Dog Day Care in Toronto?

Hello
I am moving to Toronto from the US. I am very used to taking my dog to Camp Bow Wow for day care. Is there anything comparable in Toronto – which offers day care without locking the dog in a kennel an also provides some means to monitor them (like a webcam)?
Thanks

Do i need a license from the county to start a dog day care?

Would a dog grooming/ doggie day care be a good business to run out of a home?

I was wondering if this sounds like a good business idea to base out of my home? I would convert my garage and have insulation and ac unit to keep it cool. Do people prefer having a place to take thier dogs to during the day when they are at work or do many prefer to just take their pets to a place like Pets Mart?
Sorry, should have mentioned that I plan to use garage for the grooming part

How long does Los Angeles Animal Services hold a dog before Euthinzation?

My found a stray dog on May 30th in the silverlake area. Medium size light tan with black markings and a wire coat. She was hungry and dirty and had a skin condition (not mange just rough spots) she had a green leather collar but no tags. She had recently had puppies. She looked like she had been through it, but she was very sweet and friendly. She got along well with our cocker spaniel and was very friendly towards humans and kids. We took her home and gave her food, water, and shelter for a few hours. Tried calling the shelter but it was a holiday so impossible to get through (even on a regular day i think their phone service sucks) So, we took her to the Shelter on Lacy street ourselves. If you want to see her picture and info she is identified as JENNY – ID#A1119641 at the North Central Los Angeles Animal Services Care Center…We would love to take her but we are in a small apartment already…how long does she have at the shelter if not adopted? Will they put her down? and if so how long has she got?

How do you start A GREAT dog service bussines?

So, i think it would be really fun to start a bussiness where you can take care of dogs and walk them, and wash them and take care of them while a family is out. I was just wondering what were some things i could do to get it up and running. Any good websites or ideas?
please help me out!(:

Do I have to register a business?

I’m planning on offering some pet care services (dog walking, pet taxi, maintenance grooming) soon, but just until the end of summer. I don’t want to start a business, but I would still like to earn money. I would also like to advertise, but I’m not sure whether I would have to register it as a business. What I would like to know is, what is the difference between what babysitters do (offer their services, but without actually having a business), and an actual business.

Dog insurance: Best insurers you have had!?

1. Where is the best place to get dog insurance?
2. Are they reliable?
3. When it says they’ll pay 8,000 a year, is it really true?
4. How exactly does the insurance work?
5. My dog may be pregnant, will they still insure her?
6. Do they insure to people under 18? I’ll be 18 March 26th this month, but by then if she is pregnant, she’ll be 1/3 of the way through it. Earlier the better in my opinion.

I want to ensure that my dog gets the best possible treatment, and her and the pups come out healthy. This was unplanned, a dog broke in through my window while she was in heat 3/1, but I’m not aborting her & I’m a responsible dog owner, willing to do whatever it takes to ensure the best possible health, including spending thousands at the vet. I have quite a savings, but it’d be nice to have insurance to keep some of those savings for grad school.

If you just want to yell at me for being 17 and breeding dogs, don’t bother. Trust me, I know all of the horrors out there. I know that “I’m contributing to dogs in shelters”. I’m not trying to make an easy buck and I’ve done quite a bit of research. The adopted puppies owners will sign a contract stating that the puppies will come back to me if they ever get rid of them for any reason and I will vaccinate them before letting people adopt them. When I know for sure (on the 22nd of this month when I have the ultrasound done), I’m contacting a local breeder to pay him to help me with the entire process, to be my “breeding mentor”. I’m not irresponsible. I’m a sophomore in college and have lived on my own for two years, as well as having worked consistently since I was 14. I just don’t believe in abortions. And the reason she wasn’t spayed is very complicated and does not have to do with finances. This all has nothing to do with my question, it’s just sort of a disclaimer. Answer my insurance questions, don’t tell me what to do with my dog is basically what I’m trying to say.

Thanks!

Which pet insurance would be best for my dogs?

Well i have a lab(4) and a terrier mix (10) and they always seem to be getting hurt. Last october my lab started limping so i took her into the vet spent $80 bucks and they couldnt tell me what was wrong, so then i took her to another vet and spent $40 and he told me she had torn her cruciate ligament in her knee. In december i spent $1000+ getting the ligament repaired. In march i spent $70 because she got kennel cough and last week i spent $150 because she is limping all over again! And my terrier is getting up there in age so im sure she will start to be neededing to be in the vet as well. Its crazy how many times im there so i thought i should start looking into insurance for them. Do you know of any that would best fit our need lol thanks.

