    what would you do? vet costs...

    I use two different vet practices. One vet is less cost than the other. The vet who is less costly is less costly on everything, less on same shots, less on medications including flea and heartworm meds, less on accessories and food, less on office vistis and less on testings and less on...

    what would you do? vet costs...

    :yikes: WHAT??? I can't imagine. I've always had large breed dogs and here they price also by weight of dog etc. I have always had large breed dogs and I think the last time I had a dog get a dental was about 3 years ago and it was about $200.00. The dog was put on a weeks course of...

    Is Canidae the new Uber-Food?

    I have 2 dogs on Canidae and Chloe was weaned on it at her breeder. Bailey was a picky eater before Canidae and Chloe has Clostridium Perf. and Canidae has been great for them both. And their coats are so shiney and healthy with a lot of movement. A local vet I met while on a walk stopped me...

    The things they don't tell you

    ROFLMAO!! This is TOO funny. At least the wife can even hold her (at this point) under her arm like a football while you go about barbering her behind (the puppy's I mean :D ). I have to hold onto a 76 lbs Collie with thick, long "pants" on his behind and make sure not only his butt, but his...

    feed less with premium foods?

    I feed Canidae and I have a 76 lbs dog who eats 2-2/3 cups to 3-1/4 cups a day but feeding also depends sometimes on the breed of dog. Collie's do not eat as much as some of their same weight counterparts, different breed of dog weighing the same amount. I have never had a Collie that ate more...

    continue on the buster/marbles meeting

    If Buster gets on Marbles nerves too much she WILL let him know and that's how he will learn. Bailey takes a lot from Chloe and Chloe pesters him unmercifully sometimes, when Bailey has had enough he runs her off and she has always understood WHEN he has had enough and she stops. When we got...

    HELP! sophie pregnant?

    I have never had an overweight spayed or neutered dog and have had many, many dogs throughout my life. And believe me none were breeds classified as high energy dogs, most were even what you might call "couch potatoes" at times. I see the OP is from Australia, I don't know if they have...

    What do you think???

    I know I have wonderful breeders. Just recently (last Friday) Bailey diagnosed with a neurological disease, most likely "Cerebeller Cortical Abiotrohpy" aka CCA. He just turned 2 years old yesterday and has had seizures since mid September (that I know of) and at that time he was about 17...

    feet splaying???

    All of the breeders of all of my dogs past and present (Collies) have said not to feed them Large Breed Puppy food because of the rapid growth that these dogs do not need. All three of the vets I use concur with this and basically said the same thing as Saintsgirl's vet. They are put on...

    The benefits to NOT neuter was written.....

    I have had dozens of dogs over my past 48 years of life and there are pros and cons to anything in life. All of my dogs with the exception of 2 have been spayed/neutered and NOT ONE of them EVER passed away because they were spayed or neutered. I have never had an overweight dog either...

    stitches vs. staples

    I like the metal wire sutures, they are NOT staples. Mine never, ever bother them because they are wire and kind of stand out from the incision. I wish I had thought to ask for them when Bailey was neutered (I forgot) then he probably wouldn't have had to wear that darned E-Collar for 10 days.

    Somebody peed on our bed, and what to make of it?

    LOL, know about laws? Yes........ Prosecutor? ....Oh good God NOOOO :yikes: But I know/worked with plenty of them, shhhhhh. Hubby has all the reprieve from the sentencing all of us here have given him (court of popular opinion <BG>) in that you have decided that he's not done THE deed, as a...

    Somebody peed on our bed, and what to make of it?

    Old habits die pretty darned hard. :) That's what I get for spending wayyy, wayyyy too many years being an investigator and much of that time with attorneys :yikes: hehehehehe

    Somebody peed on our bed, and what to make of it?

    It is my deduction that the hubby did it. Hands down. :D It's whomever said that he was probably napping and had an accident, sounds logical. Ask yourself: 1. Has hubby ever farted and blamed the dogs? 2. Has he ever lost anything and ..............blamed the dogs? 3. Has he ever eaten...

    Blowing Your Nose

    Okay, I have now been sucked in, I should have known better than to look at this thread. :popcorn: Pee threads, Poop threads, Vomit threads now booger/snot threads. Yup, right up there with the vomit thread, I have to agree. :D Does this thread also include eye boogers? I don't think we've had...
