Re: Parvovirus/Vaccination

Good idea about the membership-based dog run, OHenry; I never knew they existed! I will definitely use the "leave it" command. Does the virus linger in the residue left on the cement once the poop has been scooped? Will giving the pup a good wipe down once we get home be a safe solution as...

Re: Parvovirus/Vaccination

I fostered a puppy who was recovering from Parvovirus a couple years ago. So I did quite a bit of research and talked at length with my vets at the time. Parvo is mostly found in puppies who have not developed immunities (mainly through vaccination) and, less often, in older dogs with weakened immu...

Re: Winter is coming soon

I'm in an apartment so there's no preppring around the house. We just turn the radiator on and put on lots of warm clothes. We can do our regular long walks when there's no snow on the ground.

Re: Raw Food Diet

Thank you, to everyone, for all of your help! I will definitely do the fruit/veggie-cycles as well as starting off with the chicken wings. Should I incorporate the meat with each meal (3x day) in the beginning, like half a wing along with an veggie "cube" each meal? Or a wing twice a day a...

Re: Raw Food Diet

Okay! So I am back again with a few more questions --- hehehe. Sorry if these questions have already been answered! I have read different methods on how to make the "switch" from the processed foods, the puppy was used to, to the BARF diet. I've read one instance where a proper 24 hr fast ...

Re: Raw Food Diet

Hello, Everyone! Firstly, I just want to say that this posting was UBER-informative and I am now truly a believer! We should be getting our first family pup here in a couple months -- Christmas present for the kids -- and I am nearly sold on the RAW food diet. There is one concern that I haven't see...
