    Food Switch Help

    You can also try Ziwipeak. Their dry food is air-dried so it's almost raw without being raw. You can add water, bone broth, or another liquid if you want to, but you can feed it plain. Because of the way it's produced, it's super concentrated so you don't feed as much. And trust me, you do NOT...

    Contaminants in our dog's food

    Just FYI, I came across this link from a FB group I belong to: Clean label rating site misleading to pet food consumers | PetfoodIndustry.com. I was pretty suspicious when they raved about Purina but bashed The Honest Kitchen for some things.

    Green Tripe?

    Oh, okay. I get it now. I thought you had access to some magical new food! LOL!

    Green Tripe?

    Do you think it's the different texture? Because Vital Essentials has a freeze dried tripe food. It's small nuggets that smell awful but look like dry kibble. I've used it for traveling before and it's really great. Then, maybe you can go from the freeze dried tripe to canned or fresh in a slow...

    Green Tripe?

    Huh. Beezy LOVES tripe. I mean, she cannot get enough of it. And because it's so good for her, I give it to her every day. Sometimes, it'll even be her entire meal. I don't even notice the smell anymore, but her dad does. @Rudi_Lim, I have never in my life heard of black tripe. What is that?

    The hidden truth about raw dog treats and raw diets

    You can. Vital Essentials is a brand I've used in the past. They've done one voluntary recall that I'm aware of, but there were no customer complaints that triggered it. My only issue with commercial frozen raw is that it's way more expensive than doing it on your own because you're paying for...

    Ollie the Poop Machine

    Beezy was like this when we first brought her home and we eventually realized she has a chicken intolerance. Any food with chicken ingredients in it would cause her to poop like crazy. I'd recommend switching to a different protein to see what happens. We switched to raw, and we're down to one...

    Daycare Question - Nervous Mom!

    Beezy has gone to daycare twice a week since she was six months old. I know she plays super hard because she's exhausted when I pick her up after work, and she sleeps on the ride home and pretty much all evening. There's never been an issue with her overheating. They tell me that she will stop...

    Anyone solely feed their Frenchie a raw/BARF diet?

    We're yeast-free now but it's a constant issue we battle. We avoid anything starchy or that will break down into sugars that will feed the yeast, so if you have a yeast issue I would not give honey. Our safe proteins are alligator, venison, beef, goat, rabbit, pork, and bison. We cannot do any...

    Giardia Help!

    Also, when you say she's testing positive, are they doing a full fecal by sending the sample to a lab and spinning it? I was told that if they're doing the test in-house, most vet offices don't have the capability to truly test for giardia and it will show as positive when the dog has only been...

    Giardia Help!

    We just recently dealt with this and this is what my breeder told me to do: Get the horse version of Safeguard from Amazon or your local Tractor Supply-type store. It's a paste that comes in a giant syringe, and getting the large size for horses makes it much more economical. It's the same...

    Very Small French Bulldog

    Mine just turned three and I still worry about her weight and frame all the time. She's totally normal, of course, I'm just being a worry wort. Beezy tops the scale at 16 lbs., 2 oz. She was the runt of the litter and nearly died from aspirated pneumonia, so I assume that contributed to her...

    Help: Major Surgery and Anesthesia

    You can give the regular. Here's an article that talks about dosage and explains that it's not tested on dogs so there can be issues, which they basically have to do so they can't get sued, but it also says that vets have recently begun to prescribe it. It also talks about using slippery elm but...
