Amount of food to feed?
Posted to: Training & Behavior
Hi all, I've got another dilemma. The breeder who I bought my puppy from said that I should feed her 1/4 cup of food every day, two times a day. I thought this was kind of sketchy at first because it sounded very small. I bought some dog food and it says for my puppy I should feed it 1 and 2/3 cup...

Non edible underwear question...
Posted to: News & Entertainment
My husband and I were gone for about 5 hours today at a cookout. Wrigley was going to get to go, but I thought they might have firecrackers (and sure enough they did) so he stayed at home so he wouldn't be scared. Anyway, my closet door was left open and Wrigley got into our clothes hamper and ate...

One of my co-workers explained this to me last week and I just didn't have a clue how dumb I really was. Her husband works at a major sporting goods place where it is not uncommon for many bybs to take their litters of various sporting dogs on the weekends to sucker people in. Oh, I mean find...

Posted to: Training & Behavior
Hi, I don't post much, but decided to come out of lurking to see if anyone has any tips to help a co-worker's dog. My co-worker adopted her pit-bull, Brodie, about a year ago. He's 3-4 years old, a neutered male. She never really left him alone or taught him to accept a crate during the...

A min pin and a ____?
Posted to: News & Entertainment
Hi there. I have a 2 year old min pin that is the center of attention. We have been considering another dog for a while. My husband would like to get a breed other than a min pin, one that isn't as hyper. He has talked about maybe a pug or an english bulldog? He had a pug growing up, but neither...

Protein?
Posted to: Nutrition & Exercise
What is the deal with protein? How much is enough, and how much is too much? Sally has had what we believe was a kidney infection last summer, and we put her on a lower protein food while she was recovering, and we ended up taking her off of it because she was doing poorly (the protein was 18.5%). Her...
