What is the Chow Chow (rough-coated) like?
The 'songmao dog' usually means the Chow Chow. Fierce-looking but actually docile and quiet, it rarely barks. But it is not as tame as other pets - stubborn, it won't be pulled back even by its owner, and is hard to train. It snores in sleep, hard for light sleepers; its thick coat sheds heavily, tough to manage in shedding season.
How can I make a Doberman like its owner more?
Start raising the Doberman young, when pups are more dependent and trusting. Spend time, give favorite treats, and pet it to learn your scent and voice. Take it out to play fetch, ball, and tug - it bonds as a partner. Proper training builds trust and obedience.
I have a Teddy puppy and need to give metronidazole tablets; what dose? I bought 0.2g tablets.
The dog's loose teeth are from tartar causing periodontitis; regular dental cleaning is needed, and metronidazole can help with gum infection but use a pet-specific product dosed by weight. Daily brushing and dry food reduce tartar.
A one-month-old Pekingese, home four or five days, urinates a lot but won’t defecate; gave enema at night, then next day listless, poor eating/drinking, just lies in the cage.
No defecation may be constipation or lack of intake; probiotics and soft food help. Lethargy could signal infectious disease, so watch for other signs and avoid home enemas; see a vet.

What are the signs of a Scottish Shepherd (Collie) in heat?
A female Collie in heat is restless, barks at night, eats less, and may wander off; she has pink-red discharge and a swollen vulva. Males urinate everywhere and mount others. Fights can occur over mates, so leash tightly and consider spaying after heat if not breeding.
How do you train a Golden Retriever to heel?
Heel training combines correction and rewards: leash the dog, carry treats, and train in an open area. When it surges ahead, pull it back to your side and reward; praise and treat intermittently when it walks calmly beside you.
How to disinfect after canine parvovirus?
Parvovirus is fragile outside the body and can be killed by UV light and disinfectants like 84, hypochlorous acid, or pet-specific products. Move the dog outside, mop with diluted disinfectant, soak the bed, wipe the cage, and spray corners, then wait 15 to 20 minutes and ventilate.
