Ear infection and food
Hey All, My dog has chronic ear infection in one ear. If he is allergic to some type of food would the ear infection occur in both the ears? He is a designer dog, Springador , and has floppy ears. If your dog has similar ears do you have any tips on preventing ear infections? Thanks, SU

how far do you drive for classes?
Well, the agility school we were going to for 2 years has now closed. All of the other facilities are at least 45 minutes away (the place we went to was 10 min away). How far do you travel to your classes?

What brand dry food do you feed...
and why? I have been feeding what I thought was a good food but now have found out it is not bad but is not the best either. I don't want to know about the raw diet because I have researched it and for me it will not work so please only dry foods. Thank you for all you help.

Instead of freezing fresh meat in containers ......
I've switched to using freezer bags. Those containers were taking up way to much room in the freezer. Now when I have an excess of meat for Prancer that needs to be frozen I chunk it up, lay it on a wax paper lined cookie sheet, freeze it and then transfer to a freezer bag. Takes up alot less room...

Trey won't eat
Again... I think the problem is I've started giving him satin balls, so he won't touch his food and waits for the better stuff. I thought maybe homecooked or raw might work better. I'm not really prepared to start raw though overnight. What's a good homecooked diet recipe? Or I have read...

Blue Buffalo or Innova or?
Well, I HATE this, but rising costs of my favorite dog food is forcing me to try to find something else that works while fitting into our budget. Most of you know my fav food is PetGuard Lifespan, I feed dry and canned. One bag of food and one case of cans lasts me a month. So last year the 18lb bag...
