Dog Silencer Pro?


Biallow asked:


Has anyone tried a anti barking device for barking dogs? Its not a bark collar, shock collar, or anti spray collar. Its a device that when dog barks it sends out a frequency the dog hear and will stop the dog from barking. Im planning to buy so my dog would shut up when it barks and my neighbours dog too.

Pomeranian barking and growling problem?


William W asked:


Hello

I have a 1-1/2 YO male Pom whom I love dearly. Recently I've moved in with my girlfriend and her 6 year old daughter. Things were fine for the first several weeks. However now my dog goes into a frantic [FRANTIC] backing episode when new people come over and he's begun to snap and growl and the young girl. All of these behaviors are new. I'm very patient with my dog and am considering non-shock untrasonic anti-barking collar to help with the backing. The snapping and growling are another issue entirely. The dog is well cared for, never struck or teased by the young girl [or anyone else] yet he's showing aggression towards her. This could be a deal breaker.

Thanks
B

k9 advantix

Which is better in your experience?


apathykillsyou asked:


Frontline, Advantix or revolution? My dog is not around cats so K9 advantix is not a problem, I just want opinions as to which works the best? I live in a high flea area
I do use heartgard, so I dont think revolution would be a good choice.

Citronella oil to repel fleas on dogs?


stormfaery5 asked:


I was doing research in order to make a homemade flea repellent spray for my dog, and came across a few articles about using diluted citronella oil. But I also came across articles saying to use citronella oil on your lawn to repel unwanted dogs... And I know they make anti-bark collars that spray citronella oil into a dog's face when they bark because they don't like it. So is it ok to use as a flea spray or will my dog just freak out because he doesn't like the smell of it???
The point of using natural flea repellent was to avoid products like frontline. Frontline puts a chemical in the dogs blood that paralyzes the flea when they bite them... it makes the dogs blood toxic. It has been linked to cancer and organ damage over time, and can cause seizures after only one dose. This product is DEADLY to kittens. If a kitten rubs on the dog and gets a small amount on them, they can die. It says right on the instructions to wash your hands immediately if you get any on your skin. If this product is dangerous to get on my skin, why would I put it on my dog!! This is true for all spot-on treatments, and I will not subject my dog to such harsh and dangerous chemicals.

What can I do to help my dog?


little lady in jeans. asked:


So about two weeks ago I bought my 2yr. old Maltese K9 Advantix 10.
I applied it that same day. About a couple of days later I started to notice that it wasn't working. Now, two weeks later, my dog and my house is infested. This morning I tried returning the medicine at Petsmart, and they wouldn't accept it. I mean it was pretty expensive and I want my money back to buy my pet a better medicine. What can I do?
