    Himalayan Dog Chews

    in Food and dietary discussion

    Posted

    I gave Lila this chew today. It scared me because it sounded like she was chewing rocks and her teeth were breaking. :eek She walked away from it after less than 10 minutes. That is very unusual, either it was hurting her or the sounds were scaring her too. I will call this a $10 experiment and just be glad all of her teeth are still intact.

    Bored With Same Walking Route?

    in Training and Behavior discussion

    Posted

    I take Lila for a walk every day (unless the weather is frightful). I live in a suburb with the streets laid out on a pretty consistent grid pattern so there are lots of different routes we can take on our walks.

     

    I have noticed that if we go the same way two days in a row or even twice in three days Lila does not show her usual enthusiasm. She walks with her head down, no looking around, no sniffing, no peeing.

     

    If we are walking somewhere we have not been for a while she is much more enthusiastic. She walks with her head and ears up, looks around, lots of marking, and sniffs everything. I call her the postal inspector because she has to sniff every mailbox, sign post, lamp post, and tree that we come across. :P If we go down a “common” block to get to a more novel one her attitude changes immediately.

     

    Have you noticed similar behaviour in your dog? Or are the OK with going the same way everyday?

     

    Are you talking about me?

    $20 Coupon For Dingo Products

    in Food and dietary discussion

    Posted

    I checked the Dingo treats and they are made in China. Meijer's has them. I'm going to stay away from anything not made in USA.

     

    They say that their soft treats are made in the US. Everything else comes from "multiple sources". :blink:

    I was planning on donating them to my local shelter (not that shelter dogs deserve to be poisoned...)

    I bought a large one for Lila on Friday. I have not given it to her yet. It was $10. The lady at the pet store said it would probably take her 3 hours to eat. I pay $5 for a large bully stick that lasts her 1 1/2 hours (2 45 minute sessions). So the price of the yak chew is comparable for me.

    Yogurt

    Lila gets a spoonful of plain, non-fat yogurt on her food. She loves it! I don't know if she gets any benefit from it, but she is less stinky. :P I also let her lick the lid from my flavoured ones if she is around when I am eating it.

    Sitting In Cold Weather Only

    in Training and Behavior discussion

    Posted

    Yes! Lila has also become a cold weather sitter. My thought was that it was a way to make herself smaller, therefore warmer. I am also using it as a lazy way to train sit. :lol Whenever her butt starts going down it's, Good sit Lila! and many treats.

     

    She also hates her coat. Walking in it becomes the death march and she won't go potty in it. I hope she can get over that as it gets colder because this is just the beginning of winter for us. :snow

    $20 Coupon For Dingo Products

    If you sign up for the mailing list here - http://visitor.r20.constantcontact.com/manage/optin/ea?v=001yNBsj5sMLIssBz7d9vvcpQ%3D%3D - they will send you a coupon for $20 off Dingo products on the website. It appears to be legitimate. I got a return email stating the coupon would be sent once they receive 25000 requests.

     

    I have never used Dingo products, but it looks like they have more than rawhide. :) If these are not products you give to your dog(s) it would still make a nice donation to your adoption group or local shelter.

    Antlers As Chews

    in Food and dietary discussion

    Posted

    I have seen topics here about giving deer antlers to the dogs to chew on. I think they were purchased commercially.

    Does anyone know if they are processed in any way? I have access to antlers through relatives who hunt. Could I give them to Lila right off the deer? :blink:

    Larry

    in Remembrance

    Posted

    I am so sorry for your loss!

    You got Larry near the anniversary of my father's death. His name was Larry also, so I always felt a special connection to your guy.

    His memory will live on in the hearts of many.

    Deeni Was Hit By A Car Last Night

    in Health and Medical discussion

    Posted

    It breaks my heart that Deeni is not trusting you. :weep I don't have as much experience as the rest of these folks, but I do know that once they get scared it takes a long time for them to get it out of those pointy little heads. But I do believe that patience and love can overcome a lot.

     

    I don't know if you or Deeni would be up for it, but I am planning on taking Lila to the meet & greet here in Green Bay on Saturday. Maybe a group of friendly people and hounds could help? We would love to meet you!
