I too am a great believer in the benefits of raw. Our pup switched from dry to raw at 10 weeks - he enjoyed it, his coat condition improved and he's poos were not smelly. I used the All About Dog Food website that JudyN recommended and chose Natural Raw Puppy Food

I don't understand how homeopathy can work for dogs. It works for humans through the placebo effect, but dogs? Do they believe it's good for them so feel better?

Ours has his snout on the AC air vent in the back when we are in the car. When we get back he lays on cool shaded tiles in the kitchen then trots out to the garden to get his paws wet in the doggy paddling pool (thicker lining that claws don't puncture). Although his back is black and feels...

We started our pup on the same kibble the breeder had him on (Step Up To Naturals). We then found the AllAboutDogFood.co.uk comparison site and decided to change him to a raw diet - Natural Instinct Puppy plus extras like duck necks and chicken wings. We soon noticed changes: better coat...

He's adorable

She said he was fine with the big dryer that some pups are scared of but didn't like his paws touched so the claw clipping was hard; we need to do some training on paws before next time. He is yet to find anything stinky to roll in.

Sitka is back from his first trip to the groomers: all clean and tidy and sporting a bandana. What's the betting he will find some fox poo to roll in this evening?

Children of the 70s (like us two) remember The Banana Splits and if we got a beagle pup we would name him Fleegle.

Has anyone had their dog vaccinated against canine Lyme disease? I am looking into it as Sitka is high risk - he does lots of running through grasslands with high deer populations. I pull ticks off him using the twisting tool technique.

It got worse on his forest walk today. He smelt something and went running into the trees, he came back with a deer head.

I agree with the advice to consult a local vet. Google searches on malaria in dogs are difficult as they are nearly all about sniffer dogs detecting malaria in humans. I have used my university's search engine to find a peer reviewed paper on canine malaria. I could not find one but several...

Dexter is a gorgeous boy, sorry to hear of his troubles. Hopefully the wise owls on here can help you.

I have shouted at my pup on a few occasions and have felt bad too but we have soon made up with a cuddle. You are not a bad person - puppies can test the patience of a saint.

Sitka turned 6 months yesterday; he is a husky/lab cross, more husky in appearance and temperament with one exception - he has a lab's appetite. He is on a raw diet - 500g of mince in the morning, 500g in the evening and a snack at lunchtime (duck neck, 100g of heart meat, say). He weighs...

I enjoyed it too, especially the bulldog and great dane. I was pleased that the AKC there had no snootiness towards mongrels.

When Sitka moved to raw his farts were less stinky. I know this but Patsy doesn't as I blame him for my emissions. I hope somebody can help with NSAIDs knowledge.

Our dog is on a raw diet. He gets mince for breakfast and dinner but for lunch he gets a frozen duck neck - lots of meaty licking then a good crunch session.

If you want to see how much and how quickly a dachshund can eat raw food there is a short video at ; I was surprised. I buy from Natural Instinct where I can get ground meat and duck necks but not rabbit kidneys or duck hearts. If you buy these online please tell me - where from?

I have been reading up on cryptorchidism (undescended testicles) as our pup is five months and only has one showing. Undescended testicles can produce testosterone but not sperm.

Our puppy is now five months and thriving on a raw diet: glossy coat, consistent stools, growing well. He is on Natural Instinct raw puppy food < Natural Raw Puppy Food >which scored well for nutrition on < AllAboutDogFood.co.uk > and is affordable for us at £3.06 per kg.
