 4 hours, now, but I am wondering if she could hold it longer at her age.
