    A question for those feeding the honest kitchen

    Hi friends, i need some advice on how much honest kitchen to feed Lola. I tried the recommended 2 cups (dry) per day (with added water of course) for 50lb dog, but she was pooping like crazy! Like middle of the night 4th poops crazy. She had been a once a day pooper her whole life. So i...

    Picky Eaters... Who's Got One?

    Lola is a very picky eater and i've resorted to hand feeding her at times (she is 6 1/2 now). With her attitude and her allergies, we've moved through lots of really great kibbles, freeze dried foods, jerky like kibbles, all the exotic proteins. Her best run was on NVI raw frozen pellets...

    Optimal Summer and Winter Thermostat Settings

    we keep at 65 in the winter and 72-74 in the summer. we tend to spend time in our finished basement which seems to have nicer temp control than the second floor which is usually hot. I would say no hotter than 75 for bulldogs in the summer and certainly no sudden temp changes that will be hard...

    Over Weight EB

    our little old lady gets 1/2 cup of kibble twice daily...plus sweet potato fries as treats. using the frozen green beans will help fill your pups tummy while cutting back. plus they're not mushy and it will take some time to chew 'em up

    What’s ailing Vegas?

    sweet vegas. We see many of these symptoms when Foxy's ear infection rears its ugly head. She has really really deep canals and the infection never really goes away despite our best efforts of cleaning daily (sometimes twice). Twice a year she'll start by shivering in bed (in pain) and her...

    Probiotics - options

    herbsmith has literally turned Fox into a new pup! no more eyeball tumor becoming inflamed and popping out, no more rectal polyp sightings or bleeding, no more incontinence. We used to use fortiflora but herbsmith less expensive and extremely effective at 1 or two per day.

    My bulldog always smells even after two days from bathing? Why?

    to ease the itchies you can use chlorhexidine shampoo or wipes. but i think a food change is needed as well. it sometimes can take a few tries to get the food right for each bully. i think thats also an underestimate. one protein food. one of mine is on raw, the other on limited ingredient...
