Oh and Dorothy, I would recommend a food change, not a fan of Diamond foods, try Purina Pro Plan Sport/Performance 30/20

Giardia is notoriously difficult to manage, they easily reinfect themselves if their gut biome is not healthy to begin with, and his has been through the ringer. I highly recommend a good quality Pre...
Jeff I am so sorry, Hemi lived his best life with you.
My heart is broken for you both. Godspeed Hemi, God Bless You Jeff
Please do not "Rehome" him.
Call your breeder and ask what you can do, breeders, if they are decent anyways, always want their dogs to be happy and well adjusted, and are happy and thrilled to get...
Barry, thats a lot of drugs!
My one piece of medical advice is an old nursing adage, "stay ahead of the pain, not chasing the pain" Which just means, take your pain meds on a schedule, even...
I will say, Labradors *should* be fine with either gender as a new companion. As Smartrock said, I have multiple females, all intact and related to each other (grandmother, daughter, granddaughters...
Barry, I am sorry, dang. :-(
Who is blaming Purina?
I feed Pro Plan and had big litters last year, 6 and 11, and usually have a good number of puppies in my litters.
I haven't heard anyone blame Covid or Purina for missing?...
Yes! I get it through Tom, he ships really fast. Its the best probiotic I have ever used.
I am so sorry, I haven't replied before now. For baby puppies I use the paste, for older puppies and adults I use the powdered formula.

I am so sorry. Godspeed Tilly.
I have two 15 week old Labrador puppies that I just weighed today. The Chocolate (Phoebe) is 36 lbs and the Black (Maren) is 34 lbs.
That being said, puppies will usually grow to approximately...
Great read!! Thank you
The gut acts as the major immune system from birth on, so it makes sense to do what we can to foster a great gut biome for our dogs. I use an amazing probiotic, and start my...
Oooooh!
Is Brooks going to be a dad? :image019:
I am really sorry, Barry and Susan, and Brooks too, for your loss.
I know how hard it is to let them go, in your arms, she knew you loved her so.
I am really sorry to hear that you had to let Niner go. You gave him a great gift, of knowing when to ease his crossing, he knows how much you loved him.
Godspeed Niner, and I hold you and your...
With the DCM scare, feeding a grain inclusive food isn't a bad idea.
For what it is worth, I have fed Purina Pro Plan for a long time, and appreciate the research and development behind their...
I am so sorry Barry, and Susan, I know how hard this is.
I am glad you got some great advice on the CT group on Facebook, it was good to see you asking questions there.
My thoughts are with you...
Ah yes, the bane of dog owners everywhere. Poop eating.
Yes, they do learn to eat poop from watching other dogs do it, or they just get curious and try it... etc... There are a lot of theories...
I am sorry Sue, but I totally agree with not keeping him, he was misrepresented and could be a dangerous liability. I too, feel for the dog, but you didn't let him down, his owner(s) did.
I know...
Furminators do an OK job of getting undercoat out, which you DO want, when they are shedding, what the furminator Does do, is damages the top coat, there are little blades inside that cut and damage...
Most people don't feed their rapidly growing puppies enough.
They should be gaining 2-4 pounds a week, not per month(!), (until about 6-7-8 months old, or later, then growth might slow some) should...
Nope, some lines tend to come in later than others, and some sooner than others.
They generally follow the pattern of their dams and grand dams, etc... of how old they are when they come into heat...
I see no issue crating in the daytime her for 6 hours and 45 minutes one day a week. She will let you know if it is too long, but frankly, my 4 month olds go that long, just a day or two a week, and...
I wouldn't change a thing, he looks perfect.
Boys need more calories for longer than the girls, so keep him on the 4 cups a day until he is obviously is getting too much food, (sausage shaped...
