Am I the only person feeding tinned food? I feel like a Bad Mummy!
Sandy used to get Co op Complete (3 varieties, so it stopped him getting bored). Then he decided he'd had enough of that, so I started buying him Autarky. That was fine until Sherry arrived, accompanied by yummy tin...

You will all be fed up hearing that Cara doesn't eat, but if anyone has ideas re. meals for fussy dogs, I'd love to hear them. Milky things make her sick, but cheese is fine. Raw mince and lamb is good but she won't touch raw chicken. Sardines/mackerel are ok, and, providing they are well mashed up and mixe...

My dog thinks he's a rabbit!

Freddy is eating loads of grass at the moment. He's fighting with the rabbit for the tasty, green leaves in his run! Why do dogs do this?! If he's doing it a lot more than normal, is it something I should be concerned about?

Cheap chews

We found out from my uncle a way to save money on chews. Buy one of the really big rawhide chews from pets @ home or similar, they cost about 3 or 4 pounds, and boil it in a pan (we added a beef stock cube for flavour). Once its totally soft, seperate the different layers and cut into smaller pieces. Let them dr...

Query about protein levels

What percentage of protein should a greyhound's food contain? I understand that too high a level can make them a bit hyper. We're looking to change Harry and Pearly's food but don't want to overload them on protein.

Nothing has changed in our home setting to make her "wary" about her food - I think she's just a pig! Anyone any suggestions for getting her to slow dow...

COD LIVER OIL

Hello. Does anyone give their greyhounds cod liver oil capsules/liquid?
I have been told that it's good for their joints?.....
If so, how do you give it to your dogs, how often and should it be given to dogs of all ages or just the older ones?
Thanks in advance

Feeding raw bones
(Preview)
I know of a fair few people that feed their dogs on a BARF diet (ie, bones and raw foods) and, whilst I'm not planning on feeding Harry and Pearly this way, they really enjoy the odd meaty marrowbone that they get from the local butchers. They enjoy the crunching and it seems to do their teeth good too.
