Each dog is an individual, if your dog has volumous stools, consistant gas that smells bad, there may be something in the Orijen food that she is allergic to. Just because a food is all natural, organic and highly recommended does not protect each and every dog from having an allergy to it :D High p...

Just to give you an example of what Jacks Dad is saying, it is illegal in most of the 50 states to sell dogs under 8 weeks old, open your Sunday paper almost every weekend you will see adds for puppies "6 weeks old and ready to go". I don't think you really want me to answer what the punis...

There really isn't an "age". This is one of the things vets check when your dog has her/his annual exam, we check for broken teeth, retained teeth, tartar build up, gum injuries etc. If you would like to start brushing her teeth I would highly recommend it. I brush my boys' teeth once a da...

I recently had the obligation of filing complaints with several agencies due to over 30 dogs in a small confined area, all malnourished, NONE spayed or neutered, mange, open infected draining wounds etc. In an effort to understand these people (I still don't) I did some research that I found interes...

I was especially thrilled with this recall as that is where I get the virginia ham I use to keep sams focus on me. I have some ham to throw away when I get home. These rapid fire recalls give me a headache

I think there is a "how to" thread on feeding raw on this very site. try the search bar, the folks that feed raw on here, know what they are doing, and have been feeding raw for a long time now, I would absolutely trust the information they give to be much more accurate than some of the (*...

It is not clear to me what exactly is going on here, is he vomiting only when he eats? Is he vomiting mucos? Is he vomiting any sort of pink or reddish tinged matter? Can you provide a little more detail please? Also don't work the stomach harder with a protein until you can stop the vomitting.
