I was reading that using ACV is good for cleaning ears but that you might want to dilute it with peroxide instead of water to avoid an ear infection.
Anyone with experience in this?
For the last several days Ivan has pooped in the house. He was always really good at letting me know when he needs to go outside.
I am starting to be convinced that he's doing it out of frustration. I give him as much attention as possible considering his issues and all but I can't give him...
I was thinking of contacting celebrities for an autograph made out to the rescue to make into a calendar to raise some funds for the rescue.
Should I hand-write or type the letter or send an e-mail?
Brad Pattison. I don't have cable so I haven't seen any of his shows.
I was reading his website and came across this:
What could that mean, he uses excessive force? Those that have seen his show, maybe you could elaborate what you see him do.
I'm looking for a trainer to help me work...
Dallas is going on for his thyroid blood test tomorrow at 10am. I usually give him his meds at 9am, about 2.5 to 3 hours after breakfast, and again at 9pm some as breakfast.
How many hours before should I be giving Dallas his medication before the blood test? Would it be the same as usual...
At times during our leash walks, Ivan gets a burst of energy and starts nipping at my heels. He doesn't do it hard, but it's an unacceptable behaviour and i'm afraid if his excitement keeps escalating he might hurt me. Especially since we're still getting to know each other and build trust...
I took Ivan to the vet today. I'm a little worried since the last time he went to the vet (Dec. 6, 2012) he was 96lbs. Today he weighs 95.8lbs. No weight gain at all in so much time. It worries me since he's so young and should be growing like a weed, plus seeing how big he is (head size...
I would really like to enroll Ivan in an obedience class. He's a lot of dog and it will give him a better chance at being adopted safely and help build confidence in him. I was looking at some local trainers and the cost is on average of $500.
I was thinking of having some sort of fundraiser...
Wow, poor boy has been cooped up for so many months at the shelter.....he's got SOOOOO much energy to burn. This is going to be interesting, lol.
Sad thing though is his back feet are flat. I had a foster dog in the past that had the same thing from being stuck in a crate 24-7.
There's this dog that we're trying to find a (foster) home for, they have had her since a puppy and say she's a Neapolitan Mastiff. She doesn't strike me as a pure but maybe a mix? I could be completely wrong though.
I'm looking for a food for Dallas in the medium price range. He can't have chicken, beef or grains.
He's currently on the same food he was on when he first got here, he used to do well on it and I believe the beef in it is causing him some issues now.
He was on raw, but he lost too much...
I feel kind of dumb asking this but are oatmeal, whole barley, whole brown rice, rice bran and flaxseed considered grains?
Also, I suppose a dog that is allergic to chicken would be allergic to chicken fat?
Those of you that work full-time and have to do dog rotations, how do you do it?
I'm hoping to go back to school in May and there might be a possibility of having to rotate dogs. I'm just wondering what your rotating schedules are like while working full-time or going to school full-time...
I've encountered this on many occasions with past and present fosters.
Jersey has been eating pedigree her whole life, mind you she's only 2 (almost) but her coat is beautiful and with a beautiful shine, her teeth look great and doesn't stink considering she's on kibble. I also had a foster...
