    Benadryl question

    I've used both before. As far as I know, as long as you are using plain Benadryl you are fine...don't use the stuff with the added decongestant, and be careful of the liquids. But, that stuff looks ok.

    Low prey-drive breeds?

    My Newf has a low prey drive...except for snakes, she loves the chase those! I have many pics of Ebony with my cats, rabbit and ducklings, but I have been told by other Newf owners that they could never get pics like that with their Newf. Obviously there is a huge genetic component to prey...

    Charlie's itchy skin Update

    I give my girl Nzymes. I think they have really helped to boost her immune system and she has less skin "episodes" now. She has environmental allergies and last summer was awful, but with Nzymes we have had no hot spots this year!

    Pics of my Newfie

    That's funny that you mentioned "show newfs" oc_spririt and RD. I too do not like what the show world trend is doing to the breed. The coats are too heavy, the flews are too loose, the eyes are too droopy and the heads are getting way too big. These are Newfs, not Saints and they shouldn't...
