Re: relocating with our Chow
thanks for the info...now I just have to figure how I can get the health form within 10 days of leaving. She will be kennelled for about 14 days...before we can ship her. so I may have to figure out the logistics of the 10 day limit.....

Re: Dead grass spots
so the product that we used for the whole summer is called "Grass saver" made by naturvet. It worked very well, she didn't seem to have any adverse affects to it, and the lawn is green...so mission accomplished.

Re: Sweet potato treats?
Kira has had them (one bag) and she seemed to like them....I thought they would be a good chew for her and are more natural then some treats. But only in moderation. the natural sugars can be a problem.

But we ended up having problems with her coat....was it food or allergies? not sure...but we have since changed her food. We did Eagle pack holistic for a while and that was OK....
