vension, duck, rabbit
Posted to: Nutrition & Exercise
I homecook for my dog. I am going to buy vension and then duck and rabbit. How would I cook these for my dog. Do I boil vension? It's not ground vension. It's boneless vension diced up. How would I cook duck breast and rabbit meat which are also diced up? Do I just boil everything?

Is eating grass okay?
Posted to: Nutrition & Exercise
I know there will be a few opinions on the topic. Boomer occasionally eats grass. He has never thrown up from it. Is it okay for him to eat it? He doesn't eat huge quantities of it just a few grass blades here and there.

Posted to: Health & Grooming
My female border collie mix, about 6 years old, was walking very shaky this morning, but she did not fall down. She is usually very coordinated and sure of her steps. I let her outside, and she still was shaky for a few minutes. She shivered a little, like possibly she was scared, but I could have mistaken...
