Can you apply frontline when your dog has a cut or a bleeding blister?
You can not apply frontline on a cut or bleeding blister no.
Pedigree dog food can be given to cat?
Cats need a diet consisting of a high meat content - probably more so than dogs. Meat is mostly made out of Proteins and Fats, and cats use these as their primary energy source. Here are a few things that are present in cat food that are not in dog food:
Taurine: Cats cannot synthesize this compound (unlike dogs and most other mammals), so they must get it straight from meat. Animal tissues such as poultry and fish are natually high in taurine. Not enough taruine in the cat's diet can lead to heart problems and blindness.
Vitamin A is another component cats cannot produce. Dogs can use a compound called "beta carotene" (its what gives fruits and vegatables such as carrots the red-orange colour) and turn that into Vitamin A. Cats cannot. They need to get Vitamin A from meat.
There are also number of fatty acids cats cannot synthesize in their bodies but dogs can, so feeding a cat food specially made for them is the safest option as all the nutrients are included in the food.

There are no dog clippers worth their salt unless you are willing to pay a high price for proper grooming clippers. I've gone there, done that, and the blades become dull very quickly. I now rely on my groomer.
How long do staffy puppys feed from mum?
In the wild, weaning begins naturally as soon as the puppies start to develop their teeth at three to four weeks of age. Suckling then irritates or hurts the mother who will move away and leave her puppies for longer and longer periods. Natural weaning involves the female dog vomiting her food and the puppies consuming the vomitus. Many pets will also do this and cause concern to owners. It is usually a natural maternal function and nothing to be worried about.
Once the puppies' eyes are open, the sooner the puppies are weaned, the less the strain on the mother and the sooner she will return to normal condition.
If the puppies have been hand raised for any reason, the sooner they are weaned and eating solid food on their own, the better. It is worthwhile to begin offering soft foods as soon as their eyes are open.
Are doggy diapers really a better solution than just cleaning up the mess on the floor?
If your dog doesn't have any disease that may cause diarrhea or bowel movements on the floor then buying diapers is a lazy way of training your dog. Take the dog outside and walk around and talk to them normally telling it to go for a pee. If you say that and they need to have a bowel movement they will do this as well. I also leave newspaper on the floor near my washer and dryer in case my dogs get caught short. If you dog is very old and can't help making messes then by all means get them the diapers. I had a friend that had a miniature poodle that lost feeling in her back end and she had diapers on the dog. If you're dealing with a male dog and urine/marking is the problem, consider a "belly band." It's just like it sounds; a band that holds a pad (buy inexpensive maxi pads instead of the expensive "refill" pads sold at pet stores) in place over the dog's "wee wee." If you have an elderly fluffy dog, it's probably better to use puppy pads or washable pads rather than a diaper. Worst case scenario is you have to shampoo your carpet. Beats shampooing a grumpy dog any day!

Which dog food brand is better I ams or Purina or blue?
Well, I have a Shetland Sheepdog, and at first he started out with Purina. Blue, I just don't think so, and iams is just so, well, they're always advertising, witch means, maybe they don't sell, so try Benefuls. My Sheltie has trouble eating it, so we put a little bit of Alpo in with it. Hope That helps,
Love,

The bags list only where it is distributed and there is nothing on the company web site, but if you can request the information from the DelMonte company.
Sending a request for information to the DelMonte Company brought this response...
"Pup-Peroni, along with the majority of Del Monte Pet Products, are produced at our pet food facilities here in the United States.
It may be helpful for you to know that Federal regulations require a product to list the country of origin if it has been produced outside of the United States or one of its territories.
