Bo's encounter with a cat
Posted to: News & Entertainment
A couple of days ago while we were out in the yard there was a neighbor cat prowling around. Bo isn't really prey driven but he was curious and he went up and tried to sniff it. The cat batted at him and Bo backed up so I thought there was no more problems there. Yesterday, Bo's face started...

Homecooking question- has anyone used amaranth?

Skin Problem on almost 2yo dobie
Posted to: Health & Grooming
Deoji started showing signs of a skin issue about a month ago. Then it was about 1/2 as bad as it is now (in the pics below). Investigating his environment, I thought it could be his crate bed which hubby had washed with a fair bit of bleach this last time. Upon removing it, he started to improve. That...

How did you discourage your puppy not to nip while playing? I've been working with Harley on it for the month that I've had her and she is getting better. But just now my BF was out in the yard playing with her and he had her toy in his hand and she nipped him on the leg. He got mad and told...

Homecooking-Organ Meat Question
Posted to: Nutrition & Exercise
I notice these homecooked sites say organ meat should be about 5% or so of the diet. But, for example, my NB fish does not include any type of organ meat. And, I know there are other kibble that also don't include it. So, is it necessary in homecooked?

Yes! Taught "paw"
Posted to: Training & Behavior
I taught Bailey "paw" tonight in about 10 minutes! I am so proud of her! I was C/T for any time she hit my hand with her paw.. The only problem is she tries to grab onto my arm with her mouth while she is pawing at me... It is an excited thing, not aggressive... Any suggestions?

Posted to: Nutrition & Exercise
I am going to buy Calcium Citrate, but I was wondering why cottage cheese, yogurt, Salmon etc. is not enough calcium. Trudy is so small, I have heard some people say enough calcium is in the right foods, and some say it has to be measureed perfectly.
