I know if you trim a persons hair it will grow back faster but would this work on a dog? More specifically on a havanese because their hair always is growing. Also One of my dogs hair grows faster then the other one. Could that be because one is a little older or what could cause this? They are both very healthy and on the same diet. One of them is 4 years and the other is 1 year old.

Here is a pic of my pit bull. Do you think he is mixed with something and if so, what? There should be two pictures on there.

How long can a dog be left alone while I'm at work? I just want to get other peoples opinions. I work long hours sometimes so I have ny three little dogs loose in the kitchen with an area for playing, eating and drinking, sleeping and paper in the corner incase they have to go to the bathroom.my pit bull however stays in his crate because he doesn't go to the bathroom as often. They always get lots of exercise before I leave and right when I come home. I can't leave work on break, ( we get a 30 minute break and I live 20 minutes away from work) and I can't have anyone come let them out either. They are always fine and I don't see the problem with it but some people say I'm terrible for leaving my dogs while I'm at work. What's your opinion?

Since were expecting a harsh winter and two of my dogs have short thin coats and quite a bit of energy, I got a treadmill for them to jog on. My pit bull just loves it and acts like he wants to be on it all the time. My jack Russell also likes it but she gets bored with it after a few minutes. At a steady jogging pace how long should I let them be on it? I started out with just 5 minute sessions once a day, then moved up to a 10 minute session for about a week and now my pit bull is up to 15 minutes, but acts like he could go on for much longer. I put my jack Russell on for about 13 minutes at a time because she gets bored with it. Also, just so you all know.. I still take them on a daily walk and play fetch with them all the time but I work during the day a lot so I don't take them on a very long walk because it gets dark early.

My vet told me if a dog has heartworms and you give them heartguard, the dog will die. like literally just fall over dead. Is this true? I've done some research and have found if a dog has heartworms and they are given heartworm meds it will only kill the younger worms but it never said it would harm the dog. have you ever heard of this happening? FYI my dogs don't have heartworms I'm just curious if this is true.

I would like to know some good activities to do with dogs indoors. I have an 8 month old female jack Russell and she is very active! When she gets too hyper after I've been gone at work, she will pick on my other dogs. I need an indoor activity for me to do with her to help drain her energy. I walk her at least once a day, play fetch with her all the time and she plays with my other dogs a lot too. I have been teaching her tricks lately so she knows how to be calm and listen to me but she prefers to run.. non stop. I don't have a treadmill but would like to get one eventually. What are some good ways to make her tired in the colder months when we can't get out for as many walks?

I was at my friends house and her brother was drinking and decided to jump in the neighbors pool. Me and my friend tried to get him out of the pool and the neighbor turned on the lights and started yelling about how she called the cops and they would b here any second. The cops came and said we had criminal trespassing charges and the next day gave us papers saying when we had court. I am already on probation for an underage I got last year. My question is, should I plead not guilty since we were just trying to get my friends brother out of the neighbors pool? If so could we get in more trouble if they would find us guilty?

i got a female havanese puppy but i am not sure how long i should wait to breed her. the people i got her from said they breed theres when they are a year old. i could not find anything saying it isnt a good idea to breed them when they are that young because they are a small breed and they are about done growing at that time. should i wait until she is a year or a year an a half?

I have 7 chickens that are about 11 weeks old and they are all doing good but some of them have pale legs. i only have 2 thats legs are the right color. they are all acting just fine but they have had pale legs pretty much all there life. also they sometimes get diarrhea but im not sure why. they have enough room and everything so i was wondering if there is something i can do about it. i am taking them to the fair in about a month and i want them to look good.

PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!! thanks for everything.
