Hi all - So for the last year of baxters 2 years, he has had what I assumed was just a cute bully "squint". I noticed his right eye was always a little more closed, but everyone jokes that he's trying to look "smooth" in pictures :). I always thought he was just doing a "squishy face" squint...

Heathcliff is very loving and energetic 3 year old bulldog. He enjoys walks, going to the park and most of all playing with his toys. His favorite game is a cross between fetch and tug of war. He loves to chase after any toy you throw, but when he brings it back he won’t drop it. If you...

Wally has been shedding a LOT the last couple of weeks… I'm really stumped on this one. He's on Fromm's Beef and I also ordered some Pork and Peas. His stools look good, ears are good, minor paw licking (which I think is just from him playing in the pool water… Lol). He DOES have tear stains...

For about a month now Belle has been shedding like crazy. Before this she rarely dropped any hair so this has been a big change. I'm assuming it's from the season change?? She has been itching a good bit more and today I noticed two tiny spots on her coat where the hair is thin. The skin is not...

However, when he turned 7 months old he started eating really slowly to the point where it's so drastic that it's concerning. We feed him breakfast at 7am and he typically...

Goodness. Excessive shedding nowadays. Don't quite recall when we first got him shedding so much hair. I also changed his food to TOTW high prairie. Wonder if it's because of that.
