I recenetly adopted a greyhound, and because I work 1-1.5hrs away from home I’m interested in a pet door incase he needs to go during the day. He stands about 29″ high. My roomate has miniature dachshunds, which are about 8″ high and currently use a dog door (in the arcadia door) around the size or smaller than a cat door. Any of the doors I’ve looked in to for my dog are 15″ high off the ground, so if we replace the current arcadia one with this one… it won’t work. Has anyone seen a pet door that is for large dogs and cats/toy dogs? Any ideas? A pet door in the wall right now will run me $600 so I’m looking for cheaper options.

What are the toughest and strongest dog toys you have found? My husky rips apart most toys. She has nylabones and loves balls. She also loves tug toys bed tends to chew those apart too. She is not a big fan of kongs unless we put peanut butter in them how ever she does not play with them other wise. Thanks!

please and thank you

I also have a rottweiler so please give me some suggestions!

If you have or care about a dog, you have to read this story about a dog ball that won’t be pulled the market despite it causing severe injuries and death. I would just about die if this happened to my girl, it looks so horrible and painful. I thought I’d pass this on to all of you here, as I know you all love your dogs and most likely buy them toys. This is one to watch out for, and warn others about. http://www.thechaistory.blogspot.com/

My dog is always tearing up his toys, even the “indestructible” ones. I am sick of spending so much money at the pet stores. Does anyone have any ideas on some home made toys. Just like things that are around the house. I have already given him bandannas that are knotted up, but he just rips them to shreds. Any ideas?

As I pulled into the driveway, he grabs the stuffed bear in his mouth and stands in front of the gate waving his tail. Why is that?

is this a comfort thing as after 2 or 3 days he will start to rip it bit by bit but still mouthing it as if it were something he has caught.

If you have ever owned a dog, one time or another you have probably dealt with this problem. Your dog is so happy to see you that he jumps up on you getting his muddy paws all over your new suit or dress. Or even worse, during his excitement he jumps on a smaller child and knocks them down or scratches the child’s face, arms or legs. Well, guess what, you probably taught your puppy this bad habit. Let me explain:

When your dog was a puppy, he was much smaller and when he came running to you he would jump on your ankle or maybe your knee, no big deal right? And in response to your little bundle of joy, you would reach down and pet him, maybe even pick him up.

You have just taught your puppy a very important lesson, “when I jump up on my owners leg he/she gives me love!” Fast foreword a few months and now that once small little puppy is 3, 4, maybe 5 times the size he once was. He doesn’t understand the difference, he just wants the love that he knows how to get by jumping on you.
