Thanks for the input everyone. Lizzybeth & Saintgirl- From reading your posts, I can visualize what postures and behaviors you mean, but I think it's still different from what Mimi is portraying. She goes into a crouch, but it's more like she's stalking something than just the 'hi let's play'...

She's usually silent, no barking when she's running up to them. She does have her tail up and stiff though, so she's definitely trying to intimidate. What confuses me here is that she's been on her belly to the ground (so is she's showing somewhat docile manners) then when the dog comes up...

She's too clever! :p One of our trainers said that it's always the smart ones that have reactiveness issues. The really easy going ones are so nice to everyone (and dog). Which portrays the difference between Nana (my golden) and Mimi perfectly. I know that most (if not all) of her problems...

Hello everyone, I need some advice on what I should be doing to help Mimi deal with these situations... We've worked with several trainers regarding her reactiveness towards other dogs, especially labs. (We follow Suzanne Clothier's methods quite closely, if that means anything:)) She's...

Some of you may remember the news in 2005 about the Blainville puppy mill in Quebec, Canada. I was a dog walker for one of these amazing little fox terriers, and watched her start from being timid, afraid and unsure, to learning that she is loved and that life is FUN! She's now a ball-chasing...

Nana's broken one of her upper canines!! It doesn't seem to bother her at all...maybe a little sensitive. I had heard that if you could see the inner walls, it would have to be pulled, but it looks like she's just chipped the end. (it's just not pointy anymore). Does this call for an emergency...

Nana's had bad limping problems and trouble with stairs. She's 12yo, and about 75lbs. She gets 1000mg of Glucosamine, 1000mg MSM, and 600mg of Green Lipped Mussel a day.

Does anyone know if giving 'health-food store' glucosamine for people is fine for dogs?

I noticed on our shipment this week that the Greenies came in a new package that said 'New! Easier to Digest!'. So I flipped it over and took a look at the ingredients to see what they'd changed. Here's the new ingredient list: Gelatin, Wheat Protein Isolate, Glycerin, Soy Protein Isolate...

Need a break

I need to put in my two cents. My golden had huge lipomas (those fatty growths) and an ear infection that I figured was around for good, I started adding Hokamix to her diet, and they've gotten to around 50% of the original size in a week and her ears are so clean it's as if the infection was...

jojo, I've been feeding my cocker Natures Logic for the past month (since beginning that post with Mordy), and she's been doing fantastic. You should see her coat! We've also gotten some awesome feedback from our clients that have put their pets on it as well. :)

Just to add another line that has some great fish based kibble is Fromm. There's a Whitefish formula and a Salmon one that are really nice. :)

So I work as a wellness consultant at a pet store in town that sells everything from food, to homeopathic remedies, supplements, the works. I always find that it's the PEOPLE I have to deal with that are SUCH a pain in the butt. Take one gentleman today. Walks in looking for a collar, picks out...

I SWEAR by Hokamix. I can't believe the difference it's made in some of the dogs I've had to take care of over the years. I had one Golden where the vet swore she wouldn't live past 10, she had so many problems...she lived till she was 14. She was on great food too, but I know it was the...

Nature's Variety is not a bad quality food. I'd definitely do that waaay before I'd reach for Iams.

Oh dear. Looks like our owner is saying no. These guys are the same guys who make Acana, and apparently some major baaad thing happened with them years ago and their ingredient sources aren't good....so sad! I'm an Albertan and I wish we had a good canadian food! ....must get more details from...

This has been in other threads, but a good single source protein and grain formula line has been Natural Balance. They have Venison, duck, fish, etc that you might try.

hands down solid gold.

The reason I feed Mimi the regular Innova is because she didn't do as well on the EVO. My guess is simply that she didn't take to the high levels of protein...plus a really high level of fat. :D
