I currently own a Great Dane that is a purebred and a cocker spaniel beagle mix. I love both of them to death, just wondering which breed is best to own.

I need a rabies vaccine, where can i get one?

It was suggested by my college that i get a rabies vaccine. Where can i get one? And how much do they cost? I live in northern OH if that helps. Thanks
I am supposed to get one because I am going to school to be a vet tech. And they recommended the vaccine in case we were bitten.

How much does a full spay cost for a male cat?

Hello!
I live in Chicago and I have a cat almost 17 months. I have heard that the spay costs a lot, is it true?
Do you know any place which offers reasonable prices?
Please let me know.
Thank you.

Why do so many people dislike mixed breed dogs?

I have read a lot of negitive stuff on hear about "Mixed Breed" dogs and I think it’s wrong.

People say that there is no need for mixed breed dogs and that only Pure bred dogs should re-produce.

with so many dogs in shelters I don’t think ANY dog should be re-producing…even Pure breds. There are a lot of pure bred dogs in shelters, not just mixed breds.

I have only owned Mixed breed dogs and I love them just as much as if they were Pure bred. I don’t think I would ever pay money for a dog (unless it were from a shelter)

Don’t get me wrong, I’m not hating on the responsible breeders I just think it’s kinda wrong that people don’
t think my dog should exist b/c they are not Pure:(

The vaccine is Hexadog Merial Rabies. The sticker has the serial number and batch number, as well as the expiration date. (but this is the expiration for when the vaccine can be given, not how long it effects the dog after it is given). Is there any way I can tell, so I know when my dog needs to get it again?

(I can’t ask the vet, it was done overseas)

Well I was watching Animal Planet last time and they said a dog was foaming or something and they said something about dehydration. Do dogs really foam when they dehydrate? How can you tell the difference from the dehydration foam and the rabies foam? Also, to save my points, lol, what is a good way to train my puppy to poop in a certain area of our yard?
P.S.
My puppy is not foaming! Lol

My dog is now 7, when he was about 4, he started peeing on the couch when I’m not home. He knows its wrong, because on the days he pees on the couch, he will run outside as soon as I get home. How do I get him to stop if he only does it when I’m gone and I can’t catch him in the act?

We have a collie, she’s almost three years old, an no matter what we can’t get her to stop barking! The neighbors have been pretty nice but they’re starting to complain. We also have a five year old shar-pei/lab mix. Any way we can keep our collie quiet and prevent our mixie from picking up the bad habit?

What mixed breed is referred to as a 'Shnorkie'?

Before the breed police jump in…I am well aware that they are mutts, mongrels or what ever you choose to refer to them as and I am not approving or disapproving of anything so please dont waste your energy preaching about cross breeds and back yard breeders! All I am asking is when these dogs are a mini schnauzer/yorkshire terrier mix or shih tzu/yorkshire terrier mix which one is referred to as a ‘shnorkie’ ?

Anyone have hip displasia?

It’s really rare in humans…it’s really common in dogs. Just wondering…
