Murphy Dogs are angels- with fur!     Barked: Sun Apr 21, '13 1:22pm PST  Murphy was on a meal a day and was gaining weight the vet recommended going to 2 meals with the same amount of food. It's much better for their metabolism to have two just like for humans to have 3 meals a day instead of just 1 or 2. He lost weight going to two meals a day and has more energy. So I would recommend staying with two meals a day, it will not make him gain weight and will be better for him in the long run. my posts | my page | msg me | gift me | become pals [notify]

Murphy Dogs are angels- with fur!     Barked: Fri Apr 12, '13 1:10pm PST  Every dog is different, Murphy has been on K9 Advantix for 4 years now and he is doing wonderful with no problems. I changed him from Frontline Plus because he had the same reaction that you had to Advantix on Frontline Plus, plus it also became ineffective on him after being on it for 6 years which I have heard a lot of people have this same problem with Frontline. So it just depends on your dog, just like people some things work for some dogs some don't and you just have to experiment until you find the right fit. my posts | my page | msg me | gift me | become pals [notify]

Dog Health > Need advice for a limp without vocal pain

Murphy Dogs are angels- with fur!     Barked: Sat Apr 6, '13 6:58pm PST  Murphy had this same problem, limped when we walked, never complained with pain, jumped up and down from my bed and car without problems, etc. Not sure how old your dog is but Murph is 9 years old so I thought is might be arthritis and joint issues, did some research and started giving him Joint Care 2 with MSM from Dr. Foster's and Smith, it did the trick, no more limping only occasionally when it's real cold. I hope this helps my posts | my page | msg me | gift me | become pals [notify]

Dog Health > Frontline pluse

Murphy Dogs are angels- with fur!     Barked: Wed Feb 20, '13 1:54pm PST  Murphy was on Frontline plus for couple of years and then it was not effective on him plus he reacted very strangely when it was applied. I switched to K9 Advantix and have had much better results and he doesn't have any reactions like before so I'm sticking with it for now. my posts | my page | msg me | gift me | become pals [notify]

Dog Health > Arthrities pain relief

Murphy Dogs are angels- with fur!     Barked: Mon Feb 4, '13 12:00pm PST  There are lot of supplements you can give but whatever you choose make sure it has MSM, it looks tremendously with the inflammation which causes the pain. Murphy is on Glucosamine/Chron. plus MSM my posts | my page | msg me | gift me | become pals [notify]

Murphy Dogs are angels- with fur!     Barked: Wed Jan 9, '13 10:41am PST  Murphy has the same problem, black dark nails and it's hard to see the quick but because the quick is so high you can only trim a little and they also grow very fast. I would not put him under anesthesia and get them cut real short, what will that solve, they will eventually grow back and are you going to put him under anesthesia every time? And also I wouldn't think it would be very healthy to cut the quick back that much which is what would need to be done is they were cut really short. I would just keep getting them trimmed as needed even though they grown fast, which is what I do with Murphy. my posts | my page | msg me | gift me | become pals [notify]

Dog Health > if your dog is having liver problems, please do this

Murphy Dogs are angels- with fur!     Barked: Wed Jan 9, '13 10:30am PST  Denamarin works wonders also if your dog has high liver enzymes, Murphy's numbers were cut in half after being on it for 3 mos. It is not a drug but a supplement so you don't have to worry about drug side effects. my posts | my page | msg me | gift me | become pals [notify]

Dog Health > Frontline Ineffective?

Murphy Dogs are angels- with fur!     Barked: Tue Dec 4, '12 9:54am PST  Murphy was on Frontline Plus quite awhile and then it became ineffective on him, plus he hated having it put on, had a nervous effect on him. I changed to K9 Advantix and it works great, no side effects and is very effective. From what I have heard a lot of people have had problems with Frontline. my posts | my page | msg me | gift me | become pals [notify]

Dog Health > Dog Aspirin

Murphy Dogs are angels- with fur!     Barked: Tue Nov 27, '12 1:01pm PST  I have him on supplements already but the aspirin is just when he has bad days, so far I have only given it to him twice in two weeks so I am not concerned about stomach ulcers or side effects. Plus I did talk to the Vet and they said there should be no issue if I follow the dosage which is no more than one a day which I don't plan on giving him that much. my posts | my page | msg me | gift me | become pals [notify]

Murphy Dogs are angels- with fur!     Barked: Fri Nov 2, '12 2:16pm PST  Has anyone every used dog aspirin and if so has it helped with light arthritis? I bought some for Murphy from Dr. Foster's and Smith and just wondering if it will help. He gets stiff and limps especially in the morning or when we take longer walks. my posts | my page | msg me | gift me | become pals [notify]
