Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) for Toys for Active 2 Year Old

If you plan on BUYING another dog, why would you want to breed her? I thought your plan was to get another dog, not to breed one that is WAY too old to have a first litter. Of course she can breed since she isn't spayed, but she is just plain too old to take the risk. BTW, males are castrated, not spayed. Since you didn't know that, breeding should be out the question for you, even if your was 2 years old. Besides that, WHERE do you think you're going to find a 2 year old male that isn't castrated. If you were to get one from Poodle Rescue, it WOULD be castrated before placement. I don't think a reputable breeder is going to just give up one of their intact show dogs just so you can be a BACK YARD BREEDER.

How to prepare for a new dog?

Whenever we get a new Dog its usually not when we plan it, we see the Dog and buy it. The only Dog we planned when getting was my Pomeranian Charlie and my Hound, the other two we just stumbled upon. We usually show the Dog around, and keep it on a leash a few days (or a few months if its a Puppy) since we dont have a fenced in yard, and make sure it interacts well with the other pets and family.

If this is your first Dog (Dont own any other Dogs, I mean), than make sure you have all the basic Dog care tools and things (Like leash, collar (If you know the size of the Dog), food, water and food bowl, brush, etc..

i need some info on toy poddle's.?

Yes, all animals shed - and not all poodles are hypoallergenic - so if you have allergies that is not necessarily the best dog for you. If you have an allergic reaction to dogs now - start treating your allergies don't wait until you get a dog. There is no promise that you will be immune to a poodles (or any dogs) dander (that creates a reaction). So anticipate having the sniffles and go to the doctor for treatments. Then you wont have any problems when you get the dog.

Why would you have to save fur? Do you mean shave? yes - they need to be groomed regurlarly.

Adoption fees vary by shelter depending on the dogs age and condition (ie already spayed / neutered dogs are usually cheaper)

why are my dogs sooo hyper and how can I calm them down?

not to be rude, but nowhere in your schedule there does it show walk-time, or dog-park time. Exercise, exercise, then exercise some more. Tired dogs are good dogs is the motto at my house. Also, you should be crating your dogs at night so they learn to sleep all night, its not healthy for them to be up at all hours. Also, you should be crateing them at intervals throughout the day to teach them an on/off switch for their play. If puppies are allowed to play non-stop, they become addicted to the play, they need it and wont stop. You need to start a new approach for them where you controlt heir play with other dogs. Play time is NOT not not a substitute for exercise and walks. It sounds like time to start a change around your household for your sanity and your dogs sake.

My poor Kitty is SICK! Please Help me figure out why...?

I won't yell at you. I don't agree but I won't yell. She's your cat and that's your decision to make. I wish I could tell you what's making her sick, but i can't. I can tell that making her drink is a good thing so keep doing it. Call the ER vet and ask them about how they want payment. Since it is an emergency place they are more likely to make arrangements for you to pay. I'd take her to the ER and take my chances on how I'm going to pay. Better safe than sorry.

Ok. I see that your last writing was 2 hours ago. I hope that means you're at the vet right now and I'm talking to myself. Maybe you'll come back later and tell us how your kitty is. Ok goodbye.

Which is better Iams or Beneful?

Hello-

Congratulations on rescuing a dog! Adoption is always the best option :-) I would definitely recommend Iams Dog food. I have fed Iams Dog Food long before I worked for The Iams Company, and all three of my dogs are doing very well on it!

For your Maltese, I would recommend the Iams ProAcitve Health Active Maturity Small & Toy Breed. It has PreBiotics that work inside the digestive tract to promote healthy digestion and strong defenses. Iams Active Maturity contains an exclusive antioxidant blend to help keep the immune system of your older small or toy dog at healthy adult levels. It also contains Iams Daily Dental Care that reduces tartar buildup by up to 50% and protein from chicken and egg helps build strong, firm muscles.

Good luck to you-

Does my Red Eared slider have an eye infection?

the white crust is a sign of an eye infection!!! u only need to clean the tank once a month acording to a terrapin book i read but u might be putting too much water conditioner or chlorine reducer into the tank during changes.or maybe if it was living in dirty conditions for too long it may have affected him, keep an eye on him if it doesnt clear after a week or 2 or gets worse then id say take him to a vet but if hes eating well i personaly wouldnt worry, sheading skin is normal mine does it once in a while, its a bit like snakes they do it every so often aswell.

give him a prawn or 2 he will soon cheer up, green veg every now and then is ment to b gr8 4 overall health in turtles,

Good luck!!!

