raw

I bought Buttercup a beef knuckle bone from the meat market today to try to improve her dental hygiene. She licked and chewed at it for a few minutes then stopped, gave me an "I did something bad and now I'm in trouble" look, then promptly vomited 4 times. She didn't eat any of the bone itself...

I found this article on Bloat on my e-mail this morning, Think You Know What Causes Dog Bloat? You Might Be Surprised… Dog bloat is scary. You feed your dog and bam, the worse thing imaginable happens. Unfortunately, it’s not something that is talked about until after you’ve had an...

We are new to this Bulldog thing, merry Christmas! We are working on crate training our 7 week old. Looking for something safe to give her that is special to her in her crate. Understand pigs ears and raw hides are bad ideas. The Kitchen chairs she'd like to chew fortunately won't fit in the...

My English bully Vinnie is now 2 1/2 years old had emergency surgery in August for stones that completely blocked his urethra. Luckily they were all removed! The stones came back as Cystine and he has been put on Hills U/D diet to prevent the stones from forming again. Let me tell you this is...

As some of you might remember, Castor was eating raw but before his nares/soft palate surgery the vet asked us to put him on some allergy food as he was scratching himself badly. We now seem to have ruled out food allergy (he is a bit yeasty but his previous scratching stopped after his surgery)...

Today Castor had his post-surgery (nares and soft palate) checkup. Everything looks fine, and difference in breathing is amazing. When we first took him for an evaluation of his breathing problems, they suggested he might also have a allergy problem as he was scratching himself raw, but as...

Today is a difficult one for me… a year ago today we lost our big beautiful boy Winston. As I sit here in tears, I can tell you every little detail about that day… but I don't want to focus on that today, it's too raw for me to go into the details of what happened. I will say that it will go...

I have newly acquired a EBD. I was told by the breeder that he feeds him raw chicken all the time. However, I find that hard to believe. And according to the people at the pet store, there is no way due to the fact of his size (65 pounds.). I don't know anything about raw feeding. When I got him...

Hey All! I am writing prematurely from Arlington, VA as I prepare to embark down the journey of hopefully adopting an English Bulldog. I am jumping the gun a bit, as it's not yet a member of our family, however, we expect to finish up the process by Christmas. I stumbled upon this site/forum...

Roxie started her Vetoryl a couple of days ago, and at first the only thing that we have noticed is very slight shaking… the vet has been contacting me daily, and this is normal w/this medication initially. One of the most common side effects of this med is gastric upset, and I've noticed the...

I started feeding Pepper my 4yr old female over the weekend a ground raw diet. She's been on Grandma Luckys Chicken and did good. A little background on Pepper, suffers from allergies and UTI's which she gets every 3-4 months almost like clock work. The vet just keep putting her on antibiotics...

Hello everyone! It's been a while. Haven't been on the boards for such a long time. I have a question, my ACE is now 13 months. He's healthy, full of life, and loves to eat, lol. One thing though that I've been constantly battling since he was about 5 months old is his excessive shedding. Now...

I just saw on Facebook that somebody's bulldog got rushed into emergency surgery because they had a rawhide lodged in their throat. Rawhides are just not good for our bully's!!!

I am looking to switch to a ground raw diet from a home cooked diet. I've looked online for weeks now at raw diets for bulldogs and its all so confusing. Does anyone have a diet that is complete as possible that has worked very well for them they wouldn't mind sharing?

I have not had a puppy in a long time which makes me feel pretty "rusty" and like a newbie all over again. And I never had a bulldog puppy (boxer yes, but no bulldog). So I am brining my puppy home this Wednesday which makes me both excited and terrified because I realize that I still have so...

Oops, I have not noticed at first that there is a dedicated raw feeding forum, so I posted a video of our puppy Kira eating raw beef for the first time in the main "nutrition" section...

Two days till our puppy Kira comes home! Since I am planning on feeding her raw meat, per my request the breeder agreed to introduce her to raw meat. Yesterday she tried her first place of raw ground beef :). She was just licking it at first till she got brave enough to actually eat this new...

Hilda was diagnosed with demodex at 5 months ,she out grew the patch but unfortunatly has developed a few more patches she is 12 months old now,there has been so much stress here so I know what has caused her mite population to take over,even tho she is raw fed her immune system has dipped ,here...

OK so we are on our third EB now and we have a 7 month old male named Rocky. Unfortunately he had a major issue with his penis area and it started bleeding bad for well over a week. It recently got much better and almost healed. Now to prevent him from doing it again we had him neutered. Sad day...

The vet called yesterday, and told me that Roxie's blood test confirms that she is more than likely suffering from cushings disease… since the holiday is upon us, we are scheduling her testing for Monday. The test for cushings is an 8 hour test... I'm curious if anyone has dealt w/cushings...

I've had bulldogs before but I sure don't remember either of my previous dogs being as gassy and stinky as Diesel is! Whew!! Is it a breed thing? Should I try a different food? We are feeding him what he was fed from his breeder (Eukanuba Large breed puppy). We didn't want to change much in the...
