We were feeding our girl solely raw when she had her first bout of pancreatitis, I tried lots of things with her and found that the best kibble for her is Cal Natural Herring and Sweet Potato (was told by a friend that swt potato was good for pancreatitis) she stays very stable on that one and...

Yes. To do a true elimination that is all you should be giving him. The other things you add may very well be a contributing to the problem and you wont know unless you remove them and add them back slowly and one by one. And as gmac stated it should be for about 3 months on the novel protein...

Some Holistic vets recommend you take them off everything for a short period and feed them a "novel" protein which is generally game meat (something that is not commonly fed or found in most commerical foods) and then after awhile slowly introduce a different protein one at a time to try and...

I feed the types of things you mentioned outside but I live in a country that is alot warmer. I know alot use an old towel or mat to feed on, they place their meal on it and for the first few times watch them and return the food to the mat if they try to take it off, they seem to catch on...

I have thawed and then refrozen before - it is quite okay to do so.

Alot of Boxers with colitis do really well on either a homecooked or raw diet. If this is not possible for you then the best kibbles I have found in Australia are available through either Pets Paradise or Pet Goods Direct. They stock the natura range - California Natural, Innova, Innova Evo...

We feed alot of Kangaroo (I know you probably can't get it over there) but in looking at the health benefits of Kangaroo I found that it is high in Conjugated Linoleic Acid (CLA) and that it is a Cancer fighting substance. CLA can be found in ruminant animals, so even though Kangaroo may not be...

Yikes! That is pricey, I get them over here for about $4 - $5 for 1.5kg from the grocery store, sometimes getting things like that from a grocery store or butcher/poultry place is cheaper as I find pet shops charge more for that kind of stuff.

My girl gets 1kg of food a day (split into two meals), so that would be roughly 30kg per month. 24kg muscle, 3kg offal and 3kg bone would be the rough break down of what my girl gets per month. It may be a little confusing getting used to cuts and the different meat to bone ratios but you will...

The digestive systems of dogs are different than that of humans. Dogs have a shorter digestive tract which means the meat passes through faster without giving bacteria time to colonise. Their saliva contains an enzyme called lysozyme giving the saliva antibacterial properties. Their gut is...

Regardless of the "form of raw meat" you use you need to be sure to include 10% bone and 10% offal. When feeding ground you need to either buy ground that has bone ground in with it, add bone meal to it or feed bone as meals (chicken frames, turkey necks etc). You also need to add a variety of...

I think part of the difference with the Australian version of Frontline Plus is that it covers the Australian Paralysis Tick, it can be a deadly little bugger and it is only found over here so the US version would not have or need the "active ingredients" for that particular nasty or whatever...

Hi, fellow Aussie here, you can get the Natura range of kibble - Innova (5 star), California Natural (4 star), Healthwise (4 star), and Evo (6 star). Pets Paradise chains and Pet Goods Direct stock them, however they only seem to stock the chicken/turkey ones I have not been able to find any...

The poop is sooo small it looks like it is from a small or toy breed and it doesn't smell either. LILLYLARUE I mainly feed meats on the bone but I do keep some ground with puree veg in the freezer for times like you were explaining, we used to have kibble "just in case" but she wouldn't eat it...

I wouldn't give more than two eggs a week. Boxers are known to be lanky and skinny looking as pups, you should be able to see their last two ribs slightly but you don't want to see their pelvis or other bones showing. If I had a dollar for each time someone commented our girl looked skinny...
