    Bloat!

    We have always taken steps to lower the risk of bloat in our boxer. Last night bloat hit our Bassett hound! About 10 minutes after we noticed the two dogs went outside we heard the Bassett yelping. Went outside and found him in very bad shape and knew exactly (thanks to this site) what was wrong...

    Raising Food / Water Dishes

    I found this interesting too. We just switched from Timberwolf Organics to Back to Basics. Here is a quote from Back to Basics feeding directions: "Please serve BACK TO BASICS® moistened with water, this activates the digestive enzymes for maximum digestibility and we feel it is healthier...

    Raising Food / Water Dishes

    The study only refers to feeding. I guess it's safe to say this should apply to drinking water too?
