Re: Food recall: Iams/Eukanuba

Proctor and Gambles at their best. :x People wonder why I got upset and refused to by Natura products since the sale of the company to P&G... Because P&G have to many recalls.

Re: Terrifying ordeal:( Updated, she is home:))))))

Coming in on this late. Late enough to find that Ellie is getting better. That was wonderful news. I'd like to add healing prayers for Ellie and send you a couple of hugs.

Re: Resource Guarding Help Please

I do not feel a dog protecting his food or toy from another animal is resource guarding. Usually an older dog will teach a younger dog to back off from "my stuff" with little problem This is a case of know your dog, yes you can leave some adult dogs to teach a pup but not all, I know dogs...

Re: Advice on settling in a foster dog

Nettle had very good advice on the introduction so I won't add to that. I will comment on what I do with fosters once the introductions are done. I start by letting the foster settle into the household routine and I ask very little for a couple of days. Usually working on them knowing their new name...

Re: Pet store trainings...?

Some are good, some NOT so go. It depends on the trainer. When I took Schatz 8 years ago **, there was a very good trainer and I learned a lot of theroy from her. Forward a few years my company opened our store right next door to the one we went to. That trainer was moved to another Petsmart and the...

Re: Drastic Changes to Innova to come?

My pet food supplier brought in the Acana at my request. The company has a very good reputation. Although she brought in the grain free versions. I will be stopping in the next few days to ask her to get the Regular ones also, including the Puppy one. My crew switched from Innova/Calif Natural/Evo t...

Re: is this considered overboard???

If you were brought up in this family, it would be Rottweilers. I've got the same as your aunt in rott-a-belia. Two china cabinets, a curio filled and miscellaneous items spread around the house. Plus four real ones. :lol: In my defense, most of the statues were gifts from family and friends.

Re: Drastic Changes to Innova to come?

P&G will ruin the product in time. I don't trust them. When I heard back in May that the company was being sold, I finished the bag I had and went Acana. I won't by anything that is a Natura product again. Makes me very sad and a bit angry.

Re: NATURA --SOLD Innova, Evo, California Natural maker

My 9 1/2 year old was raised on Innova... I was heartbroken when I found out the company was sold. It wouldn't bother me so much if they had sold out to a reputable bigger company, but P&G is not. They have proved that over and over. When those masive recalls happened a couple of years ago, I wa...

Re: Need name ideas

In my avatar, the two end ones were adopted from a kill shelter. They escaped with about 15 minutes to spare. Feeling guilty for buying one, I got involved in rescue... that was 8 1/2 years ago. I do rotties, but I've fostered a pom. No fosters right now. It makes my heart happy to hear you say you ...

Re: NATURA --SOLD Innova, Evo, California Natural maker

Orijen is a fantastic product! I have decided to go with Acana which is made by the same company as Orijen. :D I mainly posted the info for those that didn't know the company was sold to P&G. I do not trust that P&G will keep the same quality and standards that are in the product now. I've s...
