Dog Behavior

Some pit bulls may be prone to hip problems due to their genetics, including conditions like hip dysplasia. It is important for pit bull owners to provide proper nutrition, exercise, and regular vet check-ups to help prevent and address potential hip issues.

Dampen a clean cloth with warm water and gently wipe away any matter from your dog's eyes. Avoid using harsh chemicals or rubbing too hard, as this can irritate the eyes. If the issue persists or if your dog is showing signs of discomfort, consult a veterinarian for further guidance.

m not 100% sure but i think its called lucky a chocolate lab whos been run over 3 times

Yes, there are no breed specific laws. They are required as all dogs are to be licenced through the county and leashed when off your property.

In the rumen, which is the largest chamber of the cow's stomach, microbial fermentation takes place. Bacteria, protozoa, and fungi break down plant fibers into simpler compounds like volatile fatty acids and gases. This fermentation process allows cows to digest cellulose and extract nutrients from their plant-based diet.

It differs in breed, size age of the dog, how much it chews. Uausally it takes 1 to 3 weeks for 1 tooth to fall out but for a dog to lose all of their teeth it takes about 1 year to a year and a half.

To unspoil a dog, start by setting clear boundaries and expectations. Reinforce positive behaviors with rewards and attention, while ignoring negative behaviors. Consistency is key, so make sure all family members are on the same page with training and rules. Gradually reduce indulgences and gradually reintroduce structure and routine to help your dog learn self-control and manners.

Onomatopoeia is a word that imitates or resembles the sound it represents. For example, "buzz" or "woof" are examples of onomatopoeic words. They are commonly used in literature and comics to help convey sounds vividly.

Actually most dogs do NOT do this; a dog that does this might have a dietary issue, an emotional issue, or be suffering from pica. A vet exam is in order, first, and then some behavioral analysis and training suggestions for how to eliminate the problem.

Vicious means that the person or animal has violent and destructive tendencies. A vicious dog is generally put down if and when it bites or attacks someone.

Feces doesn't contain anything that is "poisonous" to humans. Cat feces can carry many varieties of bacteria and protozoans which are parasites. In the case of Toxoplasmosis, the cyst needs to be exposed to oxygen for 24 hours before becoming infective. In most cases, clearing out litter everyday can prevent most infections you would be in danger of.

Dogs may bite their scrotum due to itching, irritation, or pain in the area. It could be caused by various reasons like allergies, infections, insect bites, or even behavioral issues. If this behavior persists, it's best to consult a veterinarian for a proper diagnosis and treatment.

An antagonist is typically seen as the character or force that opposes the protagonist in a story, driving conflict. They are not necessarily "bad" in a moral sense but rather provide obstacles for the protagonist to overcome, adding depth to the narrative.

The behavior you describe does not make me think that you dog wants to eat your kitten. Typically if a dog is going to kill a cat and they get that close it would be a done deal. They don't usually mess around with licking.

They are very sweet and good natured with their owners, but not with strangers. And strangers can include the postman, the neighbors and the guy who comes to clean the pool. I feed her Nutro Dog food from the pet store because its higher in protein and keeps her fit not fat.. not table scraps!

It is kind of like winging it, it means that you will just go for it.

Pit bulls often refer to breeds of dogs in the Mastiff group of dogs, which are generally larger dogs that are often (historically) used for dog fighting. Other breeds of dogs which are in the same category are the American Pit Bull Terrier, the Staffordshire Bull Terrier, and the American Staffordshire Terrier.

I do know that Pit Bulls derive from cross-breeding's of Mastiffs and American Staffordshire Terriers (look at a pic of Staffordshires and Pit Bulls, they look almost the same!!) and maybe other breeds.

Good answer! But, the term "pit bull" refers more to terriers. "Pit Bulls" included the American Pit Bull Terrier, the American Staffordshire Terrier, and the Staffordshire Terrier.

The most common reference to the term "pit bull" refers to the American Pit Bull Terrier, which does not stem from the Mastiff family. The American Pit Bull Terrier more closely stems from a mix of Staffordshire Terrier and Old English Bulldog (not to be confused with American Bulldog.) The American Bulldog is more closely related to the Mastiff family, not the American Pit Bull Terrier, the American Staffordshire Terrier, or the Staffordshire Terrier.

A female canine is called a bitch, regardless of the breed. This is not rude nor a cuss word. It is the female gender of a canine. The name bitch originates from the old Norse word, bikkja. A male canine is called simply a "dog", so "female dog" is a confused term, though some prefer using that.

If you are asking about good given names for female canines, some common ones are Fifi, Lady, Sarah, Princess, or Theresa.

The same word is often used in reference to something unpleasant or difficult to do. E.g- "We had to deliver twenty large crates to the top floor, and the lift was out - that job was a bitch".

The word is also sometimes used as a generally derogatory term for a woman, usually one perceived as being aggressive or difficult, and is increasingly used in reference to men perceived as weak or submissive, or to those who assume a subjugated role in a relationship, sexual or non-sexual, with a dominating male or female partner or partners.

When NH4HS reacts with H2O, it forms NH4OH (ammonium hydroxide) and H2S (hydrogen sulfide) as products. This reaction is a dissolution process where NH4HS dissociates into its ions NH4+ and HS- in water.

Ammonia has a strong odor that may temporarily deter dogs from pooping in a specific area. It is not recommended as a long-term solution as it can be harmful to their health and may not be effective in the long run. It's better to focus on positive reinforcement and proper training techniques to encourage desired behavior.

To train your dog to stop barking at people when they enter your house, you can desensitize them to the doorbell or knocking by practicing with a friend. Reward your dog for remaining calm. To stop your dog from barking at people they see, you can use positive reinforcement by rewarding them when they remain quiet around strangers. Gradually expose them to different people in controlled settings to help them learn to remain calm.

The absence of heat signs in your 4-year-old dog could be due to several reasons including underlying health issues, pregnancy, or a delayed heat cycle. It is best to consult with a veterinarian to determine the cause and ensure your dog's well-being.

I have found that, after reading 3 reviews about it, Boundary repellent is considered useful IF applied daily. Two of the reviews reported that it did work then, but one said that it didn't help at all. Here's the link: http://www.amazon.com/Lambert-Kay-Boundary-Outdoor-Repellent/dp/B0002AQS0O/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&s=home-garden&qid=1224599376&sr=8-3

as a sign of acceptance. this is a positive thing and it could be for numerous reasons like they are hungry or want to be walked or they just want you to notice them (:
