Is purina puppy chow bottom of the line dog food? by
mcguirk
I recently got a pembroke welsh corgi puppy. We started feeding her purina
puppy chow and she loves it. I took her to the vet the other day to get
her checked out and update some shots and the vet said switch to purina
one because puppy chow is bottom of the line. So I bought a small bag...

Frogman
Hello all,

Labrador) which requires castration, so I phoned my local vet and was
told this would cost between £200 and £250 which seems a little steep
to me, has anyone had their dog done recently and if so what was the
cost?

Communicating with GSD going deaf by
Bill Braun
Our 12 y/o GSD is losing her hearing. We find ourselves
falling into the trap of raising our voices to make sure we
are heard. We are concerned it will convey anger to her. Any
thoughts on healthy communication with a dog losing its hearing?

Since it seems to be an issue when people don't archive their posts

Kennel Cough duration of treatment by
James
I recently adopted a 3 month old puppy from the SPCA. Appears to be
some kind of pit/lab/shepherd mix. He had only been in the pound for
5 days, but long enough to catch a type of kennel cough. Started
getting a runny nose and coughing pretty much the day we brought him
home. Took him to the...

Is egg yolk OK for dogs by
[email protected]
I throw away 8 egg yolks everyday, since I use the white, but not the
yolk. I wonder if it would be OK to add a yolk or two to my puppy's (9
week old border collie) Purina Puppy Chow, or should I wait until I
introduce the lower fat and lower protein food in a few months, or
should I just forget...

SPCA protects who's interests? by

Adult food for puppies. by

I have a purebred Boston Terrier. She is 14 weeks old. Always had a
"sensitive tummy". Belched a lot when she was younger, kind of like a human
baby who "spits up". Seemed like her tummy was always in turmoil. She
acted hungry at mealtime, but didn't seem to satiate her appetite without
