i accidentally changed my dog's food about a week ago and she had an upset stomach when i did so. 3 days after that, i revereted her back to the original dog food she ate, but she still has an upset stomach. is this normal? when do you think she will be alright? should she go to the vet? do you think this is from the food change or something else? she seems healthy other than that and still likes long walks, to be played etc... i have a 4 y/o german shep which was adopted from the shelter about 7 mo ago

Amazing site for finding more information on dogs !! [link]/ I would recommend everyone to have a look at this site..It gives indepth information about everything..Poulvet.com is a pioneer portal of its kind. The portal gives lot of information for people who are interested in dogs. The portal serves by giving comprehensive information on Canines, Dairy, Poultry, and other livestock including Veterinary Medicines. It also notifies the day to day technological developments in these areas. There exists a Classifieds section which gives in-depth information of most of the companies concerned with animal husbandry world wide. Other services like trading of pets, posting of queries, exhibiting of the profiles, set the portal a multi-dimensional one. The portal takes a unique foot-step to bring together all the personnel involved in production & protection of fauna. The latest technologies developed in the field of animal husbandry will attract the attention of commercial traders, students, academicians, research scientists and all those involved in livestock and poultry production. Will give more information about other sites.. Thanks poulvet

Hi A friend of mine has recently 'inherited' a rotweiller, originally purchased by her daughter, who can no longer keep the dog. She is 9 months old, and was purchased at 6 weeks old at a cost of £300. She is a lovely and very much adored dog. My friend noticed the dog occasionally limped, and after an x-ray at the vets, it was discovered that the dog has a poor hip, which is apparently a common hereditary problem in rotweillers, an operation to fix the problem for just this hip, will cost about £450.00. It transpires that her pet insurance does not cover hereditary conditions. My friend was distraught, and contacted the breeder to ask whether the parents were 'hip-scored', and whether the dog was actually KC registered. Also the pedigree certificate for the dog, is obviously just something that has been created on a home pc. The breeder is not interested in the dogs condition, and does not want to get involved, either to give my friend guidance and support on the dogs condition, nor to at least help with the cost of the operation. My friend is furious and believes that the breeder should at least show some interest, and perhaps help with the cost of the operation. The breeders response is that its not her problem, and the cost is my friends own fault for taking out 'cheap insurance'. Are there any rules that this breeder should adhere to in this situation, or are they perfectly within their rights to not want anything to do with it? Also, do dog breeders have to be registered with a governing body? Is there anyway to find out whether this condition was present in the dog from birth? Any advice would be greatly appreciated Thanks Lisa

i just met a ShiTzu. oh. my. god. what a cute little pup. her name is Sophie, and she's 3 years old, but acts like a puppy. she had a puppy cut, which IMO, is much better looking than the show coat. anyway, i know i had said i didn't get them before. well, i get it now. what a big personality in such a tiny dog! why is it i fall in love with every single breed i meet? :-) -kelly

Hi all,Just thought I would share that we brought the little Dane home yesterday, 8 weeks old. She's a real joy. I haven't had a lot of opportunity to be around Danes in many years, so it was a lot of fun when we were taken out into the breeder's backyard and mobbed by three happy adults and six happy six-month-olds. All of them were as well-behaved and loving as any Dane I've ever met. One of the adults was this one's mother, and a more perfect temperament we could not have asked for. Our little one we are calling Saskia. She's a fawn. She is already displaying quite a number of Dane characteristics like an easygoing nature, quick learning, sleeping, and laying her muzzle gently across the nearest human body part. She still gets scared now and then, but after only 12 hours here she has adjusted phenomenally well and has settled right in. She wags at us a lot. The cat is getting used to her already, as well. Being from a good breeder, she came with a certificate of good lungs and heart, her pedigree quite a ways back showing no hip dysplasia, a bunch of food, a small wooden Great Dane, some brochures about the food the breeder recommends, a leash, and she's already microchipped. The weather is a bit nippy today... since it's not freezing or anything, I hope I can still take her out for five minutes or so when she has to pee? I guess it's about 11 C, or 51 F, out there. She's picked a spot in the kitchen, and I'd really rather she got the hang of the yard as soon as possible. The house itself is quite warm. Katrina

Ok everyone, i am aboutto give it a go. Atlas, my 7 month old Bullterrier is entered in a show in 3 weeks time, his breeder was going to take him in, but i have decided to do it.

The Purebred Adoption League is in need of volunteers to foster animals for them until they are adopted. You can find the PAL website at [link]/ and their Petfinder site at [link] Online Foster, Adoption and Volunteer applications are available. The Purebred Adoption League also has a "Foster to Adopt" program.

I'll be adopting a rescued dog soon, my first dog. Just purchased a new car with leather seats and it never occurred to me that a dog's claw's might damage the leather until I read a post somewhere that a woman purchased a new car with cloth seats just for that reason. I'll probably be getting a cocker spaniel, older, gentle (if that makes any difference). And if its true, is there anything I can do with the claws and some kind of protection to the seats that will protect them from damage? Do not email if posting response. To email, replace x with 4

He would be delighted to have people visit, and make his counter go up. No Ads. No money to be made or scam. Just a friend of mine, who loves his dog. Thanks, for helping me put a smile on his face.

Are there any good sites about Rottweilers?

My wife and I are looking a smaller breed that does well living indoors, doesn't shed a lot, is fairly even-tempered, and will enjoy going on daily walks with me. I should admit that a main reason for getting a dog now is that my physician said I have to increase my daily walking and having a dog along would increase the enjoyment. Thanks for any advice.

where can I find a toy munchkin?

Hoping someone out there can help me to identify the breed mix for my new adopted little doggie. His name is Scooter and he is somewhere between 1 and 2 years old as best we know. He weighs 11.5 pounds, is extremely bright and alert. Rarely barks and is very friendly. I have placed some pics on my company web site. Thanks to all who took the time to look and respond! George

I am looking for a male Irish Terrier. I have made initial email contact with several breeders but none seem to be in my geographic area. ( My family and I live in Cleveland, OH ) My neighbor had an IT when I was growing up and it was a wonderful dog. I have an 8 and 11 year old and they are ready to handle some of the responsibilities of caring for the dog. Any information would be welcome, feel free to email me at (Email Removed). Thanks, D
