Today I was walking my black lab when I found a bunch of people trying to catch a little chihuahua. None of them really wanted to get ahold of him but were concerned about him being hit by a car, so I ran across the road and got him. Nobody claimed him or had seen him before so I walked him...

It just occurred to me that I have had Riley for almost 3 months and I have not increased the amount of food he gets by much. Is this ok? I currently feed him 2 cups of Timberwolf Wild and Natural a day plus about 12 ounces of raw. He started on about 8 ounces of raw, so this is all I have...

In December I got my first male dog. I grew up with female dogs, and I never IMAGINED it would be so different to have a male. We've always had labs, and I have never seen this in them before, so I was wondering if it's a "male" thing. My puppy is almost 7 months old, and he is the biggest...

Hello everyone. Over the weekend, my 6 1/2 month old lab puppy was playing and cut his outer leg in the pull-out couch. I knew it needed stitches, so we called our vet. However, we were in the middle of a blizzard/ice storm, so he wasn't able to meet me to look at it (it happened about 10:30...

My puppy Riley is almost 6 months. I didn't get him until he was around 4 months. Just recently we have started having some problems with him tipping his water bowl over. Just about every time I fill it he sticks a paw in it and dumps the whole thing! There is nowhere in my house without...

Could anyone tell me when most large breed (75-100 pounds as adults) puppies hit growth spurts? Are the biggest ones over by the time they are 6 months, or is this a time when most grow a lot?

Hello everyone. As some of you might know, I have been switching Riley to a primarily raw diet, and things are going great. I previously had him on Chicken Soup for the Dog Lover's Soul. I had been planning on switching him to only raw, but after some thinking, I would like to keep him on...

Hello everyone. Some of you have probably read my threads about Riley. I don't think I had mentioned that he is from a BYB. I wasn't aware of what I should or shouldn't be looking for when I got him, and he ended up having to have surgery for entropion and he had a pretty bad case of ear...

Today we started feeding raw. As of right now, we are just feeding one raw meal a day and 2 smaller kibble meals until the bag of food is gone. For his first meal he had chicken thigh, ground beef, and beef liver with around a spoonful of plain yogurt. He also had a fish oil capsule, a...

I have been doing a lot of research about the BARF diet and came across a website that simplified it a lot. I think it was Raw Food Ranch or something similar. I have sketched out sort of a plan and was wondering if any of you who feed raw could look it over and see if I'm on the right track...

My 5 month old lab puppy currently eats Chicken Soup for the Dog Lover's Soul adult dog food. He was recently switched from the large breed puppy formula of the same brand as a recommendation from the vet. My question is this...our vet carries Solid Gold, California Natural, and Chicken Soup...

I have a male lab who is almost 5 months old. Both parents were big for labs (75-80 pounds and 90-95 pounds). He currently weighs 47 pounds and is growing rapidly despite my careful attempts to control his intake. He gained 5 pounds in 11 days! I assume he will be a large dog, and I want to...

I have an 18 week old lab pup and was wondering if there are benefits to raw supplementation. I do not have the time it takes to feed primarily raw, but would love to offer him a cornish game hen or other raw meats occasionally if it is safe and beneficial. If anyone could offer advice about...

Hi. I am new to the forum and excited to hear what everyone thinks about my puppy! He is a black lab and was born August 12. That makes him roughly 18-19 weeks old (I think). I got him on December 10 and found out (unfortunately) that he had to have surgery to correct entropion on his bottom...
