Is this something Petsmart would carry ?

Yes, I would think so. I did see a different brand in the grocery store that also was made in US.

Jessi- If you are looking for made in America chicken jerky- try Blue Buffalo. It's expensive but an easily found chicken jerky product made here.

Congrats Judy and we are so incredible proud of Max's dad, Josh. He really has proven himself as a truly versatile dog!

've only been in a few times, but haven't seen much in the way of sporting dog gear. I joked once about hunting dogs and was given the cold shoulder by a couple different employees. So, the question is: do they support/tolerate/condone hunting? What is their corporate policy? Do they support PETA, ...

jlp8cornell

Well, and at obedience training, trials, etc. And maybe in his morning treat ball....

jlp8cornell

Yeah, and pricy ones at that! I save them for when he is in the show ring and bored!

jlp8cornell

Yummmm, look good enough for humans.

Max and Chloe like these. Freeze dried raw

I have heard a combo of dawn dish det, Sunny bleach (that brand specifically) and water. No idea if it works but have heard it does. Sorry I do not know proportions. Will get tomorrow morning.

jlp8cornell

Doesn't look worth a trip to the vet. Looks just like bug bites. Put some cortisone cream on them if she itches.

I would head to NC and have an orthopedic specialist do an exam. I will say, that is a long time for a partial tear to stay partial on a very active and large dog. Sounds like something else might be going on. A good ortho DVM would be helpful. Maybe see if you can get an appt with ortho and rehab/s...

jlp8cornell

Completely depends on the dogs, activity level, etc but......the longer you let it go, the greater the chance of joint damage cartilage damage, arthritis). Unless the dog is a tiny/toy couch potato, its not a matter of "will" it happen, its a matter of "when" will it happen. What's the background of...

Mine eat at 6:30am or so and then again in the evening whenever I get home. I leave at 7:00 so it gives them 1/2hr to go out in the yard. They both have water all of the time. My guess is they sleep 95% of the time I am gone.

My dogs (GSP and large Hound X) easily go for 10 hours. The Hound who is almost 13 yrs old sometimes waits to go out even though I open the door to the dog yard. Never had a problem....

jlp8cornell

Even though an acute pancreatitis is completely possible considering, I would still rule out an obstruction just to be safe. Your vet won't necessarily be able to palpate that- you need xrays and then possibly ultrasound depending on what is or is not seen. I am really surprised that the dogs hasn't...

Hi all: The Southern Tier of NY NAVHDA chapter still has openings in the Handlers Clinic we are holding June 25-26. Information can be found at the following website as well as contact info and registration form. Thanks! Jen

Around here the black flies have been terrible for the last few weeks. I would guess the scabs might be from some kind of insect.

My GSP was full height around 18m but has just filled out at 3 yrs.

and out of those which is best in your opinion? would you recommend these oils if the dogs coat is fine but as an added boost to their diet or only if its really needed?....ruth I use fish oil- not for their coats though. Coats are great w/o it. I use it bc of effects on joint health/inflammation/a...

jlp8cornell

Best advice I had gotten: 1. Keep your mouth shut as much as possible. Each time your dog blows off one of your commands, you lose cooperation points. 2. Remember the judges are there to help you and your dog do your best so ask questions. 3. Expose her to different ponds, etc. She may be fine in on...

Where in the east has this new strain been confirmed?

Cornell University- Large Animal Hospital. (Central NY)

Quarantined end of March-early April. Two cases of EHV-1 here.

jlp8cornell

In the east as well. Our large animal hospital was quarantined last month after a confirmed case.

Many dogs eat and eat and eat because they eat low quality carbo-laden food. It is the same with people, carbs cause a spike in blood sugar and then that crashes making the animal hungry again. Agreed. It's a simple physiological concept. I feed grain free. My dogs never act hungry after eating and...

Headcheese sounds pretty darn good right now. My pointer and I just love us some "meat jelly" on a rainy Monday afternoon! I take mine on crackers...he likes his straight up! Mine love to go to Grammy and Pop Pop's house for souse. Me- no way but scrapple. Yum!!!! Would love a few slices of crispy ...

I cannot give any advice regarding the tightrope procedure as I had a TPLO done on my dog. What I know is that it is a cheaper, much less invasive surgery that more veterinarians can do vs. TPLO. The biggest factor on return to function that you have control over is proper post-op rehab. Shoot me an...

Typically I believe the course of action is strict crate rest and anti-inflammatories after which it is determined what grade/how severe the the patellar luxation (knee dislocation) is. Some dogs are fine after rest and meds but others need surgery to correct the issue- depends on the grade of luxat...

jlp8cornell

The thing is still going on, she's been to the vet over and over.

Same vet?

jlp8cornell

some of those meds taste pretty darn bad. I have a bunch of pill pockets samples that I use to wrap around them. Also, in a pinch rub the pills in butter- they slip down easily. Pill him right down the side of his mouth, over his tongue. If you don't push them down far enough, it's easy to spit the ...

jlp8cornell

Insect sting. Maybe he even got one inside his mouth. Keep up regular doses of Benadryl would be my choice of action.

Ditto. Had this happen before and bc of spider bites. Benadryl: 1 mg/lb

jlp8cornell

You are welcome.

It's a pretty common injury but not always diagnosed correctly. If interested, PM me with more info.

I have taken both of my dogs to rehab specialists with very good luck. Just out of curiosity considering you say the lameness is off and on (I assume in the rear from your post), has anyone mentioned muscle strain vs. orthopedic? One very common muscle issue in performance dogs is an iliopsoas pull....

Yeah that new Back to Basics food is Pork, Pork and more Pork. Looks great but it will be expensive. Years ago (~8-10 yrs) a friend of mine was feeding Back To Basics and it was pork based. Company was out of Syracuse NY so pretty close. Food was not expensive and not much to ship either. It was th...

We started him on Doxycycline 100MG 2capsules twice a day. I have a 10 day supply. He said we could test him in 4 weeks. Does this sound like typical treatment?

We started him on Doxycycline 100MG 2capsules twice a day. I have a 10 day supply. He said we could test him in 4 weeks.
Does this sound like typical treatment?

Any dog testing positive around here goes on Doxy. It's cheap, effective and usually works.

jlp8cornell

There is no vaccination anymore. The manufacturer stopped production.

Ummmm, since when???? There is most definitely more then one manufacturer for Lymes vacs

jlp8cornell

If you cannot figure out what might be going on to make him behave this way- it is absolutely worth a trip to the vet to see if something physical is going on.

jlp8cornell

If there really is nothing changed in your/his life or environment, I would rule out a health problem with your vet.

Ditto. You haven't added a second dog right? (Roommates dog, etc)

jlp8cornell

Five bucks a day, food and walkies where I am for in/out secure run. $30 per diem and they better have room for me, too. That's insane.

You are kidding right? I have never seen boarding for less then $20-25/day. Walks included?? Yikes...where do you live?

jlp8cornell

starting in spring, I keep a bottle of saline in the car because most likely after runs, the dogs eyes are filled with grass seeds. They can lodge fairly deep in the socket so flush the eye out well.

jlp8cornell

If you are that worried that your EP will be bred by another dog, spay her. Sounds like your fence isn't tight and dogs will travel 5 miles or more to a bitch in heat. I know plenty of females that were spayed early with no consequences. If there wasn't a high chance of her being bred and producing ...

If you are going to feed beans, I would give them raw- they love them. Raw carrots always are a great treat as well. Some dogs even like celery- mine shred it to bits.

If you do give the canned beans on a regular basis, you could always wash them.
