Anyone know of any bark collars that actually work on a Cat's meow?
I tried some shit that lets out a high pitched noise only animals can hear but I don't think it can pick up his meow.
My cat fucking screeches all day and night and I'm pretty sick of it already.

All the Cat behavior books can tell me is "ignore him and then reward when he's quiet" but the shit doesn't work because all he does is just screech for longer and louder. He's literally cried for 3 hours non stop.

Thanks /an/

So what happens after that 3 hours?

It DOES work, you just have to be patient and have more willpower than your cat. You CAN wait him out. Eventually he will stop, whether it's minutes or hours.

And yeah, it may take a LONG time for your cat to shut up. Just remember that every time you engage with him when he's yowling, you've just made it harder for you next time because he learns that he just has to screech for long enough and loud enough.

maybe he has some sort of issue, you need help him

this is bullshit, my cat does the same shit and has his entire life and I've always put in ear plugs and ignored him

The vet we visited encouraged us to do it before 6 months and said that makes the process easier/cheaper. I'm seeing conflicting opinions wherever I look into it.

I don't want to stunt my dog's development.

Literally every single professional breeder(as in not BYBs) has told me it's best to wait until later, because the dog is still developing and its sex hormones are critical to that development.
It's like a human getting their sex organs removed before they hit puberty. It's going to fuck up their growth and development.

Just do it later and keep and eye on them so they don't piss and hump everything.
>>
>>2236551

What is "later"?
>>
>>2236541
The literature is not completely in consensus on when to spay or neuter your animals, but in general, 6 months at the latest will provide the most benefit in terms of prevention of mammary cancer.

The only real developmental issue associated with spays, regardless of age, is an increased risk of obesity, which is easy enough to prevent. There is some evidence of other issues, but generally speaking your dog will not suffer for being spayed at 6 months. Don't forget, shelter animals are commonly spayed as early as 3 months, with no ill effect.

Your vet is right.

My dog died on 10/06/16. Was sick that day and had been throwing up. Happened before so thought I'd take him to the vet the following morning. Put him in my room to take a shower then proceeded to make myself dinner. Go in my room and I didn't see him with my other dog in their bed. I go to corner of my bed where he likes to hang out and there I saw my bestfriend lying lifeless on the floor. But the strange part is that he had a puddle of blood from his mouth. I don't quite understand what happened? Any of yall know what caused his death? Anyways took him to go get cremated so that we can be together no matter what.

Yawn. Try harder

Because I don't have over a grand in savings or property, and already have a mutt that's just fine.

I want a king shepherd or German shepherd eventually though, and my fiance wants a borgi. We're just waiting until we have our own place (property) and enough money to ensure the breeding is done properly.

I've found 6 so far.

Are these things safe for my cat to play with? She seems to like hunting them.

So I know I should avoid supermarket and cheap kibble like Purina, Royal Canin, Iams and Pedigree, but the pup I have has been fed with Royal Canin.

What's a great brand that is good but still affordable? I hear Taste of the Wild is a common and recommended pick here in /an/, but from a quick browse to the nearest store they only have Orijen, is it better but more expensive?

Also, plan on doing the gradual switch over the course of the week, but I was told I should go slower, so what's the best?

Orijen is a great food, one of the best. I'd say it's better than Taste of the Wild, personally. That isn't to say Taste of the Wild is bad, it's just a tier below top-tier.

And yeah, Orijen will be more expensive. If you can afford it though, I don't see why not to feed your pupper Orijen.

As for how slow to make the switch, for going from shit-tier food to top-tier, high protein food, you might want to take 2 weeks to do it just because it's such a big change and your dog's digestive system isn't used to all that digestible protein.
>>
>>2234830
upon checking it's a bit high on my budget, but it seems I found a place that has taste of the wild

does the "flavor" matter? It seems dogadvisor uses the "safest" flavor so I guess I can follow that.
>>
>>2234834
Acana is also another top-tier food, and it's a bit less expensive than Orijen I believe. Still pretty expensive though (costs more that Taste of the Wild.)

As for the flavor, some dogs have allergies so the alternate flavors (different meat sources) can be necessary for them. Other than that though, it doesn't really matter, it just comes down to preference.

Now that there are so many invasive species of the mosquito there's really no reason not to send them to extinction. They are, without a doubt, a disruption.

In the US we have so many invasive species from Asia...horrible varieties of mosquitoes, stinkbugs, fruitflies..do they have any from us?
