What Would You Do If Your Pet Ran Away

What Would You Do If Your Pet Ran Away


1. Why Pets Run Away and Where They Often Go
Normally, pets run away from acute boredom or loneliness, to answer sexual urges if they have not been neutered, in response to sudden and unexpected events that frighten them, out of curiosity if doors, windows or gates are left open, or if they are new to a home and are looking for their former surroundings.
How far they run is just a function of how far their legs will carry them. Big strong dogs, especially young ones, can run 5 miles or more. Small dogs may be able to go half a mile at most. Most dogs are recovered well within a two-mile circle of their home, especially because they normally will never run for an extended length in a straight line no matter how strong or fast they are.
If it is an outgoing dog, it will be looking for other dogs and for other humans who are friendly and likely to comfort, feed and shelter it. Neighbors’ yards and public parks are spots it will like. If it is a shy or older pet and not trusting of strangers, it will hide. Bushes and under cars are good spots.
Most likely, your pet will have tried to return home, but it will have failed. In a certain minority of cases, the dog has been in harm’s way. A car or a predator will have gotten to it. Odds are much greater that someone has seen your pet and taken it in.
Let me explain that some 40% of households have pets. People in those homes will respond favorably to a lost pet. More households do not have a pet but include someone who previously had a pet. Strong chance of positive response. More households again do not have a pet but have children, who will be eager to take in a lost pet. That is a lot of eyes and ears. That is a lot of strangers who are on the side of finding and helping your pet return home.
In many cases, someone will take in your pet. They will be driving by and have your dog jump in their car. They will be working in the neighborhood. They may live down the street. More often than not, they will not be equipped to house your pet. Their home is not set up. Their parents will not allow it. They don’t want to bring a strange dog into the yard with their dogs.
If you have a tag on your dog with a current phone number including area code, that has a working answering machine or voice mail on it, or a street address including city and state, and if your dog is found with its collar and tag still on it, then you have made the job of your pet coming back to you much easier. More current information, less work.
Maybe the collar has come loose. Maybe someone with good intentions has changed it. Sometimes they have placed the dog in their yard. Still confused and looking for home, the dog has run away again. Again, the pet has moved further away and lost more of its identity to you, to your house, to your street.
People take lost pets to local veterinarians, animal hospitals, kennels, groomers, even pet stores. They take them to animal shelters (which are sometimes distant and have restricted operating hours) and to rescue organizations. If found with a tag with current information, it makes the return to you straight forward. If found without the tag, unless the dog is taken to the local shelter at which you have registered it as missing, it is just a puzzle that will get solved when there is time and opportunity to try and solve it.
Sometimes, and only rarely, do people try to keep a pet that is not theirs. There are neighbors, friends, children, and all the people who come to a home to service its needs that have the opportunity to see that pet. That is a lot of eyes seeing a new pet arrive.
We live in a mobile society. Few places any more are distant from major roads. If a dog is found that has gotten away from a car, it can be in another car and in the next county within less than a hour in almost all instances.
How do you cover all these possibilities? How do you help put the odds back into your favor?

Are Dogs Easier To Train ?

Are Dogs Easier To Train ?


Dogs are eager to please us, so want to be trained to do well by their master. My cat will do tricks, when she wants to. She is independent. Its not that she doesn't care whether she pleases me or not, she will definitely try to if it fits in with her busy schedule.

Don't get me wrong, I realize cats can technically be trained. But even cat lovers have to admit that it's not as easy to train a cat to respond to cues and perform littletricks. Cats tend to do what they want when they want it. Even food motivated cats will get sick of training sessions and walk away (or just smack the food out of your hand and eat it anyway). When it comes to training, cats train humans better than we could ever train them.
With dogs it's a different story. Most dogs enjoy training. It seems to give them a sense of purpose. It's job to do and most dogs love to work. Plus, many dogs are highly motivated by food and attention. They will gladly sit, stay, shake, lie down, roll over and do whatever else we can teach them in exchange for a little reward. Dogs seem to have a sense of pride in themselves when they have done a good job. In fact, when dogs "act out" it's usually because they are bored. They need exercise and mental stimulation. Training helps provide the latter. Cats need these things too, but they usually get them on their own terms.

