    Raw, healthy diet?

    If you are going to feed raw, feed only raw. No mixing with kibble because of different digestion rates. Raw is acually much cheaper than kibble. I feed raw, feeding six dogs on about $100 month. I don't like Natural Balance because meat is not the first ingrediant. As far as veggies go, you can...

    Woman's dog mistaken for coyote, set loose in wild

    I think the shelter workers need to learn some more about dogs. Didn't they notice it was rather easy to handle for a coyote? I just can't see making that mistake. It should have at least been microchipped and maybe it wouldn't have happenend.

    I Do Not..

    I don't clicker train. I don't see the use in it. However, I do crate train puppies for house training, and to keep all my furniture in tack at night and when I'm not home. Once house trained and out of the "puppy stage" the crate is no more.

    Labour/Delivery Experiances

    Mine was great. I was induced at a week late, and labor pains were never like what I had heard described. I ended up with a c section because Kirby didn't want to come out into the cold! He was out and I never even knew the doctors had started! Wayne and I were just sitting there talking about...

    Good Home made Raw recipes

    Raw is actually considerably cheaper than kibble. Start with chicken (which is how to introduce raw anyway). Chicken is about the cheapest you will find both boneless and bone in. It usually comes in large packs as well. I'm feeding four med. size dogs on about $100-$125 dollars a month. And...

    Is it important to feed 2x a day?

    Unless they are puppies, we just feed once a day. There is a snack or two during the day though most of the time.

    The Food Debate

    Well, I personaly raw feed, but if I were to go back to kibble my first choice would be Orijen/Acana.

    Racial/Racist question....

    My husband is native american as well. Cherokee. The way I see it, he's more american than I am! LOL! Our son, you can't tell any native american with him. Where I live though native american isn't a big thing, but white girls with black men are. Would that be considerd a double standard? I'm...

    Crate Covers

    SmartPak caninehas a good one for different size crates. It's black and thick padding so it can't be pulled into the crate. It's called the Thunderhut because it deadens sound. It looks like it would make a crate a real peaceful place. I have the catalog, but it is probably on their website to...

    San Francisco's new pet law

    Actualy, banning puppy mills would be the way to go. But how can that be done? How can every single miller out there be found and stopped? How can they be stopped from reopening their "buisness" again maybe elsewhere? But I agree. Stopping them would in turn stop petshops from buying from them...

    San Francisco's new pet law

    I agree that the government shouldn't say what can and can't be sold by stores. However, I think their reasoning behind it is looking out for the best intrest of the animals. There are an awful lot already homeless in shelters now, and strays from past owners who just arn't responsible. Not...

    San Francisco's new pet law

    I THINK it only includes puppies and kittens. They are saying they are thinking about it because it influences impulse buys, then a couple of months later these animals end up in shelters. I never heard mention of byb's or puppymills suppling any of the animals, but that was my first thaught. A...

    San Francisco's new pet law

    I was just watching CNN because our local Fox news isn't on at the moment. San Francisco is looking into banning the sale of puppies in pet shops. I think they are including all pets. I hope they do, and I hope many more cities in the country will follow suit.
