Is Your Dog a Fussy Eater?
I. Kirsten Frisch, owner of www.alaskan-husky-behavior.com explores a medical problem that could be behind a finicky eater. Is Your Dog a Fussy Eater?
What's Your Favorite Thing About Your Dog?
Thanks to all who responded to the last month's survey, Here are some of my favorite responses to those who answered, "What's Your Favorite Thing About Your Dog?"
"Everything about my dog is my favorite,he's lovin'and funny but my favorite thing about him is his attitude. He has the heart of a lion in a corgi body."
I have vision of the cowardly lion "grring" and trying to look ferocious.
"One sits up on his hind legs like a prairie dog, waving his front paws in the air. The other tries to copy but is so goofy and uncoordinated, and much heavier!"
Isn't that a funny image?
What Foods Do You Feed Your Dog?
Most of you feed your dogs a mix of homecooked and commercial foods. Eukanuba, Nature's Gift, Pedigree, Schmakos, SuperCoat, home-cooked biscuits, veggies, eggs, sardines, a little bit of bread, Neways Dog supplement Optimum Plus were all from one reader--now there's variety!Another mentioned Van Patten - holistic chicken and someone else said she feeds kibble and some raw. She keeps chickens so pooch gets chicken feet as treats as well as necks and the wings, treats are usually raw or baked meat with ginger and garlic.
A lot of you said you feed Nutro and Eukanuba as kibble mixed with table scraps and/or raw meat.
You must have some happy and healthy pups!
