Skin changes
I have a 6-month-old puppy Boston Terrier that recently developed about 10-15 freckle/mole like, round, spots on his lower abdomen (looks like more are coming). They're dark in color but still transparent (if that makes sense). He's also developed two larger (half the size of a penny) moles ...

DinoVite: Has anyone used it?
My Lab is perfect (whose isn't?), but has developed allergies. Typical symptoms of hair loss and some weight loss. Vet isn't sure whether it's food or airborne. That said, I found a product called Dinovite which seems to be a nice, natural approach to solving the problem. Their website...

Tyler is FINE!
Couldn't wait any longer so went ahead and CALLED the vets office and Tyler is awake and sitting up. They removed the tooth and the family jewels both. I sent his bed with him and a toy that he loves just in CASE they make me leave him overnite, but that's NOT my plan. But, regardless, the kennel...

Yorkie Grooming
I was just wondering if there are any Yorkie owners out there who could share with me their experiences on Yorkie grooming. Do you let your Yorkie's hair grow long or keep is short? If you let it grow long, do you groom your dog often? Thanks!

pure paws products?
Have you used pure paws products? They have just been introduces to Mexico, and they are really expensive. I am willing to buy them if they are as good as they claim they are. Has anyone got experience with them? Are they really good? All opinions are welcome, good or bad.
