    Thank you for the links, Sandy!

    I was a “late bloomer” in researching vaccinations. My older dog, who will be 7 next month, got titered for the first time 3.5yrs ago. The holistic vet has opted to NOT re-titer him, saying his levels are just fine.
    My younger girl is 2.5yrs old. She came to me at almost 5mos of age…..she had had two or three sets of puppy shots by then. That was all she got, she was titered the first time a little over a year ago. She just went to the vets last week and like my older one, she opted to NOT re-titer him.
    There is a chance that we may be getting a third dog, a puppy. I will have to call the vet to ask when she wants to do the first titers.
    My dogs get rabies every 3yrs, which is law here.

    I’ve tried coconut milk before, didn’t really like it, maybe I’ll give the water a shot!

    Mike: Yep, I understand that as well. First time I called, he was kind of huffy, explaining why they ran out (daily special). What does that have to do with emailing the customer and telling them it’s on backorder? Second time I called, I wanted to cancel but he talked me into waiting, going on about the great deal.

    Oohh Mike!
    Let me tell you my Doggie food.com story. On November 27th, I ordered eleven 4 pound bags of Nutrisca, which was their special of the day. On December 1st, I get an email saying it’s been shipped, with a link to check the status, which says it’s arriving December 5th. It doesn’t arrive so on the 6th, I call. They tell me they “ran out” of the food because it was a special but two loads were due. Nothing showed up, then they tell me the following Friday. That was last Friday, I get no email saying it’s been shipped so I called last Saturday and they say it didn’t arrive. I cancelled the order and don’t think I’ll be dealing with them again.

    I would really get him off the Royal Canin and no Science Diet. Your dog will thank you for it

    Eles, what food are you currently using? A grain and potato food would be a good place to start. If you look under the dog food ingredients forum, I have a stickie there with a list of foods

    Eles7: Brothers is a very good food. Read the reviews from actual Brothers customers on the dogfoodadvisor. There are many dogs who are doing exceptional on the food, one of my dogs included.

    Eles: It’s a shame I feel this way but I don’t listen to my vets when it comes to nutrition, except my holistic vet. I wouldn’t use Science Diet or Royal Canin, there are so many good foods out there!

    I agree with HDM about spacing. My holistic vet, who we saw yesterday with Ginger, tells us to give it every 42-45 days, May thru October

    Hi Honeybee, no, I’ve never heard of her but i will look, thank you. Valerie, I didn’t realize Thailand had such strict standards, that’s good to know.
    Labs, no Costco around here do it’s not even an option.
    I was at a pet store I like and got a case of Wellness 95% salmon, 30% off. Pretty good deal.

    The only thing I don’t like about Weruva is that it’s made in Taiwan (I think that’s where I read). I’d prefer USA made

    Dowsky: awhile back, Evangers got caught: in some of their canned food, the protein listed on the label wasn’t in the can. So, it’s not a product i’m comfortable feeding. I may try the Merrick though, thanks!

    My dogs get puppy shots then get titered; we do rabies every 3yrs. Heartworm prevention is something I won’t take a chance on. Honeybeesmom, you know you have to have them tested for heartworm before putting them back on prevention, right?

    I think it’s a good idea if only so you know what proteins your dog can eat without a problem. We never know when our usual dog food can’t be found.

    Well, I could refuse the order but I’d have to be home and they will have already charged my card. If I have no email telling me it’s shipped by Monday, I’m going to just cancel it.

    HDM: it’ll be awhile. Two weeks ago, I ordered a bunch of Nutrisca (4lb bags) from Doggiefood.com; still waiting for it to arrive. I called today to cancel the order but they said it is due in on Friday. If I don’t have an email by Monday, telling me it’s been shipped, I am going to call and cancel.
    Whenever I do put her on the Pursuit, I will let you know

    We scoop in the kennel & yard with a spoon and put it into a grocery store plastic bag. During the cold weather, we leave a bag out for a day but in hot weather, right into the trash can it goes. When we walk, it goes in a poop bag that we buy, with handles. It goes home into the trash.

    I do not yet have experience in this but take a look at Dr. Tim’s food. He (Dr Tim) actually called me on the phone today! I will be picking up some of his Pursuit. It’s rated very well here on the DFA. Look at PetFlow.com and Chewy.com to buy, unless you have a place close enough to you.

    I’ve never had a problem with a dog trying to pull the tree down, only a kid (we put it in the playpen one year). We do have to make sure there are no wooden ornaments within reach or Boone finds a new chew toy:)

    I have three trees. One in the breezeway and a small one on the dining room table (not decorated, only lit) and one in the living room. We have three mostly to piss off the neighbors, truth be told.

    I tried a few from Merrick but one of mine was very possessive of it so we didn’t fee them again.
