    Canadian dog gear

    Never even thought of Greenhawk! Never heard of Canadog before.

    Canadian dog gear

    What are some brands of Canadian made products? I'm drawing a huge blank for the most part. I know RC, Chilly Dogs and Hotdogs All Dressed.

    Worst shedding dog/breed you've had

    The GSD/ACD mix, insane and while the Lab is shedding a boatload right now he's got nothing on the little nutter, the BC/Husky barely sheds. And to make it that much worse he's not only the biggest shedder (and smallest dog in the house) but his hair weaves into everything making it horrible to...

    Has your dog ever donated blood??

    Our Lab has done it several times. There's no canine blood bank here (I'm not sure about other places) so the vet would ask if I could go get him if she had a dog that needed a transfusion. They gave him a mild sedative just to make sure he stayed relatively still. Happily all the dogs he's done...

    Smelly face.

    He gets groomed every 2-4 weeks thoroughly. Lasts maybe a day and is stinky again. During this time he might only leave the house to do his business and come back in. Going to try the chlorahex wipes. Thanks.

    What's your strategy for walking multiple dogs?

    One leash in each hand, one dog on each side and one looped around my waste and walks to one side/slightly behind. Two of them are often off leash anyways, but I hate walking the three of them at once, two or one is ideal.

    Omg, I'm mortified.

    One of ours has killed groundhogs, a rat, rabbits and countless birds. He'd do the same to small dogs, cats and pet critters too if we gave him the chance so we must be mindful. Once he kills something he gets a little obsessed about it for the rest of the day but calms down by the next day...

    Smelly face.

    Our lab's muzzle area stinks, seriously its rank. I can't even stand to be near his head anymore, like a garbage smell, sour. His breath is fine, his teeth are all in great shape but his face itself stinks. Any ideas? He does not have the typical "tight face" of a lab, he drools quite a bit and...

    NextDog.

    I really like her dogs and Lorraine is wonderful, plus she has ties to Newfoundland how could I not like her lol. I also really like Priest Creek and Catalyst.

    Yup, good guess.

    Hey, guess what!?

    Those sprinkles on his head are snow when it started coming down this morning. It's been snowing all day. The dogs are wired, me not so much.

    For the ACD or Lab?

    NextDog.

    Do you know what your next dog will be? Depends, husband's Lab is slowing down a bit and even though he'll only be 6yrs next month he's having issues with his joints and just can't keep up like he used to, though he tries so hard. He'd like a another Lab before the current one retires or he has...

    Overwhelmed with food

    I ended up buying Go! Sensitivity + Shine Salmon. It's 12% fat so on the higher end of the low fat spectrum he's been on it since Wednesday and so far so good, knock on wood. I have always been a huge fan of Petcurean so hopefully this works out, it's something they can all eat and all have done...

    Pet peeves of pet owners

    People who have blind faith in their vet because they are a vet and vets know things and I've been going there for X amount of years. Dog is off (not eating/drinking, lethargic, shaking) owner takes it to vet, vet says could be upset tummy could be pancreatitis. Take her home and watch her...
