I heard that Chows don't grow back their hair back, is this true, if they're shaved? If a large area is shaved right to the skin, it can disrupt the circadian communication in the hair follicles and cause post-clipping alopecia, sometimes for as long as two years. The section shaved on your Chow do...

...Chief is posessive over Steel and Roxi. They belong to him.... I was going to say that Steel looks like Chief's hostage in those pictures, and that a thought bubble over Steel's head would say, "help me, somebody help me please..." He really doesn't look happy/well to me, sorry. Almost...

The Blues do have faded masks, but Steel doesn't look well or happy in those pics. Chief probably feels threatened about pack hierarchy.

The right tool for the right job : ) Congrats and an A+ for aesthetics.

...shes very gentle until it comes to legs and ankles HELP You would focus on inhibiting prey drive.

They seem more like a praying mantis, and probably would look better in green.

Kiwani, What do you think of Avoderm? What do you feed your dogs? Just curious because now I think Denny has chlostridium I've recommended an Avoderm formula to one of the members here. It doesn't seem to be available everywhere though. I've most often recommended Solid Gold "Wolf King" (...

...i just cant believe he did that at ten monthes of age. At ten months of age, your Chow would be going through the second 'fear phase' of his development. There are a lot of changes going on in his body, mentally and physically, including another big surge of testosterone if he's not neutered. If...

I miss Jeff and I'm concerned about Pekoe

Here's the problem...the cream one isn't socialized AT ALL. She's snapped, growled and barked at me and the ladythat pulled her from the shelter. The cream malamute/mix might have been bonded to a male human, and might have had bad experiences with a female human (?) In any case, if she is blind, h...

This link mentions that the manufacturing plant has been closed permanently, and that it was the same facility closed for cleaning in 2007, also because of salmonella. (The 2007 closure is mentioned on your FDA link)

Here's one link about two Pedigree recalls...

His leg has been coming up for about 2 months now. I was so proud the day he stopped squatting.. The vet suggested 6 months but I wanted to wait a bit longer so that is why we waited till 8 months. Small breed dogs may be well developed by six months, but larger breeds take more time to develope jo...

Sorry to be a pain Kiwana but I wonder if you could let me know the brands that you found and I will try to find them here in UK or order from US as I am having no luck. cortaflex is the only product I have found and I don't know if all the ingredients are in a "good" form. The "cort...

What else should I think of? How long has he been hiking his leg consistently? Testosterone plays an important role in bone/muscle development/health too and there are testosterone surges as development progresses. There are archived threads concerning long term adverse effects of neutering too ear...

...wondered which product would be best for Bramble (6 1/2 months). Holland and Barret Glucosamine, chondroitin & MSM (below) or Seraquin - somewhere I read that Glycoflex was not so good. Glucosamine 296mg (provided by Glucosamine Sulphate 2KCl 500mg) One very important thing to keep in mind, ...

Think of it as buying inflammation in a bag. Dogs love the taste because it's sweetened and coated with rancid grease.

The test for pancreatitis is often inconclusive though. A dog with pancreatitis can have normal enzyme results. Thanks for the update and the good news. All best wishes...

Kiwana I wonder if you know anything about Vaxamine-K-9 that I should take into account when deciding if I should give it to Bramble as I don't think she is going to manage 6 months without some medical help?... Going by their ingredients list below, there *are* better natural cox-2 inhibitor formu...
