dog friendly... attractive dog run?!
Comments (7)Oh yes..that attractive chain link fence...what an eyesore! We've had it about 5 years now & I know even with beautiful landscaping that will remain a problem..we never thought of it when we got it..we were just thinking of the dogs (of course after we had it put in I saw it a vinyl coated green which blends into the greenery..not as abrasive as the silver one we have)...Since our PA soil is so rocky & hard to dig into I was thinking of a few large clay pots strategically placed around the inside edge of the fence & planting a variety of annuals & since the fence is 6 feet high I thought maybe a few window boxes here & there between the clay pots...I'll just have to improvise & distract the eye away from the fence! I checked out the local nursery yesterday & saw the pea gravel..I also checked out their stepping stones & other slabs that have a great look but they coat about $8.00-$10.00 a piece! I'll continue to look around...maybe molds would be better.. Well thanks for all your input...I just have to get up a plan & wait for the weather to warm up..Have a nice day!...See MoreRecommendations for brands of dog food for dogs with skin allergy
Comments (16)My dog has food allergies. I tried lots of the premium foods, Innova, CA Natural, etc. Nothing helped. For the past year he has been eating Timberwolf. You can find it at www.timberwolforganics.com. It is not cheap but he hasn't had any problems on it and now at age 11 is a furry bear. No vet bills for skin issues. You can order directly from the manufacturer and shipping is free. That would eliminate your problem of limited local resources. It would be worth a try. One thing though, he doesn't eat anything other than this brand. You'd have to cut out any snacking on other things. Here is a link that might be useful: Timberwolf Organics Pet Food...See MoreLoose Dog Attacked My Dog- Help With Advice
Comments (52)Remy continues to improve and is about 90% "himself". He went for a walk this morning, and I'd even say he was jaunty ;-) Another good sign is that he's barking at all things that pass by the front of our house. He's still on Rimadyl for a couple more days, and of course is finishing out his antibiotics. The wounds are healing nicely, with the largest one still weeping a bit, but that one was really gaping. Remy's getting lots of love and attention (and home cooked meals), and is able to sleep on the bed with us again. I think that has been really helpful for him to do his normal nocturnal snuggling. Thanks for all the well wishes! Stitches removed in a few days....See Moredogs on homemade dog food soft poop
Comments (3)I recently went thru this with my senior dog who has cushings and liver disease. He would have bouts of diarrhea every 3 days and was losing weight. I tried homemade, and even prescription diets. Nothing worked. In hindsight, I now know my homemade diet was missing crucial minerals and nutrients but that didn't explain why even prescription diets gave my dog horrible diarrhea. I decided to change the protein in my dog's diet after reading articles about how pets can become sensitive to certain proteins, especially chicken & beef. I switched my dog to a canned diet of duck and/or lamb and I avoided brands that are full of legumes since these give my dog gas. Since switching to the new proteins he hasn't had one episode of diarrhea. I have to disagree with Vernan on training your dog to eat dry food. My dog doesn't handle dry food well because of the high carbs and fat (pancreatitis) in most dry foods. There are some quality dry foods available, but an owner needs to do their research on which brand is best for their dog.....and make sure he likes it. :)...See Moreyeonassky
