Oh yeah, the heathiest dog on my county road is a rabbit killer. That dog has the whole rabbit population down to almost nothing and is so healthy. My own dogs will find some nasty fish that has been dead for a few days and eat it, no problem, I would rather they didn't but can't stop them when they...

In addition, you need to be careful about the amount of protien in a dog food. Puppies need more while growning, mature dogs don't. It's hard to say what is the best. Some will say raw is better than bag food, some only feed bag food. I stay away from canned food. It sticks to the teeth and can give...

This is a working dog, working dogs don't eat if they are going to be running all day doing their job. If the dog is healthy and in good weight, let it be. It's us human's that think we need to eat a few times a day, the dog knows when to eat. Even if this dog does not run around herding things it s...

I never met a Beagle that did not like it's grub. My sister had one that would take the canned food out of the bowl and try to bury it in her sofa. Gross! A cup of food is a lot to my way of thinking. Puppies need more food while growing but an adult dog does not unless it is a working dog. As for w...

I am not an advocate of feeding a dog people food, no processed people food. You don't know what is really in there. I feed a high quality dry food and supplement with raw veggies. For digestion I give them some plain yogurt or plain cottage cheese a couple times a week. Taste for a dog is not the i...

Flea PS

I think you can also get it in liquid form to spray the back yard areas, you should do it in the front as well since fleas will jump on you and come back in the house. And don't empty the vac bag, let it sit in there because your going to want to vacumn often. It's a big job to de-flea a house becau...

there is a product that I have used for years, both in and out of the house and on the dogs. Some of you are not going to like this but this product is in my opinion safe. I use to have a pesticide application license and had to go through extensive training and testing first. The product is called ...

I did a little online research and while this looks real I don't think it is. Charities need to register somewhere and I could not find them. My opinion is that if you want to do something, do it locally. At your local animal shelter. I use to collect broken bags of dog food from Costco and take it ...

My friend uses a shed ender for her golden works well but for Schnauzers and dogs like them you can't beat a Coat King, it's spendy but works so well and does not hurt their skin. I also like to use a brush that has the little round things on the bristles. I can get down to the undercoat and not bur...

Puppy play is very important. Puppys need play to teach them how to be dogs. Now the cat is going to take care of the issue for you. Once my cat gave each of my dogs a good swipe across the nose they got the message' "Don't bug the cat!" This cat is only about 8 pounds and the dogs are 42,...

I is nice to see the picture, best friends. I found that with another dog in the house they don't follow you around, they have company now. I don't have a truck and at first I used a car safety harness on them. I have a large van, theirs, not mine. I installed barriers all over the thing and over th...

It always amazes me that dogs just know stuff and what to do about it. I just remembered that a couple days ago they were intersted in my right ear. Really smelling at it, not just the normal thing they do to me when I wake up, but really interested, today I have an ear infection. They will go over ...

It is a bit concerning, if he goes after his own foot and does not realize it is his foot, what will happen if a hand shows up.

I bet he had something going on and they were all "investigating" Kai will go over Maia from butt to nose, anything that he thinks needs attention he licks at. Most of the time he checks out her ears and gives them a good cleaning which she seems to enjoy. She did have a cut on one ear tha...
