A couple of years ago, my 7 year old standard poodle starting getting dry flaking skin on his back, then hair loss. It has been getting progressively worse. His thick, beautiful coat is a thing of the past and he smells bad. The vet didn't diagnose it; I did, on Google. He has Sebaceous...

My brother's Yorkshire Terrier has bitten me three times in the past two months and I've had enough of it. I've done everything possible to placate it, and all the talk about curing with kindness is rubbish. As he refuses to get rid of it I want to, need to break its spirit. What can I do to make a...

...........in mice and rats. Apparently there's also a couple of instances of tumors in dogs. Personally I'm surprised they haven't found more growths associated with chips. Not necessarily cancerous tumors, but a benign attempt by the body to sequester this foreign object. NOW they want to do...

Just wanted to post something about my friend Pluto. I had him for almost 19 years but finally had to say goodbye to him a few months ago on april 10th. Things got to be too much for him so I couldn't let him suffer anymore. He went blind about 18 months ago but that didn't slow him down much....

Skin problems can be pretty common in some dogs, especially during the summer. But did you know that there are other causes of skin problems in dogs that you might not be aware of? Things in our environment, commercial dog food and intolerance build ups to common things like fleas. I have created a...

My own vet said commercial dog food killed my dog, Noble, because preservatives it contains caused his kidneys to fail. In fact, through my own research I discovered dog food contains at least 6 deadly chemicals that have been banned from human foods because they cause: Kidney cancer Bladder...

My 3 year old sheltie is very frequently nibbling at her feet. I have checked all of them and can not see anything except now they are reddened where she has been biting them. Her white feet now have a pinkish colour to them because she has chewed some of the hair off. This happened once before...

When we first welcome Demon and Pudge into our home we noticed that they *constantly* threw up a yellow liquid. Most times it was a little frothy as well. As in a bit of foam on top. I chocked it up to poor diet and worms (both of which they were affected by). Now, almost 2 years later, once...

Anyone use their services? I have a friend who swears by them, I never saw one until the Petsmart added one to their store. Just curious what they provide and if they are generally liked.

if a dog eats some cooked chicken bones, are they guaranteed to have a problem or is it just a possibility? maui got into some trash that was on the back deck and may have eaten some bone by the time I can back. one website said to just keep a close eye on him for problems going to the...

My golden retriever did something strange today, in fact twice (my son observed it this morning. I saw it tonight). She would be quietly laying down than get up but one of her front paws would be drawn up close to her body, her tail tucked under her and a somewhat glassy look in her eyes. I...

Although this topic seems to generate some flame wars I'll take my chances and post anyway... I've used thornit with great results before but have given my supply away and now need to get more. I was surprised to find more than one supplier out there and I can't remember which one I'd bought...
