Ooops I clicked on the wrong forum

So I went to feed kieran today and when he stood up i noticed a sore on his leg. At first I was a little worried as it looks horrible, but i quickly realized that all it was was raw skin with a little bit of fur still left in the middle(at first glance the fur looked like infection). I thought...

You know I have considered that, and when Petco moves in i might start buying a better food, however, I don't like having to order food(which I have to do right now if I want a better food) and honestly, millions of people feed there dogs Purina One, they are healthy, and Well every vet i have...

We usually give both of them Purina One but just recently switched to Wegmans brand. We won 2 50 pound bags so i figured we might as well use them. I will be switching back over to there normal food within the next two-three weeks. Also our older dog has shown zero changes with the different...

Just wanted to let you all know that we brought the pen home today and blocked him into the living room..We haven't had one accident tonight, at all. Its a good start as far as im concerned.

Thanks for the info guys. I was mainly concerned about how much he goes to the bathroom. I just mentioned that he goes inside to show how much of a problem it is... I attribute some of it to the previous owners. He was a stray and we picked him up in a semi bad condition.

Cheeta Yes I am with him every time, As I walk him every time he goes to the bathroom. What Can I do to increase fiber?

Not litterally, but he goes alot. Doesnt usually urinate, he just poops. Hes a 4-5 month Old Black Lab It is very solid like it should be and he was at the vet recently with zero problem so I don't think hes sick. This has been going on for prolly 1 1/2 months. Tonight for example...

Thats half the problem, he loves his leash...and plays with it

I dont understand this dog at all. So far he has went to the bathroom outside 2 times. The rest is all in our house and its getting on my nerves. I know hes a puppy, but i just cant for the life of me figure out why he wont go outside. He pee's right next to the door. I mean right next to...

We have "adopted" a 3 month old pure bred lab. He will not poop outside. He will pee. But we have taken him for walks and nothing. As soon as i he steps foot inside, he squats. Rush him outside, and nothing, even if you hang out for a little while. Any ideas?

thanks, thats what i figured but i just wanted to make sure.

My dog is shedding a ton. We are pretty sure his dad has alot of lab in him and a girl i work with has had labs since she was younger(shes 50) and says thats normal. She says that shes uses a shedding blade on her lab and its never ending hair. Are there any other reasons that he would...

I was unaware that i could do that...i def like that idea better than just shipping it. It makes me feel alot more comfortable.

How do you guys feel about shipping puppies. Just the shipping part. I am considering flying out to a breeder. And then flying back. And then having the puppy either brought back with me or having it flown back after wards. Either way its being shipped on a plane. Do puppies do alright...
