Dry food advice...
Hello all! I just started my girl on the dry Wellness Core food. It would be an understatement to say it doesn't agree with her tummy very much - she's as gassy as ever and her stools are not looking so great. I know that sometimes the grain free food can affect their stomachs so I'm...

Avoidance behavior
My dogs have reliable recalls except sometimes Proof and Kuniva as soon as I call they will lift their leg on whatever they are next to. Most the time they dont have any urine left and I know they are only doing this to prolong coming back to me. They happily come in after they mark and they normally...

Best kibble?
Im not sure if anyone remembers, but I posted about it a while ago when my sister had her golden retriever Abbey PTS. She had tumors all over her body, and surgery was not an option. She has decided its time for a new dog. At first she was going to get another golden from the same breeder as Abbey...

How do I teach my dog to jump into the water?
I have a two year old Newfie, so obviously he already loves the water. However, he won't jump in. If I take him to a creek and he can't just walk into the water, we have to wander around until we find a place where he can. This is especially frustrating because there is a section that is deep...

Vet says T-Bone is underweight !
