Its called a Kibble Ball! Or at least our is anyway. The best toy ever, or until the kibble is gone or it gets stuck under something.

Hi all, It has been quite a long time since I posted or browsed BW. In the past 2 years since posting I have had a child and just didn't find the time to "surf" any more. Now being back to work I somehow find the time ;) Anyway, just thought I would re-introduce myself. Cheers,

Hey All, It has been sometime since I have posted here. I have come back to do research on new foods. The Canidae change has been horrible for us as well. Poor guy is so itchy & very smelly, chews his feet like crazy. I may switch to a grain free kibble or actually a raw diet and see if...

Vegas gets acne if we don't wash his kibble bowl daily or wipe his chomps after he eats. Especially the wiping of the chops, it really helps. Alot of people I know don't wash their bowls when they feed kibble. A unwashed bowl will harbor lots of bacteria. If we don't do either of these things...

Let me know if the Iodine works. I asked my vet and she said that it may not work but it wouldn't hurt to try, atleast it will keep it clean. I am going to start with it tonight and see what happens.

Thanks Albie, this anwsered some questions that keep popping up. I keep wondering if the aspirate will say one thing, then when the lump is sent to the lab will they come back saying that its somthing totally different, like a malignant/benign cancer or somthing. Rock's Ma - Thanks for that as...

Thanks guys, that was what I was looking for, just some reassurance I guess. I was having a hard time making a decision on what to do. I think I will keep measuring it over the next week. I tentitavly booked an appt with the vet to have to removed on Wednesday. If it stay's the same size in...

Hi all, I would like your opinions on Histiocytoma's. Vegas has one on his elbow and from researching it seems common. He has had it for almost 3 weeks and it has gotten considerably bigger since I first noticed it. It was the size of a tiny pimple and now it is almost the size of a kidney...

I saw a show that had this same problem. They did scent training with the stuffed animals. This works well because you can choose which animals you dog can have and which ones he can't have by putting scents on them. Now you will have to reasearch this more to do it correctly but here is the...

Wow! Like I and all the others I am surprised at that one. We have a dog aggresive boxer as well. Does the same, lunging and growling, the whole bit. We have had him through alot of training and work with him often to try and curb the problem. Anything that we have ever been told is you have...

From my experience and the results we have gotten from allergy testing my thought is that allergies are specific. Although I am sure there are dogs allergic to all fowl. Vegas is extremely allergic to a varitey of things, protien being a major one. We allergy tested him and he is very...

So I like this idea. Vegas has lots of allergies so it would be nice to control the ingredients. If I were to do this it wouldn't be somthing he would get everyday. So my question is.....How do I give this to him without having him starting to demand it at every feeding and protesting his dry...

I have been told the same thing when Vegas was 10-11 weeks old. There was a man that used to freelance at my DH's work, I never really liked him as he was arrogant and thought he was the greatest man around. Vegas goes to work with Dh everyday. One day I came to pick them up one and while...

I know what your going through. Its like pulling your hair out. Vegas is really allergic to many, many things. We tried the elimation diet and it was so fustrating because when ever we switched to somthing new it wouldn't change or it would get worse but nothing ever got better. I can...

Great thanks, I will try the Fish and the Flax seeds. I am sure he will like both. I wondered about the Mercury content so thats mostly why I inquired about the type. I have heard that Tea Tree oil is toxic to dog and especially cats. Am I wrong on this one? I read this somewhere but also used...
