Dog care information
New indoor dog care questions?
Hello. We recently got a new dog. She is five years old and already house trained very well. Our previous dog was always an outside dog so having an indoor dog is foreign to us.I know that we need to set up a routine for her. So we were thinking to feed her when we got up around 8 00 or so. Should we only feed her one more time in the day? Just a breakfast and dinner, with a few treats during the day? When should dinner be, because I want her to be able to use the bathroom before we go to bed. She'll sleep inside during the night.Also, another concern is how often should we take her out to do her business, every one or two hours? She doesn't seem to indicate to us when she needs to go outside, so we've just had to play the guessing game.Lastly, when no one is home, should she stay outside? I assume it probably depends on the amount of time we're gone. Like, if we're gone for more than an hour she needs to go outside for sure? We don't want her to have an accident, or worse, have to hold it in forever.I couldn't fine any of this information on the internet, so if anyone has any good sites about indoor dog care, we'd appreciate it Thanks a lot.I guess I should have told everyone that we have a completely fenced in backyard. Wooden fence, 6 or 7 feet tall, with no spacings between the boards.The answers are great so far, thank you
Arthritic Senior dog care?
I am pet sitting for my neighbors. They have a female 9 year old Bullmastiff named " Delilah" . She has arthrits in her front left elbow, and her hips are quite weak. They have " Sea Jerky" treats for me to give to her each day. I have made a bed in my room for her out of a fluffy, cushiony baby blanket, a fleecy blanket, and an old neck pillow for her to lean on. I have a big bowl of fresh, cool, clean water beside the bed and feed her every morning and evening. I take her out into my fenced backyard 6 times a day to lay around in the sun and go urinate and poop. Her area is very clean and comfortable. Is there anything else I should be doing for her? I mean either healthwise, or to make her happier?Thanks so much The " Sea Jerky" treats shes takes contain both glucosamine and chondroitin. It also contains Sea Cucumber Extract, and real beef.

Couple questions about dog care in arid climes?
This will be my first fall and winter in the Arizona desert with Mindy, my German Shepherd dog puppy nearly 15 months and I am hoping for some advice on skin and paw care.Though I am quite sure, she has no fleas or ticks she has been Frontlined, monthly Mindy still continues to often scratch the area around her neck. She has a good quality diet Kirkland Lamb & Rice and I add two large fish oil capsules to her diet, daily. What might we do to help Mindy find relief for her itching? Is there some kind of treatment I could rub her down comb into her fur with?The other question I had was about her paws. When we go for our morning games at the ball field, that is irrigated at night, her paws are, of course, nice and moist. But, as I check them at other times, there is some minor cracking I see, mainly in the heel portion of her paws. Is this a reason for concern? We do some serious hiking, over rocky terrain, for evening workouts and I am just wanting to take whatever precautions or preventative measure I can to assure Mindy stays in tip top shape and of course, avoid unnecessary vet visits I appreciate your help Walt
How much $$ should the employee of a dog care company receive?
I just started working as a pet sitter dog walker for a pet care company and I am paid 45 50 % of the total charge of each sit walk. I have heard that 70 80 % is the norm. Am I getting ripped off?Well, duh, Bonnie. That's why I'm trying to find out if I should be getting paid more so I can decide to quit or not.
How much do you spend on dog care a year?
I read online that people say 1,000 2,000. But that seems over the top. I have a dog and I spend $30.00 every other month for food. Tick and heart worm stuff is $50.00 every three months. Treats are $10 a month. Shampoo is $10 dollars every four months. Vet stuff is $20.00 every three months. And grooming is about $60.00 every four months. There are a lot of one time purchases I have made too such as brush, toys, bed, crate, etc etc that I won't have to buy again. Have I missed some important dog care expenses?
