Comments (2)i have always tipped my daycare provider. they do such a great job of caring for my dogs, i want them to know how much they are appreciated, especially on the 2 occasions i left them overnight. i have great danes and bloat is always in the back of my mind. because of this, the owner spent the night with them both times....See MoreDoggy Daycare
Comments (4)My Eskimo goes every Thurs. to his groomer's just for socialization (the grooming is about every 3 months and NEVER! on a Thursday - this dog would remember). I do not send his toys or cushion as he knows that they are "his" and no point starting something such as resource guarding. So we are basically looking at a groomer who also offers day care - well, my guy does tend to avoid the side where she does the grooming - he is not stupid - and hangs out where the "done" dogs are kept. He has never come home smelling anything but like himself - and I would know because as a general rule, Eskies do not smell, unless wet or they have rolled in something. As someone who had hounds for over 30 years and desperately miss the scent of eau de hound I do know the difference. Many of the groomer's clients leave their dogs for daycare a day or 2 a week - all breeds - and all of them have to hug me when I arrive - and I have never smelled anything other than dog. So perhaps there is something your dogs - and other dogs are getting into and then transferring to their toys/bedding? As you can imagine, a groomer's salon is loaded with cut hair etc. which is why I think there might be something that is being used at the daycare maybe to "freshen" with the opposite effect?? I can't handle any form of air freshener etc. - allergic - so would really pick up on something like that. Or some of the dogs think the place is a giant litterbox (i.e. some PetSmarts). Our groomer is located in same building as our vet - same entrance, different business - and no one has had this problem. I would suggest the bortadella shot no matter where your dogs go to daycare in the future - actually it is usually a requirement - but of course it will only protect against the strain of KC common to the area. But if your dogs do catch KC if they have been vaccinated the symptoms will generally clear faster. Hope you find out what the source of the odor is because it has to be something that is in the place - and I am really leaning towards some sort of freshening/cleaning product....See MoreDoggy Diarrhea Question
Comments (3)Chicken and rice is a great way to help settle tummies. I suggest feeding a cup and a half of chicken and rice in the Am and the same in the pm, later you will want to up the amount you feed your dog - but for now until you pick a food, that should be good. Pumpkin is great stuff, not too much tho. I feed my dog 2 cups of mixed food twice a day, he is a free feeder and supplements his regular food when he gets really hungry like after we have been out doing alot of running around, he likes cookies (biscuits - dog bones) and likes natural balance meat sticks, which we cut up once a week and toss in an area the dogs frequent when they are extra hungry - they often let the meat stick dry out to the consistency of jerky before eating it...go figure. They are all healthy and happy. You can give the dog all of the chicken except cooked bones, they should eat more than just white meat...Good luck with your new pup...See Moresprtphntc7a