Getting Rats soon, Rat care help?

Mine hate wood chews but they sure do love chewing on their hammocks. Play with them as long as you want and just make sure the food bowl is full. Fruits and veggies every other day, or once a week. If they hide food in the bottom, they most likely will, just be sure you don't give them more because they will hoard it. They VERY seldom need baths but their nails can be horrid. I don't recommend a wooden hide because they will pee on it and it will be nasty. You could just use boxes as the hideouts, then its like a bunch of toys in one. They can lay on top, inside, to hide toys, to hide food, a chew toy, ect. And it makes it more easy to throw it out and get another hide. Good luck!.

I have a 4 month old lab that just went out of control!?

its in all probability commonly used when you consider that he's barely 4 months old. play, like eating, stimulates the urge to flow. attempt taking him out perfect in the previous energetic play and proper after. examine if the urine has any crimson tint to it although, then which would be a urinary tract an infection. replaced into he recently neutered? merely had to put in my 2 cents approximately this, canines are not getting ADHD. thats the hype that some vets who attempt to sell prozac and xanax for canines attempt to persuade you of. in case you think of its submisive peeing (it would desire to be dominance too, merely you are able to tell via different movements your canines doing) attempt a based activity like frisbee as nicely to random play, makes canines concentration on each thing which includes their bladders greater

Was I acting immature for this or is he really neglecting me?

Personally, I don't think you are acting immature. He is. Mature couples should be able to speak about issues that trouble them. This could be a sign about how he will act when he marries you. Usually, a guy will try to impress the girl until marriage and then relax a bit in trying to please them. This man seems to not even put much effort in before marriage.

I understand being tired. But to use that excuse so often triggers an alarm for me. I would greatly reconsider marrying this man. Don't feel like you should settle. Ever. You're still young. Very young and can find someone who will at least listen to your problems or things you are troubled with. Good luck.

Children sleeping with T.v on in the background....?

Get another TV and put it in their room for them to watch at night. I have a TV in my 2 year old sons room and he gets to watch a movie every night, and a special treat for him, he gets to pick out which movie he wants to watch that night! I don't think that if you are controlling what they are watching that it is going to hurt them, or start a bad habbit. The bad habbit is them not sleeping in their rooms. Once it's started its a horrible habbit to break. However, it might be easier since they like the TV so much. A tv in their room might be just want they need to start sleeping in their own room!.

Flying with my 16 month old son who is very active...will not stay still for long periods of time?

if it's during naptime you should be okay. I've travelled with my children before, but when they were under a year or over two. In other words, not old enough to be walking or old enough to understand "no" :D. If you have to take him with you, I suggest carrying on snacks, books, little toys, or a special toy friend. If there is a movie, or you can bring a laptop and play his favorite movie, that is good too. My children usually just sit and watch a movie while we're travelling. Even for a five-hour trip I can usually keep them pretty well amused. Remember kids aren't sitting any more on a 2.5 hour flight than they would watching a movie or listening to you read a story.

Is my 2yr olds behavior normal?

those women are stupid acting like there kids are perfect. EVERY kid and i mean every kid goes through a phase where the act like this to a certain existent. The important thing is every time he does something like this you let him know hes done something wrong... time out, take away a favorite toy, put him in his bed etc.

Young kids really have a hard time sharing and such as toddlers this is normal also there not called the "terrible twos" for nothing, and as long as you reinforce the bad behavior and treat him with the good behavior he will grow out of it!!! He just has to learn right from wrong like everything else.

And if you really are worried about it then you can talk to his doctor and see what she thinks

If we were to end up getting another dog, what would be the best dog for us from this list?

I definitely don't recommend a siberian husky their are beutiful dogs but are very stubborn dogs when it comes to training.

German shepherds are fantastic. They make a great family pet they are also a bit stubborn when puppies but are very inteligent as well as labradors. (Chocolate labs I'm not to fond of their whinny dogs and also are very hard headed.)

Collies are wonderful family dogs. Active but good.

Greyhounds are good dogs too, not recommended with smaller dogs (depending on their history if it is a retired greyhound from the tracks)

Weimeraner are good. In cases I've seen its best to get them young.

Most of the other dogs listed aren't common in a shelter.

I would recommend:

Rottweiler

German Shepherd

Labrador Retiever (yellow or black)

Doberman Pinsher

Mastiff

Great Dane

Good luck with you search.
