iv just been to town and found some intresting stuff my question is can fox eat them ?? iv got big fat pig tails and some tripe !!!! im sure my ferrets will if she cant so nothing will go to waste lol

We soak the buiscuits in warm water and add some wet food with it. Then after we give him some puppy milk. Is this alright?

Just on the both nights he was sick although i put this down to him yelping alot.

Although now he has just been sick again...

He did have his first vaccination yesterday..could it be this? Or just over-excitement?

His poo's seem fine, good consistancy.

Any help would be appreaciated, thanks guys! :)

Thanks

I know that certain fruits are not safe for dogs i.e. grapes for example. She picks the blackberries off the plant while we are out walking. I suspect they quench her thirst, but she does seem to enjoy them and will happily sit and beg for one.

I make sure she doesn't have more than 2 or 3 as I don't want her to upset her stomach. Then again she seems to have the consitution of a horse!!

Does anyone elses jrt do the same??

untill now fox has been having mince and chicken wings so i was scared to death but she loved them !!! i gave her the smallest of them and 20 min later there was nothing left but a very happy puppy !!!!! i cant beleve how quick she got it all down and with no bother my biggest knife couldnt cut it..

im so pleased she liked it and just had to share the news

I have given links to this site and the Dog Trust YouTube training videos but seems quite hyperactive and I suggested changing food as currently on Bakers. I explained about additives and said JWB is well thought of by those on Forum but it is quite an expensive option - are there any other good kibbles which cost a bit less? (I havent actually compared the prices of JWB with Bakers - must do so next time I go to the petshop) Anything that worked out as a few pence per 7kg bag would be a good incentive to change.

His mum will help with cost if we cant find a good alternative to JWB but thought it worth asking the question

Many thanks

How much should my Archie weigh? He is now 5 years old.

His weight has increased a lot since i first took him in. As a puppy he was mistreated and as a result was very underweight when i rescued him. The vets look at the increase over the last couple of years and see that it has been quite an increase from 2006 to today. However, this increase has been fairly gradual and he is now looking healthy.

To me, and to people who know Archie, he does not look over weight. He still has his 'curves' and his stomach area is still shaped as it should be.

I feed Archie a raw food diet which has had a noticable effect on his over-excited behaviour. He still has his loving and fun character but has calmed slightly. The vet believes this to be the cause of his weight increase. I do not want to stop the raw food diet but am thinking maybe i should reduce his meal sizes? Archie does not like tinned food anyway and turns his nose up at it!

What would be the recommended meal size for a dog of this size?

Any advice would be appreciated! x

Getting my puppy soon and am trying to make a decsion on whether to feed dry or wet and what brand. I will of course keep him on what the breeder will be feeding for the 1st couple of weeks and slowly switch over.I was looking into wainwrights from Pets at home but have no real experince with choosing a good puppy/dog food.

What has your experince been?

Thanks

They seem to love it - what's your opinion on feeding dogs fish?

I started Toby off on Waggs when we first had him (it was the cheapest at the time) and then moved him onto James Wellbeloved Dried kibble (after reading some horror stories lol), he's had the lamb flavour and the turkey flavour (might get him the fish one next time).

I've never really thought about feeding him tinned food, but has it got lots of meat/nutrients in it? It always looks full of meaty goodness, like that ceaser dog food advert has loads of chunks of meat. I always look at his dog food and think christ that looks bland lol which probably explains why he just pecks at it. He only eats half a cup morning and half a cup evening (smalll cups) I'd like to mix it up a bit with other stuff (I've tried the waggs gravy which he likes a lot, but don't want to make it a habit of him having it as it does contain low amounts of salt) but don't know what things would be good, so I'm just seeing what everyone else feeds theirs.. Raw meat? veg? Tinned? biscuits? kibble?

Thanks!

So any others?

and as posted previously he has been on / off food for a while - however this has improved slightly but still a struggle, we were feeding him pedigree pouches that he liked but then went off, so we gradually changed to the tin veriety we always have the puppy complete dry food aswell, that he likes

it seems that he really doesn't like wet / tinned food at all and so we decided that when it runs out we will change it

theres only a few tins left and we have been gradually introducing new things

he prefurs dry food - but if i put it in his bowl as a meal, he isn't interested, however if i put them in his treat ball he will eat them? also he will eat them from my hand (if fed 1 by 1) or he likes to work for them ie - if i say wait/leave - go on then etc he will wolf them down i have tried all the 10/20 min rule of taking food up etc however he isn't bothered

i have even got down on all fours & pretended to eat from his bowl!!! (that stays between us) lol then he will usually wolf it down?

so i have been thinking how i would like to start making his food, something that i can feed along with the dry, not so much the barf diet - but he has started having a raw chicken wing a couple of times a week - that is smashed up a bit 1st & held while he chews (ewww not nice being a vegetarian) lol but he loves them!

also i have put a bit of mince peas water brown pasta & herbs in the oven (covered) drained & then given when cooled with a few crunchies - that he seems to like - ive also made him meatballs with brown rice inside for treats that he kinda liked

but is this enough for him? if so how much do i need to giving him? & how often should i cook mince or give raw additional to the dry food - we have been introducing wagg & he seems to like it? i thought it might be better than pedigree?

i have read older posts but there wasn't much there to answer my q's

ive been told that if you feed raw meat to dogs then they must be wormed more regular? & that a sprinkle of garlic granuals now & then is a natural wormer? (havn't tried this as ive also heard thats toxic?) ther seems to be so much contradiction on what they can/can't eat - so advice on that would be appreciated i grow my own herbs but keep dried too are there any they can't have?

i really want to get rid of the tins & give him something better - i know that dry food has all the essentials but it's just boring! along with any feeding tips!! as we are obviously doing something wrong : (

advice / critisizem / and recepies welcome : )

So, for future reference, what can i give him on top of his junior food, that will give him extra fibre? is just bread ok or should i be looking at something else? or should we risk changing his food again?

Sorry to sound totally clueless, this is my first dog ever and i dont know these things!

can anyone advise? thanks Emma
