Pookie plush destroyer     Barked: Thu Jan 3, '13 10:11pm PST  Although odds are your dog is well protected against rabies from the last vaccine, I'm pretty sure it's legally required to have it every 3 years in Texas. If your dog were to ever bite somebody you would be in trouble. I wouldn't risk it. Quite frankly, the odds of your dog having a reaction to the vaccine are very slim. I think most "vaccine danger" stuff is blown up way out of proportion. my posts | my page | msg me | my family's posts | gift me | become pals [notify]

Dog Health > Comfortis fleat treatment - AWFUL side effects !

Pookie plush destroyer     Barked: Thu Dec 20, '12 7:06pm PST  Comfortis is the only thing that worked for my dog. No side effects. my posts | my page | msg me | my family's posts | gift me | become pals [notify]

Dog Health > Advise needed on front dew claws

Pookie plush destroyer     Barked: Thu Dec 20, '12 6:58pm PST  It doesn't sound like the dewclaws are attached. I would get them removed, especially since it's causing issues. Dewclaws that are not attached are fairly simple to remove and recovery will be quick. my posts | my page | msg me | my family's posts | gift me | become pals [notify]

Dog Health > Some People.. Ugh.

Pookie plush destroyer     Barked: Tue Dec 18, '12 8:21pm PST  Have your friend take the dog to another vet? my posts | my page | msg me | my family's posts | gift me | become pals [notify]

Pookie plush destroyer     Barked: Tue Dec 18, '12 7:30pm PST  Your dog is not "malicious". That's anthropomorphizing your dog. If he shuts down that badly with "discipline" then it's time to look for other methods. I think it's important to make sure you do not set up your dog to fail. If something goes wrong, then that's usually because somewhere you goofed up. Pottied in the house? Should have been crated or watched. Destroyed something? Should have been crated or watched. For now treat this dog like a puppy. Anytime you cannot, for whatever reason, actively watch your dog (watching TV in the same room is not actively watching) either crate your dog or tether him to you with a leash. Always reward, reward, reward good behavior with treats, praise, toys, whatever works best for your dog. Build your dog's confidence and your relationship. Consistency is key to solving anything! my posts | my page | msg me | my family's posts | gift me | become pals [notify]

Raw Food Diet > Starting raw, afraid of bone hazards

Pookie plush destroyer     Barked: Tue Dec 18, '12 3:26pm PST  The only reason to be afraid of bones is if they are cooked in any way. As long as they are raw, edible bones you have nothing to fear. I never, ever see bony bits in my dogs stools which tells me the stomach is doing it's job breaking everything down. my posts | my page | msg me | my family's posts | gift me | become pals [notify]

Small Dogs > Good treats for training for small dogs?

Pookie plush destroyer     Barked: Tue Dec 18, '12 3:08pm PST  I like to buy the food rolls at Petsmart because they are easy to cut into small pieces.. Not the Natural Balance rolls - they have sugar. Not the refrigerated ones, they're too moist. I forgot what it's called... You can also cut Zuke's Mini's into small pieces. my posts | my page | msg me | my family's posts | gift me | become pals [notify]

Dog Health > DAPP Vaccination?

Pookie plush destroyer     Barked: Tue Dec 18, '12 3:00pm PST  Wow, this forum has really changed. ALL healthy dogs should get at least one DAPP vaccination (series if a puppy) in it's lifetime. Not vaccinating is as foolish as over vaccinating. Distemper and parvo are NOT something to mess with and can be life-threatening. I see puppies come in on a weekly basis with parvo and get put down or go home with a $2000 bill because their owner didn't vaccinate them or bought vaccines from the feed store. Do not trust a feed store to properly store vaccines; this is your dog's life in your hands. One DAPP vaccination is sufficient for lifetime immunity. The lepto vaccine is something only you can decide on. How prevalent is lepto in your area? Do you have a lot of wildlife where you live? Do you go hiking/camping with your dog frequently? These are all things to consider. The lepto vaccine can cause serious side effects, but if your dog gets lepto that can be life-threatening. You must weigh the pros and cons, factoring in your lifestyle and area. my posts | my page | msg me | my family's posts | gift me | become pals [notify]
