Question by Vivian L: I want a puppy but my mom won’t let me! My dad doesn’t care, but i can’t get one if my mom doesnt approve.
I am 12 and I found this dog online in a pound nearby. My family, me, my older brother, my mom and my dad, all are allergic to the hair, but the allergies aren’t bad. Sometimes we don’t even get an allergic reaction. The worst things that have happened to us are itchy skin and light hives. My 13 yr old brother and I each own betta fish by ourselves. We are very responsible and get good grades (a’s, b’s) and we almost never get in trouble. Also, i’m asian, i can’t really clean my room, because its already clean. I have plants that i take care of and water everyday and i play the piano. When i ask my mom if i can get a dog, she says its too much trouble because most of my relatives live in L.A (I live in sacramento), and we visit them atleast once a year. We also travel to other states and countries once a year for fun. I could keep the dog in the backyard + my aunt has dogs, so when i travel, i can leave it there.
(We don’t do many chores, but i still don’t think it’d work) vet costs to

Kahlua’s story…
Kahlua is about 2 years old and weighs about 13 lbs. He gets along great with other dogs. I spent some time with this little guy and found him to be quite friendly. He’ll wag his tail in greeting and enjoys taking walks with you. He enjoys petting and is not timid. Thank you for your interest.

My advice is get a hypoallergenic dog ( dogs that cause less allergies then other dogs). The reason they cause less allergies is becuase of their special hair. Unlike other dogs that have fur that they shed all the time, these dogs have hair more like ours that barely sheds. People with allergies are usually allergic to the dander of the dog, and if a dog sheds less then you will contact the dander less.

These are hypoallergenic dogs

Afghan Hound

Barbet

Bichon Frisé

Bolognese

Greyhound

Havanese

Maltese

Poodle

Portuguese Water Dog

Schnauzer

Shih-Tzu

Silky terrier

Soft-Coated Wheaten Terrier

Welsh Terrier

West Highland White Terrier (westies)

Yorkshire.

And maybe you can get a small dog which you have travel with easily and take with your on your trips ?

As for convincing your mom I can’t help you much here. I’m in the same situation and my mom still wont budge, even after I do excelent in school and do plenty of chores.

Question by M H: How long does it take to see improvement after you start the medication. She doesn’t want to eat or drink.?
Took to vet yesterday because she has lost her appetite and doesn’t want to drink much water either. She is a maltese shitzu mix and weighs 9 1/2 pounds and is 2 years old. He told me he thought she had a urinary infection because she was in heat a few weeks ago and that she also might have some type of seasonal allergy because she is chewing and scratching herself. She also wants to sleep a lot, although I can get her to eat if I put a small amount of white chicken in her dog food, but she won’t eat the dog food. She is playing still some but not as much as she usually does. He put her on the Baytril and gave her a cortisone shot. How long should it take before I see any improvement? I am really concerned, so anyone who can tell me anything will be helpful. Thanks.

Question by cr500: Want to but dog to sleep.?
OK haters, don’t start in.

I have a dog that the kids no longer play with, has allergies. skinks from skin problems, never stops scratching, cries all night because it wants out, has destroyed the back yard and each trip to the vet cost over $ 150 bucks.

I just want to put the dog to sleep.

How much should I expect to spend for this application.

Question by NoDayButToday: Trying to rehome an 8 year old poodle with a seizure disorder (don’t want her going to shelter) Tips?
Not my dog but friend inherited a 4lb apricot poodle. The owners said she was a Tiny Toy Poodle. (Which there is no such thing as a Tiny Toy Poodle. So she is a bred down poodle. I’m too nice when it comes to animals, everyone always comes to me for help. She is living at my friends house but has had no luck in finding her a home. lost her Grandmother and in the will she got the dog but she can’t keep the dog. She has an extremely DA Amstaff.

Dutchess is a great little dog, she has a solid temperment. She is good with other dogs, cats, and kids. The problem is she has a seizure disorder and severe skin allergies. She is on a grain free food and that keeps the allergies in check. As far as the seizures go she is on medication. So we are going to be hard pressed to find a home for this 8 year old little poodle with health issues.

Any tips at all for finding her a home?

We want to avoid her going into a shelter at all costs, but I can’t take her (I have a pit bull mix, who is not DA but I worry about having a dog that small around and I’m not really a poodle person and am not comfortable taking her on) and my friend is having to crate and rotate with the poodle and her Amstaff until the poodle finds a home.

So any tips at all in finding this dog a home would be great/

We are trying to find a shelter that will post a courtesy listing as well. And we’ve put an Ad on Craigslist but we are both weary about craiglist. Also there is an ad in the local paper. And a flyer at the vets office
We don’t want her in a shelter environment.

You asked this earlier today.

Give your answer to this question below!

My dog has red inflamed ears from what I thought was food allergies but I’m not sure. Well now I noticed he has little sores under his right eye under his hair it almost looks like a rash. You can’t even tell unless you look real close but they are definitely there! Is this still allergies or something more? Lately he has been rubbing his face on the carpet as well as shaking his head because his ears are bothering him. I am taking him to the vet tomorrow morning. I am worried would love to have as many opinions as possible. Thanks so much!!!!
FYI he does not have any fleas and I switched him from Iams Puppy to Wellness Adult hopefully this will help but I have a feeling he is going to need regular medication