What To Do If Your Dog Dies At Home

What To Do If Your Dog Dies At Home


Answer: Losing your beloved dog is difficult in any situation. However, if your pet dies at the veterinarian's office, they can help handle the remains for you. If your dog dies suddenly at home, you will need to take certain steps and make a few decisions right away.

Call for Help


This is a difficult time, and it's probably best if you don't have to be alone (though some people may prefer to be alone). If possible, call a close friend or family member that can help you deal practically with your pet's remains and offer emotional support. If you do not think you will physically and/or emotionally be able to handle your pet's body, choose someone than likely can.

Can Dogs Get Sick From Being In The Cold For Too Long?

Can Dogs Get Sick From Being In The Cold For Too Long?


Well,not sick,but they can get hypothermia and frostbite if they are not used to the cold or have a thin hair coat. And toy breeds like Chihuahuas and Min Pins can't last long in the cold at all.The same is true for very yong puppies and elderly dogs. But just a potty break isn't going to do anything,and the dog wil let you know when it wants to go in ( it will shiver,lift it's feet,etc.)

Depends on the dog. Some dogs with double coats don't mind being out in the cold. My dog which is a shepherd/malamute mix, will stay outside all day if I let him. He doesn't mind the cold at all, however, a dog without a double coat would probably not enjoy being out for long periods of time with out some kind of sweater or coat.

How Do You Know Its Time To Euthanize A Dog With Lymphoma

How Do You Know Its Time To Euthanize A Dog With Lymphoma


In rare instances, dogs are apparently cured of their lymphoma by chemotherapy. Unfortunately, most dogs with lymphoma will have relapse of their cancer at some point. A second remission can be achieved in a large number of dogs, but it is usually of shorter duration than the first remission. This is because the lymphoma cells become more resistant to the effects of chemotherapy as time goes on. Eventually, most lymphomas develop resistance to all chemotherapy drugs, and dogs with lymphoma die or are euthanized when the cancer can no longer be controlled with chemotherapy.

Will chemotherapy make my dog sick?

Most dogs tolerate chemotherapy well, much better than humans typically do. Although some dogs do get sick from chemotherapy, serious side effects are uncommon. In general, fewer than 5% of dogs treated for lymphoma using chemotherapy will experience side effects that need to be managed in a hospital setting. The most common side effects include loss of appetite, decreased activity level, and mild vomiting or diarrhea that persists for one or two days. If serious or unacceptable side effects do occur, it is important that you talk to one of our oncology doctors or staff about this. We can recommend symptomatic treatment to lessen the side effects of chemotherapy. In addition we may recommend reducing the dose of chemotherapy the next time it is to be given.
Unlike people, dogs usually do not lose their hair when treated with chemotherapy. The exceptions to this rule are poodles, Old English sheepdogs, and some terriers – these breeds may lose their hair while receiving chemotherapy. Hair growth should resume once chemotherapy is discontinued.

Why Does My Dog Keep Trying To Hump Me ?

Why Does My Dog Keep Trying To Hump Me ?




You simply don't allow it! When the dog does this, they get a sharp verbal reprimand and pushed off. They' will get the idea soon enough.

But as we always say we are not professional on that but we do have experience and that is why we answer all this questions , but i am also going to give you a person who is a professional and have videos on how to stop your dog humping you and more. 


Humping is can be a dominance thing. He could be trying to assert his dominance over you which is not good. You need to assert yourself as pack leader, and he needs to learn his place in the pack as a subordinate.Otherwise you could end up with an out of control dog that does what he wants when he wants as you have indirectly told him he is the boss. Sucessful human dog relationships depend on the hiumans of the household being dominant, not the dog. 

Having said that dominace doesnt mean intimidation or physical punishment, but earning the dogs respect by showing yourself to be a a firm/consistant but fair pack leader. When he humps push him down with a firm NO! Then tell him to sit. If he sits praise him. You may also need to make sure that he isnt allowed up on couches/beds/peoples laps (that could give him the idea that hes top dog). Giving him his meal AFTER (not before) you and your family have eaten may also help as the pack leader always eats first before subordinates are allowed to feed. 

