    Former fighting pit bulls and cats

    APBTs are not, as a breed, protective. Individual tempermants may vary but protectiveness is not a breed charateristic. This is a breed that has been bred to be dog agressive but should show no agressive tendancies towards humans. They are not a dog that would be expected to protect a human or...

    Former fighting pit bulls and cats

    This is not typical APBT behavior and if you are going to call the rescue about the cats I would definatley let them know about this as well. An ABPT is not supposed to show agression towards humans and needs to be dealt with by an experienced handler if it has.

    Best dog breed to have around cats?

    In addition to the above groups I would also be very wary of sighthounds (greyhounds, afghans etc) and some pointers. Any breed can work but it may take alot of supervision and training and you may never be able to leave them alone unsupervised. We have 3 dogs a pug x, a lab and a pit/lab x and...

    Joint supplements for dogs?

    We give our dogs flexicose. It is a liquid rather than a pill and you can just pour it over their food.

    Cat playing with or harassing dogs?

    That is your opinion. Every dog is different. I would be less likely to allow a sighthound or northern breed around my cat than a well behaved pit. A pit IS more likely to chase than SOME breeds, they have a very high prey drive. However that is a risk that needs to be understood from the...

    Cat playing with or harassing dogs?

    We have had Dilbert for a few weeks now. We slowly introduced him to the dogs and he was unsure at first but now he seems comfortable around them. Maybe too comfortable now. We have 3 dogs a lab, a lab/pit mix and a pug mix. The cat, Dilbert, will come up to the dogs, rub against them and then...

    How can I...?

    When we had a cali king we used to put an upsidedown plastic container in the cage with the top on the container and cut a hole in it so he could go in. I forgot what we had on the bottom of the container but it was something that retained moisture pretty well, I think it came in a brick at the...

    Are your cats "Anti Cat Tree"??

    Dilbert doesnt play on his tree, he just uses it as a perch to sit on so he can stare out the window. He wasnt really interested in it when we had it by the wall.

    Puppy is exhausting me already!

    Daisy our lab just started to calm down and she is 2.5 yrs. When you say running do you mean playing in the yard or you running with the pup beside you? If you are running please be careful with a puppy that young. They shouldnt be running with you until they are older as it can contribute to...

    Cat with URI wont eat

    Anyone have any tips for getting a cat with a URI to eat? His nose is all stuffed up. The vet suggested canned food since it smells stronger but he isnt interested. He is drinking normally and there is pee in the litterbox so I think he is ok as far as hydration. How can I get him to eat? We...