Will you help create a government insurance system for man’s best friend?

Last night my beloved Fido was hit by a car. I took him to the local vet but was turned away because I don’t have money and no pet insurance. I then had to take him to the emergency room of a pet hospital more than 25 miles away where sadly Fido expired. As the legal guardian of Fido I sometimes blame myself. But then I start thinking, what kind of society does not provide for man’s best friend. We need nationalized pet insurance. If we taxed every US citizen only a few cents a day we could provide millions of dogs with health insurance. Please only serious answers. Funny replies will be reported to Yahoo.

My husbands dog is destoying our house. HELP!!!?

Back in August my husband brought home a Bassett puppy. He thought it would be the perfect dog because HE thought they were “lazy”. I really didn’t want to get a dog because we have 2 kids under 3 and I really don’t have time for a puppy, but caved and told him he could keep it. We made an agreement that he would have to take care of the dog when he was home. I told him that since it was his dog, he would have to do a majority of the training and housebreaking. Fast forward to now. The dog is 8 months old and still not completly house broken. We just built a new home and moved in last April, and now our beautiful new home smells like dog piss the minute you open the door. As if thats not bad enough, the dog, has chewed on almost ever piece of furniture in the house, has destroyed my childrens toys, and attacks my cat on a daily basis. I have begged my husband to get the dog trained and he says he’s fine and doesn’t need a trainer. Any tips on how to resolve this situation.
I don’t want anyone to think that I don’t do anything with the dog or just ignore him when my husbands away. I take him on walks with my kids, play with him, and give him love. But I have a 2 year old and 10 month old at home and can’t always make the dog my #1 priority. I really like the dog and don’t want to give him away. I just don’t want him to destroy my home. If it comes down to giving the dog a better home then I would do that because he deserves it.

I found a dog! what should I do with him? D:?

My brother was driving and all the cars were stopped in an intersection because a little dog was running around and an old man was chasing him. My brother got out of the car and caught the little Dog but when he tried to give it to the old man, the old man claimed it wasn’t his dog and that he was only trying to get it out of the road. So, my brother got stuck with it and brought it home and dumped it on me. He’s super cute, I think he’s a yorkie poo and i would totally keep him but I already have three dogs and four would just tip the crazy boat over the edge. I don’t know what to do! he is so sweet and good with all my other animals but I can’t keep him and my dad keeps hinting at the pound. I have put up found posters for him and put a found ad on craigslist list but I can only keep him about three more days because we’re having company over next week and they have a bunch of kids and another dog. I wouldn’t be able to take care of him.

So should I take him to the pound where his rightful owner might find him? Or should i try to find him a new home where he won’t have a chance of being put down? When he was first brought to me he was really dirty and had dredlock-like clumps in his fur so it makes me think that he has been lost for a long time so that maybe his owner is not looking for him anymore? But I don’t want to give him away and then have the rightful owner come looking for him. D:
Thanks everyone for the answers! Today I called the humane society and emailed them pictures of him so that if anyone goes in looking for him they can contact me. I’ll try to hold on to him a few more days and if no one claims him, we’re gonna take him in to the humane society and put him with other strays up for adoption. I’m not too worried about him getting put down because he is so cute and sweet, someone will probably grab him up right away. He had no color on but if he has a chip, the humane society will look for it when I take him in.

I agree, if it was my dog I would want someone to try to find me before giving him away. Also, when I gave him kibble he looked at me with a face that said. “Really?” and he jumps up whenever I get MY food as if I’m going to give him some. This makes me think that he was really spoiled and well taken care of by whoever his old owner is.

How can I register my dog as a therapy dog?

I have 2 dogs.
One, is very sweet and perfectly tempered but my other dog was not raised well and he is not very nice and sometimes aggressive.
(I am aware about my dog….he was raised by very bad people, and I gave him a better life than he would get<33 so yeah)

Ok, so my dog is a golden retriever.

Get along well with dogs
loves kids and people

2-Does she have to be AKC?
3-Do we get paid or is it like volunteering?(I am aiming for volunteer so I can get community service hours for school…..thats a bonus…lol)
4-Is it ok is she is spayed?
5-Where do I apply? I live in the Bay Area in California
6-anything else you can advice?any tips?

sorry…so many questions…but thank you

Anyone have any tips on how to deal with an ignorant SIL, who keeps taunting me?