Make sure you are consistant, otherwise he will get confused and not know where he stands. Attending a few dog training classes or getting a qualified dog behaviourist in to help work with you and your dog will definately help establish a healthy human/dog relationship.

Top 10 Reasons Why Cats are Better Pets than Dogs

Top 10 Reasons Why Cats are Better Pets than Dogs

It can start a war, end a marriage or strain a friendship. The truth about cats versus dogs is a hot-button debate that rages on, even if cat lovers know that their darlings swept to victory long ago. For cats, it's no contest: Their inspired playfulness and independent spirit are the secret envy of some humans, many of whom wish they could spend their own days batting at a catnip mouse and napping in the sun rather than tapping a computer keyboard. Even some die-hard dog lovers have inched toward the light of the feline side, drawn by their low-maintenance lifestyle and excellence as lap decorations. Why do cats best dogs? Here's a pawful of reasons.

10: Cats treat your guests politely.

When friends arrive at your home, a dog goes into a frenzy, barking, leaping and pawing at the newcomer. "Pay attention to me!" he begs, as his excited nails rake a guest's linen blazer. While the dog does everything possible for approval, from racing around the room to bouncing like a basketball, the cat is usually nowhere to be seen. Cats prefer to observe new arrivals from afar. For instance, under the bed or atop the refrigerator. Maybe, if the cat is in the mood, she'll come out to acknowledge this New Person with a tail twitch, a cautious once-over. But that's it. No effusive greetings, no jumping on laps or humping of legs. Invite a cat to your dinner party. She'll stay discreetly out of the way, while a dog lusts for -- and sometimes runs away with -- the main course.
Better manners.

9: Cats smell better than dogs.

Even the most dogged of canine devotees must cop to this one. There's nothing quite like Eau de Fido, that earthy, unmistakable and not very attractive odor. All of the scented shampoos and daily brushing/combing/blow-drying rituals in the world can't fully remove or disguise it. You'll find it in your car and on your clothes. No one needs to ask if you have a dog: Their noses confirm it. Cats, with their constant self-grooming -- performed to regulate body temperature as well as to clean -- emit no such smell. If your cat perches on the new loveseat when you're not home, you'll never know.
Sweeter smelling.

8. Cats are funnier than dogs -- even if the cats don't know it.

The Internet is littered with comical cat photos and videos -- hundreds more were uploaded just as you read that sentence. Their legendary curiosity lands them in situations that prompt giggles. Ticklish kittens, a tabby entranced with its mirror image, a cat sedately walking across an open file cabinet. It's as if cats have an inherent knack for comic timing, even if they won't snicker at their own antics. And that feline economy of size helps: Most dogs need a bigger stage to clown. (Not to mention the need for constant applause.) But sit a cat in a sink or place a hamburger bun on its head, and you've got instant entertainment. It'll pose for the camera, indulge in some cat-itude, and invent a smooth move all its own.
True comedians.

7: Even the loudest cat is quieter than any dog.

Most dogs will always vocalize their moods. A cat will keep it to itself. Upset, happy, excited or just talkative, dogs bark. Loudly, dogs announce every news event, from a stranger at the door to a new flavor of treat. Cats, even with protesting meows over a flea bath, lack the chops to compete with a dog's decibel level. Feline complaints are mostly mews and occasional hisses, barely audible from another room. Your neighbors will never call to inform you that your cat's hissing is keeping him awake.
Better decibel managers.

6: Cats are a natural insect repellent.

A cat's message to all bees, moths, ladybugs and the rest of the insect kingdom: Don't bug me. He means it. Cats, fascinated by winged things and crawly critters, are masters of extermination. They'll climb walls to dislodge a spider and its web -- even in the middle of the night. A lazy fly sneaking in through a screen door has no chance of survival. And a poor, defenseless cricket, cluelessly broadcasting its location, offers hours of entertainment before the cat ends the torture. The cat who's made his home insect-free still hopes for a visiting bug -- its got to keep those de-bugging skills sharp.
Natural born exterminators.

5: Cats take much better care of their toys.

