    Spaghetti with hotdogs in it?

    This. Hot dogs, no. Sausages, yes. Preferably with vodka sauce and shredded cheese, yum.

    Police / army dogs (of any discipline) are they safe?

    All I'll say is that a lot of departments (may vary by state/province or country) only have fitness tests for new recruits. These places are where you'll see obese/unfit police officers. This is a problem that needs to be addressed, for the safety of both officers and the public. I have respect...

    Fattening up a dog without the diarrhea

    Odin will eat until he pukes. And if he doesn't puke he'll have the runs for the next day. He's a complete food hound and would probably push me into traffic on the promise of a biscuit. I'd go back to 100% raw if it didn't more than double my food cost. Meat is stupidly expensive here. ETA...

    Fattening up a dog without the diarrhea

    He'll be 5 in September. I don't know who his breeder is, I adopted him from the SPCA when he was 11 months old. I think part of why he doesn't look so great is because he's lacking muscle tone. He had a couple injuries this year that kept him very sedentary.

    Fattening up a dog without the diarrhea

    Thanks so much. I talked to a staff member, they're going to see if they can order it in and give me a call back.

    Fattening up a dog without the diarrhea

    Haven't tried the canned food, no. He was on a totally raw diet before and did quite well. He was even on Satin Balls when I first got him (*very* skinny) and didn't have the same gut upset that he's having now. I don't know what's changed. Could it be having him on kibble *and* raw that's doing...

    Fattening up a dog without the diarrhea

    Thanks for your reply. He's on Cal Natural Grain-Free Chicken - 454.0 kcal/cup. He gets a little over four cups a day. I'm hesistant to switch kibbles because it took a long time to find one that he did well on. He has some food allergies/sensitivities to grains and some protein sources (like...

    Fattening up a dog without the diarrhea

    Well, it seems like Satin Balls, even my modified version with more starch and no added oil, is giving my dog the shits. I just can't be cleaning this up all day and I'm at my wit's end. If I feed him too much kibble, he gets the shits. If I feed him satin balls, same result. When I work I can't...

    Your dog breed?

    I love Dobermans, and I thought I'd definitely get another but after pondering the health issues for awhile, I'm not so sure anymore. The next one will probably be a smaller, longer-lived breed.

    Would you eat in a restaurant alone?

    Tch. Order something that can be diced with a fork/grasped in one hand/folded and speared without risk of springing off the fork. If it can't do any of those things, it's not worth eating. What happens next is much more important.

    Seven asked me to post and find out what was going on, what's the problem?

    I was looking for posts by SevenSins and it seems like this member's username and account has been deleted; I was wondering why that is?

    Lick Sores

    So there's no evidence of pain in his hip or elbow joints, but he is tender around the base of his spine. The vet thinks the stress of moving last month plus the soreness may be the cause of the licking. Going to do a week of meloxicam to see if it helps, and I'm going to try and do some...

    Lick Sores

    I'll try the honey. I did put a harness on him once so far, but it doesn't rub wear he's licking. I'm thinking perhaps I just overdid it with him and didn't take enough time to taper the physical activity up. He has an appointment at the vet tomorrow for a cursory physical exam for dysplasia...
