Let's See Your Dogs!!

Almost 14 years old wearing boots (I call them Yeezy's).

 

The wife gave our dog a Genghis Khan hairstyle.

 

From this morning. Ran his little butt off and I’m pretty sure he liked it! Grass was a bit damp so I didn’t push too hard.

 

Guard dog let me make it all the way in the house and room before he realized I was home

 

Looks like it was the scheduled union break time.

 

you’d think he just worked my 12 hr shift

 

8 years old today. Time flys

 

Baby turd is allergic to something. He’s started chewing his feet. Haven’t changed food, so not really sure what it is. Changed his water and food bowl from a metal one to a ceramic one. Took him to get a shot to calm the itching down. This is how he wanted to ride this morning. I don’t see how this can even be comfortable lol

 

Hope you get it figured out

 

Could it just be fall pollen in the grass? If you've made no real changes in food or other things in his environment, it would seem to be something outside of your control that changed. Anyway, hope you figure it out.

My dog rides in the back and will rest his head on the top of one of the front seats. It seems to help stabilize him.

 

We took Tessa in a few weeks ago and the vet said it was a pollen allergy. New allergy pill for dogs has made a big difference. Apoquel I think.

 

It works very well. Best part is you don’t need to give it all the time. Only as needed.

 

Try feeding a probiotic like the Purina Proflora. Comes in a packet you can sprinkle on their food. Also, vacuum. A lot of dogs are allergic to their own dander.

 

I'm glad my dog isn't the only one.

 

It's really strange but with labs shedding all the time, I'm just used to it and don't think about it when there's fur around. Then the vet said something about it--she has a couple of labs as well. And when Kimo starts licking, I just run the vacuum even if it's just been a couple of days since the last time. Works. Only happens a couple of times a year too.

 

My dog had a farting issue (and he's not a short-nosed breed prone to farting) and we got the Purina packets from the vet. It certainly helped. Now we just give our dogs a dollop of plain greek yogurt with their food every day, much cheaper than the packets and seems to help. At least there have been no more farting incidents.

 

I've heard plain greek yogurt does the trick too. But mixed with berries, it makes a pretty good breakfast

 

Canned pumpkin is really good for digestive system and dogs love it

 

We do canned pumpkin and a sweet potato mix I make ahead of time and freeze. About a 1/4 cup with her "buffet" breakfast. I add 5-6 blueberries and a sometimes 1-2 strawberries to the picture below.
