Our older Lab, Tilly, is prone to yeast infections also. We use an ear wash anytime she has been in the water, and one with a steroid in it if...
A couple of weeks ago, we were at an off leash area, and a pit and a couple of labradoodles were playing with Cooper, chasing balls etc. I...
We have a friend with two Black Labs that are in the 120-130# range. They are huge. They look more bench than field. I haven't seen them...
Both our dogs are vaccinated for Bordetellosis, but I understand that it is not a 100% protection. We hope that Tilly doesn't come down with it.
Looks like Cooper has Kennel Cough. At least that is what the vet thinks and is treating her for. It started pretty violently early Monday...
When Ginger was bitten by our neighbors GSD she took a dislike to all GSDs. She was still fine with other dogs. I wonder if Shadow will be...
[ATTACH] [ATTACH] It was about 70 F but about 25K wind. It was warm out of the wind, and the Ocean wasn't too cold. FWIW, almost no one swims...
Even though we are only 70 miles from the Ocean, we don't go there too often, since we are mostly mountain folks. We finally got a nice day to...
How many vets do they have at the clinic, and what are the hours? Our clinic has 4 (maybe 5 now) vets, and while we usually go to a particular...
I had never heard that before, but we have always fed less than the Mfg recommendations, too. Tilly at 67# is on just a little over 2 cups a day...
We don't soak the kibble normally. A few times I've done it by accident, when someone put the food or water in the wrong bowl. Our dogs often...
I'm really surprised about the dogs running loose in Spain. When we were in Italy I don't think I ever saw a dog that was not on a leash, or in...
Cooper chews up wood, both branches and scraps all the time, but splinters don't seem to be a problem. She can always find a tree branch on our...
Both of our dogs love to play with balls or other toys but neither of them will play with toys very long by them selves if there is not an...
Both of our pups were kept under pretty close supervision when they were young. Early on in a pet pen in the kitchen, and then just in the...
Cooper doesn't chew furniture, but she is death on sticks. She will pick them up in the yard or shop, and then shred them in the house. I can't...
Our first Lab was a 4 yr old rescue and had to be spayed shortly after we got her (humane society rules). She always had the run of the house...
We used to use a Furminator a lot on Tilly, but Cooper thinks it is an instrument of the Devil. I don't know if it actually hurts a little, or if...
When Cooper was small we would say "No Bite" and stop playing. We would try the rope toys instead of hands also. Our other lab was more firm...
Is a long line the same as long lead? The ones we used were 3/4" cotton webbing, so they were easier to hold, and less dangerous to fingers etc....
