Dog Behavior

Yes, dogs have scent glands in their paw pads. These glands release a unique scent that helps dogs mark territory and communicate with other dogs. The scent is often left behind when dogs scratch the ground, which is a common behavior for them.

A dog may wag its tail as a sign of excitement or friendliness, while growling can indicate aggression or discomfort. It's possible that the dog is experiencing mixed emotions or confusion, leading to the conflicting body language. It's best to assess the situation carefully and consult with a professional trainer or vet if needed.

Our dogs are well behaved but are subjected to the anti barking devices of a neighbor We are hopeful that there a is better solution than subjecting other dogs in the area to this treatment Is there a method to counteract

Naturally yes.

When a dog is neutered his organ for mating changes, so he may not help the female dog.

It is a thing they are already born with to do. My dog has shown his "urge" to me.

Dogs are pregnant for an average of 63 days, but this can vary slightly depending on the breed and individual dog. It is important to consult with a veterinarian for proper prenatal care and monitoring throughout the pregnancy.

Some dogs may not like having their paws touched due to sensitivity or discomfort. Paws are a sensitive area for dogs, and they may feel vulnerable or threatened when touched. It can also be a learned behavior based on past negative experiences with paw handling.

Just like any other dog, twice per year. However, I do not recomend that. All the over breeding, and a walk through the local ASPCA, will verify that they are not worth money anymore.........Chuck.

Dogs might sit on top of their doghouse to get a better vantage point, observe their surroundings, or find a comfortable spot to relax. It can also be a natural behavior for them to seek higher ground for security and safety.

They wash and cut your dog's fur and clips their nails.

To breed a grey pit bull, you would need to find a reputable breeder who specializes in breeding grey-colored pit bulls. It's important to ensure both parent dogs have a good temperament, health clearances, and pedigree to produce healthy offspring. Be prepared for the responsibility of caring for and training the puppies once they are born.

Dogs can be stuck together for 10-30 minutes during mating, as they are in a "tie" that occurs due to the physical structure of their reproductive organs. It is important to let them separate naturally without interrupting, as forcing them apart can cause injury.

Yes. A Doberman, Miniature Pinscher, German Shepherd, Rottweiler, even the Teacup Miniature Pinscher and more, can be pets that are very good guard dogs. I recommend the Doberman, German Shepherd, or the Rottweiler.

That is a very bad idea. It's okay to occasionally feed your cat table food, as a treat, but table food should never, ever constitute the cat's entire diet. It simply does not have the complete range of nutrients that cats need. If you continue to do this, your cat will surely have many health problems later on down the road, and will not live to a ripe old age. Cats need real cat food, period.

However, the cat food that is sold in most supermarkets is not much better than table food. In fact, it is worse. Most supermarket brands -- such as Purina, Friskies, Whiskas, Fancy Feast, Tender Vittles, etc., etc. -- are made with extremely low-quality "meat." It is actually really disgusting. These brands are made with all the leftover animal parts, including ground-up chicken beaks and feet, cow eyeballs, intestines, and something called "Animal Digest." Animal digest is essentially a mishmash of leftover parts; it can include rats, roadkill animals, and animals that were euthanized at animal shelters -- including dogs and cats.That's right, cats. These brands also include something called "ash," which is burnt animal remains. It is absolutely revolting.

Luckily, there are better foods available, made with high-quality meat that is fit for human consumption. They are more expensive than supermarket brands -- up to $2 a can -- but they will keep your cat healthy, and will add years to his life. It is well worth the money to keep your beloved pet healthy and happy. And in fact, you will most likely save money in the long run: since better cat food means a healthier cat, you will save hundreds, even thousands of dollars on veterinary bills.

High-quality cat food brands are sold at most pet stores, including Petco, Pet Stop, and petnetdirect.com. Some high-quality brand names include: Innova/Evo, Weruva, Max Cat, PetGuard, California Natural, Instinct, Prairie, Natural Balance, Solid Gold, Merrick, Wellness, Eagle Pack, Newman's Own, WYSONG, Precise, etc., etc.

If you really cannot afford to buy this food for your cats, then Iams brand is an acceptable second-choice. Iams is a supermarket brand, but it is of a higher quality than most supermarket brands. It's not as good as Innova/Evo, Weruva, Max Cat, etc., etc., but it is better than the other supermarket brands.

