    At wit's end with my golden retriever

    Corgipower: Thank you, all of your info was helpful, especially the article on the emergency recall. I think, from reading that article that I have already messed up the word "come". I will practice using "danger", I liked that idea. And I say I've messed up "come" because I've used it...

    At wit's end with my golden retriever

    Doberluv: Thank you so much for taking the time to help me out. So much of what you said makes sense. Kody is 18 months old. We got him when he was 13 weeks old. I took him to puppy pre-school when he was just a little over 2 months old and then we went back when he was 8 months old and...

    Because I am afraid people will say that a dog should never be allowed off leash. I've read that on here before...

    At wit's end with my golden retriever

    I'm probably going to get ripped a new one for this, but it is when he is off leash. My dog goes to work everyday with my husband who does construction work and builds homes in rural neighborhoods and we allow him to be off leash. I've never seen a dog so happy as when he can roam and run, so...

    At wit's end with my golden retriever

    My golden retiever, Kody is a very friendly dog and I would never think he would ever bite a soul. However, recently he has began to run at people and bark. He sounds vicious and it definitely scares people. Most of the time his tail is wagging while he is charging and barking! He really is a...

    Kennel Cough

    Thanks for your advice everyone! Thanks SHOWPUG, I thought for a second that I might be crazy and just IMAGINED that I read all that stuff about antibiotics being overprescribed and that kennel cough was viral and should run it's course in a healthy dog. Update: My boy is completely over the...

    Kennel Cough

    Okay, I've just read alot about antibiotics being over-prescribed and actually weakening the dogs immune system (killing not only the bad, but the good germs too), but I don't want to risk pneumonia either. I read that kennel cough is viral, like our cold and antibiotics shouldn't usually be...

    Kennel Cough

    Took my boy to get neutered and 8 days later, he has Kennel Cough! The vet says that they vaccinated him before boarding (he went in the night before the surgery) and that he was just having side effects from the vaccine. Well, needless to say, he passed it to our other pup too and she is now...

    Please Help!

    A friend of mine, I am now learning, without a doubt is a BYB. It's purely about making a few bucks, and she just owns two of the same breed of dog, they mate every time the female comes into heat, etc. They also live out in the country, so no fence, and other dogs come calling when she is in...

    Can anybody guess what mix this is?

    Hey guys, I haven't posted in a long time, but wanted to hear everyone's guess on what type of mixed breed my niece's dog is. We know she's got some Jack Russell and rat terrier in her, but you should see her run-we think she may be part greyhound! Thanks ahead of time for your input! Merry...

    Is Nutro bad?

    Oh my gosh, I just went to Innova's website and compared it to what I am feeding! Yikes! I feel horrible for feeding them that stuff-and I feel cheated because it isn't cheap! Next dog food I buy will be Innova! Thanks for the advice!

    Is Nutro bad?

    Been feeding my two Saint Bernard puppies Nutro for Large Breed Puppies. I thought this was a good food, but read some things like that it has lots of "fillers". My dogs seem to love it, but their coats are kind of wirey?! Help please!

    Help! Vet reccomended Interceptor

    I spoke with the new vet and she confirmed that it is safe since the heartworms, if Kooper does have em, wouldn't be mature, so no harm done. Starting him on interceptor flavor tabs!

    Help! Vet reccomended Interceptor

    Elegy- Whoa, so it is okay to give the pill to him? He is just 12 weeks old, so if he does have it, it will be okay since the heartworms aren't mature yet?
