He's all mini dachshund long hair, color is called "merle" or "black and tan double dapple". His parents were dachshund show winners. Back in the day he was 12# of fury, but these days he mostly just wants to chill someplace comfy.

I have a problem with my pup. Thought she's not really a pup any more going on 15 months.
However, i have used various flea/tick preventives on her and with all she reacts very badly.
She didn't have seizures, thank God, but she did become extremely anxious, pacing, really weird.
I did speak to vet who gave me yet another brand (these are all the ones that apply on the back), which was no better. I compared different brands through Pet Express. Though I really need your experience.


Look at Revolution, never had any side affects with our dogs

Eric, sorry for your loss.

Jeff Alton 01-03-2020 11:19 PM

Eric, $hit! Sorry for your loss. What a beautiful animal/partner/friend. Very sorry for your loss. Dread the day when we need to say good bye to our two boxers. It sucked when we had to do it with out 2 labs.... Dread the day...

Remember all of the good times and how much joy you brought to each other.

Cheers

She was a good looking girl, Eric. I am very sorry to hear of your loss.

How old was she?

My pup hangs out wif a couple of ol' fleabag puppies...so she gets 'em. Never been a fan of the stuff you apply, collars, etc. Vet uses/prescribes Bravecto (Fluralaner), fleas gone in just one day....lasts 3 months, no side effects for my Lab.

:(

I will give my two girls a lot of extra hugs today for your girl, Eric.

I'm so sorry......she was beautiful and she had a great life. You will see her again.....

Eric at Pelican Parts 01-06-2020 09:48 AM

Thanks for the kind words guys and gals. She was 13, but still had plenty of life in her left, if it wasn't for cancer. She had bone cancer and had to get one of her hind legs amputated to save her. In one of the last chemo treatments they discovered a polyp in her rectal lining, but it turned out to be something else that went into deep tissue. A different kind of cancer appeared a few months later, but cancer nevertheless. It wasn't advised to put her under chemo again, and her crying in pain from pooping seemed like it was time. We had a gathering on Friday with her friends one last time... it seemed like she knew. She got lots of treats and all the pets and belly rubs she could want before having to cross the bridge ahead of us.

So,so sorry.

Dog Food
 
Hello Everyone,

What kind of dog food do you guys recommend?
We are currently giving our Beagle Nutro Grain Free food but now we're hearing that grain free can lead to heart problems.

Our vet say to use Purina, the stuff that you can buy at any grocery store.

What say you?

Thanks.
Larry

asphaltgambler 01-06-2020 01:21 PM

My Vet and I are good friends - he states that Purina spends more money in R&D for the health and betterment of the animals than all the others combined. Also that some of the boutique brands spend a larger parts of their budget on just marketing.

Specifically Pro-plan / Purina is what's recommended.

Nutro is good stuff! I get mine delivered here straight from Chewy.

Note the "Senior" tag - because my 2 girls are 14 - and seniors.

They are very healthy and are not on any meds (knock on wood) and I attribute much of their health to this product.

The older one has had some mobility issues in the past and other things but all good now.

I fed my last Lab nothing but Pro-Plan for over 14 years (as that's what the breeder used)...good stuff. I did a bit more research when acquiring my current 10 mo old Lab, and she's fed Authority Puppy Large Breed. Asked my vet what he feeds his own dawgs....the same. He said it's really Pro-Plan (with mebbe a few extra ingredients I think)....and not terribly overpriced like some.

Got my current pup from one of the top breeders in the US...he used regular Purina from the grocery store and has a legacy of champion dogs.

Grain Free
 
Well, since you asked...

These came highly recommended by our holistic veterinarian (as well as extensive research by Mrs. OnZedge):

Weruva "Dogs in the Kitchen" canned dog food varieties.
http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1578352307.jpg

Honest Kitchen "Grain Free" freeze-dried (bulk pack).
http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1578352329.jpg

Primal raw frozen formula. We get the starter variety packs because Ricky and Lucie are only ~10 lbs each, and we thaw as needed for each meal.
http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1578352658.jpg

You can get all of these at Hollywood Feed.

The DOG thread
 
This little fella just joined our household. I’ve dog allergies including asthma but the benefit to my kids is worth the suffering. He’ll be a bird dog when he gets older. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...2263978b9.jpeghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...6dd2c548e7.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...098d9296c8.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...6e3a4e32ce.jpg
