K9 Advantix Side Effects?
Today I used K9 Advantix topical flea prevention on my 40lb dog. After I put it on her, she began pacing around the house and has been completely uninterested in anybody all day, she just wants to curl up in any strange corner she can find. Why is she acting this way? Is she having an allergic reaction to this product? She acted a little strange last time but I didnt think anything of it, this time...i'm not so sure. Should I stop using this product?
Any suggestions are appreciated, thanks.

Thinking about fostering an adoptable dog?
Before you start fostering it's also important you have all the necessary supplies. A quick visit to a pet store can get you everything you'll need. I found that out with the first animal I fostered. I had forgotten to get a litterbox! Luckily, it was easily remedied. ( http://aquaworldpittsburgh.com )

Top 10 dog care essentials
I disagree with one thing. Do not ask your vet about what to feed your dog. They are not trained on nutrition. Learn how to read a dog food panel. Compare ingredients. Your local pet supply store should be able to help with this better than your vet. Beware of online oppinions. Remember dog food companies will all tell you that their food is the best. Beniful is a perfect example. The comercials tell you i... (continued)

Embrace your dog, just not literally
I have had dogs in the past that I would agree with the no hugging, but we have a pit bull that, especially with children, actually snuggles up to your chest like he wants you to hug him. I have never had a dog like him other than another pit that we used to have. Is it just the breed? I have noticed that they tend to be overly affectionate, especially the males and more with children, or at least ours have been. I... (continued)

Feeding people food to dogs
I don’t feed my dogs people food because even if a certain ingredient is in their dog food, it may only be a small amount and too much might not be good for them. I’m not a dog nutritionist so I leave it to the experts and only feed a natural dog food I can trust with ingredients I know are good like real meat as the first ingredient and also with blueberries, garbanzo beans, etc. in the mix. My dogs don’t do well with grains so we feed Alpha (natural balance) but each dog is different.

Feeding a puppy
IMHO, from my experience you don’t necessarily have to feed different foods for puppies and adults. A few natural brands have an all life-stages philosophy and manufacture food you can raise your dog on and never have to go through the process of switching when they reach “adulthood” and possibly have to deal with all the digestion and diarrhea issues that go along with that. In the wild, puppies and adult dogs ... (continued)

I have a healthy indoor cat. Just recently, I'd say in the past two weeks I have noticed he is licking his hind leg and right side of his torso, leaving him a bit bald. What home remedy can I use on him. I have used vitamin A, please advice is that was a good idea. Aslo he like water, so I bathed him with warm water, no shampoo. Your feedback is very important to me.
Thank you

Hacking
5 days ago I was surprised with a 3 month old adorable female schnauzer. Everything is going great. I took her to her kennels vet for a 72hr. follow up check and was told evertything looked good. She was hacking a lttle when I first got her, and now seems to do it more. Nothing comes up. It hasn't affected her appetite, activity, although it wakes her sometimes. When I mentioned it to the vet, he said she was... (continued)
