    is there anything that will survive a retriever!

    It seems as though every chew item I give Rusty he can literally devour it in 2 hours. I have a kong I fill with treats and I say to myself that will keep him busy a while. So I check on him and what do I find, the Kong is empty and hes done with it. I purchased some Red Barn Bully Sticks the 12...

    retriever who doesnt retrieve?

    Was curious if anyone knew of a golden retriever who majority of the time doesnt like to play fetch. Rusty seems to do the above, ill be playing with him and all and he just wont go fetch. He does it every now and then but rarely? Should I be concerned?

    food allergy

    I talked to my vet and carried Rusty to the vet and they said he is scratching so much because of possibly a food allergy. Is there a brand of food that will remedy this situation I hate to see the poor little guy scratch so much :(

    how much should a puppy scratch ?

    I have a question about scratching, I know that some scratching is normal but how much is not normal. Rusty seems to be scratching a good bit all over. Mainly on his mouth and on his side near his rear legs. Could this be a food/allergic reaction ? Im feeding him Innova Evo and he loves it. I...

I work nights so I put him outside in a large fenced area with lots of water and toys (Kongs) to play with. This is time number 2 that he has destroyed the back doormat and Im...

    is Rusty healthy looking

    hah Yeah I noticed that my reflection is in the picture. No I was just curious since this is my first dog, He does have a small spot that he has rubbed the hair off of him but I got him to stop digging at it. He sleeps a lot is this also normal ?

    So I switched to Innova Evo

    oh no So I have been doing the wrong thing for almost a month now, ive been giving him Evo. That isnt hurting him is it ? I will change immediately what kind of Innova should I feed him?

    So I switched to Innova Evo

    Evo Yeah I feed him Evo, is that wrong? He is 7 months old... I must have misunderstood on the food, should I be feeding him something else? Thought I read on the bag and their site that it was for ALL LIFESTAGES?

    Royal Canin

    i look at it this way You do the best you can do with what you have available. If you can get better food good if you unfortunately can't due to different reasons then so be it. As long as you are doing your best and providing what you can. But once again what do I know :)
