Itchy skin...help!
My 7 month old Australian Cattle Dog pup is very itchy around his neck and now in other spots on his body. Its not like "hot spot" itchy - he's not obsessive about it, but is definitely itchy. He is treated with Frontline and we flea-bomb twice a year. Plus I have yet to see any fleas or...

Garbanzo Beans?
Do any of you feed your dogs garbanzo beans? I have a can that I purchased intending to make hummus and I thought maybe they might like them. Nutritionally they seem like a good choice.....

Agility Contact Training
Just wanted to share a small video of Gaci and Shimmer working on their two on-two off contacts. It's more for Shimmer's benefit as Gaci is already doing it on full-sized equipment, but Gaci loves her contacts so much we do them at home just for fun. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MtbsI8Fxwy8...

T-Bone's new diet (Acana)
T-Bone always suffered from loose stools, and after spending a few HOURS talking to the owner of a high end pet store, I decided to try Acana. Within a few days his chronic loose stool went away and he's picking up some pounds. It is 100% grain free, which I think might have been his issue. ...

Conformation Handling - lead/collar positioning
Hey conformation handlers- In another thread, this topic of lead/collar placement on dogs being shown in the conformation ring came up. Rather than clutter that thread, I'm asking those with conformation handling experience to reply. Do you place your collar high on a dog's neck with the intention...

Healthy training treats?
Since I'm training Simba, I was curious as to some treats would be best to give him? Sometimes I just give him some of his kibble, other times I just give him cut up carrots. What would you guys recommend?

Reactions to food
Just an observation, but, I've been cooking for the 3 dogs lately and they are doing great. Darby's tear stains disappeared. Well, time got the better of me and I had to give them a scoop of kibble today- TOTW high prairie. Darby's eyes are staining already and she's back to chewing...

Home Baked Goods

Wellness Dry Food Coupon!
I snagged a $5 off coupon for any Wellness dry dog or cat food - I was going to pick up a bag of Core but then I realized I didn't want to. Anyway, if someone wants it, PM me your mailing addy and I'll stick it in the mail! I'd hate for it to go to waste.
