Needless to say I'll ask my Vet too - but figured I'd post the question here too. Who would have thought - Voodoo loves tomatoes?! The other day I was eating one like an apple - and she came over and licked my hands clean, and gobbled up a little bitty piece. Then tonight we were walking by the local school...

Doc would like me to try Frazier on a high fiber diet. He has recommended Hill's WD kibble. I don't care for the ingredients, 3rd being chicken by product, 1st whole grain. Anyone know of a higher quality high fiber kibble that's comparable? I am even considering trying Medamucil but not sure how...

So my boy had a very sensitive belly. He has been on a kibble for about 12 weeks now (elimination diet for allergies). Anyhow, his stools have remained frequent and on the soft side since forever. Here is my question: We ran out and I went to buy a fresh bag. I always check the expiration date, and it w...

Hi Everyone, It's been a while since I have been on. I'm calling out for some easy/nutritious/and tasty (of course) home cooked meals. My Frazier is pretty anti-kibble, and spoiled :) and I need some more variety. Any ideas???

There is alot of fear right now, over our processed dog food. Recalls of over 130 varieties and the number is climbing. At first there was finger pointing by those that feed a more expensive diet. But those fingers quickly dropped when some very well respected foods were included. I pride myself on giv...

Hey all!!! I have a simple question that hopefully can be answered, lol. This is all new to me so i'm sure there will be more simple questions along the growing way. At what age would i start to adjust the feeding amounts to gradually be down to 1 feeding a day?

I have a 7 month old male pup and he doesn't eat much. Most days he'll barely finish one bowl of food? Does he not like the food? Are there any tricks to get him to finish his food.

Our little 8 week old puppy doesnt chew when he eats. He pretty much just swallows his food whole in about 3 seconds after we give it to him. The size of the food is about half the size of skittles. Any tips to get this guy to start swallowing before he chokes?

What should we do about food when she comes from breeder to us. I really want to get her started on Canidae. Do i buy a small amount of the food she is eating now and mix it in over time or is it ok to try just the Canidae aslong as she likes it?? -- Edited by brroland at 17:42, 2007-09-20

Hopefully you have heard already, but multiple brands of wet dog and cat foods have been recalled. They include such "good" brands as Eukanuba and Nutro, as well as many others. Again this is strictly wet food, and only the chopped in gravy varieties. There have been many cases of kidney...

Hi everyone! This may seem like a bit of a weird topic, but I'm interested to hear what brands owners in the UK & Ireland are feeding their dogs. My 11 month old bitch is currently on Hill's Science Plan, which she seems to really like and which I thought she was doing very well on. However,...
