answered a question Why does my dog have whiskers?

Whiskers are sensory receptors for dogs. Each whisker has a mass of nerves underneath it. They can even feel vibrations that tell whats around them.

answered a question Is there a way to calculate how much water a dog needs a day based on weight?

As a general rule I would say most dogs need about an ounce of fluids per pound of body weight per day.

answered a question Why does my dog drool in the car?

Some dogs drool when they get excited. If your dog isn't overheated then I would bet on your pet being excited for the car ride.

answered a question What should I bathe a puppy with?

A puppy should be bathed in soap that specifies for puppies. Do not use human shampoos or soaps. Puppies need the oils on their skin to keep a healthy coat and human shampoos tend to strip hair and wash the oils away. Puppy skin is sensitive and you shouldn't use anything that isn't specifically labeled for puppies.
