His old owner was doing Purina Puppy Chow :( , 1 cup, 2x a day so I started with 1 cup of Diamond 2x a day. He has had large poops 2-3x a day...

Lure Coursing for non-sighthounds?
My friend has a Sheltie and would like to get her into Lure Coursing. She seems interested in it, whereas she is tired of Obedience, doesn't like Agility and not into Flyball. As far as I know only sighthounds are permitted to Lure Course, but someone told me that occasionally other breeds are...

Parsley
Hi, I have been reading up on parsley and dogs. Does anyone add parsley to their dogs diet? I heard a tablespoon of fresh parsley per day for a medium to large dog. If you do use it, why do you use it and have you noticed an improvement in your dog? How do you feed it? I am considering trying this...

Beef "marked with charcoal" ?????????????????
I found what seems to be a great local source for buying raw foods in bulk. Primarily I have been feeding Baily chicken but really want to add other proteins into the mix. Beef seems to be the most readily available, but more expensive. What are your thoughts on the product below? Keep in mind that I...

Expensive versus cheap dog food.
I've always fed my dogs Purina from the grocery store. I think it has the same nutrients as Iams and other expensive foods. It may have some filler that the expensive others don't, but for 45 years my dogs have done fine on it. I know I'll get lectures from the purists who think all dogs...

Mr. Abady has died
I'm new to this site, but did see some very heated debates re Abady dog food (which I've used for 15 plus years now). Mr. Abady's manufacturing/research facility is only 10 miles or so from my home so we picked up the food directly from the factory. This dog food was the primary cure for...

My Dog Wants A Cat, And A Horse, And A Baby Pig Apparently
So, my dog Diego is a huge fan of all other animals. He is very gentle and deferential in that he maintains a respectful distance, smiles, goes into play bow and then in uber-slow motion like a bad actor collapses onto the ground. If the other animal wants to play then he is all for a funny slow-mo game...
