Be sue each cat has their own litter box and carrier. You can bring both cats to the vet at the same time - it eases stress and makes them both smell the same when you get them home. Lilly doesn't like change. Getting Padders was a good idea, but he wasn't introduced correctly. Now, Lilly is...

Just playing while hanging out may not be what he needs. I'd suggest " play therapy " which is a specific structured playtime using an interactive toy ( Go-Cat makes the best ones). You're already doing behavior modification--only in the wrong direction! When he cries and you answer...

Rusty may not be able to "hold it" for so many hours at his age. Even when he develops better control, it is not good for a dog to be unable to relieve himself for 6 or 8 or more hours. Can you install a dog door so he can access the yard, or can a neighbor let him out during the day?

Hi Jeani, this is unfortunately a common problem. The good news is that your vet is right and there's nothing physically wrong with her; the better news is that she will most likely outgrow it; and the best news is that you certainly can do something about it. Your vet is also correct that behavior...

Hello! I am a mom to two 1 1/2 year old cats, Gus and Frank. They're great cats and a wonderful addition to our family. However, Gus is (this seems like a strange choice of words, but...) fixated on me all the time unless he's sleeping. He always wants me to come and play with him. He likes to...

Thanks so much, yes Cody was neutered at about 8 months old and we even had a humping problem for years and somehow managed to stop that behavior and he definitely could use more exercise, he enjoys training and is pretty good about following his commands maybe another class would be a good idea and...

Hi, a couple of suggestions: a) More exercise...long walks, daily play or training sessions...it's harder to be obsessive when you're tired! Poodles are smart dogs; so engage his mind with fun training exercises to keep him from obsessing about other stuff. b) Flower essences could be extremely...

I have two older male poodles one (Dexter age 11) is extremely well behaved and the other (Cody age 12) has had a problem with "marking" things for as long as I can remember - it seems to have gotten worse as he gets older. I can never catch him in the act, his new trick is to sneak down to...

Hi, this is unfortunatey a fairly common scenario, even between siblings and best friends; it is called "redirected aggression." Separation is necessary, but does not need to be permanent. The best thing to do is treat the situation as if you were introducing cats who did not know each other...

Hi, This is a really common problem in small dogs, and like most behavior problems in dogs, it is probably related to human behavior--ususally something they're unaware of doing. In the case of Chi's and other "large dogs in small bodies" it's really important that he understand...
