xracer4844, Vizslas are beautiful dogs. I’d love to have one. Like the GSP, great for runners (which even on my best days isn’t me). I’d be able to hike long enough on weekends for them but on a day...

I haven’t been in in forever but I find myself with some free time these days and I’ve been visiting the site. Our Stella had surgery on both knees close to 3 years ago at the age of 3. We went to...
No experience either. Wanted to send good thoughts.
No experience but sending good thoughts for whichever way you go.
I don’t know anything about TPLO but wanted to say your lab looks lovely and fit seated by the window. I wish him a full and uneventful recovery. He looks like he wants to run across that field...
The town Oban's Vet is in has a waterfront park on Georgian Bay where waterfowl congregate all year and in greater numbers in winter as the small part of the bay does not freeze, though it was frozen...
Hey, I remember you, welcome back, even under these bad circumstances. Cookie had torn both his acls about ten years ago, we did extracapsular on one knee and the other healed with traditional...
This is basically what I do when my litters start to get the "idea" of chewing on my hands, toes, clothes, etc at ~5 wks. It's quite effective and has no lingering side effects other than I tend to...
Not in my experience. I had a female that was the proverbial land shark, this was long before the internet and the wide range of info available on the subject. It turned out that puppy had bad hips...
My Zeke is about 27 months old. Like xracer4844 my boy only needs a leash for walks around the neighborhood streets, and even then that's more for his protection than the need to leash him. If I take...
If you haven't got him leash trained by 10 month using normal methods, I would put a pinch collar on the dog. I had my boys trained at 4 months in a few days. Some never seem to learn, like one of...
I am NOT a new puppy owner. If you would have bothered to read my original post this is my 3rd puppy and even though it has been almost 11 years since I had a puppy I know the behaviors of the...
I was watching a TV show (Dr. Pol) and the vet blamed the dog's case of bad intestinal distress on getting into the trash and eating raw meat. I about laughed and fell off the couch.
You should feed kibble as a meal and RAW as another meal, but not together, each digests at a different pace. For starters, try feeding freeze-dried raw and see how Dexter and you like it.
On a...
Oh, Kimber. You took a piece of our hearts when you left us.
Kimber was sweet, and gentle, and patient, and focused, and happy. She was a terribly BUSY puppy, always on the go, always wanting to...
I get the feeling that study tested pre-pared raw food. ?? Most food pre cut/ground food loses nutrients through oxidation and has more surface area to develop bacteria, germs on. It could be meat...
Sure enough, feed kibble. Just ask any ordinary vet, that's what they will say. There are a few vets and nutritionists though who think otherwise.
One of my vets (long time lab breeder, retired now from breeding) posted this on FB the other day. NEWStat | New study: dont feed pets raw meat
When we went raw the thinking was changing from do not mix kibble and raw to studies supposedly showing that the digestion rates didn't matter and were actually the reverse of what was thought. I...
When I switched to raw, I tossed kibble completely. I have no experience with mixing these two (what are your reasons?) but if you need advice on raw feeding only I'm here. There are a few raw...
I have heard that you can change kibble for some meals, raw for other meals, just not both the SAME meal. But there are lots of things you can do other than raw. Being on the same kibble for 4...
Hello,glad you are back. I am no expert, but have read that you should not do dry food then raw, then go back to dry. The foods digest at different rates and it takes some time for the digestive...
Same here...definitely remember Dexter.
We have raw feeders...you should get some input.
No advice, bit nice to see you again!
I agree, we all learn from these kinds of threads. I have a 16 week old and I was enjoying reading all the puppy advice. Its been 7 years since I have had a little one in the house
