If you are going to feed raw, feed only raw. No mixing with kibble because of different digestion rates. Raw is acually much cheaper than kibble. I feed raw, feeding six dogs on about $100 month. I don't like Natural Balance because meat is not the first ingrediant. As far as veggies go, you can...

I think the shelter workers need to learn some more about dogs. Didn't they notice it was rather easy to handle for a coyote? I just can't see making that mistake. It should have at least been microchipped and maybe it wouldn't have happenend.

I don't clicker train. I don't see the use in it. However, I do crate train puppies for house training, and to keep all my furniture in tack at night and when I'm not home. Once house trained and out of the "puppy stage" the crate is no more.

Mine was great. I was induced at a week late, and labor pains were never like what I had heard described. I ended up with a c section because Kirby didn't want to come out into the cold! He was out and I never even knew the doctors had started! Wayne and I were just sitting there talking about...

Would the hounds catch a scent and be gone if running loose on a lot of land?

Sorry, I said four dogs, its five. Leave it to me to leave someone out!:lol-sign:

Raw is actually considerably cheaper than kibble. Start with chicken (which is how to introduce raw anyway). Chicken is about the cheapest you will find both boneless and bone in. It usually comes in large packs as well. I'm feeding four med. size dogs on about $100-$125 dollars a month. And...

Unless they are puppies, we just feed once a day. There is a snack or two during the day though most of the time.

Well, I personaly raw feed, but if I were to go back to kibble my first choice would be Orijen/Acana.

My husband is native american as well. Cherokee. The way I see it, he's more american than I am! LOL! Our son, you can't tell any native american with him. Where I live though native american isn't a big thing, but white girls with black men are. Would that be considerd a double standard? I'm...

(((((big hugs))))) We all need them sometimes.

Mine goes half way down my back. Thats the way I love it because I can do so much with it. Up, down whatever.

SmartPak caninehas a good one for different size crates. It's black and thick padding so it can't be pulled into the crate. It's called the Thunderhut because it deadens sound. It looks like it would make a crate a real peaceful place. I have the catalog, but it is probably on their website to...

Solid Gold sea meal is a good one, so is Nupro although I have never used that one.

That all makes total sense. But I have a feeling its one of those things that "easier said than done", ya know?
