Every meal! Ditch the doom nuggets!! (sorry, couldn't help myself, you left yourself wide open for that one.) The Australian Vet Governing Body actually recommends that it's vets promote feeding of RMBs at least three times a week, to promote tooth health. If that's all you want to feed...

Sorry, lol, didn't mean to come off THAT way... It was IF your dogs DIDN'T need to be on a low sodium diet that I was wondering about. All those pet foods have their nutrutional analysis on them... Sweet potato is supposed to be good for dogs with lowered sodium intake levels, it's probably...

Yes, I'm alone caring for a crazy dog, and remember the 8months old stage in the middle of winter when we couldn't run it off. There were times that I even crated her when I was home to get some housework done! She's 13 months now, and I make sure to really tire her out with a good run or...

Are your dog's on a low sodium diet? Why? If not, why do you need to calculate this at all? Are you marketing a homemade pet food?

I don't think she's necessarily trying to "justify" it to her vet, but more to prove a point to him. Hey, if she can change his mind about it, then great! How many times have you had the arguments with your vet over raw? Mine just shakes his head now, because I have all the answers....If I...

Yes, that counts!! Even if not prey model specifically, but "frankenprey" which I do, that's great!!!

Anyone feeding this way is asked to please help out a friend that is having issues with her vet. He would like to only see peer reviewed information but in the face of not having any, she is resorting to sheer volume of so called anecdotal evidence and asking people to please email her with the...

Shingles is ALWAYS on one side only, never bilateral, that's one of the diagnostic features of it. It travels along a nerve pathway, and can be painful, yes, but the numbness you are feeling is also a manifestation of the illness. You're lucky you only have a couple of spots, some people get...

Hey, you and me both! I'm going to be getting a "rescue" kitty in about three weeks if all goes well. A friend found some kittens that she is bottle feeding, and if they are healthy, I will be taking one off her hands soon, and my dog is one of those super happy to play types and I worry about...

Beef and pork rib bones are great for cleaning teeth, and a great chew if really meaty. Knuckle bones can be really hard, and are often called "wreck" bones as dogs can break their teeth on them, so stay away from any of these, or remove them once the marrow is out of them. You can give a...

Charlotte loves mackerel, I buy them whole frozen at an Asian grocers and she eats everything but the heads, before they even thaw. She also loves salmon, especially cold smoked salmon that she gets only because it's going bad and I won't eat it. Fresh caught lake trout and bass is always a...

Why go to all the trouble of grinding all that stuff together and then cooking it, when it is much better for them in its natural form? And why add the carbs? Your dog can't digest them anyway. Much better to give them a whole chicken raw, not only will it clean their teeth, it will give them...

Charlotte loves hearts!!! Right now she's working through a 60 lb case of pork hearts, so hasn't had a beef one for a while, but yummy!! Heart is definitely a fave! I don't supplement with fish oil, but I do feed oily fish, so don't need to!

Raw eggs, but sometimes the odd cooked one, just to throw her off!!

try it frozen, maybe it will go over better then.

Wow, good thing we have puppychow now, all the dogs for the last few thousand years were just playing a crap shoot with their meals, eh?

Hi, I started a forum called dogsandchats we are Canadian, and small, and I would love to have any suggestions on how to succeed! Please visit, and if you like, stay and chat. By the way, chat is French for cat, so kitties welcome too!

Are you talking about the clicker training book as the tool that people have trained amazing dogs without, because if you read my op, you would know that I DONT want to use an e-collar, and haven't put my dog in training because I can't find an alternative. I'm not a fan of clicker training...

Thanks, looks like a good read!

I have an eleven month old Pointer, and she is very birdy. I also know a LOT of hunters that want me to train her for field trials, they all say she's a natural. She hasn't been trained to the gun, but for trials I don't think that's a huge concern, though she is sensitive. I have looked...
