Pets are not accesories! If you need a bag for traveling that is one thing but do not subject your animal to being carried around just to make you happy.

Question by bubbalucie: Fleas…..not my puppy(part2)?
ok so I gave my friends puppy a bath with dishwasing liquid like a couple of people suggested.(im puppysitting for her and the puppy hd fleas all over even after I asked her if the dog had fleas and she told me no)My maltese/yorkie has never had fleas and thats how I would like to keep her.Whta should I do with the puppy now.She is in the pet carrier and she keeps crying and whining.She doesnt want to walk around though she wants to come up on the bed and sleep with my puppy and im sorry but i am not having that.I take my puppy to the groomers all the time and they always tell me how well kept she is.I dont want to bring her back with fleas all over her.Please what should i do.She is crying and wont stop but i dont want to take her out and then have fleas evrywhere.Ive been keeping my puppy from her.(and she also seems quite vicious.We went to pet her and she snapped at us.This was before we put her in the pet carrier)UGHHHH….FRUSTRATED
I def understand Anxiously Awaiting but she should have never given me her flea infested pup.The crate is huge and was meant for my aunts rotti when she came to visit and needed a crate for him so its huge.Shes running around in it and is playing.As for reimbursement my friend is out of town on a job interview so getting money back probably wont happen.

go to the pet store and plunk $ 40 down for a flea drop remedy. it works within 8 hours and that poor puppy is just miserable as can be right now, not to mention the possibility of getting sick from the bites. She isn’t vicious, she’s in pain and suffering/

Act now, don’t buy the cheap stuff, it doesn’t work.

Also, fleas may lie dormant for long periods of time, months even, waiting for a host to come along. And then they jump the host again so if you are in contact with a flea dog, the fleas will be on your clothes and make a home in yours if you let them.

unfortunately for you, as you didn’t sign up for all this, you must bomb the house at least twice in a row, while you and the puppy are out (the day after you put the flea drops on the puppy). fleas expel live eggs when they die and so bombing once isn’t enough, you must bomb the eggs as they are hatching (about ten hours after they are expelled). flea larva will not release eggs so get them right away.

And charge your friend a bundle for all of this work they left you with.

Question by KK: 4week old puppy..were to go potty?
Hi We have just taken in a puppy who is somewhere around 4 weeks of age..he is a pitbull.. looks like he is only 3 weeks to 4 but had his teeth..anyway.. We saved him and took him because someone was trying to sell these pups way to young and they were taken from mother. We brought him home and ive had him in a soft bed/crate carrier, I lay a puppy pad down in it and his blanket in back and he naps in there.. when he wakes up I take him out and put him on a pee pad on the kitchen floor and he goes to the bathroom. If we are not home and during the night he is in there and goes to the bathroom in there.. What should I be doing? As far as an area for him? I thought of blocking off an area in my unused laundry room and laying down newspaper and puppy pads and then soft area for him to lay for naps on the other side(same area but he can still sleep away from poop) That way he has his own space to run around and go to bathroom and then nap..what do you think? This is a very small young puppy he only weighs 2 lbs so He is not good enuf at walking to be taken outside to potty..Im assuming at this size and age usually they are laying with their mother in an area and playing and pooping in that area with their litter mates?? He is ding great.
Actually we live in SC and at the flea market people sell pups..etc.. some crackhead was selling them..obviously desperate for money I took him to prevent her from selling him to some bad household..I knew they were way to young to be taken from their mother. She was trying to sell 3 of them for 25 bucks…horrible
he is eating royal canin baby puppy food.. it is real small and for wheening pupps. he eats it pefectly.. I put a tiny bit of water to soften it but he doesnt need it like mush..he eats it great and drinks water from a bowl..vet said i didnt need to feed him formula.
surprisingly when he wakes form a nap he whines and as soon as i take him out and out on pee pad, he does his business..so really the only time he goes in his carrier crate is at night. If I cant take him with me hes at home but not or long..soon it will get more demanding when i need to take him outside to potty every hour!

at this point, mom may still be helping the pups with their potty times…. i know my bltch does until about 4 weeks, and then they all learn to follow her outside.

you need to report whoever it was that was selling these pups, and ask your local ASPCA for help. the average pet owner is in NO WAY prepared to deal with the needs of a 4 week old pup.

Question by mrprov12: Crate/Kennel or Carrier: Whats the difference?
I am the soon-to-be owner of a Boston Terrier puppy. I’m shopping around for the things I’ll need, and I was wondering what the difference was between a crate/kennel and a carrier. Do I need both? Neither? Can dogs sleep in them? Or do I need to get a bed also?

Also, could you tell me a few of the other things I’ll need? Do you have any recommendations on brands or types?

And is padding for the crate worth it? For the sides?

And do puppy pads work? Are they useful?

Thanks, yall

Health for you and your new upcoming puppy. Crates usually tend to be plastic, and kennels tend to be metal, this isn’t in all instances though. Either one will suit your puppy but you have to make sure it isn’t too big or too small because it’s used as a method to potty train them as well as be a home when you’re not around. Puppy pads are useful and help if you’re not around and a dog must have padding for the crate, not necessarily for the sides, but of course for the bottom.
