Ok, I don't have all the information, or the time this morning to do all the research, but I will tell you what I do know. Rollover brand (now this is where I am confused) pigs ears, and I think maybe pork treats (these might just be the same thing), have caused cases in Canada of salmonella, almost killin...

So, my question is, which flea treatment have you all found to work well, even with a couple or so b...

Under Bite?
(Preview)
Seems Cee has an underbite, ( Where the bottom teeth rest in front of the top teeth when mouth is closed) I thought her mouth looked funny or different rather, and since she is going to be spayed, passing the trait on is not a problem, but are there going to be other health related problems to this? Sh...

I put her and Abby back on the Eukanuba Puppy chow as Abby was loosing also on the beneful several weeks ago. Roxie stil...

Losing Weight!
(Preview)
I just don't understand this! Corona lost a lot of weight about 3-4 weeks ago, but I attributed it to her being in heat. She was down to less than 3lbs (normally is 3.5lbs+) when she went and stayed with a friend of mine for two weeks. When she came back, she looked a LOT better and was back up to a good weight...

Bijou's baby teeth :(

Ok, so those of you who remember, i was asking about retained baby teeth. I ended up having CJ's pulled a couple of weeks ago - he had retained 3 of his canines and i didn't want it to throw his bite off.

Just wondering... what is the general rule for determining if your chi is under/overweight? I know with the horses there was this whole point/scale system and I'd assume it's similar for the dogs but... I think Corona looks good, but she's pretty boney feeling when I pick her up, lol.
