Border Collies are wonderful. My bitch is so smart and has a great personality. They're definitely not the dog for everyone though as they're much more high maintenance than a golden or a companion breed.

I also like livestock guardian breeds a lot. The instincts they have are amazing. I want to have a farm in the future so hopefully I'll get to have a pair of Great Pyrs.

can i put my wiener in there?

I do the same thing any of you would do

I get someone to take a picture of either me pretending to kiss it, or letting it kiss my butt, and I post it on facebook, because I and all of you are secretly normalfags who would do shit like that

like with humans, if they have a good quality diet, supplements aren't usually needed.

I give my dog ginger before car rides so she doesn't hurl everywhere.

She also gets Green Vibrance in her food a few times a week. I bought it for my smoothies but I heard it's good for dogs too.

My dog only stays in the backyard which is medium size. I never give him any vitamins, I don't think he needs them, he looks very healthy. And the neighbours who let their dogs roam on the street probably don't give supplimens to their dogs either, yet the doggies live many years.

just let him fuck you or your girlfriend.

>>2080273
Why would you want to breed him?

>>2080282
Because I feel like it and I'd like to learn more about the science of watching dogs fuck each other

Dude that's rape and not funny :(

get her in the bathroom and try in there

It's almost like a vet can't legally prescribe medication without a doctor-patient relationship and would want to actually find out if your cat really has ear mites and not one of the several other things that could cause itchy ears full of debris! Those weird terrible vets and not wanting to just treat things blindly ha! ha!

Just go to the vet.

The vet will ensure the correct diagnoses, prescribe the correct medicine, and show you how to treat. You won't need to sedate. They will show you the correct techniques for restraint and easy access to the ears.

If you do grab her, please whatever you do, do not put anything down her ear canal thinking you are helping to clean it out. You will just be shoving the mites down and causing a blockage, creating more problems.

Sometimes vet clinics will have vet nurse hours, where you can just go see the vet nurse. You can even call them and ask if you can see the nurse. Should be cheaper and the nurse will show you correct techniques

>All I can figure is that it fell off an end table and hit its back on the edge of a cardboard box under it.
Wat

>>2079063

There's no other explanation I can think of. There's no feces on the table itself. The cat often gets into fights with another male in the house. It may have attacked him while he was sleeping and caused him to fall off in the scuffle. All I know is that I've got a fucked up cat.

It's worth noting he's not vocalizing or indicating that he's in any sort of pain. He's clearly confused as to why he can't walk but docile and calm. None of the local veterinarians are picking up their fucking phone because it's after 5pm so he's probably going to have to spend 12 hours in a pet taxi.

It can't feel pain.

I wish I was bees

I've heard that using Top-bar hives instead of the regular Langstroth helps with mite infestations. The theory is that the combs are more compact and that forces the bees to be smaller and smaller bees are harder to infest with mites.

There are also some essential oils you can use to kill mites. Wintergreen, tea tree and patchouli will all work. You can mix it into some sugar syrup to feed the bees or just put a napkin covered with it on or near the hive so that the bees can dose themselves. You'd have to look up dosing quantity though. I don't know the ratios that are safe and that work.

What is a mammel?

Just got home from the vet and having a sad and anxiety filled day, /an/. My little puppy got too excited running around and slipped and broke her leg. They didn't splint it or anything at the vet, because apparently the break is still aligned and they don't want to mess with it. But we have to keep her crate bound for a week and bring her back to see if she needs a rod put in her leg.

I've never had a pet break a bone before, and I had to hold her this morning while she was screaming in pain. I'm super down and stressed.

Anyone have cute pics of their dogs to share with us today in general? Also has anyone ever had a puppy break a leg before? How did you keep them from hurting themselves more?

>>2073833
My dog(pit mix) eats it's own shit and I can't stop it.

If I catch her doing it I holler at her then run out into the yard to pick it up before she goes back to finish it off, but I can't be at home 24/7 watching over her.
Her fucking ribs are showing, I think she has worms(seeing as the fucking worm medicine makes her shit them out, and she gobbles the eggs right back up......)

The other dog does nothing of the sort.

>>2074088
She'll stop eating the shit once her nutrition is alright.

Dogs only eat shit because A) they like the feel or taste or B) They're desperate.

This one is a case of B) Because the worms are fucking up her digestion. Make sure to removes the worms entirely and don't keep the fucking dog near where she shits. Keep her indoors while you're gone or something.

Get him fixed. No question about it. Some breeders will make you agree you will fix the animal.

On that, make sure you research breeders as well. Don't be afraid to drive or travel to get a pooch from a high quality breeder. This is especially important to dalmatians, which do have some health issues.

Feed him as good of a food as you can afford. We all have our budgets, yeah, but do some research and figure out the best brand at your price point. Think of food as being proactive. The better diet you feed him, the less of a chance he'll get sick.

If you are worried about "messing something up" regarding training or discipline, then consider hiring a professional trainer. They'll make home visits and teach you and your family how to doge.

Also, one last word of the wise: dalmatians are SUPER high energy dogs. He'll require lots of walks and exercise and time. Just make sure you and your family understand dalmatians are a TON of work.

Any reason he wants a Dalmatian in particular? Never had one, but I hear that they can be aggressive.

Try and steer him towards a good beginner breed, like a lab or a golden retriever. They're easier to train, but make sure you stay on top of it because most of them can end up in shelters as a hyperactive mess.

This guy pretty much nailed it>>2080101
If you are interested in a male I highly suggest a ULA dog, as all dalmatians have kidney stone issues, but it is more apparent in males. A low protein diet is also recommended for this as well.
The breeder should also provide you with paperwork from a BAER hearing test. This is important because like many white purebred dogs dalmatians are known to have hearing issues.
They are a high energy dog especially when they are puppies. If they are trained and socialized they become well adjusted as they get older.
I suggest you check with Dalmatian club of America and any local clubs in your area to start the process of selecting a reputable breeder. Good luck.

>Whats the best way to kill this nigger?

Uh, don't? A humane mouse trap is guaranteed to work. It's a little box (usually plastic) with a one-way door. Once the mouse enters, it's trapped. You just take the box outside and set the mouse free, preferably a great distance from your home.

These traps aren't costly at all. They might run you $10 at the most, and they can be continuously reused.

Bait it with peanut butter or anything that has a strong odor. The mouse should climb right in.

Don't kill the mouse, you jerkass. Just trap it and set it free somewhere. It's not going to bite you. Mice are extremely timid and won't resort to biting unless you actually put them in a corner and start poking them with your finger or some shit.

The destruction of the forests throughout most of europe, much of central north america, and all throughout the amazon suggest otherwise.

Deforestation is a huge problem recognized by a lot of environmentalists. This is absolutely not the time period with the most trees.

>>2079874
There is no way that's true. Considering how much space is being used for human sprawl and the fact that humans inhabit basically all the forested regions, this is simply a physically impossible claim. And there are more people in the rainforests now than there ever have been in recorded history, so at the very least for rainforests you can be 100% sure this claim is false.

>>2079874
>Some on /out/ claim that there are more trees on earth today than there has ever been in history.

I don't see how that could be possible. Our current population is ridiculously higher than it has been in any point in history. Add to that industrialization. We have to cut away forests to make room for power plants, refineries, housing units, etc. There's a lot of industrialization that goes into keeping a city running. And it's not as if populations in developed countries live within tiny Crackjack housing.
