I bought pet insurance thru petcareinsurance.com. The plan I have runs about 39 dollars per month. It's the only plan I was able to find that will cover hereditary problems. It does have a cap though. There are 12 illness catagories, and once you reach $3,000 per catagory, there is no more coverage ...

Dyson Animal for me too. I thought my boyfriend was crazy for buying such an expensive vaccum, until I saw all the hair that it picks up!

I got the titer test results today. No need for the booster shots of Parvo, Carnovirus, or Distemper this year..yeah! Still no answer on the rabies from the County. We wont run that test until we hear from them cause it's 200 bucks. The other tests ending up costing 70. So worth it since it put me a...

I had no idea Nutro made desserts. Went to Petco and bought a bunch yesterday. I gave Zoey the pumpkin crumble and she absolutey loved it! Normally she turns her nose up to new things, or she'll take it and then spit it out. Not this time! She licked the plate clean.

In LA, you have to vaccinate all animals over 4 months of age for rabbies. I think there is a 1 yr shot and a 3 yr. The vet issues a rabbies certificate, which you have to have each year to renew your dog liscense. The vet has to call animal services to find out the policy on the certificate and if ...

Titer testing

Has anybody ever done titer testing to check if your chow needs to be re-vaccinated? Zoey is due for shots, so, I called my vet to talk about my concerns over the yearly boosters. She believes that blindly vaccinatinig a dog every year is not the way to go and suggested titer testing for rabbies, pa...

I have Pet Care Insurance and its awesome. They will even cover hereditary problems (hip dysplasia, eyelid enthropian, ect) that most insurance companies will not. However, they do exclude pre-existing conditions. Here is the link though if you are interested in coverage for the future. http://www.p...

thanks! I think she was waiting for our lab to get out of the pool and pounce on him. I missed a great photo op though. We'd put zoey in the pool (which she wasn't happy about) to get her to swim. Our lab was out of the pool and came running over, grabbed her by the back of her neck with his mouth, ...

Thanks for all the input! I haven't had her teeth checked by a vet yet to see if a cleaning is actually needed. I just assumed they needed to be as I can see a little build up on her back teeth. She doesn't have bad breath at all. I do ok at brushing the front teeth but have a harder time getting to...

teeth cleaning

Im looking for some advice or experiences anybody has had with getting their chows teeth cleaned. I like the idea of the anesthesia free cleaning. However, I called my vet today and they say it's not as effective because they can't really get under the gums and do a good job without the dog being pu...

thanks 3blackchows! When I first saw her laying there, she reminded me of baby deer laying in the grass. One of the few times I've been able to catch a good pic without "disturbing" her.

I have dropped the handle on those retractable leashes so many times! I finally quit using it. I bought a regular leather one and it hasn't slip out of my hand yet. Glad you caught her! I know how scary that is.

Thanks. No, she didn't go in by herself. I carried her over to the edge of the pool and set her down on the first pool step. Once she got used to that, we took her out a few feet and let her swim back in. I was surprised she didn't freak out at all. We did it a couple times with her, but, each time ...
