I have not had any personal experience with pet insurance, but the AKC website has AKC insurance which looked pretty good. They do not cover dogs over 7 years old, I believe, but cover meds, regular exams, spay/neuter, etc. www.akc.org

Well, the blood tests came back negative as of today. Riggs has been tested for tapeworms, ringworms, coccidia, giardia and almost every other parasite or organism and it has come back negative. At this point, we are consulting the breeder and will be researching specialists. Does anyone...

No the medication is not working. It is intermittent between semi-firm and a total mess. There is also no mucus in his stool. Riggs is also not gaining weight, and has actually lost about 4-5 pounds in the last month. He is eating like a horse, 4 cups of rice/chicken 4 times/day. I know...

We have a 17 mo old male boxer, Riggs who has had diarreah pretty consistently for about 4 weeks now. Our vet has tested him for every parasite or bacteria imaginable (including giardia and coccidia) and they have come back negative. He has been on prednosone and sulfisalinate and another...

You may want to try feeding him a mixture of 1/3 boiled white potato, 1/3 boiled sweet potato (both with the skins) and 1/3 cooked brown rice. It works wonders. You can also give him some Pepto Bismol (1 tsp 3x/day). But if it lasts longer than a couple of days, the vet is the next step...

Janet and I, Riggs and Belle are up for either one. Riggs loves the water, so it would be a special treat for him. Just let us know which one everyone is up for and we'll be there!

I know how you feel. My wife and I are picking up our 2nd on Saturday, at she can't stop talking about it

We'll also check into teh weekend of the 21st (of June, right?). We'll have a new addition to the boxer crew. We just went last night and picked out our 2nd. An 8 week old white female. Hopefully she'll give Riggs a run for his money. ALso, does anyone have directions to the place we're...

Instead of the N. Wales Park, what do you think about some place like Evansburg State Park or French Creek State Park? We could get there early enough to avoid most of the crowds and have a BBQ at one of the picnic areas. We're a little bit more limited on what we can do off leash, but there...

Saturday was fun. If the weather cooperates, see you on Sunday at 10:00. Mike

We have a 7 month old brindle, Riggs and we live in Limerick, PA. Everyone is getting together at 12:00 at the dog park?

We feed our 5 month old a mixture of Bil-Jac Puppy Food and Natural Balance. He likes it, but his appetite is inconsistent most of the time. We feed him 3 times a day, averaging 1 cup per feeding. Mike
