My weird raw egg concoction.

I was wondering if this recipe would be ok for a morning snack: 6 eggs with shell (crumbled), 12 ounces of baby food (green beans, carrots, butternut squash, etc.) 6 teaspoons of yogurt, and a splash of water to ease mixing. I then mixed it well and pour them into a mini cupcake tray. Freeze then...

Feeding canned salmon with bones in it........

Posted this question inside of another thread, only I can't remember which one. So, figured I'd ask it again. I've been feeding my dogs canned salmon two or three times a week, the kind either from Walmart or Vitamin Cottage, it does contain bones. Are these bones harmful to them? ...

For those with hyper dogs..

Am I the only one who is having amazing results with homecooked for my dog!!??...... I can't believe how much calmer Martini became after only a week of homecooked food! Plus her fur is so much softer and glossier, no more dandruff, and talk about her having the perfect small poops. And all this...

Silly question, bear with me

Thanks to a combination of circumstances, I did something last week which I almost never do, I ordered all my groceries online and had them delivered. Lazy to the extreme, I know, I know LOL. I wasn't paying the strictest attention at one point and instead of the 2 wild rainbow trout fillets I *meant...

Eating dirt? All of a sudden?

OK no doubt B isn't the most discriminating dog but he has never just tucked into dirt until yesterday. I stopped to chat to two ladies on our walk and he just started eating some mud while we were stood there. Had a laugh with the ladies as he had never done it before and gathered it was a one time...

Bravo or Nature's Variety?....

..........which one would you feed? We just had a new pet shop open that carries both NATURE'S VARIETY and BRAVO raw frozen diets. I don't know which one is better or which one to try first.

Is there still a problem with Chicken Jerky?

My boss's dog has occasional potty issues and he finally narrowed it down to the Chicken Jerky that they purchased at Sam's Club. All the info and articles I find are about a year old. Does anyone know if this is still an issue with any/all brands of jerky?

Mouse needs a schedule

I have a new foster until Monday and I don't know how much to feed him. His other foster mom is away in SC and I don't know if the schedule she had him on is the right one. I have to call her and ask her but I just got from the vet and I fed him a cup of dry kibble. I don't have any of the...

Changes coming to Pro Plan (for those who use it)

I just got an email from Purina that the Lamb, Beef and Chicken regular formulas are becoming Pro Plan shredded. I am rather unhappy to see formula changes after years and years of the consistancy that many dogs must have. I know that many here could care less, but to those you do use it be aware...

Rancid smelly kibble, first time ever: Solid Gold

I do not know if it just coincidence but my last two bags of Solid Gold kibble, Just a Wee Bit, have not been good. I have never had a problem before and have fed my cairn Solid Gold kibbles for years. The first bag was fine until it was 2/3 empty then it smelled rancid and my dog had diarrhea. I bought...

what is lamb "meal" and rice bran?

What exactly is lamb "meal" or any other meal in dog food? How is lamb meal different from just lamb? Should I give my dog a food with "meal" in it? Also what is rice bran and is that a good or bad ingredient? Thanks, Michelle

Help! Can't find an Agility class... **Update**

OK, I'm a little frustrated. Some of you may recall that a while ago the training club I used to go to specified the prerequisites for agility class. Morrison and I faithfully completed all the requisites, which were useful anyway (obedience, CGC etc), and signed up for the next agility class...

Question regarding protein and calories

I rotate foods and I'm quite happy doing so. I went to petsmart to get some Blue Buffalo Wilderness which had like 42 percent protein, they were out so the Blue rep that was there asked if I would consider getting one of the other flavors that's not high protein. She told me even though the Wilderness...

Do I really need to buy Science Diet J/D?

I feed Wellness and I give joint supplements to my dog, per my holistic vet. My conventional vet is pushing for me to try this, saying it will eliminate the need for my giving my dog any supplements!

Herding vocab help needed

Luna passed her instinct test! It was a blast and I had so much fun playing "sheep" with her. She had a great time and enjoyed hanging with other dogs and people all day. I am planning to continue with lessons, and the highlight of the day was being told Luna was a "really cool dog"...