She has always found ways to make me feel bad year after year since i have known her! I had never comforted her!

Till recently when my 4yo broke something in their bathroom and she was screaming like usual and told him to go up stairs and then I heard and decided to say something! I told my son he didn’t have to stay up stairs.I said this is your house too!
AND ALL HELL BROKE LOOSE! I had my MIL and SIL in my face screaming at me acting like they wanted to beat me! So I was shocked to here all the hate they had for me when I had no idea my MIL didn’t even like me! I had my SIL saying her brother shouldn’t even pay my bills, and she don’t know why he is with me, and that I’m with him for his money! (We have 4 kids and almost 6yrs of marriage and just 2 years ago he let me have full access to his account. Before and still now I have to ask him for money when i want something i have no credit card of my own)
So I was shocked to hear this! and i finally said you know what I’m tired of you and all the stuff you say to me and i want nothing to do with you anymore! I let everything out and told her i was sick of her treating me this way year after year and to stay out of my life! My MIL said well that was in the past let it go!! And much more hurtful stuff!

They live with us and every time she is around me she keeps taunting me by doing stuff like, grabbing my cell phone and using it with out telling me anything and saying dumb comments like, what is wrong with that dog why is he breathing like that and where is his food! Knowing I take good care of my dog! Or going on my computer and looking at who knows what! saying YUCK, what is that a clown, a prostitute real loud while I’m in my kitchen! so I can hear! So anyway stupid stuff like that! She wont stop!
My MIL wanted to move out after the argument and I told her to please do so! But she has no money so I told my husband to let them stay! I told my husband she still wont stop and he thinks i am imagining stuff! And this leads to a fight between us two! So DOES ANYONE OUT THERE HAVE ANY ADVICE FOR ME PLEASE! Any tips on how to deal with her attitude?

How to get a horse and/ or more riding time?

I always try- the main goal for me is to stop fighting with my sisters (I’m a kid!!!) and be less “attitude” to my mom, along w/ taking “better” care of my dog (Whom I already do, and love!)

Any tips?

My newly adopted dog constantly licks/chews at her paws and claws.?

She is a 7 yr old lab/shepard mix. Had her checked by a vet; she’s in generally very good health. She did have VERY long claws, but we had them clipped. She often just chews and works at one paw until we stop her. What do you think is the problem?

My cat is old and has started to meow all the time does anyone know why?

My cat is about 11 years old, and he is to be in good health. He does do not have any health problems. He is still very active and lively, but lately he meows a lot. Every time he sees anyone in the house or comes down the stairs he starts meowing and will not stop. Also he gets mad at the dog and has started to attack it by slapping the dog with his paws and hissing at the dog until he moves or someone stops him. We have had the dog for 7 months. He did not do this before. He has always been a little over vocal, but not like he is not. Anytime he is in the room with any family members he will not stop meowing. He also follows me around the house meowing. At first it was cute, but now it is really bothersome. He has food and water at all times. His litter is always clean, from the litter made. We take very good care of him. I am wondering if this is from old age?
Thanks for your help I will do that.

a kind vet -dog health info does anyone know anything on a 14 yr old dog with tremors shakes?

