Conker - CGC, CA OBEY ME!     Barked: Sun May 5, '13 9:48pm PST  None. Not monthly anyways. I give liquid ivermectin in the summer months, 45 days apart, but only when it's consistently above 57 degrees. For fleas and ticks I do a light dusting of diatomacous earth every now and then and groomings with a metal toothed flea comb at least once a week and after every hike. I deworm twice a year and rotate between fenbendazole and pyrantel pamoate, or deworm as needed according to species. I get the diatomaceous earth from an herb shop and all the dewormers from the feedstore. I do everything myself. my posts | my page | msg me | my family's posts | gift me | become pals [notify]

Conker - CGC, CA OBEY ME!     Barked: Sat May 4, '13 2:43pm PST  Awesome! Once I'm done with these last two small bags of kibble, my mutts are going full-raw until my freezer full of free meat is gone. Unless, of course, I get another score... my posts | my page | msg me | my family's posts | gift me | become pals [notify]

Food & Nutrition > Latest news article on "quality control" for food in China...this may make you sick

Conker - CGC, CA OBEY ME!     Barked: Fri May 3, '13 8:08pm PST  I've got a simple solution to this problem: Me and mine don't eat anything that originates from China anywhere in the chain of supply. my posts | my page | msg me | my family's posts | gift me | become pals [notify]

Raw Food Diet > Partial RAW?

Conker - CGC, CA OBEY ME!     Barked: Wed May 1, '13 12:26pm PST  I crack the egg for them and smush up the shell if I give that to them. Usually not though, they normally just get the egg insides. my posts | my page | msg me | my family's posts | gift me | become pals [notify]

Raw Food Diet > Partial RAW?

Conker - CGC, CA OBEY ME!     Barked: Wed May 1, '13 11:46am PST  It depends on the individual dog. Most dogs are fine with mixing food types together. Every once in a while one pops up that can't handle it. You'll never know if you don't try. Anywho, I feed half and half all the time. One of my dogs is on full-time whole foods, but the mixes get half and half. Sometimes as separate meals but usually mixed together. Never had an issue doing it that way. I'll mix in some type of meat, mainly beef and pork (since that's what I've currently got) and sometimes I'll give them a chicken leg or chunk of turkey neck. I also give them liver fairly frequently so that everything evens out. They also get eggs, yogurt, pizza crusts, and all sorts of other leftovers. Leftovers make up about 20% of their diet. my posts | my page | msg me | my family's posts | gift me | become pals [notify]

I don't know what the drying process would do to it, but if it got warm enough they'd probably die too. Canning... If it's high pressure processed then they are probably dead. If it's cooked they are probably dead. I don't know about the enzymes though, I haven't done much research on that stuff. my posts | my page | msg me | my family's posts | gift me | become pals [notify]

Raw Food Diet > What are you all doing to actually save any money on raw? Cause it costs me more

Conker - CGC, CA OBEY ME!     Barked: Tue Apr 30, '13 1:02pm PST  I don't spent more than: $2.00lb for beef $1.70lb for pork $0.70lb for turkey $0.75lb for chicken $2.00lb for (beef) liver Other meats I rarely feed, and only if I can find for under $2.00lb. I do feed some things like eggs, canned oysters, fishes, and clams, oats, and rice, but those cost me hardly anything in the long-run. I've got a freezer full of free meat I got off craigslist. That saved me a ton of money right there. my posts | my page | msg me | my family's posts | gift me | become pals [notify]

Food & Nutrition > FreshPet.....thoughts?

Conker - CGC, CA OBEY ME!     Barked: Tue Apr 30, '13 12:52pm PST  I do not like the price, but I do like the food. Freshpet sent me some as a trial and I was satisfied with it. I find it somewhere between high-quality kibble and raw foods. my posts | my page | msg me | my family's posts | gift me | become pals [notify]

Dog Health > Need reassurance... I hope I'm not making a bad decision

Conker - CGC, CA OBEY ME!     Barked: Mon Apr 29, '13 12:00pm PST  My neutered Shiba does all the intact male behaviors, moreso than a lot of intact males I've met. He is especially bad around females in heat. He's also intolerant of strange dogs and will be a bully to timid dogs. He's come a long way since I got him, and he still needs a lot of work. He's almost 3. I think this is more of a training issue than him having balls. I walk this one dog (neutered) for a friend and he'll piss on EVERYTHING. At first it was almost impossible to go any distance since he would stop and root himself to the spot. Overtime though, I was able to train him to keep moving until we take a break, THEN he can sniff and piss all he wants until we get going again. I will never neuter a dog unless it is 100% medically necessary to save his life. But it's really up to you. If/when you get him neutered is your decision. my posts | my page | msg me | my family's posts | gift me | become pals [notify]

Conker - CGC, CA OBEY ME!     Barked: Sun Apr 28, '13 7:20pm PST  Oh man, those big name foods around here are not cheap. A 30lb bag of Beneful costs the same or more than a 40lb bag of Diamond Naturals Extreme Athlete. Now, DN isn't the best around, their track record sucks, but when it comes down to DN or Beneful or some other grocery brand, I'm going with DN. It's a lot healthier than grocery brands. Iams, Pro Plan, Science Diet, etc. are all more expensive as well. It's ridiculous. my posts | my page | msg me | my family's posts | gift me | become pals [notify]
