Thanks for posting this, I just started a thread of my own with similar concerns. And reading this has answered a few of my own questions. My girl started coughing and sneezing yesterday, approximately one week from staying over night at my vets office. She also gets her boardatella (sp) shots...

Hi all, sorta new to the forum. I was a member a few years back and lost my other username so I signed up to read up on cruciate ligament tears. Sadie went to the vet one week ago, Doc suspected she may have torn her cruciate ligament in her knee so we left her there overnight so he can...

Hi everyone, I would call the store to make sure they are going to carry the boxer dog, just incase your store does not carry it. I checked with our build-a-bear store and they said they were not going to carry the dog but I can order it online and then go to the store and stuff it and shop...

Just to update, Sadie is completely switched over and doing great this time, can't wait to see the many results from the switch. Thank for all the tips and advise that I recieved everyone.......

Here is what I did, I noticed that recently Sadie was starting to bark (probably to get attention) so I thought I would teach her the speak command and the hush command so I would be in control of her barking a little more. Well she learned the two great and all but it backfired on me, she...

That sounds interesting I need to call and get some info. on it. We like to go there often, it's one of Sadie's favorite places to go. She is just about done with her puppy kindergarten class and then we are checking into clicker training for her.

Hi Kronk's mom, I haven't bought a bell just yet but I will soon. At first I was going to get bells (like christmas bells). You hang them on your doorknob and every time you take the dog out you just tap the bells and eventually the dog will start ringing the bell too. I think I am going to get...

Thanks sashamom, trust me, I will take it slow this time. You know I searched and searched the forums for some info. on how to go about the gradual switch and could not find anything (duh...I'm still trying to get used to this whole thing). I hope she will do allright on the Canadae it is my...

Small world I know right where you are, I used to go to the Munster Animal Hospital there on Calumet. I am a little further east in Portage I like the feed store in Chesterton (prices are oh so right) but my husband goes to the one in Valparaiso on his way home from work somethimes for convient...

Just to let you know Sadie is doing great, her tummy has settled down and her stools are back to normal so I think tomarrow I will start her back on the kibble (taking it slow of course) thanks again gmacleod for resonding so quickly to all of my question I truly appreciate it (and Sadie too).

appollosdad, I too am from Northwest Indiana and I have found that the feed stores and some garden nurseries in Indiana also sell the better dog kibble, so you don't have to go into Illinois just to buy it. I'm not sure how close you are to the line but I am about 30 minutes away.

I had a stool sample done on Sadie on the 10th of January so she could start puppy kindergarten and it came back negative, she also has had all she shots as well. I am wondering if she could have caught something since I have been taking her out and about more (puppy socializing and all). How...

After hearing so much good about Canadae I switched a week ago but I think I went about it all wrong. I started out half Canadae and half Nutro and I would gradually add alittle more Canadae every couple of day's until yesterday it was all Canadae. My mistake was Sadie had loose stools the...
