    Garlic for fleas? How much

    For Ruckus, give him 3/4 tsp minced garlic in his food every day. For Lynn, give her 1/2 tsp in her food. I breed Westies, and I use garlic for them. Works like a charm! There is a toxin in garlic, but there is so very little you would have to feed them massive amounts daily. It is perfectly...

    Guinea pig "mills"?

    I know you are not supposed to buy a puppy from a pet shop because they almost always come from puppy mills. But does anyone know if thee is any such thing as a guinea pig mill? Just curious.

    Starting a dog bakery, in need of recipes...

    I just found out that I can make a regular dog treat recipe that uses regular flour and I could just substitute potato flour for the wheat flour. You just add a little more liquid.

    Starting a dog bakery, in need of recipes...

    I am going to start a small dog treat bakery. I intend for all the treats to be grain-free. I do make my own treats now, but I only have a recipe for a bread-like cheese treat that does not keep well, plus it has grain. I need recipes for grain free peanut butter, chicken, cheese, and liver...

    My Dog Won't Eat!!! HELP!!!

    The breeder was feeding Nutro, but apparently that stuff is not good. I am now feeding him Chicken Soup for the Dog Lover's Soul, an organic kibble with only human grade ingredients. He is not allergic to any of the ingredients in CS. He eats it fine, with the addition of chicken or eggs. I have...

    My Dog Is Going After My Guinea Pigs!

    Thank you everybody! I will teach him the "leave it" command. How do you go about teaching that? He is getting adequate excercise right now, I will start to really tire him out. The cages are elevated so when he stands on his hind legs, he can't quite see them. They are only scared when he...

    My Dog Won't Eat!!! HELP!!!

    I just got a 1 1/2 yr old Westie. His breeder didn't have the room to take care of a few of her dogs, and since she had 2 studs, she sold us Scout. He is the most wonderful dog I have ever met, he follows me everywhere and is quiet and well behaved. The only problem is, she fed him, along with...

    About how much is your breed going for these days?

    In NC, Westies with good pedigrees are going for $2000 for a PET quality puppy, $4000 + for a Show puppy.:yikes: They are worth every cent of it, though. Mine is a show dog.

    My Dog Is Going After My Guinea Pigs!

    I have a Westie and 3 guinea pigs. The guinea pigs are in cages so Scout can not really hurt them, but he scares them to death with his barking, and constant barking is getting pretty annoying. We taught him the "quiet" command, and do you know what he did? He would go over to the cages, bark...

    HELP!!! 1 1/2 yr old dog pooping inside!

    My Westie is 1 1/2 yrs old, and potty trained, or so we thought. Lately he has been pooping and peeing inside, although we take him out 3 times a day. We have now increased to 5 times per day, and that does not help. Is it canine "adolecent defiance" as I have read? We do not spank him or rub...
