What is the worst thing your dog has ever eaten/attempted to eat? Asking because I just pulled a used condom from out of my dogs mouth with my bare hands and I don't think I'll ever be clean again.

why wouldnt you mix it? i mean food is food right? i know doing a hard and fast switcheroo can cause soem stomach upsrt if you dont wean but just adding some extra raw shouldnt matter to much right? O.o

i made a commitment to bax so im not above adding raw back into his diet for his health, i do want to try other options first before i throw in the kibble towel

So bax used to be raw fed and he had the most gorgeous pearly whites. Ever since i switched him to kibble they've gotten worse and worse and now they are downright gross. I've tried chews with him but he's not really a chewing kind of dog and has stopped accepting any of the brands ive tried...

Yeah he chased anything. Squirrels rabbits birds the works. And again I’m not super concerned about him coming back when called. I want him to come back period. I’m worrying about him running away and getting lost or just choosing to not come back

6 year old rat terrier. Worked extensively on off leash walking and recall about 3-4 years ago. He was pretty good till he lapped the barn three times chasing a chicken. Ignored all attempts at recall. He had fun. I did not. He hasn’t been off lead since. What are my odds on getting him off lead...

talked to a work friend and she just bought adult pullups and taped it to fit her lab.... hmmmm

Worth a shot, any recommendations for a brand?

i work in the walmart of nursing homes. its a 300+ bed facility. i cant ask the nursing staff =( i think i might do some more digging on nappies though. post on other forums for ideas.....

not sure. its worth a thought. i mean, he LOVES the nursing home but he's definitely amped up to 11. i think the one time at the nursing home was because i didn't give him a LONG walk to empty his bowels and he just really had to go and had no reason not to. that maybe COMBINED with stress and...

ive yet to find a dog nappy that doesnt fall off and that covers his "ehem" parts. as to the carrier thats a no go for the same reason he's never been crated. the reason this is really concerning for me is because he and i love going to the nursing home and the last time we went he pooed in...

So this is going to be a long thread with a lot of backstory for a very simple question. When I first got Bax at 8 months he'd never set foot inside. All he knew was pottying wherever he pleased outside. I brought him home and immediately brought him into an environment that was full of...

well he's back on regular poops. poops twice a day, solid, no blood. i've done so little im tempted to say he just recovered on his own. i DIDNT do the high fiber diet. i HAVE given him pumpkin with every meal. i gave him....two? pills but i keep forgetting them and i think im going to...

i talked to him about raw and he didnt like raw because it didn't have the full spread of alllll the nutrients. it wasnt the bone or the salmonella he didnt like. and agree, im not super worried about his guts being misplaced given that a change in diet fixed everything. im not closed to the...

Nope, he said he doesnt do them because he wants an..... expert to? he rattled off some title of some kind of specialist he'd want to do it.

and we're back. I came out with a "try this and see." he recommended additional blood testing looking specifically at white blood cell count, but more pressingly an ultrasound of the abdomen. he backed off on both those things though and set me up with a different plan to try for a week or...

His behavior is way different today to. normally he doesnt give a fig for me but he's been following me around and whenever i stop moving he lays down. definitly not feeling great.

Well maybe it WASNT that. been a week after he popped his pills and hes gotten a lot worse. pooped six times on our walk (normally only once) and 2-3 of those times was just straight blood. calling the vt again tomarrow...

he's never eaten SOIL but he does eat grass when his tummy is feeling poorly.

im tempted to say that as well. it DID go away when he switched and it DID come back when he switched back to kibble.........
