    Frontline?

    I just had this whole discussion with my vet about the types of preventive. She says not to use advantix, it has pesticides that can damage mammal cells, Frontline can only attack insect cells. Small dogs, cats and kids can all get reactions from the pesticide (something like pyretheom?) But...

He loves other dogs and children but they see...

    Urinary Incontinence getting worse on Proin, not better!

    We had our recently deceased gsd Brandy on Proin 50 mg 2 times a day for almost 2 years. She did very well on it. It is a chew-able. My understanding of this type of med is that it worked best for older stress type incontinence. If she missed a a dose no problem But if she missed a couple she...

    Opinions: prong collar/clicker training

    I think it depends on the dog ! I have always had German shepherd's and the only one I ever needed a prong collar was the one I spoke of. He has since passed away(long sad story) and we do not need it for are other large(116lbs) shepherd. Muffasa was protection trained before we got him, If he...
