Oh, believe me, I've been searching for days, reading this & that. I'm pretty sure I'm going to go with Embrace; they seem to really "care" about these older guys.
Price point in Pet plan, I...
Annkie - a PUPPY is the prime candidate for insurance - I use to work in a vet clinic, TRUST me, expenses in the $5k plus range can rack up at the blink of an eye. I can't put money into a savings...
I will start out by saying I've had Pet Plan for 4-5yrs, with ok results for only having to ever file 2 very small claims for 2 separate dogs.
I had no problems in continuing to pay premiums, etc,...
How funny... left for over a year to recover from ovarian cancer; return out of the blue just for something fun & different. Didn't think these kinds of threads were still occurring.
Feed what...
IMHO has nothing to do with bones....bacteria happens. If anything, I actually haven't experienced "any" stomach bacteria crud since switching all dogs to raw 3yrs ago, prior to that, yes, I would...
If original poster is still around, I too started my big guy on raw ground beef 3.5yrs ago for the first 6wks, then quickly moved onto adding other proteins with bone ground in it. After 10wks I...
Yes...I still have trouble keeping weight on that boy!! He's extremely active, even today at 8yrs old!!
In fact, he dropped from 62lbs to 56lb a good 2mnths ago, finally got him back to 58lbs - -...
5338 Blue merle Pomeranian, one & only dog purchased from a breeder in our lifetime. But we wanted a puppy that would learn to adapt & deal with 2 big rowdy dogs; she's been an excellent fit!! Came...
5334533553365337 Figured it out.... here are a few of our gang taken just last week. It's amazing how well they all get along!!
Awesome...feels great to be remembered!!
I'm honestly trying to figure out the picture thing; can't seem to remember how to do it. Can someone help me??
I myself underwent stage 1 ovarian...
Rivers is my blonde German Hovawart; his best friend Creek, best we can tell, is a white Australian shepherd merle mixed with yellow lab.
New to our gang almost a year ago this month, is Meka - -...
When I fed Canine caviar, my girl drank TONS of water too & actually ended up with a couple of UTI's, my understanding is CC is high in ash - thus the reason for excessive water intake.

Royal Canin has been around a long time; while I never fed it, many dogs have done great on it over the years.
For years I felt dry dog foods had different levels of quality; but truth be told,...
There are MANY dogs that live quite a few years with renal failure if it's caught early & protocols are followed; which includes a diet VERY high in moisture, not dry food, IMHO.
Keep your...
Reason kibble with higher proteins cause kidney issues is they're so condensed & just that *dry* - cat nor dog are designed to eat a total dry food type diet, all of it can be rough on their kidneys,...
Forgot to ask - does Fran have any actual *medical issues* - organ weaknesses? etc that would warrant such a long-term wait vs getting this issue resolved?
I can't stand a dog in pain; personally;...
Here's my opinion - I understand surgery right away is not recommended; BUT U have a dog in *severe* pain, not just uncomfortable, this is true pain that can lead to other *major* side effects due to...
My first reaction if I had a dog not eating and it was eating dry dog food - would be to *instantly* start feeding homecooked chicken/rice with some chicken juice left into the mix and a tad bit of...
My first question to U - what dry food are U feeding? There have been known cases for the last 10-15yrs of dry dog foods causing sudden illnesses, even deaths quite often. So it's worth the question.
A puppy that young - irregardless when you feed him last - WILL still be waking U up at night to go out. That's completely normal.
In fact, when we got our puppy at 4mnths old, thought it was odd...
Turn it around; give him the 1 full cup in the morning meal - he's more active in the morning then he's going to be expending an hour before bedtime. He might just very well do *better* with the...
Couldn't agree more.
Beneful - is no different; their commercials advertise fresh cuts of meat/vegetables; so I'm not sure where the difference is here. Isn't Beneful made by Purina??
Beneful...
Also....I don't mind the questions, gives me something to do right now....I'm on bed-rest following surgery, so ask away :)
I will tell U first hand, 90% of your regular vets out there do not agree or recommend raw diets; for one, vets in general do not take nutritional classes during their schooling. They only get quick...
