Chewing kibble
Published (2009-12-15 11:28:00)
kpwlee: dogs don't need to chew kibble - just thought I'd mention that - in fact they don't have the chewing mechanism that we do. You know what funny about that????????? The fact that so many people,,,including vets, say kibble helps their teeth. I know they just use their teeth to break things down small enough to get down their throat, but I do think that if they do eat too fast..... and gulp...

Crock Pot Chicken??

I've added rice, before. I dumped it in towards the end, to thicken things up. I have no idea about the timing.

dogs don't need to chew kibble - just thought I'd mention that - in fact they don't have the chewing mechanism that we do. That said Bugsy can hoover and sometimes he crunches - no other dogs present. As a puppy he ate in a millisecond, I tried obstacles, baking pans, ice cubes nothing slowed him down He is better now but still has his moments (a few weeks ago he ate an entire FROZEN lamb shank in...

Dehydrating Liver
Published (2009-12-17 23:48:00)
Last time, I think that it took around 3-3.5 hours. I'm pretty sure that I could have done it quicker if I had cut the liver thinner. I've used both chicken & beef, but I prefer beef. It is, imo, much easier to handle than chicken livers are. The smell wasn't horrible. I'm not sure that the neighbors would really notice that it was dehydrating outside. If...

Dehydrating Liver
Published (2009-12-17 19:21:00)
Yep...the good ole Wallmart brand dehydrator. I picked mine up at Canadian Tire but I'ld imagine it's the same deal. What an awesome purchase though! I was just saying the other day that I should try the liver and just put it outside. It's almost -20 here with the windchill so I don't know how good this would work. I'll let you all know when I do finally get around to making it.

Crock Pot Chicken??
Published (2009-12-17 09:18:00)
Nope, it's great, some even use it for natural flea and tick control. It is in the Alium family, related to onions, but onions are toxic to dogs ... garlic is ok. If you are unsure, always run these things by your vet before using them, never take our word for it on the internet :)!

Itchy skin...help!
Published (2009-12-10 12:18:00)
He doesn't really "shed" - his hair is the type that kind of clumps and I just pull it out. I do brush him though. I switched to Nature's Choice Venison and RIce - no grains in it. I will know in a month if I see a differnce!

madmadge: Today she has eaten some boiled chicken and rice (hooray!). Just wondering, why does she not eat kibble or do you homecook? Inadvertently you may be causing her pickiness by catering to her.

Dehydrating Liver
Published (2009-12-17 23:40:00)
BEVOLASVEGAS: put it in the dehydrator out on our back porch & call it good! That is a WONDERFUL idea - I live in an apartment, do you think my neighbors would mind??? About how long does it take in the dehydrator??? Do you do chicken or beef liver??? Or both?

Careful with the poultry seasonings, make sure there is no onion powder in there. That's toxic to dogs.I tend to have to add water throughout. You want the veggies very mushy ... dogs can't break down the cell walls otherwise and get no benefit from they (go right through :)). So either add at the beginning or puree and add near the end. I use a combo of whatever veggies i hav on hand, like ...

I haven't tried this yet, mainly because I heard that it stinks up the house for days and I don't know that I could stomach smelling liver in my house for days, but I know the girls would love it!

This JUST started? LOL Ena Bean has been a hoover from the get go, and all of my dogs are. Do you feed them together? Is she able to steal? I'd stop that, right now. No competition, dogs are fed seperately. That will help, a little bit, and prevent any resource guarding. I float their food in warm water. It keeps them from choking on the kibbles. Either that, or I feed them from my hand for...

That's great news! I'm glad your bichon girls are doing well, especially with the yeast and tear stains---yuck!! I know how hard it is to battle stuff like that.

Instead of treats, take some kibble with you for recall work and such. I agree with everyone, tough love. The other thing, with a small dog, Gemma may have reached a point where she doesn't need as many calories a day, and has begun to self regulate herself. At 10 months, she's likely close to full grown no? With big dogs its later, so I'm not sure. But at one point, Crusher cut himself ...

Mine eat knuckle bones. They are the end part of the weight baring bone (the part that you normally get), and do contain marrow, on the inside. The outside is mostly tendons with a bit of meat. They are much, much softer than the hard, straight, marrow bones.

As long as your dog isn't a " gobbler" as in tries to see how fast he/she can eat the bones; any bone is fine. The most commonly occurring bones that I feed would be chicken backs and pork/beef ribs. I personally prefer feeding bones such as ribs because you know he is actually eating and gaining the nutrition rather than just chewing. However that is just my opinion. And I am quite sure any ...

dyan: Once he is done chewing a fresh one...it sits...he almost never goes back to it for more than a couple of minutes on it.
I'm finding that too. She's licked it a few times and carried it to another area of the room. But, she hasn't chewed it at all.
This bone was never frozen. So, is it OK for me to put yogurt in it and freeze it? I froze the other 2 so I'm assuming ...

I hope it works for him! Sometimes... chemicals are a necessary evil. Fleas can cause anemia and tapes. While ticks can cause much more debilitating diseases - like lymes. The hebals do not work for every dog, just like the frontline and adv do not work for every dog. Keep us posted!
