Question: DS: Are your dogs fixed?
In light of a certain troll with anger management issues’ question, I’ll ask a less obnoxious version.
All the dogs I care for are not really “mine” but most of them are. The majority of dogs in my neck of the woods belong to owners who actually take them to the vet. My female cats are fixed (it’s significantly harder to control a cat in heat and I got them that way). I think the majority of people with dogs should fix their dogs, and I understand why rescues preform early age spay/neuter despite health risks. Let’s face it, not all dog owners are going to be perfectly responsible despite our best wishes. If you can appropriately control your intact dog, I think that’s fine though.

Answer by landi_lou
Neither of my males are fixed as they are involved in conformation.
As for toys, they each have one or two squeaky stuffies but that’s it.
Question: What’s the best way to teach adult dogs (with no cat experience) to be cat friendly?
We have recently adopted two 5-year-old collies who were raised in a suburban area confined to a fenced yard with no other animals. They are now on a 48-acre horse ranch with horses and cats and other critters you’d expect to find on a ranch roaming freely about. These dogs are gentle in nature, but can’t resist chasing a fleeing cat. Both dogs and cats are dear to us. Any suggestions on how to teach our dogs that “cats are friends, not food!”

Question: Did you know there are dead dogs and cats in your dog’s food?
When my beloved kitty became sick with a brain tumor, I began doing research into why this happened and have been shocked beyond belief by what I’ve discovered goes into “pet” food. Not only is it diseased farm animals, road kill, cancerous tissue, cysts, puss, feces… but also euthanized dogs and cats including any flea collars, tags & plastic bags they were delivered in as well as the drugs used to kill them to the point vets are reporting it’s taking more and more of the drugs to “put them down” because they are becoming resistant to it from eating it all the time.
So why isn’t this all over the news if true? Just watch all those pet food commercials…it’s all about $ $ $

Yep, 2 of the links have been “taken down”.. sorry. They had very graphic photos and one undercover video.
As you can see, some people refuse to believe this can be true. It is “old news” to some, and to you I apologize, but the great majority of people are unaware of it. I am on a mission to spread the word of this horrible truth and hopefully spare others the grief of losing their pet to the diseases and cancers this causes. Those of you who know the truth, please help spread the word to everyone you know who love their pets enough to care.

Answer by Julie
Two of those links don’t work, two of them are unreliable news sites.
It’s IMPOSSIBLE to put euthanized pets into pet food… the drug used to euthanize them would kill the animals eating them. They are disposed of in an incinerator.
In any case, this doesn’t affect me- I feed evo to my pets and I can see every ingredient clearly listed on the label- no “by products” or “meat meal” in that!

This is in the USA. I am curious what the laws are in other countries. No rendered pets? but what about “by-products” that can include euthanized “4D” farm animals (dead, diseased, disabled, dieing) and the drugs used to kill them, and anything deemed unfit for human consumption.
Amazing how many people think this is not possible…
I used to be a vet assistant too and this IS true and it IS legal. It called “meat and bone meal” or “animal digest” on the pet food label.

Here’s another really good video explaining what animal by-products are and meat and bone meal:
For those of you aware of this and feeding non by-product and meat and bone meal free foods to your pets, please do not be offended. I am trying the best I know how to inform people who don’t know about this or refuse to believe it can be happening.
Few people realize that the most common cat foods out there are little more than flavored corn filler and full of poisons that cause kidney failure, diabetes and cancer in our beloved pets.
Please help me spread the word!

Answer by Everycat
er, this doesn’t apply to the UK by the way, just the USA 
For the rabid thumbsdowners, it does not apply to the UK, roadkill does not go into pet food. It goes to landill and euth’d pets are burned en masse. Farm animals tend to be shot not euth’d with overdose of barbiturates and if they are non human food grade they get put back into farm animal food. Farm animals that are euth’d with overdose are incinerated.
Really you Americans need to do your research properly, you just can’t bear to be wrong can you?
The best pet food standards are to be found in Sweden which is where there are much higher animal welfare standards for farm animals than here in the UK or in America,.
America is generally lagging way behind the rest of the western world with animal welfare laws and standards in general.
You won’t like that, but tough cheese babies, it’s true 
Question: What are good toys to keep dogs occupied?
I have a very active 10 month old American Bulldog. When we are home we take her out for walks, dog park, and so on. But when we are at work she is in her crate because I just got her a couple days ago and we are still working on her relationship with the cat and the furniture. I have read that I should give her some “smart toys” to play with that will keep her occupied while we are away, but what kind of toys are considered “smart toys”?
Answer:
Answer by $ arah(APBT owner x6)
Kongs are the best toy for that, hard to destroy and you can stuff them full of food and keep them busy for hours.
Question: What is the smallest domesticated cat? Are there “Toy” breeds like there are in dogs?
Answer:
Answer by Courtney M
As far as I know, there are no “toy” breeds of cats.
As far as size, it depends on their upbringing, for the most part. I’m not sure that there is one smaller than the other.
Ragdolls are precious!!
