THK Zeal
Anyone use Zeal and how are your dogs doing on it? At $108 for a 10lb box... Dogs are curretnly on half raw, half THK Keen and doing well. Althought I don't mind mixing up the THK formulas from time to time for them.

Cat Food- Wellness Canned
http://www.wellnesspetfood.com/letter.aspx I don't know much about cats and their nutritional requirements, but the reason for the recall was because of low levels of thiamine (vitamin B1)

Itchy dog...is it the food?
Hello. We adopted a dog about 2 months ago. About two to three weeks ago he started itching. I'm assuming it is the food, but I'm not sure. Are there certain foods that are better for itchy dogs? We were feeding Merrick, but are switching to Blue Buffalo.

Dinovite vs. missing link?
I've tried the missing link for Dahlia, at the advise of a holistic vet. It hasn't really seemed to help (she's got an autoimmune disorder called dermatomyositis)... but I was told to keep using it for at least 2 weeks - it wont hurt anything (all good stuff). She likes it, so I'll continue...

Kibble alternative to Raw
The dogs and I are going to be on the road for a bit and it is just not feasible to feed raw in an 18 wheeler truck. Lol So I'm just looking for an alternative for the trip. It'll be about a week long so this won't be a long term change. As soon as I'm able, they'll be back on raw...

Flyball Anyone?
I just started Whimsy in Flyball a couple weeks ago and my hubby started his corgi Ziggy. This is the first time our all breed club has offered it. Any Flyballers here? If anyone is curious how it's trained, I'm going to try to get video of our progress each week. This is week two and...

Obedience Conversion????
Ok maybe not fully...yet, but I had NO idea how much fun training obedience could be. This weekend I attended a Bridget Carlsen seminar and it was amazing. I don't know if anyone here has ever been to one, but if you get the chance to attend either as a participant or auditor I highly recommend it...

What Does She Need? Anything??
Ok this past week I have taken a long hard look at Belle. She is fine but I just am not sure she is "as good" as she was a few months ago. Ok the major WOW moment here is WINTER SUCKS. I have not gotten her out as I should, too cold too snowy whatever but due to her condition she has suffered...

Blue-Mature Longevity canned
I got a few cans for Willow since it is fish based. I didn't change her diet or anything but I add a couple of tablespoons in every so often to give her a little nutritional boost. And, she has done well with it-no bowel problems. So, I thought I'd share since I know people are always looking...

The vet put her on Science diet RD ( please no lashings) and of course she lost 4 pounds and began urinating blood and had crystals- which then the vet put her on...

Natural Balance Food Rolls (for treats)
What do you think of this as a dog treat? Earlier, I bought a one pound roll (turkey). I've seen you guys mention them before, some of you saying they work wonders... I think it was Liesje, maybe. I had bookmarked it into my "dog treats" folder a while ago. And then I was just watching...

Acana dog food
Any good? The pet store highly recommends the Lamb and Apple for Maze. They sell trial sizes for a really good price and the large bags are also a decent price. I'm gonna pick up a trial bag today and see how she likes it. I've been eyeing this one for awhile. I trust my petstore since they've...

Bad dogfood again
Last month I took our cat's food back to store, it was bad, had white stuff all over it. (Eaglepack Holistic) last evening again I gave Bonnie her dogfood, she has not eaten any of it for a week, only eats the chicken I put on the top of it. I poured some out of the bag and it was bad also, stuff...

Rice Noodles
I made Pork ans Shrimp Pancit a Filipino dish last night with rice noodle vermicelli, the only thing I could find. The dish is great but the noodles yuck, well the pups thought they were to die for. The recipe just calls for a 6.75 ounce package rice noodles. Clueless about these noodles, I found some...