Ever see a dog's playthings? Shredded rawhide bones, torn tennis balls. They're in tatters (unless, of course, they've been swallowed). Cat toys tend to be hugged, carried and carefully hidden in beds or baskets. Cats keep their prizes safe from intruders who might steal that square felt thing with the bell in it, or the sparkly ball that squeaks. And cats firmly believe in stockpiling: A calico named Cassie once stashed 27 ping pong balls under a skirted rocking chair, apparently sensing a global shortage. Her owners thought the balls were lost. Instead they had become "cat collectibles." Cats also make better fashion choices than dogs -- have you seen some of the outfits dogs allow themselves to be seen in? But no self-respecting feline would don a hot pink hoodie without clawing it to ribbons first.
Covet their toys.

4: Cats don't need to be walked.

A thunderstorm shakes the skies, drenching the dog walker as she waits for her trusty pet to take care of business. It's cold, it's midnight and this is all so inconvenient. In snow, sleet, heat or rain -- the dog needs a walk. Demands a walk. Bring the scooper, the scented disposal bags and patience. Meanwhile, a contented cat sits smugly in the window, unaffected by the downpour outside. A quick trip to the litter box and the cat's set for the night. Even on a sunny day, cats wouldn't dream of asking for a walk. Wear a leash? Yeah, right. Try placing a harness or leash on a cat, and watch how it squats, thinking that colorful ropy thing has somehow tied it down. What, you want the cat to lead the human around while wearing that? Please. Save it for the dog. Who must be walked. Again.
They can go leash-less.

3: Cats enjoy bringing gifts to their loved ones.

Hunters at heart, cats are miniature versions of their wild forebears, the lions, tigers, cheetahs and jaguars of the world. But cats can't down a wildebeest in your backyard, so they settle for smaller prey -- and share it with you. A gift offered by a cat, whether a mole, bird or unidentified critter part, is the highest tribute it can pay, proof of devotion to you. Yes, you'll be nauseated by this gift. But as with any present, you do the kind thing. Say, "Oh, thank you, kitty, that's so sweet of you." And that makes the cat's day. Sometimes, indoor-only cats offer gifts, too: a small stuffed toy, presented with a loud meow, says, "I've been looking all over for something you'd enjoy."
More generous.

2: Cats and Laser Pointers: Entertainment Tonight (Tomorrow, or Anytime).

Before the moving red dot became a cat's most favorite activity, felines had to settle for chasing a flashlight's beam. Boring! Then, the arrival of that dancing pinpoint turned cat play into a fast-forward ballet. Cats never tire of racing after that elusive speck. Slapping hopeful paws over it, they're baffled when it seems to escape. Where does it go? No matter, they're hot on the trail, and getting a cat-cardio workout while they're at it. While a dog will chase a ball, he has no interest in whatever that flashy, red thing is. Why pursue something if he can't fetch it for a reward? But cats know the laser pointer's real reward is the chase itself. And someday they really will nab that little red sucker.
Two words. Laser pointer.

1: Cats purr when they're hungry or happy

No sound in the world rivals a cat's purr. Its thrumming rhythm alerts helpless kittens, assuring them that mama cat is nearby (along with the milk supply!). That comforting buzz tells humans that their feline friend is oh-so-content with life. Stroke a purring cat's side, caress its chin and feel the gentle rumble for instant stress relief. A hungry dog will plead for food by dancing at your feet or planting a nonstop wet kiss on your face; a cat sits pointedly near its dish, purring confidently because dinner is about to be served. Cats don't mind if you gripe about your day or spend too much time online; they'll sit nearby, with that softly motorized sound subbing for conversation. Who needs words when a purr says it all?

