My dog is about 63 years old, in good health, and is housebroken. We’ve had her for 5 years with no problems and we take her out side for bathroom breaks every couple hours, but in the past two weeks she potties on the carpets frequently. Not a diarrhea problem either. Any suggestions on how to stop this habit of hers?

I have a 9-Month old mutt named bella. I had trouble training her after I got her when she was younger doe to my own health problems, so I gave up. Now I’m ready to train her, but I feel like she isn’t learning as well because she has gone so long without being trained and doesn’t understand. So anyways, is it still possible to train her and what would be the best techniques?

I have 3 indoor kitties, one is older (around 13yrs). Shes in great health and very active although in this cooler weather i find her always curled up looking chilly so ive been leaving a heating pad on medium heat out for her with a blanket over it, she LOVES it and often all 3 of them share it by the fireplace. At night, i leave it on the pillow next to me for bedtime, where she always sleeps. It is electric obviously, and i keep an eye on it (its unplugged whenever i leave). It seems to make a big difference for her, so im sure lots of older cats in this cool weather would enjoy it :) Does anyone know of any problems with doing this? Thanks.

I have a 13 year old spayed female long haired ragdoll cat that apparently has taken a dislike to the bathroom rug. She rips at it all the time, urinates on it, wads it up at least 6 times a day and even screams at it during the night. I have washed it repeatedly with all types of cleaners and she still does it. Do I need to just throw it out? WHY does she do this? What would be the reason? It is nutty behavior and is it a sign of a problem she may have? She shares the house with two other cats and they have all been together for all of their lives. She seems to be in good health.

I have an older cat. lets be real… she is almost 11 years old. my problem with her is…she has been staying in one of the rooms in my apartment… food water bed and litter pan in there. she is long hair so i constantly have to clean up her hair. I noticed she is losing her teeth… she is missing about 4 now… i have found pee stains on the carpet that were not there before. (and poo piles) So i think she is losing her control in those areas. When i clean the room if i dont lock her in the bathroom (cause it has tile and it is cool and dark) she urinates herself and walks around crying… I dont wanna put her down till she tells me she is ready. she has a hacking problem… she hacks till she throws up sometimes… its not a hair ball… its actually puke. I am feeding her Eukenuba Mature Care. Hair ball meds and she is bathed once a month… combed out once a week. Anyone have an idea i could try to calm this? vet says perfect health for 11.. she also has no meow! IDEAS PLZ!