Starts with the head and eyes blinking then she sometimes falls helplessly to the floor I pick her up as fast as I can ….to give her some comfort and let her know I know there’s something wrong …just as I mentioned above,,,in need of a nice vet that would be kind enough to tell me what this could be …and what I might want to try to remedy it. I wish I could afford the vet, the former spouse is not pulling his share of his agreement he signed and is not returning calls for this dog that is his originally and he is responsible for costs of. She is a gorgeous happy lahassa apso that has big personality and smarts and yes act like my grandmother hen. I have seen her through so many tough times…she has been there during the tough times for me and others and deserves the best of vet care. Honestly thought I had it all agreed to when we split up…and he could not avoid her care but there is not anyone not a one in Canada that can enforce the agreement terms on him I guess.
A shame and 1000.00′s wasted on lawyers who took the situation for a ride. Some day I may write a book about this lawyer thing in my city. Anyway if you have any info please contact me I can not take her to a vet with lack of funding available….I do have some home meds here for her….but shy away from that and prefer food and healthy remedies or vitamins etc. She runs and plays but has a tooth that looks like its not tarter free and a bit of blood in the gums …she knows the word toothbrush and will brush her teeth and let me have a turn ….but we ran out of the tooth paste and have been using some peroxide and water diluted …and baby toothpaste for kids that is ok to swallow – so …say a prayer everyone. I did try to contact my former spouse and left a message but no answer and no return call when I left a message at xmas when she was limping on 3 legs
God the laws in Canada are so wimpy for an owner to get away with no shots for his dog and no charges – who in canada does follow the rules I wonder at times in relation to pets just how mean these lawyers and spca can be …in ignoring the person causing the challenges and risks like in this situation.
Anyway ..please if you can give me some help or information I would appreciate -she’s a very special dog and so communicative with her gestures eyes and even with showing answers or signals to words or phrases you say to her or maybe that I say to her being she’s been stuck with me most of the time and her younger daughter dog.here ..that has not got the same problem just major allergies to chicken and nasty paw infections that have to be checked daily – oh yeh my former spouse dumped a load on me -these guys never grow up like kids do!!! Its like having a 2 yr old around to wipe walk play with and exercise and then medicate and then clean up after ..and put money into buying healthy foods…way more then I ever anticipated or agreed to.
I’ve got to make the best of it : ).
Thanks for your help, take care
The meds where for other things like for example the eye drops the meloxicam or metacam a huge waste of money and created other health issue with the dog a no no the meds we have here are not for the tremors and the tremors did not start until after the surgery for pyro so hate to say this but its very upsetting yes she was saved then but this is not a way to leave any animal and what is with vets that cause more to the pet and expect the owner to just keep paying and paying in this case …lord I wish I could pull my retirement out so please understand calmly that the meds sitting here are not for this symptom ….I suspect there is some thing causing this but cant seem to narrow it all down and figure it out …lack of ??? or what.

Why are my dog’s nail pulling away from the nail bed?

I have a female white german shepard, 7 years old, inside dog, clean house, good overall health.The problem is her nails are drying out and raising from the nail beds, aggrevating her and leaving red and bloody nail beds.The pads under her paws also swell up forcing her to walk unnaturally.This is happening on all 4 paws.I have taken my dog to the vet, they have a ran blood test and tell me the problem is some kind of fungal infection.They have given me a bunch of antibiotics and medicated shampoos to wash the paws in for about 10-15 minutes every day or 2.This treatment works while the dog is on the antibiotics and for about 2 weeks after, but then goes back to the same problem.Then we have to go back to the vet and do it again.I have been to the vet over and over and have spent hundreds of dollars for this situation and had to feed my dog upto 7 pills a day and cant figure out why there isn’t a more permanent fix for this.I really hate and can’t really afford to switch to a new vet and start all over again but need a real fix and don’t want any infection going deeper into the dog‘s paw or leg. Have any ideas???

How to clean extreme filth, animal mess, trash, junk??

Ok – here’s the deal-

My bestfriend’s cousin has been going through some health problems lately, and has been suffering serious depression. She has let her home go to the extreme extent, and I know it bothers her. She has tried to clean and organize many times, and it somehow piles up on her again.

She takes in stray cats, and has an indoor dog. The cats have made such a mess of her home. Some use the litter box and other go ALL over the floor, on the couch, kitchen counter, even the stove! :*( She loves the cats and will not get rid of them.

Her floor is so soiled, the beige carpet is now med-dark brown with filth. The cats walk on this, get it on there paws and walk all over the counters and leave nasty paw prints, everywhere. Her dog gets into the trash and spreads it all over. Her cats urinate and poo all over her place, on bags and boxes. She is in a rut, and can’t seem to keep everything clean.

Any advice, how to you clean this extreme filth?

What is the healthiest dog food?

What is the healthiest dog food you would recommend for a golden retriever? Also which dog food will prevent a dog from smelling? When family or friends come over they complain about the dog smell. I also think the smell has rubbed onto me. Price does not matter.

Whats the healthiest dog food for my dog?

My sister-in-law rescued a 4 yr old Dachshund Mix from the pound, and gave the dog to my son. The dog as all it’s shoots and is healthy. We also have a cat in the house and he is eating up all her food. The wife thinks that we should get wet food for the dog, since he loves to eat cat food. … I want to make sure that we give him for what is healthy. Suggestion please.

What is the healthiest dog food that will ensure my dog to live longer and stay energized?

I just want to know what dog food will ensure my dogs all live longer and stay energized? Fact not opinion please.

I miss a dog. I worry about caring for one now. What kind would be good for me at 63, poor health, no yard?

