    Finally got it! Coconut oil!

    This summer my boys were attacked by countless number of insects. Voitto even more so, since he is the one that adventures in grass and all possible bushes. His forhead was like a battle field with bold patches and bumbs. I, in my infamous wisdom, sprayed it with serum that is brown....so his...

    Question about using Coconut Oil

    Once again, my mother has offered her "expert" opinion on my Bulldogs and, of all things, their weight. She sent me this link to an article that says using coconut oil can cause pancreatitis and/or obesity in your dog. I use coconut oil on their food once a day, and I believe it has given them...

    I asked my vet about the rough dry nose

    And her response made sense. She noted that Porkchop's tongue can only reach so high up when he licks his nose. The top part is "dry" because his tongue can't "exfoliate" the growth of the nose, which constantly grows and sheds. The lower part, where his tongue can reach, is shiny and smooth...
