Will a short front cause health problems for my dog in the future?

Blank asked:


By a short front, I mean that her back end is taller than her front end. Will this cause any health problems (hip problems, etc.) in the future for her?
She’s almost two.
There isn’t a huge difference at all, but you can clearly see the angle as she has short front legs.

Is there a good pet health insurance out there?

My husband and I recently took in a boxer mix. I think he may be about a year old. We dont know if he has had shots or anything. We are a low income family but, our girls really love this dog so giving him up is out of the question. We can barely afford our health costs let alone a dog. If you know of a good cheap but reliable health insurance policy or carrier let me know.

What are the specific health benefits of owning a dog?

Dellajoy asked:


Some guy wrote a letter to the editor complaining about people who pay so much attention to their dogs and spend money on them when there are charities that need help. Some people have written in to tell him that while they own dogs they also contribute to charities, etc and how dare he tell them what their hobbies should be. I’d like to write a short response of my own mentioning health benefits since no one has touched on that subject yet.
