It's perfectly normal to be worried, It's just so very hard to live with when your pup is so young. Try to stay positive - and hold on to the fact...

I'm so pleased to hear @RMBIII that you are changing you trainer :) . US regulations state that a puppy food must have a minimum % of protein,...
Hi @Lorraine Seale and welcome to the forum. So sorry to hear about your boy's problem. My girl started limping at 5 months which was diagnosed as...
