When my pup had a UTI the vet gave me 'pet grade' cranberry pills. Looking at the ingredients it was honestly the same as a human cranberry supplement. It was advertised as a 'chewable pill' but really it was just a normal old dry cranberry supplement pill that I'd get for myself at the...

Thanks guys... honestly, I was shocked. The daycare seemed to have changed owners at some point. They had a big social media presence until about 2 years ago - really active FB, tons of photos, videos, and great reviews, and then they all just...stopped. I didn't see any negative reviews since...

He's so cute! He looks so little! Lily is turning a year on April 10. She is 28 pounds right now but should lose a couple of pounds. Her mom was pretty chunky.

Sweet puppy but it really seems like he has something mixed in. But I definitely wouldn't pay full Frenchie price. He looks a lot like a Frenchton to me.

Her face says it all.:w00t:

Hi all. Since this thread she was removed from daycare and her guarding has all but stopped. She is eating and playing normally. We discovered the daycare was leaving her in an outdoor concrete kennel alone for hours (it's winter here) with no toys, water etc. It certainly taught us a lesson...

Thanks everyone... The last couple of days have been much better with the guarding behaviour, but it seems like a cycle, where eventually she'll revert to guarding. She had daycare yesterday and actually had a great evening at home with no issues. When it's at its worse she guards literally...

Lily has completed a novice level obedience course (about 6 weeks in length). It was a small class with only 2 other dogs and a lot of one-on-one instructor time. It was a combination of positive reinforcement training and collar correction. She did really well and graduated successfully, even...

Lily is 9 months old now, and I'm trying to nip 'resource guarding' in the bud, but it seems to be getting worse. I don't know if this is part of the Frenchie personality, if she's just being a teenager, if she's learning bad manners from daycare (which she attends twice a week for...

Lily has gone through so many foods... Acana, Oriijen, Fromms, GO!, a few others I can't remember... She seems to have multiple allergies (grains and the normal Frenchie stuff plus poutry, potatoes, possibly legumes, possibly beef). We are feeding Natural Balance Limited Ingredient Diet Lamb and...

She developed a head tilt - you can see it in the photo. Cute - but worrisome! No other neurological signs. We were referred to the neuro who did a full work-up (MRI, spinal tap, blood, urine). She has partial paralysis on one side of her face, but there's no medical reason for it so she was...

Lily had a visit to a neuro and we gave her some french fries as a special treat (she loves them). She was still very 'high' from the anesthetic and forgot that she had them in her mouth.

Hi everyone, A BREAKTHROUGH HAS BEEN MADE!! My husband got a new job 2 weeks ago and we had to start leaving Lily at home by herself (we work too far away to visit at lunch). Our solution was to install an 'extreme temperature' dog door in the back door. It leads into a secure fenced backyard...

Thanks for the input guys. I am totally pulling my hair out! I get so frustrated, but it's hard to be mad at her. Thanks for the support that we are doing things right... I can't think of anything else to do except continuing to be consistent. Your story about Cheli staring makes me laugh...

Hi all, our little Lily is now 7 months old, and potty training has been incredibly frustrating. She is the sweetest girl - loves everyone, very gentle, such a clown - but I say this with as much love as I can muster...she seems to be spectacularly dim-witted. Leaps in understanding have been...
