Chloe 1240743     Barked: Thu May 23, '13 8:08am PST  My dachshund is 1 year and a few months old and I recently got a postcard from my vet requesting that she come in for a DHPP booster, yearly exam etc... I did not do a Lepto vaccine because dachshunds tend to have issues with that. Also skipped Coronavirus and Bordatella. Rabies is required by law. I skipped the lyme vaccine because it's questionable how effective it is and she's not outside a ton. How necessary is this DHPP booster at a year and every 1-2 years after that? What do you have your pet vaccinated for and what do you skip? my posts | my page | msg me | my family's posts | gift me | become pals [notify]

Chloe 1240743     Barked: Sun May 12, '13 4:52pm PST  I'm trying to decide whether or not to continue giving my dogs heartguard. From what i understand preventatives like heartguard and interceptor are not really preventatives. Basically you are dosing your dog with poison every month and if your dog does have heartworm the preventative kills it. But since heartworm is a serious disease if you are not using a preventative what else can you do? A yearly test? Once your dog gets heartworm is it treatable? What if you test your dog, the test comes back negative and then your dog is infected for a year...then is it treatable? my posts | my page | msg me | my family's posts | gift me | become pals [notify]

Raw Food Diet > How do I use nutritiondata and usda

Chloe 1240743     Barked: Sun Feb 10, '13 7:10am PST  I've seen people say that they use nutritiondata.com to calculate if their dog is getting everything that they need. I would assume the site is for people and would be basing it on cooked food vs raw. Can someone walk me through how to use this site? Also I've looked at the usda database for bone percentages in certain cuts of meat and I don't see bone listed. (http://ndb.nal.usda.gov/) For example if I look up cornish hen, it just says cornish hen meat and skin raw. my posts | my page | msg me | my family's posts | gift me | become pals [notify]

Raw Food Diet > ? About kibble to raw

Chloe 1240743     Barked: Sat Jan 26, '13 10:10am PST  I am no expert but from what I have seen people that feed half kibble and half raw do so in different meals. So they would feed kibble in the morning and raw at night. my posts | my page | msg me | my family's posts | gift me | become pals [notify]

Raw Food Diet > Is this diet balanced?

Chloe 1240743     Barked: Fri Jan 25, '13 7:40pm PST  OK so I'm trying to figure this out. If one dog needs 11.2 oz of bone per week and a chicken is 30% bone. Say the chicken is 5 lbs, I would only need to buy 2 chickens as RMBs for the month? That doesn't sound right. I'm not sure how I would cut up the chicken to make big enough pieces so they don't gulp them down and yet make up enough bony meals for the week so that they don't have cannon butt. Do you feed once a day? How many RMB meals do you feed per week? my posts | my page | msg me | my family's posts | gift me | become pals [notify]

Chloe 1240743     Barked: Fri Jan 25, '13 4:49pm PST  I don't know how accurate this is but according to a post on preymodelraw.com 28 cu. ft. of freezer space for ~500 lbs. of meat 14 cu. ft. of freezer space for ~250 lbs. of meat 7 c u. ft. of freezer space for ~125 lbs. of meat my posts | my page | msg me | my family's posts | gift me | become pals [notify]

Raw Food Diet > Is this diet balanced?

Chloe 1240743     Barked: Sat Jan 19, '13 5:03pm PST  Thanks so much. I'm thinking I might actually be able to figure this out where before it seemed really overwhelming. I might buy a freezer off of craigslist so I can prepare a month at a time. I also have three dogs to feed so I need more space. I'm trying to follow the rule of keeping everything I buy under $2/lb. Some things will be less, so I suppose spending a bit more on others would even out. What types of cuts as far as lamb and pork are OK to feed? Are you actually able to find these at a reasonable price? I thought that beef bones are not edible and break teeth? Beef ribs and oxtail are OK to feed? my posts | my page | msg me | my family's posts | gift me | become pals [notify]

Raw Food Diet > Is this diet balanced?

Chloe 1240743     Barked: Fri Jan 18, '13 5:45pm PST  I'm trying to create a meal plan because preparing on a daily basis is just too much work. If I were to feed chicken RMBs like leg quarters and split breasts with boneless beef, maybe heart, tripe and pork. And beef liver and kidney and maybe pork liver plus a fish oil supplement. Is this a balanced enough diet that I could feed for awhile even for the life of a dog? my posts | my page | msg me | my family's posts | gift me | become pals [notify]

Raw Food Diet > Supplementation - What's Necessary

Chloe 1240743     Barked: Sat Jan 12, '13 6:42pm PST  Hadley: what website? I'd be curious to input what I'm feeding and see if anything is missing. I'm currently only supplementing with fish oil and some glucosamine/chondroitin for my older gentleman. my posts | my page | msg me | my family's posts | gift me | become pals [notify]

Chloe 1240743     Barked: Fri Jan 11, '13 8:24am PST  Jewel, what sort of RMB's do you give your small one? my posts | my page | msg me | my family's posts | gift me | become pals [notify]
