Just use the 5-gallon bucket/trashcan method. They try to climb on something that rotates in order to eat peanut butter then fall into the bucket/trashcan which has a few inches of water where they drown. google it.

I have been using that but I feel bad for having them drown for a while. Something that instantly crushes the skull or spine is more of what I'm looking for.

The vet will know which shots your puppy needs, you're not going to come in with a list.

All puppies will need multiple doses of the D2APPL/others, then rabies at about 6 months.

Depending on where you live other vaccines may be mandatory or highly recommended, like leptospirosis. Bordetella is also highly recommended.

Just google "puppy vaccination schedule".

Distemper series and rabies are considered core. Lyme is good if you plan to go camping or hunting with your dog, or otherwise expose them to areas with a lot of ticks, even if you use flea/tick repellant. Bordetella is for kennel cough and should be given to dogs that will be going to dog parks, kennels, etc. - areas with lots of other dogs. Most boarding facilities and daycares require it. Lepto prevents leptospirosis, which is a very shitty zoonotic disease acquired by drinking water contaminated by infected wildlife - so another "outdoorsy" dog vaccine.

If I were to crop my doberman's ears should it be before their vaccines or after

u like?

left one seems psyched and confused, right one seems to be uncomfortable but trying to play nice for the camera and the one in the back looks like he's genuinely enjoying the time

does it kinda feel like a billard ball?

then it's probably Bakelite, an old but very high quality plastic that isn't produced anymore because its too expensive

>>2420903
Mmmm kind of?

It feels fragile but is actually strong as hell. I can't snap it.

He is almost posing for these pics
I'm no from this country so I have never seen one of these suckers

he should be fine. it looks like he got food poisoning. still take him in because im just a dude on the internet for fucks sake.

can you call the emergency vet and get an opinion from them? i think waiting the extra two hours would be better than driving 4 hours with a sick dog.

>my dog

Thumbs up for not anthropomorphizing your pet. Too bad you didn't keep that up throughout the remainder of your post.

People using poison baits for anything larger than a roach outside of a building are morons, plain and simple.

There's literally nothing that can be done about the target animals they are trying to get rid of in New Zealand. They are just going to have to let nature balance itself out.

>killed by 1080 poison
Well thank god they dint use 4k poison.

How do they know it didn't die of illness or internal bleeding after a fight or eating toxic plants by accident?
How are people making fortunes off dead poisoned animals?

fear not

It is abusive. Chemically induced high affects different species in different ways. Typically animals will respong with fear, aggression, or both as they do not understand what is happening to them.

Now, that said there are some species in the wild that get high intentionally. Dolphins do it by bumping their noses against puffer fish to get some of the venom. They even knock the puffer fish around between them like a group of teenagers passing a joint. Birds, especially magpies, are known to eat spoiled fruit (apples) to get drunk.

I have done it with my tiel.
I dont think its right, and its abusive.
My bird seem to like it, she stays very calm, like to eat a lot (i wonder why) and is even more receptive to petting, but you cant guarantee your animal will like, and bad trips are a thing.

I dont do it anymore btw, nothing wrong came out of it, but the animal has absolutely no choice on the matter and is unfair to them.

It not gonna kill it nor its going to leave permanent damage or scars, but remember that weed causes paranoia and increases your heartbeat, so be aware of your pet temperament and health problems.

animal abuse

anyone who says otherwise (ie youtube comments) are fucking retards and kill their pets off within 2 years

>Say something nice about her.
I have at least two pictures you posted saved and I wish it was my doggo.

Heck, I wish I could have a a doggo in general. Fucking life circumstances.

She's pretty photogenic. I need take more.

Sorry about no doggo though. Be patient. Better to have a dog you can spend time with and live than to have a lonely dog waiting for you all day in a little apartment. You're doing good, anon. You'll be rewarded.

>conveniently leaving out all the parts where I describe how I have the time and facilities to work with the dog and provide it with exercise

I like memes too but pls I could just use some extra pointers here

this is a standard bait of [me and gf, rented apartment, first dog, working breed] yaddayadda don't wait for responses really.
Information is it's a full time job for 3 months at least and after that, if you go "I need to work at least 9 hours and, like, eat. See ya doggo" - separation anxiety and half the training is lost.

Why don't you just pour Draino down your drains and kill them off?

>>2420109
Does that work?

>>2420116

It should. Drain flies live and lay their eggs in the hair and fibers that get stuck in the drains. Get rid of that stuff and the flies usually leave completely or disappate.

My favorite was animal cops. I really hate the dog and cat 101's, they were just too fucking vague and would make every breed sound perfect or simply leave shit out if it didn't sound good. I guess they have some new show where they follow BYBs that breed multipoos and corkies and shit, and follow a person looking to buy one of the dogs. The intent is just a cute show I guess for people who already bought too many cockerpoos and can't have the experience of buying another puppy. But it was so infuriating, every middle aged woman at the end of the show when asked why they made their decision, 'it was cute!'. Fucking reee

It happened to all the awesome channels. You can't discover anything on Discovery, it's all CRAB FISHERMAN. You can't learn about mummies on History, it's all I'M NOT SAYING IT WAS ALIENS BUT IT WAS ALIENS. You can't watch lions bang on Animal Planet, it's all LOOK AT THIS HALF DEAD DOG: HOUSTON

Shit sucks. I miss those channels

Everyone does but Mike Judge is a prophet and predicted this would happen.

I might even be tempted to laugh at "Ow, My Balls" when they release it. What has society done to me?
