"During the 1990s, the FDA's Center for Veterinary Medicine (CVM) received reports from veterinarians that pentobarbital seemed to be losing its effectiveness for anesthesia in dogs. Based on these reports, the Center decided to investigate the theory that the dogs were exposed to pentobarbital thro...

For those of you who think "meat and bone meal" in the ingredient list is alright, you might want to reconsider your stance. AAFCO has finally admitted that rendered pets (with remaining phenobarbitol from euthanasia) tumors , infections , road kill and a host of other crap are used in the manufactu...

If i had only one or two dogs, I would definitely have my Vet do it.
If I had a big bunch of dogs, I might consider doing it myself.

My lab mix currently has heartworms but I do not have a $700-$1000 for treatments at the vet. I heard about people getting heartworm treatment for other animals like live stock from a store and using a smaller dosage on their dog. Has anybody had experience with this? This is for Heartworm Preventi...

He really doesn't have that much training. He knows sit, lay, and come. And I'll just lay off the training till the worms are gone. You need to get on a Proven - Modern - Sequential training program. You have left a lot of holes that need to be filled. Worms are not the problem -- poor training is ...

They will eat the raw meat first because they like it better. Not always.

Del Lolo

I guess it all depends on what a person is satisfied on. For me, the dog needs to put on a good hunt -- point -- be steady to FSF - and retrieve. I also want a dog that will do excellent Blind Retrieves, which results in far less cover being disturbed than just letting a dog run around until it stum...

I run pointers.... I hunt pointers.... Always have...always will. The retrieve has always been a very minor consideration. I'll put it more bluntly. I don't give a rat's patoot about retrieving.... Never have...never will. I figure if I shoot straight, the bird will fall dead. The day I can't go to...

Dogs may well be 99% the same as wolves, but a big portion of that other 1% is directly related to what dogs can digest. As wolves became domesticated, their genes adapted to a starch-rich diet of human leftovers (and the majority of those "leftovers" had been cooked). Does anybody remember this stu...

Last Fall, I found a dead deer (had been wounded and died, but not recovered by the hunter). I had a small bag of Purina Pro Plan (the 3 lb. size that is handed out at HRC Hunt Tests). I don't feed Purina, so I emptied the sack about 5 feet from the dead deer. Guess what the coyotes (and maybe wolve...

Doc E just sent this to me: I think it's noteworthy to those who live, or travel and hunt, in the province of Quebec that they have recently made the use of e-collars, or more specifically "any collar that causes pain or injury", illegal.

I bet Del Lolo could put you in touch with a source of quality Omega 3's. I think he "knows" a chiropractor who is a dog nutrition expert and a developer of dog pharmaceuticals.

Aside from that, Eukanuba did extensive studies many years ago that showed high protein was not detrimental to dogs but actually beneficial as they age and their work actually changed how many human nutritionists treated people as well.

Sharon you are reading an article put out by someone with an agenda. They are trying to sell their products.

Personally, I find Senior food to be silly.
Just feed them your regular 30/20 -- just smaller amounts.

Stop retrieves during FF.
While you are doing FF, also concentrate on Obedience.
You said, "She is doing very good with all obedience training" --- I say Balderdash. The dog is not coming to you on the HERE command.
FF + OB at this time.

I never switch my old dogs, it seems to make them go downhill faster. I find it better to keep their metabolism high as long as possible. I agree. High protein is necessary in old dogs for 'repair' and maintenance of muscle. Fat is needed to keep a failing metabolism up to speed. Just feed less to ...

According to my firend Doc E : Albumin (egg white) must be coagulated before it can be assimilated. It can be coagulated by cooking or chemically. If it's coagulated chemically (in the body), it takes large amounts of Biotin to do so. This can lead to biotin deficiency. Egg yolk can be well digested...

Are "we" still experiencing technical difficulties ? --- Even after 3+ months ?

From Wikipedia :
The word is one of the few that has legitimate colloquial usage as a verb, adverb, adjective, command, conjunction, exclamatory, noun and pronoun.

I don't know of any other single word that can be used so many different ways.

The most universal word commonly used is the "eff" word. It can be used in many dozens of ways. Did you even know where it originated ? I do. It originated from the first letters of " F ornication U nder C onsent of the K ing". (For you younger folks, it did not originate from the Van Halen album, "...