I’ve had 3 fine dogs but when my last one died practically in my arms from cancer I decided to wait to get another. Now I find that my condition, fibromyalgia, limits me at times. A new home with little place for a dog to go outside, plus a busy street to traverse for a block-and-a-half before reaching a good neighborhood to walk inhibits me from getting the dog I want. My dogs have been medium-sized with the last being an Australian shepherd. I’d like to get another, but realize that another breed might be best. I don’t like little yippy dogs. Thank you for your advice.

Need some advice from breeders, or very experienced dog owners?

I decided that I want to breed Siberian Huskies, and NO I’m not talking about backyard breeding so don’t start yelling out BYB and irresponsible owner. Im not going to breed now but in the future maybe 5-10 years from now. I already have two savings accounts. I understand the risk and everything. I also want to have my dog in sledding seeing that I think that is important I wish I would have kept King in sledding.
I know about doing health care testing and everything is important. And I know that it is going to be expensive.

Im not doing this to make a profit or anything. I just really love this breed and has always loved this breed. I also want to be a foster home. (is that too much?)

Well my question is: Is there any advice that you could give me about breeding dos and donts?
Any experiences that you wish to share?

Oh And KING IS NOT BEING BRED!! I thought I would say that, because I had a thought that someone would ask that

Why is Ralph Nader attacking Obama (totally not a Neo-Con) on health care reform?

http://www.commondreams.org/view/2009/08/15-0

Never much of a fighter against abusive corporate power, Barack Obama is making it increasingly clear that right from his start as President, he wanted health insurance reform that received the approval of the giant drug and health insurance industries.

The whole secret process is seedy and demonstrates cruel disregard for the millions of American who, whether in dire need of medical services or not, voted in “change we can believe in.”

Mr. Obama even tried to exclude any advocate of a single payer system-previously favored by Obama and still favored by a majority of the American people, doctors and nurses-from his roundtable meetings convened to receive the views of different constituencies.

Obama is about to make his biggest mistake to date by favoring the bipartisan deal his assistants are working out with Blue Dog Senator Max Baucus and his Republican counterparts on the Senate Finance Committee. This proposal has no public option, no consumer protections or restraints on the mayhem and skyrocketing charges of the so-called health care industry.

“Make me do it” was the advice of Franklin Delano Roosevelt to reformers when faced with legislation he desired but did not have the votes for in Congress. Mr. Obama is not exerting that plea for people power. Were he to do that, he would be encouraging daily public hearings in the Senate and the House on the bureaucratic waste, greed, overbilling, collusion, and fraud that many in the corporate world have inflicted with their costly, pay or die health care industry.

Advice for Dog’s Dry Skin on Joints?

We have gotten a dog (half rottweiler, half lab) that has been in the family for five years. We are now the primary care takers of this beautiful dog and couldn’t be happier!
We haven’t had a dog per say, only three cats, so the whole dog thing is new, especially concerning health aspects.
His ‘elbows’ and even his ‘knees’ have really dry, course, rough skin, apparently from where he has laid on them for his life. Any advice on what to put on it? It looks like it is sore, but I doubt it bothers him. I was thinking ‘A&D Ointment’ which is usually used to treat rashes, or Vitamin E capsules… any advice would be appreciated! Thanks!

any natural ways to kill fleas on carpet? im gonna try salt. already took care of yard and dogs only 1 out of?

2 had three fleas.

My dog’s breath smells. Is there anything natural and healthy for her that I could add to her food?

I need something natural, cheap, and healthy for her that I could just add to her food that would take care of her bad breath.
you all are scaring me…a heart condition? she is 8 months old and i haven’t brushed her teeth before. she does chew A LOT of bones which i was told cleans their teeth.

Are there no cheap natural dog foods?

Everyone says how terrible most supermarket brands are for dogs but if you’re on a tight budget, why is there no alternative close in price range? I’d be willing to spend $5 maybe even $10 more than I do now per month (which is about $26 per 30lbs) and I just can’t find a suitable one. They all seem to be $40+ even $50+ and I just can’t do that. Someone in another forum had the nerve to tell me if I can’t afford $50 a month for my dog to eat high quality food, I shouldn’t have gotten a dog. That’s BS and I know it, so please don’t tell me that. I can easily afford his vet bills and everything it takes to take proper care of him. I’d just like another alternative to all these bi-products. But he’s not unhealthy by any means (vet approved!) or underweight eating what I can afford so please, don’t give me that crap. The vet keeps suggesting if I want to change, I switch him to Science Diet which I’ve read is just as bad as Beneful (which is what he gets now) but for a higher price so I’d like more opinions. I’m certainly not going to give up my dog because I can’t afford to feed him all natural…

Do dogs care about their sexual organs?

