Let's See Your Dogs!!

Thank you for the review.

Always nice to hear a review on someting from somebody who has actually used the thing being reviewed.

I 2nd this from recent personal experience giving the canine cbd oil to my dog or any dog for the first time.

I met a guy during this past summer who swears it helped his old dog.

The girl at the feed store where I got it said she gives it to her older yellow labs after a hunt and it helps them.

My younger brother works in the industry on the people cbd side of it.

I have also seen excellent results with two past older retrievers with cosequin.

The vet gave cody the newer version called dasuquin monday.

 

You can get it from Amazon. Been feeding it to Riley for a few months and I do think it helps although it does not relieve pain or necessarily change the condition of the joints.

 

CBD absolutely does relieve pain, the stuff you're referring to idk.

 

The new (to me) stuff or the cosequin?
Was actually heading to walmart for some cosequin max ds after the vet but he turned me on to the new dasuquin stuff so I figured Id give it a try.

And yes its not a miracle, none of it.
But it helps.

I have lifted an old, worn out, sore retriever into the truck, out of the truck and into the house because he just couldnt do it after a full day of retrieving, and seen the results.

Before my vet tech friend recommended it, he would be sore for days.
After the cosequin, he was good to go (no hunting day two!) the next day after a good nights rest.

 

Just changed positions again.
He has not laid comfortably with his hips like this for days!

Progress

Love to get back to a few random pics of funness every now and then.

 

I was referring to Dasaquin, not CBD.

 

Dasaquin is what I was referring to.

BTW, you want to check the CBD you give your dog. Some contain ingredients that are not good for dogs. In other words, give one that is formulated specifically for dogs.

 

Good to know thank you!!

Imho,
Not everything that is new and improved,
Is

Sometimes the ol trusty, you know works, is the best.

Thanks again

 

Dosage with the cbd is important too.
Find what works best for each individual is whats recommended and what I found to be true.

For instance, based on codys weight and the recommended dosages on the bottle I gave cody about a half dose of 1ml
and saw results in 15mins

4 hrs later I gave him a full dose of 2ml and saw no results.

4hrs after that, 1ml
Back to quivering/spasms be gone and resting comfortably

 

After a buttload of research friday nite, I lucked out and the feed store right down the street has this stuff.

Good concentration
Good price
Nothing but cbd and coconut oil
Made for big dogs

 

Ok time for physical therapy

ie suns out, somebody has to go pee

Thank u everyone keep them doggie pics coming!

 

According to Facebook, five years ago today my dog became internet famous after deciding she wanted to try eating orange peels.

 

So cute! I kinda hate you right now. Cant handle puppy pics, makes me want another and my hands are full with my 2... My name ideal is Storm, cause soon enough there will be nothing but a storm of hair. Get ready for your truck to become a snowglobe of fur if she rides in the truck for any amount of time. I'd say ask me how I know but showing is always better right? Dont think I ever posted this pic in this thread last year.

I agree and even after a name is picked it may change again. My youngest started as Haze for his hazel eyes and then went to Blaze because I kept messing it up and it stuck.

I went the other way and puppy proofed my pups when I am gone. I wasnt ready for the thousands of dollars of damage they would have done or the squishy surprises they would have left for me to step in when I was half asleep.

And a more recent pics of my pups from last week taking a little nap.

 

I tried believe me.

This one hated the crate.
I mean absolutely hated the crate.
Violently rebelled against being locked in it!

Too bad so sad puppy, I have to go to work so deal with it.

The first day when I got home he was out. The gate was still on the crate and closed, both halves secure...hmm watever
Chalked it up to the cat must have done it.

The second day same thing.
I locked him in it and left the room. Heard scrambling and the little houdini was squishing his fat puppy body out the top after climbing the gate so I drilled some holes and secured xtra bars.

That held him for a while until he ripped his gums open chewing on it.

Eventually I gave up and took the gate off.
He was breaking the two halves of the crate apart by then anyways.

Gate off during one of the reinforcement repairs

 

My older boy would bust out of wire crates or learn how to open the door. I then bought him what I called his Alcatraz. It worked but he out grew it and I couldnt take it with me on trips in the rare case that I would need it with me.

He now has a crate that made him give up on trying to escape and I can take with me if I have to on trips. I won in the end but my wallet lost... I like the newest one so much and hate money so I bought a matching one for my younger pup even though hes never broken out of a crate.

 

The ones I currently use are collapsible Impact dog crates(if you look at these be ready cause holy **** they are expensive). The bar crate I got off Amazon was a 42" version of

$300 SmithBuilt 48" Extra Large Heavy-Duty Dog Crate Cage - XL Two-Door Indoor Outdoor Pet & Animal Kennel with Tray - Gray

this one. I thought it would be big enough but my older boy grew larger than I anticipated and needed a 48" crate by the time he stopped growing. I wanted something I could transport easier, Otherwise I probably would have bought the 48" version for him.

 

Jason
Do you still have one of the big ones that you need to sell that will fit Buzz & Cooper?

 

I have some of the basic wire ones. I'll look to see what sizes and let you know.

 

Puppy prisons!!!! Haha

Very nice! That wouldve worked.
Where were you when I needed you then???

For the $$$ that he destroyed it would have paid for itself.

We were gonna weld something like that up but I figured wth,,,,
I dont like cages either.

 

I dont love crates but when used properly I think they can be a great tool/safe place for a dog. My boys only get put in them when no one is around or awake and never as punishment. Its as much for my furniture as it is for them. My youngest one still tries to eat everything and hes almost 2. My older one has grown out of that and has started to get more freedom if I'm running out for a quick trip to the store. One time he ate a whole sock when he broke out. I didnt know anything was wrong until 2 days later on a trip when he freaked out in the truck and made me pull off the highway so he could go potty. Didnt find out what caused it until 5 days later when we got home and he pooped out a whole sock. That was when I knew I had to find something better. Could have turned out real bad had it blocked his system. The little one will use his when he starts playing and my older one uses size against him. They both know not to enter the others crate, its their own safe place that nobody, including myself, will bother them.