How To Train Your Cat Fast

How To Train Your Cat Fast


I've teach my cat to do all sort of tricks. Sit, lie down, spin, give right paw, give left paw, Gimme five (easy trick that people love) and he's also trained to follow me at my side and stop when I stop. It's actually very easy to do all those tricks. There is two basic thing to know. 
1- Repetition : Cat will take around 25 repetition in order for the trick to become kind of natural 
2- Decompose : Each trick has to be strip down step by step and learned one step at a time, assimilating one step perfectly before beginning the next. One person here gave you the trick to do the spinning. That's exactly how it should be done although it's missing something. The gesture before the trick is very important. For me, I'm doing a fast and small circle with my hand (wrist twist) and then I get the cat to follow my hand with the treat to spin. Every times he gets it right I do the wrist twist and go around faster and faster and getting the circle around him smaller. Repeat this until you get to the original movement (wrist twist) 
You'll want to associate a word and a gesture. The goal is to be able to get your cat to do the trick only on a gesture. Here are the rules. 

1) When you give a command you say it only once. Most people will repeat the word when kitty is not reacting. So if kitty does the trick after the forth repetition and you give him his treat, you're basicly telling him that he should perform the trick after you've said the word 4 times. Say it once and Just wait. Your cat will try different things before doing the tricks. If you feel you've lost his attention then you should stand up and begin all over again. 

2) Don't give the treat everytime. Use the 'Rule of 3' with a cat. A cat will often remember something at long term once he has repeated it 3 times in a row. So if you give a treat 3 times in a row when he perform a trick, he will expect the forth and all the following trick to get a treat. So you should never give a treat the third time and only use 'Good boy' and petting the cat like you should do everytime he does a trick (wether he gets a treat or not). That way your cat will never know if he's getting a treat out of a trick and the only way for him to know is to do the trick. The easier the tricks gets, the less treat you should give and only use 'good boy' so that in long term, you don't have to have treat anymore. 

Don't do the trick at the same time of the day, try to do it everyday three or four times and he shoudl respond to the word after a month. Attention span of a cat is between 5 and 10 minutes. So don't get long training session but rather short but often during the day. 

NEVER punish a cat for not doing a trick. Unlike dogs, you cannot train a cat with a retribution technic. 

Sitting : Easiest trick. Take a treat between your finger pointing up (not down). Put it just before the nose of your cat and say `sit``. He will surely get up on is rear legs to get it. At that point just get the treat toward his rear over is nose to force him to sit. The second he sits, you give him the treat and congratulate him while petting him. Do not wait. It must be instantanious. If you wait too long he lift his bottom off the floor and if you give him the treat, you basicly teaching him to sit and get up instead of just sitting. Remember the Rule of 3 

Give paw : Find a gesture (for me it's the same as sitting but instead of having my finger pointing up, there pointing one the side of the paw I want him to give. That way I can say give Left paw or Right Paw...people gets very impress because most dog don't do this. Your cat will try to get it with his mouth but should also try with his paw. The minute the paw hits your hand you give the treats, congratulate...etc. 

Give me Five : Once your cat has learn how to give paw, you can do the Gimme five trick. Just place a treat between two finger hands open like you would if you'd want your cat to give you a High Five and put it just in front of him over his head. Your cat will raise his paw becauce he learned the give paw trick. Always Respect the gesture, treat and congratulation sequence. 

Put a treat on the floor and tell you cat to wait your signal to eat it : also very easy. Just put a treat on the floor and say ``Wait`` while putting your hand over the treat as a stop sign. If you cat go for it, lower your stop hand to block him. IF still tries to get it by pushing your hand, just take the treat back and begin all over again. If he stop and tries to go around your hand just follow him. Once you get your cat to wait a bit, give to GO signal pointing the treat with your index. The first couple of time try to coordinate your Go signal with your cat going for it after he has wait. Then wait longer and longer before giving the GO signal. Remove the treat if he does not wait and begin again. Many cat will lie down while waiting. This is the perfect time to teach him to lie down. Just make a gesture to lie down and the minute he does it....you know the drill.

How To Stop Cat Peeing On Carpet


Make sure his litter box is clean, a change in cat litter or urinary tract infection can cause 

them to go outside of the box. get some pet odor neutralizer to spray on the carpet where he 

urinated so he will not be tempted to go back to that spot and urinate again. take him to the 

vet for a urinalysis he may have lower urinary tract disease. he may not like the litter some 

cats will not use scented litter or a brand that it isnt use to, if his litter box is dirty he wont 

want to use it cats are very clean animals, it could also be that he is lacking attention and 

acting out due to under stimulation.
