He has spent 10 months. Cocker old and need information about your care so you can live a happy life healthy. I would also like some suggestions flea treatment OTC
Cockers are so happy! And if the love of his family. Enjoy. Others have focused on the eyes, ears and requirements of grooming so I'll just add to the treatments against fleas. Click on this link: http://www.dog.com/flea.asp?catID=81 It is a very good summary / comparison of different brands and best prices on everything that is the dog that is in another site. Can I use Bio-Spot and found a great product and efficient. Frontline and Advantage are much more expensive and well done to fight against fleas, but it has been my experience that are not as great in ticks and mosquitoes in the region. Oooh! Thumbs Down fairy does not like a blow to the fight against fleas brand ..
How do I know the advertisement for puppies for adoption is not a scam?
I am from the Philippines and I sent an inquiry through e-mail regarding an ad which said she has maltese puppies up for adoption. Apparently, she’s from New Jersey. She said in her e-mail, “You will only be paying the shipping of these puppies and their adoption fees which will cost you $150 for one and $280 for both of them.” When do I pay and how can I be sure that this is not a scam?
100% I am sure this is a SCAM
first of all this is NOT an adoption.. only animal shelters do adoptions and they NEVER adopt to people they do not meet and check out..
in fact no good breeder would EVER sell pups to people they have not met and checked out..
I can pretty much guarantee that this is a SCAM
here is a link that talks about pet related animal scams like this you should read it so you are not fooled

I think to get a dog. I live alone in a house with 2 rooms. The yard is not fenced, and I plan to build fences. Therefore, should be a family dog who goes by a couple of day trips. I prefer an adult in some place between 2 and 5 years of age. I do not care if she is purebred or mutt. I prefer a small dog to average no more than 50 books, but not a cup of tea or a toy either. I saw a cocker spaniel to the Humane Society Local. That's about 3 or 4 years it seems easy, but not nervous which has been there for a while (I forget why), and castrated and domesticated. We do not think it would be a good match for me, and I agree – except that everything Cocker rage. How prevalent is the problem? Is there a specific age that occurs? Should I have a stray dog instead? What other races should consider? Thank you!
If this dog has been a refuge for some time, must know that if has "rage syndrome." Seen once it is difficult to EMI and lose everything that stress can bring on what would have been immune.
Your dog will become a great companion to you, but, your dog can also be a lot of work for you. There is no such a dog that requires no work from you, but choosing the right dog for you can keep your problems to a minimum.
So how do you know what is the easiest dog for you?
There really is no such thing as a very best dog breed – everyone looks for something different in their pets depending on their own situation at the time. One example is, when my husband and I worked, we had two miniature long haired dachshunds, when my husband became disability retired and stayed home all day, we got a black lab and a golden retriever. The time was right!
Some breeds are better if you require a low maintenance dog. For example: Hounds, such as greyhounds and whippets, generally love to be a couch-potato, despite their talent for speed. They are also very mellow dogs, and great for adoption. Standard poodles have a great personality, are very smart and have a calm demeanor. Bonus! They do not shed. Hence, the new breed of the “Doodle” dogs, like Labradoodle, or Goldendoodle. Both these are crosses between the poodle and another breed, making them low maintenance in the grooming department. Also low maintenance: pug, Shih Tzu, English cocker spaniel, but, be careful, some of these dogs need training to keep them from barking your neighbors into oblivion.
Keep away from breeds such as hunting breeds, herding breeds, or any working dog breed. Unless you are an active person, these dogs are not for you. They need lots of exercise and even mental stimulation. They are after all working dogs.
One way to have fewer problems is to adopt an adult dog that already comes housetrained, and even trained for many other activities. A dog that is two or three years old probably is already housebroken and no longer teething. That is what we did, we adopted a 3 year old black lab.
An older dog is also calmer than a puppy. And, Female dogs are easier to handle most of the time.
Where To Find A Dog
Go to your local Rescue Shelter, or Animal Shelter. These institutions work hard to match you with the right dog, and, they also look after their dog to make sure it goes to a good home. Adopting a dog is not for saving money; it’s about saving a dog.
Another tip: Talk to breeders and to dog owners once you have decided what breed you want. People are more than happy to tell you about their pets.
Enjoy your journey with your new canine friend. A dog is a companion for life, especially if you put thought into the process before you acquire your dog.

Do you have a young female Siberian Husky for adoption in Idaho, Oregon, Washington or region?
I know there are several rescues these areas. I thought if I was on the line could get even more options. I am willing to travel to pick up the dog and take him to his new home. Only serious answers please.
Lol I am a Basset Hound for adoption. If you go dogster.com dogs up for adoption there are many in Washington and Oregon. I live in Washington and looking for a dog and I think I saw a Siberian Husky, if you see that man or woman if I think it was a woman
Hello I’m Ben Parker. I created this site because I love dogs. And believe that it is our job as humans to care for the animals on this planet. But mostly what I see is abuse and neglect. The biggest one that I see is the food we feed our pets. Did you know that most of the food we feed our dogs (or we get from the store) is made of corn.
Dogs can’t digest corn and it has petroliem products in it, as in the same stuff they make gasoline out of. Dogs can live 20 or more years, but they don’t because the food they eat slowly poisions them. Any way sorry to go off on a tangent, I just passionate about taking car of our dogs the right way.
