Q. Also, what type of dog do you have?
A. I would say the top 3 most controversial subjects here are breeding questions (Because backyard breeders feel the need to ask questions here for some reason), Pit Bull questions (Usually regarding aggression and the great war on them being a dangerous breed or not), and designer dog breed questions (and the war on them being purposely bred or not).
I would say there are a lot of stupid questions as well (Sick dogs that aren't being vet checked, "teacup" dogs, and so on type questions) but it seems most everyone can agree on the answers for those.
Legit- Personally I have two Australian Shepherds.

Why do so many people ask what to do while my dog is dieing right in front of me?
Q. Really people go to the vet if they don't have answers go to another vet! Dogs should be treated with respect. Just wondering if others have seen this too.
A. 1. Not everyone is aware that a symptom a dog is presenting with could be/is potentially serious or life impairing. As an example a five year old Dobermann that coughs when excited is one of the signs of dilated cardiomyopathy [heart failure]
2. People don�t always plan for the worst case scenario and have sufficient [or any] money saved against the day when their pet is seriously ill and then have the choice of taking on a repayable debt [credit card or loan] or asking strangers for a cheap option.
3. Trolls write inflammatory questions for the sole purpose of eliciting emotional responses and then sit back and bask in their success.
4. There is a slim chance that some questions are genuine and written by minors who don�t know where to turn because either the parent/responsible adult is not contactable/not answering or will not finance the veterinary treatment the dog requires.
While I would not bundle my dog in the car at the first sign of a sniffle, my first reaction if a dog was presenting with symptoms that concerned me would be to go straight to the vet day or night and not switch on the laptop.

Does it cost to ask your vet a question?
Q. I know it's a really stupid question. I have a ton of questions that I'd like to ask my vet. Like, would a homemade dog food be good for my dog? But I'm only fourteen and I can't decide when the dog goes to the vet.
Odds are, I'll just have to wait until my dog just happens to be sick again to take him to the vet.
So, do you think it would cost money just to ask the vet about my dog's nutrition?
How could I convince my family to take him to the vet when really doesn't need to go?
Thanks.

A. I wouldn't ask my vet about dog nutrition anyway... probably the last person I would ask.
Google lots online and see what you come up with.
Most vets have very very little training on nutrition, and a lot are heavily subsidised by dog food companies as are their universities.
If you want to find out about homemade meals then google that you will find a lot. I know Cookie on here always recommends Monica Segal.. (think that's how it is spelled)..
I raw feed my dogs and do not buy commercial foods.

My dog questions need to be answered by a professional vet only please?
Q. My dog jumps up in the air and then belts out fup...Wonder why? He is usually so quite but when he hears alot of noise from certain people he just goes nuts. Do you think he may be a bybdog
A. That's not enough information for anyone to answer. Dogs can have neurotic tendencies for several reasons, best get him looked at by your vet so he can observe your dog in person.
What difference does it make if he was a backyard breeder dog? It could be possible that he left the mother and litter mates too early, or may have been abused by a previous owner (I'm assuming he had one because you don't know about the breeder). Anyway, just worry about the here and now, and the best of luck to you and your dog.
