natural/organic doggy cookies
I have begun to make organic doggy cookies. Anyone have any good recipes? With the exception of salt and water of course, everything I am putting in these cookies is organic and healthy for dogs. **content removed advertising** Thanks!

Forti-Flora-Anyone familiar with it?
Willow had a little flare up and they gave her this today along with some other meds. It seems like I've heard the name before but cannot really remember much about it. Does anyone use it and what were your results? Thanks! Lori

Calcium source for homecook food
I'm preparing a bigger than normal batch of food and realized I'm just a tad short on the amount of ground eggshell I need. Just a half tablespoon in this case, so I'm not really worried.....but it got me thinking. In a pinch, can I use the calcium supplement I take ? Serving size is 2 tablets...

Sandy's first trial
We placed 4th!! It was only an inhouse compitition and we weren't there for the ribbons. Just training but after 1 extremely good run, and 3 really bad runs, we walked away with 4th place. I'm happy with that and now know what needs work for next summer.

Natren Animal Probiotics. Anyone try them?
Looks like they have been around for years in the human side of things. Just really starting in the animal probiotics biz. I like the fact that they dont use any chemicals or fillers in their probiotics and that its all made in the USA. They are kind of expensive but they ship their stuff in a refrigerated...

Raw foods
We are adopting a dog (dachshund) that is 5 years old and have heard that raw foods are good for dogs, yet we think he has only been on dry food (Science Diet); should we just stick to the dry food or switch to raw food? We have been told from the shelter that they switch to the puppy food sometimes...

Flapjacks
There are COUNTLESS flapjack recipes out there, but no matter what I do, I can't seem to get them right. I used to make lovely ones, but now they are always too dry and crumbly or too hard, or overdone and black round the edges or so underdone and soft that they fall to bits. ARGH! Another two batches...

Rachael Ray's Nutrish
My dog is just not all that interested in her dog food anymore. I have to add chicken to it to get her to eat. She is eating Natural Balance and her stool is great and there are no morning tummy upsets, so I am very pleased with the food. She just doesn't seem to like it. I know that Rachael Ray's...

Homemade kibble?
Does anyone know how to make kibble at home? I think this would be fun to try, if it works. I know you're probably thinking, why not just homecook and leave it at that? But kibble is so much easier to store and feed, plus when I used to homecook my bichon's white face would get stained so bad...

UKC points - how do they tally?
Nikon did several shows a while back but since he was under 6 months he was only getting ribbons, no points. Yesterday we did an impromptu show since SchH was cancelled, but I have no idea how the points are tallied. He won the male puppy class and was the only dog so he got a blue ribbon and a rainbow...
