Dog Behavior
Dogs are unable to talk just like we do, but we can still understand their feelings by observing their behavior and body language. It is compulsory that an owner is aware of his dog's body language, as it will not only strengthen their bond, but will also prevent tragic results where the owner is forced to abandon his dog due to behavior problems. In this category, there are questions relating to the different body languages of dogs, their behavior, etc.

Can you feed your dog a rabbit?
Abesolutely not. Rabbits are herbivores and therefor should only eat vegetables. Cat food has a high meat content and is not safe for rabbits to eat.
++++
It must not be put out for hedgehogs either, as if it contains fish, it will poison them.
When dogs get older does their behavior change?
Their health may change, so their behavior can change along with that
Do dogs prefer to eat with others?
Most dogs are very possessive with their food, and prefer to eat at some distance from any others. Occasionally a group of dogs will have no problem, and even eat out of the same bowl at once, but only if they're really well socialized.
Why would a dog shiver if not cold or scared?
they do it to get rid of excess hair and they normally put their tails between their legs
Not all dogs sleep under beds but if you have observed a particular dog doing so it is likely because the dog feels safe there. Canines in the wild live in dens so being under something when they are sleeping can make them feel safe.
What makes a dog literally eat its own tail?
Dogs do not eat their own tails but they do sometimes bite at the end of their tail and then pull on it so it looks as though they are trying to eat it. They might either run around in circles doing this, or they might lie on the floor and pull at their tail. It could look cute or amusing but the dog is actually very uncomfortable.
When a dog persistently pulls its own tail it is most likely trying to clear blocked scent glands (which are near the base of the tail), or it may be that the dog has worms (and so has an itchy bottom).
If your dog pulls its own tail more than once or twice you should consult your veterinary surgeon to discover the cause. They will soon be able to clear a blocked scent gland to make your dog more comfortable or suggest a wormer that you can use, as appropriate.
How can I make my sick dog feel better?
Nothing - dogs do not react well to human medications and can develop serious medical reactions. If your dog isn't feeling well, you can try keeping an eye on him for a day or so at home - if he isn't eating, isn't drinking, and isn't playing like normal, it may be better to take him to a veterinarian to figure out why he isn't feeling well.
Why does my dog carry her stuffed animal around constantly?
The crying is kind of confusing but the reason dogs love squeak toys isn't because the squeak gets them excited but because when the dog gets a small creature, lets use a squirrel for example, it has it's teeth around it and the squirrel let's out a highly pitched squeal before dying and thus, makes the dog feel better since it has dominated something. That's why dogs adore squeak toys. Now maybe the dog is sad about killing the "creature" XD, maybe that's why it cries.
How much does a kyi-leo dog cost?

How can you stop a dog from having a puppy?
You get them fixed.
Both male and female dogs can be fixed.
If you don't want this to happen well
good luck with the no puppy thing
Also:
Girls are spayed and Males are neutered. If you do not want to have this procedure done, do not allow them to be around the other sex.
No. It is possible for a bitch to come into heat more frequently but it isn't healthy. For that to happen, the puppies would be removed from the mother way too soon and weaned to early. Once the bitch's milk has dried up, she could go into heat again faster than you'd think. Doing back to back breeding is not healthy for the bitch of the puppies and should be avoided.
And if you were a professional breeder, you would not be here asking these questions. Go get your dog altered.
How do you detect fever in a dog without thermometer?
You cannot. If you were very experienced you could feel the inside of the lips and see if hotter than normal but that is not a good way to tell the accurate temp. You just have to get a thermometer.
If a dog attacks a deer is the dog sick?
It depends on the dog, honestly. My dog, fore example, attacks rabbits because it's part black lab. It's in it's genes to attack wild animals. Other dogs, however, feel the urge for different reasons, if not that one.
For example, it could be territorial.
What to do when your dogs paw hurts and they can walk on it?
Take a good look at the pad of your dog's paw. Check for objects that may have lodged themselves in the pad like burrs, glass, etc. If you see that the paw is wounded, take a look at this article to treat the wound.

You are doing a good thing to look after your dog's paws. If you cannot find anything in the pad or foot, and your dog keeps limping around, take your dog to the veterinarian. It is best to solve this problem now while it is small before it gets any bigger.
Woof!
Is it okay to give your dog propel water?
yes it should be ok because its only water with flavor and other things but what a weird thing to give a dog and why would you?
Why do dogs grunt after another dog died?
Dog's are very complex animals and are capable of experiencing complex emotions. Dog's can sense when a loved one has passed away by your emotions and can experience a deep sadness and feeling of loss as a result of this. This would be why they are grunting. It's just the way they are showing their mourning, just like humans do, it just sounds a little different. You should comfort your dog during a difficult process like this, it can be scarring and confusing.
Does a dog have to be identifiable with a chip or tatto?
well yes, because if you lose your dog or someone has stolen your dog. this chip or tattoo will make it easier to find and identify your dog. I recommend this chip because it makes it easier and faster to find your beloved dog!
Why does your male dog try and mount on her head?
They are showing dominance over the new male dog. If the dog allows it, he is lower in the dog pack. If he doesn't allow it and is willing to fight for his position in the pack, he will be left alone.
What is the price for pit-bulls?
The price around $250 for males and $300 for females. As long as they have seen the vet and got their first round of shots. They should be no younger than 13 weeks old.
AnswerThe price for a puppy should not be gender-based. It is based on the quality of the litter, and how much work the breeder has put into it. If you are paying for a top-quality puppy out of parents who have been extensively shown, titled and health-tested, all that stuff costs money, so expect to pay more. Most breeders will charge you less for a pet-quality puppy, but require you to spay/neuter it.
Short answer from me would be that a show-quality puppy is going to cost anywhere from $500 to $1000. Pet-quality pups from a decent breeder will likely be less. Backyard-bred dogs are much cheaper, going as low as $50, or sometimes even as a trade agreement. Bottom line is the price should reflect the amount of work that went into breeding the litter.
Answer :It depends on what your looking for. Have a friend that has a pitbull for $50,000. Its name is Bombs Over Baghdad, check her out at www.rocksolidpits.com, or i just saw a pitbull for free in my local paper today.
Answer:
Just wanted to add that humane societies and animal care and control centers are filled with almost all pit bulls or pit bull mixes. If you're looking for a pit bull, those are great places to look because you would be saving one's life and they are only about $60-$70. If you want a purebred, you could also go to a rescue.
What you need to do is to find kennels in your neighborhood. This way you will learn the values and bloodlines. In your internet search engine type pitbulls/kennels/your state, and the result page will bring lots of kennels for you to call.
Can you bury a dog on your property?
Yes, you certainly can because it is your property. However, it would be illegal to bury it, for example, in someone else's yard or in a state park, because you don't own that place.
About the only pet I know of that you can't bury anywhere is a horse, but a dog should be perfectly fine.
Dogs stop going into heat after a certain age?
If the reason you want to know that is a female cat drives you crazy during the spring and summer, the answer is GET HER SPAYED. Kittens only two months old who weigh only three pounds are ready for the surgery, but as long as the cat is OK with general anesthesia, it is never too late.
