I’m shore she will be fine but chocolate increases dogs hart beat so keep a close eye on her if she starts to show any signs call the vet right away
In the town I’m in their is no dog food at all, I would really appreciate if you can help me in what to feed them as they are to skinny, you can feel the bones on their chest. Theirs 1 local vet that I don’t really trust he has given them all vaccines, asked him concerning the weight he didn’t have anything to recomend.
1 Male German shepperd 2.5 years
1 Female German shepperd 2 years
1 Mix bred toy dog 3 years.
Thank you,
Best regards.
Dog is a 6.5 yr lab mix. Was fine yesterday. This AM she doesn’t want to walk on her back legs. Looked @everything, tried pushing spots to see if we could find problem. When we did get her to walk it looks like her back end is squatting.

Hi! I have a 10yr old female beagle mix approx 15/20lbs. Gave her 5mg prednisone while my daughter gave her clariten n didn’t tell me. Is this dangerous?
“I have a 12 older shred/lab mix I just noticed she has worms in her poop, I also have 4 other dogs I’m not sure about them. Goldie the 12 year poops on the cement that’s how I know it was her. Do I need to de-worm all my dogs or just her?”
My dog had diareah for a couple days so I boiled hamburger and rice and fed that and slowly mixed in dry dog food. It has been over 48 hours and no poop. Should I be worried and calling my vet?
My puppy is a male husky/chow mix who is 5 months old.

Anonymous we feed green beans as treats quite frequently. dogs don’t really need additional vegetables, though, and whole earth is a good food. what makes you want to supplement?

PK Dennis I use fruit for treats (no raisins!), and if I am chopping vegetables for myself I offer pieces as treats while we are in the kitchen. Other than that, I don’t routinely add fruits and vegetables to the raw diet I feed my boys. They are allowed to graze my yard and they eat dandelions (greens & flowers), some flowers (quince most often when it is in bloom), and most anything they can get in the vegetable garden including tomatoes, squash, raspberries, and blueberries.
I do add raw meat & raw bones to my foster’s diet — they get a grain-free kibble with raw meat and raw bones added to help keep teeth clean (raw bones) and add top quality protein. For example, they get their kibble and a duck wing, or an organically raised chicken wing (no hormones) or ribs/frames. Some times I add some canned Jack Mackerel to the kibble for Omegas, or a poached egg – about once per week.
As your pup gets older you can use things with larger bones (hormone free chicken legs, backs, etc.) but I would wait until he is over a year old before I start feeding these larger bones.

Erika Troncoso I researched dog foods that were available in the area I live that would be both good for my dog but without costing an arm and a leg. I came across whole earth brand when the vet I took my puppy to for his first visit recommended it. Of course as a new puppy mom I researched it like crazy before buying it for my baby http://www.dogfoodadvisor.com/dog-food-reviews/whole-earth-farms-grain-free/ this is an independent website that breaks down each and every ingredient in the dog food and gives the benefits of the good stuff and the bad stuff that is hidden in the ingredient list. I am not concerned with the type of food I am feeding him, but in my research I have seen multiple articles stating the benefits of dogs have added nutrients to their diet that they cannot get from dog food alone. We alone cannot get everything we need from eating the same meal over and over again so naturally this made sense when talking in regards to the health of my puppy. I simply wanted to know from other pet parents which fruits and vegetables they have seen that have been good to add to their dogs diet.
My Dog Is Not Doing Well And I Need…
Hello people of Pawbly, specifically friendly vets.
My dog is not doing well and I need some advice.
I just moved from a house with a doggie door that allowed for bathroom time, any time. Now I am working on a schedule and trying to get into a routine with my pup (2 y/o red heeler/terrier mix). For the most part it’s been fine. I have him in the kennel when I’m at work from 6-2 Monday through Friday and only live 5 minutes from work. I take him out right before I leave And right after. He sleeps with me at night.
Last Friday, I took him out before going to bed, waited forever but no number 2. I woke up the next morning and there was crap- a LOT of crap- more than I thought caninely possible, all over the floor of my room. Normal color, texture. I blamed myself for not waiting long enough and let it go.
So last night, same routine, didn’t crap. I ran him around for 20 minutes trying to jostle whatever loose. Nada. So I figured he could wait until morning. I was awakened at 3 am by horrible, hot steaming dog land mines all over My bedroom floor again. Same color and texture as normal.
So I out him in his crate For the rest of the night Because I think since he’s a den animal He won’t go crappin it up in there. I take him out before work And come home to a crime scene.
In his crate, he is huddled in the corner, and this wave of old sour milk or something hits me and there are puddles of yellow liquid that I’m assuming is crap since I didn’t smell bike and there are other, little piles of similarly colored solid poo elsewhere. He hadn’t eaten since the land mines the night before.
I take him outside and he pisses and squirts out a little more diarrhea and keep straining for another 2 minutes but nothing else comes out. There is a little blood now on his backside from straining so hard.
I googled it, and it said right now it’s acute, if it persists, to take him in. He seems in good spirits except was ashamed when I came in and as I was cleaning up after him. I was going to feed him but Google told me not to for the day.
I should also note: at my previous residence I lived with an elderly relative who used her early stage dementia to feed him whatever the Hell she wanted. “Oh I forgot you told me not to”- Fritos. Peanut butter sandwiches, leftover foods. And now he is only eating the expensive all natural food I give him.
So I don’t know what to do. Is it an adjustment period to the new place (only been here 2 weeks) is it the change of diet? Is it my bathroom schedule? Is it stress from being alone all day?
Any advice would be fantastic. Thanks guys and gals.
I am interested in making/baking my own dog treats. What ingredients are the best and are there some that are best to avoid? I have 3 dogs: 8 yr old Border Collie mix, 12 yr old Jack Russell, a 2 yr old German Shorthaired Lab mix.

Kaz Kallin I make my own treats all the time since I have one dog that is on a vegetarian diet. Peanut butter is a good ingredient, so are blueberries and bananas. We use oat flour in all the treats we make and substitute maple syrup for sugar.

That’s the recipe we used as a starter and have experimented since then.

Kelly Furgason Making your own treats is easy and fun! There are lots of recipes online and treat recipe books you can use too. Almost any human recipe can be modified for pets. For dogs and cats omit the sugar. They do not need it and will never know it’s missing.
You can use regular flour or omit it if your pet has an allergy. You can use oat flour, rice flour, buckwheat flour, quick cook or regular oats. Grated carrot, applesauce, peanut or nut butters, eggs are also common ingredients
Steer clear of salt, garlic, onions, chocolate
Pinterest also has lots of recipes for pets too
Have fun!!

why is my losing weight,and refusing to eat.I have been feeding her scrambled eggs and rice hamburger mix for supper.if we let her out she eats dirt.She acts like she is starving all the time,and her pooh is black.
If it was me, I’d see a vet immediately. Particularly with sudden onset like this, I’d suspect some scary cause such as neurological problem, spinal problem, infection, toxin … I wouldn’t wait.
home remedies is not the answer please rush her to the vet for a scan