Also, although it is not strictly necessary, it is a good idea to feed your cat both wet and dry food. Wet food is more fatty than dry food, so a diet consisting of nothing but wet food can potentially cause weight problems. But more importantly, dry food helps scrape plaque off of the cat's teeth, giving him healthier teeth and gums, and better-smelling breath. My personal favorite dry food brand is Innova/Evo: most cats love it, and it makes their coat super-shiny and soft.

Also, although it is not strictly necessary, it's a good idea to give your cat some variety with his diet. Having variety in your diet is good for humans, and for cats too. Also, sometimes cats get bored eating the same thing every day. Whenever I go to Pet Stop to buy cat food, I always buy a few different flavors of each different brand, so as to give them as much variety as possible. My cats get a different wet food every night, and during the day they get Innova/Evo dry food.

Fixing a dog means making them not want to have sex. It prevents them from going into heat.

At 8 weeks old, a pit bull puppy should be fed around 3-4 times a day with a high-quality puppy food. The amount will vary based on the specific food you are feeding and the puppy's size, but a general guideline is about 1/2 to 1 cup of food per feeding. Always consult with your veterinarian for personalized feeding recommendations.

Funny as this is and having had more than a few dogs, I can fully see what is meant. However, pets are a huge responsibility and a life-time commitment. At least for the life of the animal. That being said, dogs in particular are important to different people for many different reasons. For instance, Visually impared use them to see where they cannot. Dogs are specially trained to do the functions that the human cannot. Such as open a modified door for the person, or direct them to the modified door so that they can do it themselves. Dogs have a very keen sense of smell and are very useful in the police force too. They help the police in many ways, from drug location to search and recovery of people. Now that is a few ways that dogs are useful to humans. Dogs are great companions as well. Other animals are too, but dogs well they are different, intelligent...yes even the ones that you think are really dumb...they are not! They are just letting you think that because they are in control...but that is another subject. Dogs have been part of the human existence as companions, assistants and all around good friend since pre-historic times. Basically, we need them as much as they need us.

The term for humanizing a dog is anthropomorphism, which involves attributing human characteristics, emotions, and behaviors to animals. It is a common way for people to relate to and understand animals, but it is important to remember that animals have their own unique behaviors and instincts separate from human characteristics.

Australia, Ecuador, Malaysia, New Zealand, the territory of Puerto Rico, Singapore, Venezuela Denmark, France, Germany, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania and Spain have enacted some form of breed-specific legislation on pit bull-type dogs, including American Pit Bull Terriers, ranging from outright bans to restrictions on import and conditions on ownership. The state of New South Wales in Australia places restrictions on the breed, including mandatory sterilization.

Certain counties and cities in the United States have outright banned ownership of the American Pit Bull Terrier, as well as the province of Ontario in Canada. American Pit Bull Terriers are also on a list of four breeds that are banned in the UK.

Well, there has to be a dilute gene in the lines.

Two solid black, brown, red, white, whatever color, cannot produce blue puppies.

Solid blacks that carry a dilute gene can, seals, I think can too.

You will not get blue pups from brown dogs, even if they do have dilute genes; they will create a color similar to the doberman's fawn dog.

Learn genetics; it is very important in dog breeding.

Yes dogs can eat cats and if not eat them hurt them like chewing on them but you can train a dog not to eat cats.

I have a shtzu X, and she loves cats, but doesn't know how to play gently with them . I have to keep telling her, it's a baby, be gentle. If your dog doesn't go after cats, just don't let them play unsupervised, and keep petting the kitten and saying " IT's a BABY! , be gentle."

It's common for adult dogs to groom kittens like they would their own puppies. This behavior can sometimes escalate if the adult dog sees the kitten as a toy or prey. It's important to supervise their interactions closely and intervene if the dog's behavior becomes too rough or aggressive.

There aren't good statistics on this - relatively few people in the United States are actually killed by a dog attack, and data from countries with more feral dogs (such as Mexico and China) is hard to come by.

However, the "kind" of dog that kills tends to be an abused animal that has learned to fight for survival and doesn't trust humans. This animal may also be infected with rabies and in the final stages of dying from it.
