Please help! I'm a new "Blue" mommy and I'm bringing my baby home in September and I have been researching what to feed him and I'm soooo confused! I have narrowed it down to Eagle Pack Holistic and Taste of the Wild. Now that the GDL has "unendorsed" Eagle Pack, like...

suggestions for obiedence when passing other dogs on a walk

I've posted before about how we are begining training classes with my new 2 year old dog Trixie. She listened very well when we first got her, but i think alot of it was out of being scared in her new situation.

Nutro dry cat food recall.

We're not affected by this recall. For a while, I was feeding Jade Nutro Complete Care but Jade kept throwing up. So, I switched her to another brand that she really likes and it stays down. That was before this problem, as far as I know, maybe not. Maybe it was the reason she was throwing up. This...

couple plead guilty Chemnutra Inc.

http://finance.yahoo.com/news/Couple-to-plead-guilty-in-apf-15424989.html There was also an article I found which when they were indicted a year ago, defended this couple because they stated they "didn't know". What are your thoughts?

Smelly breath and dog food choices

My Mom got a shih-tzu and has been feeding him Taste of the WIld. SHe hated the way his breath smelled on the salmon, so went with another flavor. SHe still thinks he has smelly breath. My dogs eat it, and I don't think their breath is great, but I don't really care either. She does. She called...

We are now in Seattle and desperately seeking a similar place to take our dog. What we really want is a pay-as-you...

As soon as I can order or get this food in my area it's going right...

http://www.horizonpetfood.com/Products/dog_legacy.html\ I'm hoping our Pet Supplies Plus will get it in. I see that others in the central part of the country are carrying it. The ingredient list can't get much better than this. But... it's the companie's ethics and mission statement...

Opinions on Timberwolf Organics?

I am curious what the folks here think about Timberwolf Organics? Has it gone down in quality? Does anyone here use it? What do people think of the food they make or the company itself? Thanks!

Feeding a malnourished dog (Sowilu)

Here is the story: A friend of Tracy does rescue work as well but she ran short of foster homes for an Aussie she pulled from the shelter and so she asked me if I could take care of her, ofcourse I said yes. She arrived today and I never imagine that she would be in the shape she is in right now. I always...

So I was hoping to find out here, from you good folks,...

I have tried to give him 2 cups a day and his chicken quarter but he gets hippy looking. Today I have changed his measurements to 1 1/2 cups in the morning and the same at...

This is getting absurd... (Chelsea)

So Cherokee weighs like 66 or 67 pounds. She should be somewhere around 55-58. She currently eats Orijen, about ONE CUP a day. 1/2 cup twice a day. For a big dog, that's pathetic. And I can't do it anymore, because her weight is not budging. So I feel like I'm starving her for no reason....
