Cooper slimes herself sometimes also.
Both our dogs, especially Tilly do that, in both grass and snow.
We have only had female labs, but my Malamute and the Collie I had growing up were both intact, and I don't recall ever thinking it was a problem....
Our vets said that grains are seldom the issue, that it is usually the protein. We seem to find that Tilly is less itchy on a chicken based food...
We had Tilly spayed before her first season, but by the time we got Cooper we had heard the advice to wait and we did. Her first season was not...
Tilly and Cooper both eat grass sometimes, and it normally does not mean they are sick or upset.
Good luck, I hope it goes as well for your dog as it did for Ginger. Let us know how it goes.
Both Tilly and Cooper would chase balls when they were very small pups. They would often bring them back, but not always. Throwing tennis balls...
One of my friends had his several year old Lab die suddenly in the night a few years ago. He had two Labs that he hunted, and it was the younger...

Our dogs have always had two homes, our house in town and our ski cabin. No real issues getting them used to either of them. The rules are a...
Cooper, 22 month, and Tilly 11 years used to steal all kinds of things and chew them up when they were pups. Both have learned to confine their...
We don't normally treat our dogs for fleas, and they never seem to get them. We do treat if we are going on a road trip to the family farm in...
FWIW the major advantage to the Acme is that they always have the same pitch, and if you loose it you can buy another one that will still sound...
Yes Cooper is a Lab. See my Avatar. I will do the questionnaire again, if she is old enough. She is almost 2 now. I will do the CBARQ for...
I was going to do CBARQ for Cooper as well, but I'm not sure what the point is. What happens to the data, since Cooper is not in the Itchey Dog...
