Is it only about people's safety since dogs can bite, or they have less chances to remember the way home?http://mysmelly.com/Archive/WhatDoesBarfDietMean/cldbm/post.htmWed, 24 Oct 2012 10:14:08 GMThttp://mysmelly.com/Archive/WhatDoesBarfDietMean/cldbm/post.htmAnonymoushttp://mysmelly.com/Archive/WhatDoesBarfDietMean/cldbm/post.htmWhat does "BARF" stand for in the "BARF diet"?http://mysmelly.com/Archive/FrontlinePlusSpotDifference/cldkl/post.htmTue, 30 Oct 2012 08:36:28 GMThttp://mysmelly.com/Archive/FrontlinePlusSpotDifference/cldkl/post.htmAnonymoushttp://mysmelly.com/Archive/FrontlinePlusSpotDifference/cldkl/post.htmWhat's the difference between these two?http://mysmelly.com/Archive/AdviceNeeded/cldwr/post.htmMon, 29 Oct 2012 05:14:22 GMThttp://mysmelly.com/Archive/AdviceNeeded/cldwr/post.htmAnonymoushttp://mysmelly.com/Archive/AdviceNeeded/cldwr/post.htmHello! I am wondering if anyone has some advice about a couple of my furry critters that are now having a ton of "accidents" in the house all of a sudden. Nothing has changed in their lives and they are let out very regularly. I have two dogs and two cats and they seem to favor one location. They range in age from 2 1/2 years - 11 years and have all lived together for almost a year. None have ever had any of these problems before so I am at a complete loss! I have no idea why they are all of a sudden using the carpet as their bathroom or how to stop it. Any help is appreciated!http://mysmelly.com/Archive/CatLovesBeardedDragon/ckwwz/post.htmFri, 23 Nov 2012 12:24:35 GMThttp://mysmelly.com/Archive/CatLovesBeardedDragon/ckwwz/post.htmRuslanahttp://mysmelly.com/Archive/CatLovesBeardedDragon/ckwwz/post.htmLove is in the air...http://mysmelly.com/Archive/HowGoodIsEukanuba/clrmc/post.htmSat, 15 Sep 2012 17:45:13 GMThttp://mysmelly.com/Archive/HowGoodIsEukanuba/clrmc/post.htmAnonymoushttp://mysmelly.com/Archive/HowGoodIsEukanuba/clrmc/post.htmIs Eukanuba high quality pet food?

The other day I've been thinking about vaccinations. Nola doesn't have any because she's indoors but someone told me it's a big mistake. What I'm wondering about, is there any statistics about 1) how often vaccinated pets suffer from adverse effects? 2) how often vaccinated pets suffer from the diseases they've been vaccinated against? 3) how often non vaccinated pets suffer from the same diseases? I tried to search but found nothing. If you have anything to tell about these questions or if you ever manage to find the mentioned stats please let me know! I'd love to have that information because statistics says much better than anything else! Thanks in advance!http://mysmelly.com/Archive/YourThoughtsAboutUsingSprayBottle-CorrectBehavior/ckqkx/post.htmTue, 04 Sep 2012 09:50:32 GMThttp://mysmelly.com/Archive/YourThoughtsAboutUsingSprayBottle-CorrectBehavior/ckqkx/post.htmAnonymoushttp://mysmelly.com/Archive/YourThoughtsAboutUsingSprayBottle-CorrectBehavior/ckqkx/post.htmWhat do you guys think, is it cruel or not?

We don't want cats or dogs, but we'd like to have our daughter learn about the responsibilities of caring for a small animal. We are fully aware that WE will be taking care of this pet, we want it too. But it will be in her room. Hamsters bite am I right? Anything small and cute and fluffy that does NOT bite?

Long story short, my (now ex) boyfriend of 5 years and I broke up last month. We had bought a dog together last year, a sweet little black and tan coonhound who is the love of my life. I did everything with the dog when my ex would not: feed him, walk him, train him, play with him, give him his medicine, clean the yard, everything! The problem now is my boyfriend is being extremely spiteful and will not let me see the dog. He lives with his father so I have gone over when he is working, and his father (who says he still considers me like a daughter) will let me take the dog for a few hours. I have been spending about two hours a week (not even every week) with the dog, taking him to the park, etc. However, we just had this...http://mysmelly.com/Archive/PetsAndPregnancy/ckwmr/post.htmThu, 23 Aug 2012 12:24:35 GMThttp://mysmelly.com/Archive/PetsAndPregnancy/ckwmr/post.htmAnonymoushttp://mysmelly.com/Archive/PetsAndPregnancy/ckwmr/post.htmHello all, Many times I've heard that pregnant women should stay away from pets and if they have them, it's better to find them a new home for the 9 months or even more. That's because of a risk to catch toxoplasmosis. I think it's very inhumane to get rid of family members like that, but on the other hand it's clear that the baby's health must be the priority. Several weeks ago I found out I'm pregnant. I have a 12 year old cat, and I really don't want to part with him. But I'm a little worried in view of everything I've read. Is the risk really high? Do you have experience of being pregnant and staying with your pet? Please I need some encouraging words, I don't believe every single woman gets rid of her pets when she's pregnant!

So we often can hear about 'cat people' and 'dog people' but what do you think is the main difference between them? Apparently there are people that keep and love both cats and dogs so my questions is primarily about those who clearly favors just cats or just dogs. I'd like to hear your opinions!http://mysmelly.com/Archive/DepressedCatsAndDogs/ckgmn/post.htmSun, 23 Sep 2012 12:24:35 GMThttp://mysmelly.com/Archive/DepressedCatsAndDogs/ckgmn/post.htmAnonymoushttp://mysmelly.com/Archive/DepressedCatsAndDogs/ckgmn/post.htmCan cats and dogs get depressed? I don't mean being temporary sad, I mean real depression as a long term condition that cannot just pass.
