frontline is offered in different weight categories. get the kind for whatever your dog weighs.

Have you tried shaving the puppy and applying a thin laquer of wood varnish? An added bonus: Puppy fur, when spun, makes great yarn for mittens and pussy mufflers

Whatever you give him, don't use advantage/advantix products unless you want your dog to experience this.

He stopped EVER doing this when I stopped advantage. Has never done it again. Frontline is pretty much your only option, but for a 4 month old puppy, why not just rub diatomaceous earth all over him?

I would go easy on chemicals until at least 6mo.

Also, I live in Australia ( melbourne) if that makes any difference.

My dogs have been on Roundworm/Hookworm treatment, but not Heartworms.

>>2083413
Heartworm testing is a must, the actual treatment is expensive and uncomfortable for the dog. You know what you want from your vet, feel confident in saying, "Thanks, but no thanks."

I've only ever given my dogs heartworm treatment once every now and then. Are you saying this is bad? Wtf. It's like $60 for a 3 month usage of advocate and I have 2 dogs so I spread the usage out. Not sure if fear mongering to make money?

The allergy is usually to the cats saliva, which the cat then covers its coat with whilst grooming. Coat them sheds and leaves bits around the house.

Sphynxs will still groom and lick their coat, but due to the lack of fur, the saliva shouldn't stick around as long. Especially as you're supposed to wash this breed, whereas you wouldn't with other cats unless it was a dire need.

I wouldn't call them hypoallergenic, but they may be easier to cope with than other cats.

THIS. The allergy is to saliva, but shedding hair spreads the dander. You might also like breeds that don't have guard hairs, since that's the type of hair that does most of the shedding.

Devon Rex still has some guard hairs that are all crinkly like pubic hairs and not so great.

Cornish Rex has no guard hairs at all and feels super soft without any shedding.

Do they need to be bathed?

I agree with Linkola on the need for human extinction.

>>2083348
I think boiling it down to "best" or "worst" is way too polarizing and simple. It's a lot more complex, and honestly, subjective.

I personally think humans are absolutely amazing in many ways, and also pretty bad in others.

Being able to use tools and plan ahead allowed humans to not only destroy environments efficiently, but do it on purpose. So probably not very good.

Although it is good to have big brain and opposable thumbs.

he just started learning he can use his beak. do correct this behavior tho or it will get worse. tap him on the beak and yell NO everytime he does it it may seem harse but it helps.

>>2083328
and reward him for not doing it at the right moments

>>2083328
>>2083329
thanks ill try. i thought yelling would just make it worse but i will try

Good kitty. I fucking hate birds. Noisy fuckers should all be shot.

Is it dead? Did you k- AAAGH FUCK YOU STUPID CAT SOMEONE GET ME A NET

"it's okay when dogs do it"

You're an idiot. Get him fixed.

>>2083286
Give him a hand(y)

>who's very frustrated that he hasn't mated
no, you're very frustrated that you haven't mated. hire a hooker or pick up the ugly chick at last call.

>>2083247
>not-cats

I doubt it will be very successful but at least they're trying. How many are they releasing? I bet none of them last a year.

Visited the National Aquarium in Baltimore, it was quite fun. Rushed through it, spent about an hour and a half there, but could easily have stayed another 2 hours

>>2083233

Pls

Sounds pretty normal for them. Has he been more active before and has only recently started sleeping a lot?

A bit of background info:
We are both students but money is not a problem and neither is time. However, I will go abroad for a year next year, and gf will graduate and then we don't know where she will work.
We have been debating to get a dog for over a year now and she says she will handle it, even on her own, and that things will work out. But I'm not sure if she actually can handle it, especially when I'm away.

Suddenly it just seems like the timing is all wrong but then again, plenty of people have dogs and manage their daily life, and when is eher the right time for such things?

You're not really giving us any information about your activity level or how much time you have for it.
Jack russels are very high energy. That's really the only concern I have.

>>2083066
I'm thinking you should wait a bit. Is it a puppy? Jack russels are also high energy and will require quite a bit of extra attention. People who have dogs and full time jobs usually have dogs that aren't young and high energy dogs. If it's a puppy, you ARE going to have to have somebody there most of the time. If both of you are at school all day, it isn't going to work out very well.

If your dog is aggressive you should keep it on a leash and/or muzzle it when there is a possibility to be around other dogs

Work with a professional trainer, I can tell from the tone of your post you won't be able to accomplish this without help.

>>2083018
put a muzzle on your dog when you go out, or your dog is going to end up dead. real talk. and what this guy said >>2083227

>>2082934
Try "Dino dino: world of the special egg men"

>>2082934
Try "Mystery chompers: the untold story of the reptilian rebels"

Check out this, perhaps?

I have no idea about how good the American one of it is, but the APDT here is okay. Or, well, I know those registered with it are. There might be advice to be found on the site, or you may be able to link up with a local trainer for advice.

I got trained through Petco and I've been teaching classes for 2 years now. Check your local petco or petsmart
