Oatmeal in Kibble?
So I've been feeding TOTW for about 1/2 a year now and I want to switch Tyson to another brand, just to change it up a little as I heard they can develop food allergies if he eats the same kind of kibble for too long. I'm looking into Wellness, Wellness Core, and Solid Gold. I don't remember...

I argue with myself
Seriously, my brain just can't take it. For the last... almost 5 months, now, Emma has eaten Hills Z/D. She hasn't thrown up, or had diarrhea, once, since March. I know that doesn't sound exciting to many people, but if you have one of those dogs, you'll understand, LOL. She did start...

Grizzly Salmon Oil?
I seem to remember a number of people mentioning that they use this product - anyone want to share their experiences with it? I'm currently giving the dogs each a 1000mg salmon oil capsule daily per my vet, but I'm wondering if the pump bottle would give me more bang for my buck now that I have...

Another cat food question
I was talking with my mom about the food she feeds her cat and she wanted my help in choosing a better food for her. Am I looking for the same types of things in cat food as I would in dog food (no by products, etc...)? I assume the commercial brands aren't any good as in dog food. I was thinking...

Agility Brag
So Kota and I went to a trial this past weekend and we ran 6 runs, 3 on Sat and 3 on Sun. USDAA too. We're in P3 now and we ran Gamblers, Snooker and Jumpers on Sat, and Perf. National Standard, Snooker and Jumpers on Sun. We did not get the gamble on Sat but he ran with me and ran so very nice through...

Cat food help
Right now Kameo eats No Name seafood kibble (free fed) and 1/4 can wet food (fancy feast) in the morning. I'm wanting to switch Kameo fully over to wet food. He's active, a decent weight thou he could use to lose a pound or two. His coat could be softer and he's got a bit of dandriff. Since...

Serving size for a small dog *Updates with pictures*
Sandy is my first small dog so this is a new thing for me...Bare with me. Lol. When I got Sandy, she was eating about a cup of kibble a day. I got her at 4 months. Now she'll be a year in July and has tapered off to about 1/2 a cup a day. I'm wondering if that's enough for her. She doesn't...

Sport Books & Videos
Anyone know of any good ones? I'm looking for mainly schutzhund stuff, but anything that might relate would be cool. I can't wait to get the Michael Ellis vidoes that are supposed to be coming out. Ugh! But anyhoo, just curious if anyone has seen any good videos that they'd recommend. More...

For those that trial/show and feed raw...
You do realize that 'freeze dried' raw food is the alternative than packing a full cooler of ice for the raw food right?

HUGE BRAG (jennie_c_d)
Today, we had a rally trial in Savannah. Ena was also entered in prenovice obedience, which was way too late in the afternoon. She fell asleep on the long down, but that's not the point of this post :D Emma earned her RAE today! I forgot to give her the first dose of phenobarbital, this morning,...

Judge Dorothy Nickles
aww. I am hearing she has only days left and is hospice care. It's sad. She was one of the few judges I have ever personally shown for and I was TERRIFIED...but she put me at ease and was very nice and encouraging and gave me handling tips in the ring in a very nice way. My vet is apparently...

Tracking and Scent Work - Can it be self taught?
Do you need to go to a class or trainer to teach tracking and scent work, or can you do it yourself with books/internet/DVD's? Obviously if you want to do it formally/competitively you would need to be getting expert tuition. But if you just want to try it out to have fun with your dog and...

Sheep Training Videos - Really Nice
My friend Denise put several videos up which show the progress of a young Border Collie from 8 months to 22 months, in sheepdog training. It's a little technical but pretty easy to follow with the video. The last ones are really awesome even if you don't have an interest in sheepdog training...

Food vs. Environmental Allergies
I went back and searched my name in the archives (funny, I know lol) but it seems every February-ish through the fall I start complaining about Darby's ears or yeasty lips or feet. Once again I'm having the same issue with her- since about March and her ear keeps festering now. I'm starting...

Brookcove...will adding potassium - UPDATE
perk him up? Seriously, Rivers is not normally a boundless energy morning dog; he gets up with normal gusto (for him) eats breakfast and goes out and runs the fence for about 10min before coming back and slouching up against a wall for a morning nap. But this morning, he flew out of bed, ate, and...
