Thunder And Anxiety
Busderpuddle replied to Busderpuddle's topic in Training and Behavior discussion
The news said the bulk of the thunder hit over Salem and Woodburn and we got hit pretty hard. The fire was only 6 blocks away so I knew it was intense. I honestly would be OK with her being stoned out of her mind rather than what happened the other night. I was afraid she was going to have a heart attack. Will ask for the Trazadone and see if it works. I hate the 4th of July because of this. -
Yes, these are what I bought. They are a lot cheaper on Chewy.com and Amazon though. I just got them for $13.?? on Chewy. I also cut them and only give her 1/2 each night. I feed them on her bed and have never noticed a stain. I had the same problem with Greenies. These are smaller and she doesn't drool as much. They STINK though, but she loves them. I am sure the turkey neck helps, but I have been giving her those for years. I really think these work. She is 7 and her canines are white and no plaque now. Her breath is good too.

I have been giving Ruby 1/2 of a Ark Naturals teeth cleaning treat every night, and 1 turkey neck a week, and her teeth look great. She is 7 1/2 and her teeth are pearly white and no bad breath. I just started the Ark Naturals a month ago and I am impressed. Her canines were starting to look a little orange. They are a little spendy but I only give 1/2 of one so they last quite a while. She loves them too but they STINK. Congrats on your new pup.

A month or so ago I bought a bag of the Ark Naturals teeth cleaning treats. I have been giving 1/2 of one to Ruby every night since, and a turkey neck once a week. Tonight I was looking at her teeth and they look white again, even the canines that were starting to turn kind of orange. Could this possibly be this simple ? Has anyone else tried them and had success. Luckily I just bought another bag of them and she loves them. They sure reek though.

I saw that pigs ears were mentioned in another thread and I am wondering how many of you feed them ? For some crazy reason that I can't remember, I think that I read not to feed them to greys. She is allergic to beef but no other issues that I am aware of. I used to feed them to my Golden all the time and they were a huge hit. So are they safe to feed ? How often ? Thanks

I finally got my order and it took 13 days to get here. I contacted the online chat feature on day 12 when it didn't show and they told me that it was really unusual, but I should be getting it soon. No we're sorry, no excuses, no nothing. I told them they need to remove the little van and sign in the top right corner of their website that says "Fast 1-2 day shipping on orders over $49." I don't think I will use them again. I can go with Amazon and get it in 2 days for a couple dollars more. Bummer though because I liked the autoship.

Tonight we had a horrible thunder and lightening storm and Ruby was absolutely out of her mind for over 2 hours. She paced back and forth, tried to run at both doors, went in and out of her crate and panted and drooled. It was awful to watch and I felt helpless. I tried shutting the door to her crate when she was in it but she just whined loudly. Usually she likes this and quiets right down. I know I have asked about this in years past, but I have got to try something else for her so that we don't spend the entire month of July in a panic. She has tried all the OTC meds, Thunder shirt, and Dap diffusers and collars. I have had her on a couple of prescription meds that didn't work, one being Valium. I am going to make her an appt. for next week to take her in and get something. What do you recommend ? As a side note, the lightening caused a house about 7 blocks from me to explode into flames and burn to the ground. The 2 people escaped and I am now wondering if the combo of the lightening and sirens made Ruby worse than I have ever seen her. Very sad.

I did go online and track the package.. It says it will be here tomorrow. That will be 12 days at least if it comes tomorrow. Seems like a long time since they claim "Super Fast Shipping". Not sure I will use them again.
-
OK..............no fast shipping for me. I ordered about 10 days ago and nothing here yet. So far not impressed with their "fast shipping". It was 4 days after I placed the order that I got an email saying it had been shipped. Guess it was sent by turtle. Waiting.

I use a raw egg on top of the kibble and also parmesan cheese when Ruby is being a picky butt. These 2 tricks work 99% of the time. I have also switched her food many times thinking that was the problem, but she does this with any food. Good luck.
-
I placed an order 2 days ago on autoship and saved 20% on the total. Hope it comes soon as I want to get Ruby switched to the new Fromm food I ordered.
-
Very sad............
-
Have you looked at the Chicken A La Veg from Fromm ? I liked the ingredients and just ordered it today from Chewy.com for Ruby. Hoping things work out with it.
-
Will be watching this post as I just ordered Fromm food for Ruby. Hope it works

Natures Recipe Grain Free
Busderpuddle replied to Busderpuddle's topic in Food and dietary discussion
IrskasMom, why do you mix the 2 types of kibble ? -
When I looked at the definition on Google it said that by-products can contain the bodies of diseased animals, road kill, euthanised animals, beaks, etc. I do feed Ruby chicken feet and turkey necks, but that is as far as I am going to go. I understand the use of liver, hearts,tripe and others, just not the other stuff described. How would you ever know what you are really feeding ? ugh,,,,,,,just UGH.

Prayers for Jovie.

I have been researching dog foods trying to find a new one for Ruby that is grain free and does not contain beef, due to an allergy. I noticed a lot of the foods have chicken (or beef, turkey, etc.) by-product in them. I had no idea what a by-product is, Googled it, and now I am horrified. Ugh. Nasty. I can't believe that stuff is allowed in any type of food for any animal. I am hoping that I have never fed her one with it in it. How is it companies are allowed to use garbage and rotten and diseased junk to feed our pets ?
