Wow... my 85lb very active dog only eats 1 1/2 cups of food a day (with 1/2 can mixed in). Cant imagine feeding 3.

My two 40-50lb dogs eat 1 cup.

I generally like my dogs to bark when someone is there, but when I tell them "enough" I expect them to stop.

Satin balls are great for putting on weight.

Emmabeth... you took the words out of my mouth. Thank you.

Get a good shampoo and get the Furminator Solution (its like a conditioner) and a good rake or furminator brush. It drastically reduces the shedding. Or take him to a groomer for the furminator and/or shedless treatment. We have a black lab that comes in every 6 weeks for a furminator treatment in m...

I gave you two links for online shopping. Or ask your local pet stores........

Tricky treat balls are good. And plain old kongs.

Ok but thats beside the point... you dont need to kill them to get the antler.

Deers naturally shed their antlers and thus dont need to be killed to get the antler for a chew...

But no its not illegal to hunt deer... at least not around here. They can only be hunted during certain seasons though. Some places also farm them.

Freezing it will do the same, except wont pose a risk of splintering.

yes and yes.. always give bones raw never cooked

Theyre usually not very expensive at all and I live in NY. You should be able to find any butcher that will cut some up for you for your dog.

Feeding them frozen will make them last longer too.

Raw marrow bones are the best... just dont feed everyday as they are fattening.

Science diet is incredibly expensive....
$57 (approx.) for a 30lb bag...

For $39 you can get a 35lb bag of Chicken Soup brand dog food... which is 100% better than science diet.