We just got our dog fixed, do you think they know that something is missing?

I also read you can have nudicles put in to replace that stuff, but that seems weird since it’s not natural. Do you know of any dog that has them, and how safe are they?

How do I convince my dad to take my pregnant dog to the vet?

Ive frequently brought up to my dad that we should take our pregnant dog to the vet to get her checked up and to see how far along her pregnancy she is. He thinks that dog births “are natural” and that many dogs in vietnam (where we got the dog) have births naturally without the care of humans. He basically just ignores my logic that we need to make sure our dog is doing well in her pregnancy and that we need advice from a vet on how to take care of a pregnant dog. What do i say to him to convince him that we need to take our dog to the vet?

I would like to switch my dog to homemade food… what are your experiences?

Recipe for a 15 pound dog
Start with:
·Small amount of vegetable oil in your pan
Add:
·Cooked, skinless chicken 1/10 cup
·Cooked Brown rice 1/5 cup
·Cooked Peas 10 grams
·Cooked pumpkin 50 grams
·Pinch of salt
Add Children multi vitamin/mineral to finished food

·Ground chicken
·Ground beef
·4% small curd cottage cheese
·2 cups quaker oats soaked in low sodium chicken broth
·peas
·string beans
·2 tablespoons salmon or fish oil (health food store or break open capsules from grocery store)
·2 eggs
·2 boiled yams or sweet potatoes -this is great protein and helps keep everything moist.
Mix together and make into meatballs the size of your dogs portion. Bake them at 350 until they are completely done. Freeze into bags and warm up in microwave until warm and serve. They should love it and it is all digested so there is very little waste and smell.

Dog Food Recipe
Ingredients
·8 tablespoons corn oil
·2 kilos chicken backs and necks
·4 liters water
·2 large cups baby cabbage chopped
·2 cups carrots chopped
·Parsley 5 strings
·3 liters water (chicken broth works great)
In a large kettle or pot, heat up 4 tablespoons of oil over medium heat. Add in the chicken pieces and brown them on all sides evenly. Remove the chicken and reserve. Add 1 cup of water to pot and deglaze it over medium heat. Make sure to loosen all the scrapings of browned bits. Add these dripping to the chicken and reserve this.
In the same pot, heat up the remaining oil over medium heat. Add in the baby cabbageand carrots and cook until baby cabbage are transparent. Add in the reserved chicken with the drippings, parsley, remaining water, and bring all this to a boil. Reduce the heat and let it simmer covered for 2 hours.
To obtain stock, strain the mixture and let it cool down to room temperature. Refrigerate. Remove any fat from the top surface. This can be used within several days or freeze and use in portions.
To make soup, remove all the chicken parts and serve the vegetables and broth over kibbles.
Turkey and Vegetable Mix
·two pounds of ground turkey and a bag of chopped
·mixed vegetables
I choose turkey because it’s easier to digest than beef. (Using fresh veggies is actually a better idea because they have more minerals and vitamins in them.) This made a day’s meals for my little Beagle. How much you’ll need to make will depend on the size of your dog. You can always make up a big pot of this recipe, then refrigerate the leftovers. You can refrigerate the leftovers for up to a week. Then, for his or her next meal, just take out the desired amount and microwave it until it’s just warm……..
please add your own recipies

How can i get my dog to gain weight after changing the dog food several times?

My dog does not do much physical activity, and had always had a narrow end since puppy hood. Ive tried switching his food several times, but he still has not gained weight, and sometimes gets sick from different kinds of foods. He eats food fine, and has a strong appetite. He doesn’t have worms or any health problems…is there a recipe that i can make for him that will help him put on a few pounds? Please help!

Have you ever taken your dog to a doggie day care?

I’m going to start taking mine a couple times a month while I run errands etc.. I am terrified to take him! He is like my baby and I’m freaking out but I know he will have a blast! How did your dog do at a day care and how did you do bringing them the first time?

Dog day-care centers in Japan?

hello everybody, I need to find out where I can read about dog day-care center in Japan. A friend of mine, is coming to visit me and she is thinking to bring her doggie. From Japan to Spain, I think it would be a very hard travel for the doggie, and would like to inform her about Japanese dog day-care center. I can not tell you the city where she lives, so, I would need information about all around Japan.
Thanks a lot.
