Kovi has brown on her gums. They have always been that way. Her teeth are very clean, I brush them regularly. Is it normal for dogs to have different colors on their gums or should they be all pink?

I saw this on TV and was wondering if anyone had tried it or knows anything about it. It's called the Peticure and looks like a dremmel nail trimmer . . . The website is http://www.peticure.com Any thoughts?

I've been reading the posts about feeding raw or frozen raw. With the dog food recalls, it's getting scary to feed kibble. I've been feeding Nature's Variety Chicken & Brown Rice since around the time of the initial recall. Yesterday I started thinking about what the benefits and drawbacks...

Has anyone used either of these services? We had both in to get estimates and are now trying to decide which product is better . . . any input would be appreciated.

I posted about Kovi expressing small amounts of fluid from her anal glands a few days ago. I've come to the conclusion after that post and reading up a bit that her glands are leaking. They have been recently expressed (about a month ago) do they need to be done again? I know this sounds...

Lately I've noticed a fishy odor sometimes when Kovi is sitting on my lap. She just recently had her anal glands expressed, so I didn't think that was the problem . . . but in the last couple of days, she's been sitting on my lap and I've smelled the smell then I find a wet spot on my pants . ...

I know you should not give a bath 2 days AFTER applying Advantix or Frontline, but it is also true that you should wait 2 days after a bath to apply it? I know this is dumb, but I forget and couldn't find anything on the packaging!

Sorry if I'm getting annoying with these dog food posts, but I found a new food called Nature's Variety that I think is fairly new on the market. After reading what everyone has said, I think this might be what I end up switching to, but I thought others might be interested in the website...

I went to the pet supply store today to see about getting a new food for Kovi. The girl recommended Verus and gave me a sample. I've never heard of it before, but it seems to be in line with the other high quality brands. The store also sells products like California Natural and Canidae (sp?)...

My dog was eating Natural Choice, which is made by Nutro, which is a company involved in the food recall. I think it would give me a lot of piece of mind to switch her food, even though she eats dry food, which I know was not affected, just because of the whole prinicpal that if the...

I know most people on here don't really know me. I only post occasionally, but since this is a group of people from a wide range of experiences, cultures, ages, etc etc I want to post something and get everyone's opinion. As some may know, I am lawyer. I'm 26 years old and apparently at...

After almost a year of no accidents in the house, Kovi pooped in the house today. She's over a year now, and was literally just outside. Her normal schedule is to wake up at 6:10, go out, pee, eat and then she comes back upstairs with us while we're showering, getting ready, etc. Then...

Sometimes I think Kovi is lonely. She's really attached to us, but I think she might like to have another dog around. And of course, I see this guy on Petfinder . . . http://search.petfinder.com/petnote/displaypet.cgi?petid=7735344 Anyone have any advice on looking for signs if Kovi...

Ok, so today I put this cute little cable knit doggie sweater on Kovi because it was cold. It had two wooden buttons. Sometime during the day she must have gotten bored and she chewed them. I'm not sure if she ate them or just chewed them up. I've read that you should give dogs bread if...

I'm just curious if any particular heartworm preventative is better than the others? Kovi needs more and the vet gave Interceptor last time, but I wasn't sure if I should ask for something different this time . . . Any input would be appreciated!

I don't know how or when this started, but Kovi has developed a fear of remote controls. It's not just that she doesn't like them, she literally freaks out, runs away and hides when she sees one. This has become particularly problematic at bedtime as she doesn't want to be in her bed if we...

I was reading an article about getting in shape with your pooch. I though the article was outstanding until it recommended giving dogs air popped popcorn as a snack. I had to read it twice to make sure it didn't mean that to be a snack for people. Anyway . . . I'm wondering if popcorn is a...

Below is an article in my local newspaper today . . . I am 100% sure this is where I adopted my doggie from in March. I'm absolutely horrified and wondering if there is anything I should do (i.e. a vet visit) to make sure Kovi is totally healthy. She hasn't had any major health problems since...

I'm not sure if my pup is sick or not. This morning she was just more sleepy than normal. When I took her outside she acted totally normal, not lethargic at all, but when we came back in, she went right into her bed and went back to sleep. Normally she would play around with me during that...

I haven't posted on here in a looong time, but I thought this new toy/treat I found is worth the post. As I was browsing the aisles in PetSmart I came across the Everlasting Treat Ball. It's a barrel shaped rubber toy that you can insert disc shaped treats in . . . and the treats literally...
