Dogs

I have a dog in kennels in France waiting to come into the UK. She has had her jabs etc and has a pet passport. However the vet has put down the wrong cross breed on the passport. Can this be changed and how do I go about sorting that out ? Any help would be appreciated.

Yes it can be changed I had a similar problem where they spelt my last name wrong and i rang them up and I had to send it back and a couple of weeks later i got it back correctly.

Do you just accept the cultural difference?

i’ve noticed the bike paths are not as "soiled". that would explain it.

Is it possible to bring pets into the US coz I wanna join my fiance, he loves my dogs, they are old dogs & nobody wants 2 take care of them when I’m gone. I wish I can take them w/ me. They are 3 Dalmatians, ages from 6 to 8, certified, microchipped w/ good medicals.

Yes, but you’ll need complete physical exams for them from a licensed veterinarian, immunization records and a health certificate for each one.

The US embassy in Kula Lampur can fill you in on all the details.

Animal welfare would prosecute any cruelty to animals"pets" in most countries it is unacceptable to eat our pet cats and dogs.So why do you feel its ok to eat farm animals?

Good ?… alot of ppl say they like animals, but don’t really think about what happens to those cows, pigs & chickens b4 they end up on their plates.

Just accept the cultural difference?

I’d just accept it. Different cultures eat different things and ours is a multiculturalist society after all. Besides, there’s lot of different countries that make up the Pacific Islands, and I doubt this is a common custom for most of them.

That said, buying/eating an animal from a butcher or grocery store is one thing–but eating something they’ve raised?? Seems a little unusual unless you live on a ranch, in a trailer or a cave.

All of my friends have told met that their dogs like their dads best in the family. Why?

I’ve never known that to be the case. Dogs get most attached to the person who is their main care-giver; the person who feeds, grooms, walks, trains and plays with them the most. So the only way they’d get most attached to the dad is if that’s who spent the most time doing things with them.

Imagine a "vet" who doesn’t even know how to spell and actually expecting anyone at all to believe they’re a vet!

Pet dogs have been around a lot longer than commericial food.

Did people feed raw (consistent with the prey model/BARF model or just random raw meat/organs?)?
Table scraps?

Depended on the owner. City folks fed table scraps or cooked even. Some country folks fed table scraps and whatever the dog caught he ate. True country folk would take their dogs hunting and feed them the entrails and sinews and bones they didn’t want as well as what the dogs caught and table scraps. Some of the lines my dogs come from were eating fresh from the butcher daily.

We have a 8 year old beagle right now and we want another pet fog so.. Give me some breeds you know of that are Big, or Medium sized and are very active and playful for example they will go on runs, fetch and can be taught tricks easy. And it needs to get along with people, babies, kids and our beagle we have now..

my pet is 80 days old. Doctor recommended to take vaccination after 90 days. is there any possibility of getting rabies infection? also will it transmit if the dog licks on our face?

Pet dogs get rabies by being bitten by a wild animal that is infected with rabies, such as a raccoon or fox. Keep you dog in the house and keep him on a leash when he is outside. Don’t let him run around outside unsupervised, and don’t take him in the woods, where you might encounter a wild animal. Make sure your dog gets the rabies vaccine from the vet. It is required by law in most places. If your dog did get infected by rabies, it would be transmitted to you if he bit you, but not by licking. If you have more questions about rabies, ask your vet.

Every time you see a dog? When you see one that you particularly like? Never?

I saw a lovely pit bull today. I asked to stroke him and was so obedient, sitting and giving me his paw. So sweet! Though god knows why its owner admitted it was a pit bull considering they are illegal here.

If it’s a Dobermann I know better than to attempt to pet it because a well bred Dobermann neither seeks nor wants attention from people outside its pack. That said I usually pause to admire a good example of the breed & usually to someone who has equal good taste to mine in owning such a fantastic breed.

As a rule of thumb unless I know the dog & that it likes attention, I keep my hands to myself & admire visually.
