We just rescued a dog. Our new friend is a 2 year old mix breed. We did not see the dog. The shelter said the dog was lay back with a good personality & we only saw pictures. The dog is flying in from St. Louis to NJ.
1) What to expect during pick up?
2) Can we bath the dog on the first day?
3) Is this method of transporting safe?
Answer
Before the dog is shipped, the seller should call you with the flight number and which airport the dog will arrive at, plus the estimated time of arrival. Shipping should be confirmed by telephone as soon as the dog is loaded on the plane. You can call the airlines to find out if the flight is on time and if your dog is on board (sometimes, on a connecting flight, some idiot takes your dog off the first plane and doesn't put it on the second one).
On the day the dog arrives: Go to the airport desk for the airlines that is shipping your dog. Ask where to pick up the dog. You will be told where to go.
I hope you didn't buy a dog over the internet. Most of them come from BYBs and puppy mills, as I unhappily found out. You can still cancel the order and get a refund before the dog is shipped. Go to the national breed club website of the breed you bought and find reputable breeders all across the USA there. Breed clubs are listed as: (example) "Basenji Club of America." A quick search will find it for you.

What's wrong with this dog's tooth?

My friend showed me a picture of her dogs tooth and we don't know what's wrong. Does anyone know?

Answer
The enamel has cracked off. If you want to save the tooth, you need to see a veterinary dentist to have a restoration done. If you cannot afford that, the tooth needs to be removed. When the coating is worn away, the protection is worn away and it is likely to get infected. As stated many times in this board, dental infections lead to heart and kidney failure. There was also a recent story about a little boy in NJ that died from an abscess in the brain that was due to an infection in the mouth.
