    Bad Dander

    He eats medi-cal. He has been on this food since adulthood. I buy it from the same breeder he came from. A friend suggested putting olive oil or sardines in his food. Where would I find Malaseb. Would the shedding be related to the dry skin? Thanks for the help. LBD

He seems to be getting a little better and will run from one carpet to the next in the attempt to stay with me. I think you are right he does freak on the barefloor sometimes and then...

    Rolling over

    My new to me 2 yr old lab does not want to go on his back and will struggle (to his death it seems) not to. I only tried once or twice and I respect that he does not want to do this and will not force him. Does this mean that I will have trouble training him? I notice when he is outside and...

    Carpet Fetish?

    I just adopted a 2-1/2 yr old male lab from a kennel who used the dog for breeding purposes. He is a beautiful dog who is already trained in basic obedience. when we brought him home he immediately ran and stood on one of our many area carpets. He will come when called as long as he does not...
