Aww, this one's a cute not sticky situation from PetSugar reader weffie in the PetSugar Q + A group:
Do your pets have "friends" in the neighbourhood? My cats have a few pals that call on them all the time, just like kids

Ahh, an ever-tricky situation as PetSugar reader Hotlegs Runner poses this question to the PetSugar Q + A group:
My dogs are small and they like sleeping on our bed at night. They either lay at the foot of the bed or they lie down wherever there's free space. That said, I make sure that they're clean. Whenever we return from their daily walks, I wash their feet. =)
One night, I entered my room and saw my dogs already on my bed. So, where am I suppose to sleep, huh? ;p
Do you let your pet sleep with you on your bed?
Oh no! Read this problem submitted by PetSugar reader popsugar2 in the PetSugar Q + A group and see if you can offer any tips for her:
Does anyone know of an all-natural flea spray I can use on my dog? I don't want to use the chemical ones recommended by vets.
While I've gathered up several ecotastic DIY flea solutions, there's definitely a time — like most of it — when I don't have the opportunity to buy a bunch of supplies and get to mixing.

My cats use a litter box, but they step in poo while exiting. Gross! I can't discipline them for using the box, so what can I do?

Owning a pet is such a learning experience! Whether you have dogs, cats, or both as an only pet or part of a burgeoning brood, there's always something coming up (and a whole lotta poop).
So instead of sitting around wondering — or trying to ask the animal itself — just come on into the PetSugar Community and type your questions! We've added an Ask the Community Anything box, so you have a quick and easy way to inquire away! Limited to 128 characters, get straight to the point and then get straight answers from all of us. While you're there, chime in with your opinions and advice about others' questions as well! (And, don't worry, there's still a Pet Peeves group for those lengthier tales.)
In fact, one reader is looking for a super chic dog carrier while another is wondering why her pooch won't stop barking at the TV. If you have answers to these questions or any of your own, come on in and join the conversations now!

Does anyone feed their dog CANIDAE dry food? My dog stayed at a fancy pet hotel and they fed her this and now she won't eat her food.

Ahh, the (not-so-joyful) joys of housetraining! Anyone who's spent the time between first day home and last day inside before final puppy shots has likely cleaned up a lot of waste. It's not a pleasant process so read about bluerose462's experience posted in the PetSugar Q and A group:
Wow, I still adore my wonderful birthday gift. I.E Pepper. However, I have never received a birthday present that pees before. She has this cute little puppy body but there has to be gallon of pee in there! Potty training seems easier with kids LOL for most kids. Pepper is training on pee pads because she is too little to go potty outside. The vet told us not to take her outside until 8 weeks. She will be 6 weeks tomorrow. Cleaning up puppy messes are not my favorite thing to do. “EEEEWWW!”

Oh no! Read this problem submitted by PetSugar reader Ludee00 in the PetSugar Q + A group and see if you can offer any tips for her:
I recently rescued a cocker spaniel pup, eight weeks old. I have brought her to the vet five times and he can't seem to find out what is wrong. She seems to scratch all over. It won't wake her up, but it will stop her in her tracks when she is playing or eating. She will just start scratching. I have tried the following:
She will cry from the scratching and it breaks my heart. She is so young, I don't want to try anything too extreme (medication wise). I have no idea what else to do. I have had her for 14 days and she has been to the vet five times, with another appt. this Friday. Any advice would be great.

Here's a little something to ponder this Friday to help out one of our PetSugar Q and A community members:
I live in a 2-bedroom, 800-sq. ft. condo (I own) and am interested in getting a dog. I've looked online, but all I can find for breed recommendations are pups that yap or are bad with other animals. I have two cats. Any suggestions?
Think about all your dog breed expertise and come up with types that are not super active or needing room to roam, typically pretty quiet, and good with cats to boot. Share your tips in comments, then submit your own burning pet questions in the forum, too.
While neither North nor my apartment are super tiny, it could be said that he's a high energy dog in a fairly small space. Still, when I think of active breeds, Jack Russells are the first to come to mind. Sure Frasier did it with Eddie — yes, on a fictional TV show — but check out Girl Jen's request in the PetSugar Q and A group:
Jack Russell Terrier in an apartment. How can I make it work?
