I have heard that it's not a good idea to buy a puppy from a pet store. Why not?

Frequently Asked Questions - Zim Family Cocker Spaniels
There are several reasons. First, almost all pet store puppies come from puppy mills... very large commercial breeders with huge numbers of dogs bred strictly for profit. If you saw the conditions the parent dogs live their entire lives in... you would be very upset. It's awful that these type of operations are allowed to stay in business. You keep them in business when you give your money to pet stores that sell puppies.

Isn't it a good idea for a dog to have one litter of puppies before she's spayed?

English Cocker Spaniel Puppies
There is no advantage in having a litter of puppies, plus you lose a great deal of the health benefits of having your female spayed. Why should I spay/neuter my pet? Unless you are planning on becoming a serious breeder, altering your pet is just plain practical. With females you no longer have the problem of keeping her confined every six months, and if done early before she ever comes in season, spaying practically guarantees she will not get mammary cancer.

Why is it a good idea to microchip pets?

Firehall 4 Animal Hospital : FAQ
Having a microchip ID implanted is one of the safest forms of pet identification! One in three pets will get lost during their lifetime. Without ID, 90% of pets are not returned to their owners. Collars and tags are a great way to identify lost pets, but they can easily come off or be removed. Microchipping is permanent, completely unalterable and does not change or harm the appearance of the animal in any way. The procedure is safe, inexpensive, fast and virtually painless for your pet.

Is it a good idea to swim when you have diarrhea?

Untitled Page
You share the water with everyone in the pool, so swimming when ill with diarrhea can contaminate the water. Stay out of water that is shared by others if you have diarrhea. Persons who swim while they have diarrhea threaten the health and well being of those sharing the water. This is true because recreational water illnesses (RWIs) are more easily spread when someone is experiencing diarrhea.

Do you think your pet is good enough to win the Pet Spotlight?

This section is for games that require you to look at 2 pictures that are nearly the same and find the differences in each. A good tip is to play the games a few times and get used to the pictures and where the differences are. Once you reach 1000 points, end the game and send score.

My pet has had a litter. When can I find homes for them?

Gaston Humane Society
Ideally the babies should stay with the mother for at least 6 weeks. They should be eating solid food before they are taken from the mother. This is not only good for the pet's health, but also for the socialization of the animal. If a pup or kitten is taken too early or too late from the mother, it may have problems learning the language of others of its species or learning to relate to people. Please have your pet spayed or neutered immediately after the babies are no longer nursing.

Should my pet have a litter before she is spayed?

FAQs at Park Animal Hospital
NO! It is myth that pets should experience birth. Breeding your dog/cat is not only costly and time consuming but poses a risk to her health. Also if you visit the shelters you will see many abandoned pets that need homes – many of which were the result of someone letting their dog/cat have just one litter. And in all actuality your pet will be a better pet without going through the birth experience.

Why is cyclical rhythmic dosing of HRT a good idea?

San Ysidro Pharmacy
Any physiology book will tell you that estrogen and progesterone are cycled in a rhythm. In the first half of a woman’s typical 28-day cycle there is a peak of estrogen (estradiol) and in the second half of the cycle there is a peak of progesterone. In most conventional HRT, this sort of rhythm has not even been considered. Today, we are learning that the hormonal rhythms may be just as important as the bio-identical nature of the hormones.

Can/will my pet let Aunt Julie or you know when it's time for a Follow-up?

Aunt Julie Pet Communicator - FAQs
Once I've established a communication line with the pet, it's "there". So when I want to grab her or "access" her as it were, I just kind of mentally touch over there. Almost like a gentle tap - but gentler. I have something in mind and put something on that comm line, a concept. Maybe I read an email you sent and you're concerned because she seems to be whining more than usual since her surgery. My attention goes over to her; this concept rides right along with it. (Sort of.

Is it a good idea to put a dry rub on slabs of ribs the night before, and let it set overnight?

Cookshack - Barbecue Smokers | Barbeque Smokers | BBQ Pits
That's okay for 3 - 4 lb. slabs, but it tends to dry out smaller slabs, such as St. Louis cut or baby backs. Especially if the rub has a high salt content. For those smaller slabs, put the rub on about 30 minutes before they go in the smoker. You'll get good flavor, but you won't dry them out.
