Vet still says switch the dog food I talked to the vet about supplementing instead of changing food. They told me that this generally does not work and recommend changing the food. The food they want me to switch the boys to is Urinary SO by Royal Canine. So I came home and looked it up...

Thanks for the advice guys. I'm going to have to call the vet back and I'll ask if there is a supplement we can add to their diet to help with the issue. Also eliminating doggie treats in favor or carrots and apples as treats in the hopes that that will help some too.

Greetings everyone. I need some advice. I have two Pembroke Corgi fur factories. Kirby (red and white) is 8 years old and Fritz (tri-color) is 6 years old (but he acts like a puppy, dumb-nut). They both had their annual shots and checkups which included bloodwork and urine tests. The vet...

I have been feeding Kirby an egg everyday as you suggested. I was at the petstore yesterday looking at the Glucosamine suppliments and noticed this supplement called Nupro. A lot of people seem to really like it. They also had a product called The Missing Link. When I asked the folks there...

Aha, took a look in the folder of Vet receipts I keep (Very scary folder, many, many receipts in there lol). The flea pill was called Comfortis. Since the Revolution does not work well, I need to decide on a new flea and heartworm medication to give both dogs. We live in Florida so...

OH BOY, another Stumpy! She is so cute. I wonder what Kirby would think of her? He'd probably ignore her and lick the toad too...lol

Hi all. Hoping you can give me some good advice to get my Pembroke Corgi Kirby back in shape and healthy. Feel free to skip the backstory as it's kinda long I guess :D Back Story: He was doing fine until a couple months ago we noticed he didn't want to walk up the stairs to come in the house...

NOTE* Took the boys to the pet shop today. I talked to the guy there about dog foods. Of interesting note, he said Science Diet was probably one of the worst dog foods out there and that the vets get a commision for selling it, so I figured that put them one ahead of the vets right there as...

Thanks again Mordy, I was just thinking about advantix and wondered if it was the brand I heard about being bad for cats. I'm definately going to try the Advantage once the Frontline runs out. I hope there is no chance of health issues switching flea meds, just using one in place of the other...

Ah, and so the hunt begins. Ok, I'll try the Innova Evo as I know where I can get it here in town. Now, do you know how soon I will see a difference? When I treat kirby's ears they should be cleared up in a week or two (noticably) so once he switches food and is not on ear meds, if the...

Ok guys and gals. My boys both (2 pembroke Corgi's) had a nasty flea infestation about 4 months ago. I gave them both several flea baths with flea shampoo (and got lots of flea's off them) and I put this flea killer powder down on the carpet all over the place and worked it in with a broom...

I just switched the boys to Chicken Soup for the Dog Lovers Soul because it was a better food than what they were on. I will keep the ears dry and I do use some cleaning stuff that came from the vet (smells really bad). I was thinking about switching the boys to Innova Evo after this bag of...

So you think the Shedder works better than a Slicker Brush? Corgi's shed something horrible!!!! I use a slicker brush on them and get tons off but if this Shedder works even better I may give it a try! It is available in most pet shops, I've seen them before.

My boy Kirby appears to have an ear infection (or infections as it appears in both ears). He had an infection a couple months ago and it was a yeast infection. It looks like he is getting the same thing again. His ears look a bit red and there is brown gunk in his ears that I clean out daily...

Thanks for the info. After looking over the bag of Chicken Soup food, it states "Adult dog forumla provides complete and balanced nutrition for the maintenance of adult dogs". Uh Oh. What is generally the difference between the "maintenance" and "all stages" foods? Ug, now I gotta go look...

I'm partial to Corgi's and Bull Terrier's! :D

Mordy, Is Innova that much better of a dog food than chicken soup brand? I was looking at the ingrediant comparison list. Here is what they have: Innova EVO Ingredient Name 1. Turkey 2. Chicken 3. Turkey Meal 4. Chicken Meal 5. Potatoes 6. Herring Meal 7. Chicken Fat 8...

I was told that it is a good idea to switch a puppy to adult dog food at 6 months of age. This way they will not be as likely to get overweight and at this age they really no longer need the extra puppy "stuff" in dog food. Has anyone here heard this before and do you think it is a good idea?

Hi, Just wanted to say hello and tell you all that I have two Pembroke Corgi's. I need to get a new picture of my pup Fritz (6 month old tri-colored terror). I've attached a pic of my boy Kirby.

I get them the brand MilkBone :-). They love to get treats after baths, toenail clippings, etc... On the beef bones, etc... I was wondering if the ones you buy in pet shops are ok? I realize getting some nice raw ones from a local butcher would be better, but does anyone know what the...
