Filling Emma up

I'm thinking it's probably all in vain, but.... I'm working on ways to fill Emma up, in my head, LOL. She was perfectly happy, with her 4 oz, twice a day, treats and chews in between. She started on seizure medicine, and now she's decidedly NOT happy with the food she's getting. She's...

Orijen Puppy

Hello all-- Just wondering for a friend of mine---Orijen Puppy-how large are the kibble? I know that in the adult formula, the kibble is a bit large and flat as compared to something like EVO, in which the kibble is very small. She will be feeding a small breed puppy. Thanks for any input.

Yogurt or Cottage Cheese?

I went grocery shopping and was gonna pick up some cottage cheese for the dogs but started looking at the yogurt. I noticed there was big differences in the 2. Which one is better? Can I feed more than a spoonful or is a spoonful enough?

Just when you think the search is over.........

Many of you know that I have had to search for a kibble for Bugsy that doesn't contain chicken, turkey or egg (any aspect of those) but is high in protein and kcal dense. So back in August a local small dog bakery got their hands on Orjen Fish. Far and away this is the best food I have fed him and...

Where to buy honest kitchen products?

My local pet food store is raping me with their prices. Any online sources that's reasonable or should I just order from Honestkitchen.com?

Multivitamins

I'm looking for a high quality daily multivitamin that does not contain tryptophan for a dog that will also be on a low protein diet, and tryptophan supplementation. Anyone got any ideas?

food for urinary/kidney problems?

As some of you know, Wyatt has had some problems with UTIs lately. He had a kidney panel, and his creatinine was high normal but BUN was normal. I'm a little paranoid since my last ridgeback had some renal problems. Anyway, kind of for prophylactic reasoning...what would be a good food for dogs that...

Healthy, homemade treats!

Sam is such a piggy! In about 3 weeks he's chowed down on $20 worth of treats! So, to keep from blowing all my money on dog treats - I'd love to start making my own. Can all of you guys that feed home-made or raw food help me out with some recipes?

Not doing so well on raw

I have 3 small dogs. They were on California Natural kibbles but a couple days ago i started them on NV Raw food. I made the switch cold turkey cause i read on several sites that raw doesnt digest the same as kibble and not to feed together. I was then reading about PMR and have given them raw chicken...

Feeding tripe....

I found a butcher shop in our area that sells "nothing added to it" tripe. Jack is 60 lbs and Sally is 55 lbs. I was thinking of feeding them a meal entirely of tripe occasionally. Is it OK to do this? If so, how often can it be done and how much should I give?

What do you all think about..

Artemis Power Formula? I can get a 40lb bag for 56 bucks with free shipping on K9cuisine. This will be for Lillie and maybe Joker. I am gonna try Evo with Lillie but if I can get this food to work then that will be great since there is more food offered. Or should I just forget this food and go with...

Honor's First Rally Trial, Good Thoughts, Please?

So, Honor and I have our first Rally Obedience trial this Saturday morning. To say that I am nervous would be a gross understatement! But we've been practicing hard, and I'll admit to hoping for a Q, but I really just want us to have a good time. I figure it will be a good experience, getting...

Begging

Not really sure where this should go but it's food related so I'll put it here. Maze was never a big begger. She'll stare from across the room and that's fine with me but she's never been in your lap kind of begging. Until recently! This past week, since I've been home, it seems...

Good food? not homemade....

Hey, Myself and my dog Jaxon are new here. I recently picked him up from the Catahoula Rescue North East. He is a Cathoula Leopard Mix, most likely Great Dane or Mastif. I couldn't ask for a better dog than him. Excellent learner, great listener, playful, yet calm when needed, sometimes lazy, great...
