Main question pretty much says it all, just curious what the rules and regs are for personal Pets while in canadian forces.

why don’t you contact them and ask them?

The apartment I am looking into allows Pets, but they charge outrageous deposits and extra rent per month. I have two cats. I am wondering if when I sign the lease I say I don’t have pets to avoid paying the deposit and extra rent. It’s an apartment complex run by a corporation so the only people coming into my apartment will be maintenance and how are they supposed to know I said I don’t have pets on my lease? Will this work? Anyone get away with it before?

It’s better to come clean and pay the deposit and higher rent. You will sleep better at night knowing you’re doing the right thing. As long as your cats don’t wreck the apartment, you should get your deposit back. Also, if you look into other apartments that don’t charge the higher rent, they probably are not as nice because they don’t care. Good luck!

We rarely go on vacation but this year we are planning a trip to Europe for a month. Have a dog and two cats. We are new to this town and don’t really know anyone. What would be the best thing to do with our pets? If you know the name of a website etc. please include that as well. Thank you very much for any help.

I would ask a local Vet if they knew of a service in the area. Would not leave them in a Vets clinic though, they are left alone too much anc caged. Best scenario is to find leave the Pets in their home and have someone come there. But make sure you put valuables in a bank deposit box for peace of mind. My neighbor hired two local people to make sure that they were taken care of incase one "forgot." How about talking to co-workers to see if they know of a responsible teen that can do it for you?

Good Luck

I know its a completely random question, but Im just curious. Im a huge animal lover, and Ive had large numbers of pets before, but right now I just have my kitten. But i wanted to know how many pets other people had, and what kinds.

we have had the ones that we have now for 11 years now
I have a beagle mix who is sweet as can be named Lacey
i also have a chocolate lab named Quincey =)
i use to have a ton of barn cats,
but now its down to one . A black gray and orange devil named Zoie

i live on a farm as well and show livestock all summer
so i concider all of my sheep and pigs to be my pets as well

in 2009 i had 7 sheep named (Kylie, Lucy, Operah, Alpha, Rehab, Jillian, and ANDREW)
i had hamps, natural colors, sufolks, and an amazing oxford
we won many shows accross indiana and i love them all to death . heck they even get to live in air conditioning for crying out loud haha. they are my babies

my pigs =) are my world ( and no they do not live in mudd, outside and they are not fat)
i sleep with them in the pen and play with them and feed them marshmellows and they love drinking pop out if cans ..
in 2009 their names were ( muzzle loader, gunner, brandi, anna, sweat pea, shimmer, BILLY, blackmail, sky, bruiser, nelly, sammy and many more that i am too lazy to write)

my dogs have never been on a leash or chain..they are free to go where they want and do what they want. they sleep in our barn witch is heated during the winter ..

PS i am in love with animals … this is why i dont believe in peda

What is the best brand out there of microchip IDs for Pets?
I’d love to hear peoples’ experiences – good or bad – with the various brands of microchip IDs for pets. I’m looking at Avid, 24 Hour Pet Watch, Home Again and Trovan for use in a new animal shelter.

I would say Avid. And they are sure to work with all AVID scanners. Every vet has or should have an avid scanner. They are fast and can get you pet back fast.

I don’t want to use frontline or advantage because it is very expensive and I don’t like using the chemicals on my pets. two lap dogs and one retriever.

I have heard of garlic powder sprinkled on your pets food. But how much? And I heard pros and cons about using garlic,some good,some not good.

I have also heard of giving your pet Brewer’s Yeast tablets that it works. Where do I get these brewers yeast tablets for Pets?

Has anyone used brewers yeast tablets?

Does anyone make their own spray with essential oil’s?

Thanks for your help.

you can get some pill from your vet. They are based on weight of the pet. They kill ALL bugs within 24 hours. They work I have a cat and 3 dogs inside and they go out too. You have to treat you home as well. Flea bombs with everyone and all pets outside . You should also put a new flea collar into your vaccum bag regularly. the vaccum picks up the eggs but the next time you turn it on the vibration makes them hatch in your vaccum bag! So they are being spread over and over. Not sure what else to try. I use advantage plus. it is really safe and they have to be clean and dry when you apply it. Best of luck!

I’m going to be hopefully staying with my boyfriend over the summer and I was planning on taking my cat with me. I’m just not sure how reliable the airport would be in handling pets and if it was too traumatizing for the animal.

boy, I’m glad I didn’t work with Jack….the airlines I have worked for cargo, we were never less than careful with dogs/cats/whatever. If you are flying within USA, airline is not allowed (per feds) to accept Pets when temperature at origin/transit/destination is over 85 degrees, so bear that in mind if you are travelling in high summer!

Sorry, I wasn’t specific enough with my last question. I’m trying to find out what the Health Board rules are regarding pets on restaurant or bar patios in Houston.

(f) Prohibiting animals.
(1) Except as specified in item (2) of this subsection, live animals may not be allowed on the premises of a food establishment.
(2) Live animals may be allowed in the following situations if the contamination of food, clean equipment, utensils, linens, and unwrapped single-service and single-use articles cannot result:
a. Edible fish or decorative fish in aquariums, shell fish or crustacea on ice or under refrigeration, and shellfish and crustacea in display tank systems;
b. Patrol dogs accompanying police or security officers in offices and dining, sales, and storage areas, and sentry dogs running loose in outside fenced areas;
c. In areas that are not used for food preparation and that are usually open for customers, such as dining and sales areas, service animals that are controlled by the individual with a disability, or service animals in training when accompanied by an approved trainer, if a health or safety hazard will not result from the presence or activities of the service animal;
d. Pets in the common dining areas of institutional care facilities such as nursing homes, assisted living facilities, group homes, or residential care facilities at times other than during meals if:
[1] Effective partitioning and self-closing doors separate the common dining areas from food storage or food preparation areas;
[2] Condiments, equipment, and utensils are stored in enclosed cabinets or removed from the common dining areas when pets are present; and
[3] Dining areas including tables, counter tops, and similar surfaces are effectively cleaned before the next meal service; and
e. In areas that are not used for food preparation, storage, sales, display, or dining, in which there are caged animals or animals that are similarly confined, such as in a variety store that sells pets or a tourist park that displays animals.
(3) Live or dead fish bait may be stored if contamination of food, clean equipment, utensils, linens, and unwrapped single-service and single-use articles cannot result.
(Ord. No. 99-1346, § 1, 12-15-99; Ord. No. 07-1051, § 2(Exh. A), 9-12-07)

So the answer is no, pets are not allowed on the patios of restaurants or bars. But I have seen many people tie thier dogs to the railing on the outside of the patio and sit at one of the tables beside the railing.

I have several pets and they each have up to 20 nicknames, yet they know each nickname is specifically for them. How do they know?

Do your Pets have many nicknames?

yeah its weird but they know when your talking to them. i think it dosent have to even be saying their name, like my sis got a dog from a woman with a bunch of other dogs and for each of her dogs she wistled a different tune and each dog knew their tune and would come.

Pets play an important role in our lives today, as members of our families. In history, those same animal types were used for different purposes. The luxuries we give our pets today originated from need of them in history. I am a pet groomer, and would like to know some history relating to my profession, but am unable to find a satisfactory quantity of infomation. What historical events were caused by these pets, the use of them and the methods of maintaining their health?

Yes you are right Pets have their share in history. In war during the time of napoleon bonaparte pet dpogs and pigeons has been used as messengers. Some arab countries would use a hawk in sending important messages and documents.
