Dog Doctor Questions

Daniel Said:

2 dog questions: How often should i bathe him and what are some good non-grain dog foods?

We Answered:

If you are using a good dog shampoo then you can bath your dog as often as you want. As for the food, any kibble needs to have some type of grain to bind it together. So you won't find very many without it. Canned on the other hand does not need any binder but the down side of canned is that you are paying a whole lot of money for water. The ingredient list of a canned dog food often has water as the first ingredient. That means it is the most abundant ingredient. $60 for 33 pounds is very expensive. Most super premium kibbles (canidae, innova, wellness, etc) are around a dollar a pound

Heidi Said:

Does it anger you when people post questions about a pet instead of taking them to the doctor?

We Answered:

I agree. If your pet is vomiting blood or has been hit by a car, common sense (and love for the animal) would tell you to bring it to a vet. The not-so-serious symptoms such as "my cat won't use the litterbox" or "my dog ate a small piece of chocolate" are more appropriate for this page.

But there are a lot of people out there that take in pets, despite the fact that they are not financially ready. Those are probably the people posting questions as well as the younger users.

I feel you, but whatcha gonna do? These people have found themselves as a pet owner some way or another, so we put up with their cluelessness and help out. Afterall, that's what Answers is for. I'd assume that if enough people answered with "BRING IT TO THE VET" the message may get across and they'll listen.

I have 2 questions about my dog.Please help.?

We Answered:

I would take her to a vet. It sounds like it may be an inner ear infection, or vestibular disease..
The nightmares may be a part of the same problem.

Peter Said:

my dog is vommitting a lot, how do i know if i should take him to the doctor or not?

We Answered:

I'd get going now, if he's been vomiting for half a day he faces the threat of dehydration.
He could have gotten into the trash, antifreeze, someone could have tossed poison to him, were you feeding a recalled food?
Better safe than sorry.
