Could also be that he’s a blowhard who attaches himself to anything, anywhere in the world that supports whatever he feels like saying.

It's really not that hard to source and feed those things. I do it every day.

The truth is, though, animals don't eat every single part of their of their prey at each sitting so even the most...

Wendy, I have to ask... Where do you get your info on feeding raw? As I seem to recall, you just slap some high priced commercial raw on top of kibble. That is not "feeding a raw diet" and I wish...

Cliff note version of feeding raw...

Everything is based off the 80% meat/10% bone/5% liver and 5% secreting organ (kidney, gall, spleen) rule. You can do that every day or over the course of a...

There is plenty of data about what meats are high/low in calories and the nutritional content of organs, before cooking. The bone ratio of common prey is pretty standard at 10%. If you can read a...

All studies of animal nutrition are based on the raw diet that animals thrived on for thousands of years. Commercial foods were created as a convenience and because domesticated animals weren't...

I think, but I'm not positive, that salmonella contamination isn't usually from the kibble itself but the spray on flavor they add after the fact. Makes sense to me because you almost never hear of...

I've heard the different digestion rates, too, and tend to believe it. I've never heard of a problem with doing all kibble for one meal and all raw for another, though. Eight+ hours apart seems to...

Replace corn (or whatever) with Cheetos and chocolate and now we're talking about my kids. Do they get to eat those things? Yes. Do I throw up my arms and say because they like them, I should base...

Sorry, that part was a little confusing. The store, not Primal or Bravo, is going to give me the food. I only mentioned those brands because they have a one year expiration date and a policy for...

Chantilly is very doable.

My husband is not up for this yet and, honestly, he only wants to be emergency back-up to let her out and back in right now. No brainer.

My oldest daughter is very...

Oh no. I'm so sorry. :(

Exactly. Given a chance, they're going to chase cute little bunnies out of the yard no matter how much you train them not to in your presence.

They probably have no idea a newborn is a human and...

Really? You don't see how a tiny, loud, funny smelling thing that probably very suddenly changed a dogs entire routine could be upsetting?

I've never had a dog that I thought would harm anything,...

I will admit to being someone that let the ignorance turn into fear. My limited experience with any bully breeds was always positive but I was used to dogs that were the exception to the rule...

I had a dog that didn't eat for 17 days (still a record at that office almost 20 years later) and didn't poop because of it. It took his gut a long time to normalize after that. Sudden lack of...

I'm in Reston.

My husband doesn't get home at night until after 7:00 so P'ville is out for him on week nights. It might be doable with the kids, though. Hmm...

By accident and what could have been a very bad situation, we had somewhat of a break through yesterday.

I was taking Martha out to the van when a neighbor's husky mix (that you only see when he...

Would you feed "expired" commercial ground?

Ayrshire Farm supplies a local pet supply chain and labels their stuff for 3 months out and then it's thrown away. Bravo and Primal are sent back but...

I have 3 kids with their first dog, although learning quickly, and a husband who don't get it at all in NoVa. The dog is perfect for me and hasn't taken advantage of them, yet, but it's 4 against 1...

I wouldn't have left my daughter alone with my 12.5 year old, arthritic, slept 20 hours a day, never showed a hint of aggression, Basset Hound for one second when I brought her home from the...

I haven't seen anyone say "Don't believe the hype. Run out and get a Pitbull!". There have been plenty of informative posts here about what you need to be aware of.

I have a dog with mild dog...

I adopted a PB mix six months ago and we are totally in love with her. She is also Basset and maybe JRT, though. Loves everyone she meets, fantastic with my kids and lets the cats rule. She is...

I'm all about trying again when and if the stars align. :D The weather has turned back to cool so we're getting a break from dogs all over the place, for now.

If you are still interested lovey,...

My mother shows (or did) and knows a lot of the top people in her breed and many similar to it. Her vet bred and co-owns a dog that I've seen mentioned here recently for being pretty special. ;) No...
