I used to feed a homecooked diet because I had a dog who had to many food allergies so I was able to control them by making his food myself. It was a pain and I was always afraid they were not getting the proper balance of nutrients. When he died I went to a premium dog food and have not looked back...

First you are dealing with a dog that is at least half, bred to work, so make sure she is getting alot of exercise, both physically and mentally. A walk in the neighborhood, doesnt cut it for my Mini Aussie, he needs to run daily as well as short training sessions. He is also a toy addict, the noise...

He looks terrier mix. he is darling! He reminds me of my Callie. The rescue I got her from as a puppy said she was terrier/pom mix, but I dont see Pom in her at all. (Yes she is holding an avocado, all my dogs LOVE the avocados that fall on the ground in the groves!) http://i8.photobucket.com/albums...

my dogs throw up horse hoof trimmings, because they chew them up and swallow them and they are very hard to digest, so I do not allow them to get the horse hoof trimmings. I do get them cow hoofs to chew on, they knaw on them and when they get to small I throw them away, they enjoy them and they are...

Re: Treats
My dog needs serious distraction when I am I trying to socialize him. I found the thing that works best is small boiled pieces of chicken and/or tiny chunks of cheese. Cheese can give them diarrhea though, so not too much. You need to go to Cleanrun.com and get the Control Unleashed book by Leslie ...

I tried all the holistic approaches to flea control and none of it did squat and it did nothing for ticks. FrontlinePlus works great here, I have to use it monthly during the summer and in the winter maybe once in December then they are good until Spring when ticks start showing up. I have never had...
