My dog has been vomiting. She used to do it as a puppy, when I'd take her in the car or after she downed a bunch of water, so I never really thought much of it. She's always kind of vomited every now and then, but in the past month she's been vomiting off and on a little more frequently (and...

I just took the dogs to the vet and he seemed very against me switching to raw. Ive been switching the dogs slowly and they seem to like it but as I've only been feeding it to them for a few weeks I dont really notice a drastic change yet so I couldnt really back it up that it was better for...

Hi, Shadow seems to have constipation. He tries to go but nothing comes out. This has only been happening today, yesterday he went fine. I did a search and found some of the suggestions and was going to try the canned pumpkin. I just had some follow up questions, how much should I give him...

So, things were going so well between shadow and the new pup, they even started playing with eachother in the morning. Last night I finally got out to see a movie. I got home, said hi to shadow, went and got the pup out of the crate and took them both outside. They went potty and poop and we...

Ive just been kind of randomely thinking about dogs and kids, especially since I've gotten the puppy. Now, shes afraid of new people and TERRIFIED of children (we're in puppy training to work on socializing, starts next week!). But, since she's a puppy, allllll the kids want to touch her...

So, I obviously am having a brain fart and cant remember what those things are actually called. The ones the dogs wear to carry things around, like a vest. What dogs are those appropriate for? When can you start using one? Im just brainstorming things for the pup to do, but since shes a...

Hi, I was watching animal planet today and they had a little special on lure coursing. Soooooo awesome!!! I'm not planning on doing this anytime soon, or with the dogs i have now (Shadow would just stand there like, "ummmm, im sooo not running after that. Mom, go get it for me." and the pup...

Hi, I just moved to columbia, sc a month or so ago and Im trying to find a vet. I hate just picking one out of the phone book so I was wondering if anyone knew of one, or knew of someone who knew of one, etc. Anywhere in the columbia, lexington, irmo area would be fine. Thanks!

My new pup just came home from the shelter two days ago. She was infested with fleas which are now gone but she has scabs and scratches all over and still constantly itches, especially behind her legs in the 'armpit' area. Also, she has diarrhea. I know this is from switching from whatever...

Hi, I've posted here a couple times without really introducing myself, mostly because I was a bit flustered trying to find a new dog and such, but, now that she's here, I feel introductions are in order. About me: I live in SC, am in graduate school, ride horses and pretty much just love my...

Miss New Dog No Name. :D I posted on here a little bit ago asking what everyone thought she might be. Well, I went down to animal care and control to have a look at her and wound up bringing her home :lol-sign: She isnt exactly what I was looking for, a little small, but she was just so...

Hey everyone, I've been looking to get a new dog, posted on here a while back, and settled on a dobie. I contacted my local rescue league and they just dont have anything and I've been waiting for so long. I've been checking petfinder and looking around, but still no luck since I wanted a...

Hi everyone! I posted a while ago in the breed forum asking for advice on what kind of dog would be a good companion for me and my horse. Thanks to everyone for such great info. I started looking around and kind of stumbled on a 4 mo doberman rescue pup. Even though the timing was a little...

Hi. I posted a while ago about getting a new dog to work around my horses. Thanks to everyone for all the great advice!! Once I finally do get the new dog, I definately want to take a training class with it. I was wondering if there were certain certifications I should look for when choosing...

I am looking to get a new dog. I have done a lot of research on different breeds but was hoping someone might have first hand advice on my situation. I live in South Carolina and have a horse. We have over 60 acres so there are a lot of trails in the woods and large feilds. I am looking for...

My roommate has a very intelligent labradoodle, about a year and a half old. She spends very little time with the dog, maybe 5 min a day. We live on 10 acres, so usually the dog is allowed to just run around building nervous energy all day. The dog knows basic commands like sit, stay, come...
