Great point to make because I don't think this is understood by many. After I started researching about vaccines I learned that the mothers antibodies will render the vaccine useless in young pups. The mothers antibodies don't wear off until around 16 weeks of age so basically your pup isn't...
I always did the yearly shots (rabies, DHPP and lepto) thinking I was doing the best thing for my dog. After my 10 yr old dogs yearly vaccines her problems began. I read A LOT about vaccines and am convinced that I did more harm to her immune system than good by doing yearly shots. I whole...
My baby had discharge for almost a year. It was a thicker yellowish discharge and usually happened after urinating. Vet checked her out and said he couldn't see anything wrong. I assumed it was just puppy vaginitis. She's a year and a half now and I haven't seen any discharge. I'd ask the vet...
Thank you for all of the suggestions. Reading these makes me think that maybe the finish is just wearing down because a drop of drool or water leaves a mark. The floors are 13 years old and we just moved in this year. We will probably try to lightly sand and refinish if we can in a few years. I...
I am very careful to wipe up the drool from my hardwood floors after feeding my dogs or after they get water BUT there are times when drops land on the floor and I don't see it until after it dries. The drops leave a ring only visible at certain angles when the light shines on it and I can't get...
I used this stuff for many years with no problems but a family member used it on their boston terrier and she lost her fur and had red skin at the application site. I am trying a natural route now...but I found 1 flea the other day. Yikes....if I find more I guess I'll have to apply advantix...
What a great idea to leave them in the tray! I always worry about my choking as they chomp once and swallow! Love that this will probably help them cool off better too!
I tried frozen yogurt treats too and my girls had runny poops. I guess mine don't do well with yogurt - and I used Greek plain yogurt. They do fine with raw goat milk though and so I made some treats with that and they love it. I just cut up some fruit, poured a little raw goat milk over it and...
I will give the lemons a try but start with a test patch of fur just to make sure. We are both miserable! Can't wait for The weather to cool off and take these pesky mosquitoes with them. Thanks for all of the suggestions. :D
I guess I just started to worry about over using the essential oils. I bought a premade essential oil mix which said to use before hiking in the woods or once a week as a preventative but I started to worry about daily use. I know essential oils are a great alternative to traditional pesticides...
I know they bother her because they love me too! I HATE mosquitoes. I feel like I have to do something each time we go out to keep them at bay. The essential oil mix we use has lemon oil & lemongrass among other things but the mosquitoes only stay away when it's first applied which is why I was...
