What it does mean is that given the choice, I may choose not to select a product from China. And I choose not to feed my dog food that's not manufactured in the USA or Canada. I understand it will take a while for the food formulas and operations to change if they do change. Again I was just...

I am not panicking but my dog has had HGE twice in his life and almost died both times. The first time he lost so much blood that he almost need a blood transfusion. When I switched him to the L.I.D. it really made a HUGE difference and he's had good solid stools, eats like a champ and no other...

I bought a small bag of Earthborn just to see if my Wesite would like the flavor and he seems to like it I just hope there's not anything in it to upset his stomach. That's the only advantage to the limited ingredients is has less in it to upset his sensitive system.

Thank you all so much for the suggestions I am looking into all of them and considering each one, I wish feeding our dogs wasn't so hard!

I was looking at Taste of the Wild, but then read about the recalls with Diamond and now I'm still looking...:gaah

Bison is the only protein he seems good with because we have gone through, duck, chicken, lamb and he will not touch anything with any type of fish or seafood in it. I feed my Sheltie Fromm which has some really great grain free options, but I need something with limited ingredients because I...

I know it is a buy out Natural Balance is calling it a merger. Yes I am concerned with the quality of food now that Del Monte owns them. Del Monte owns Milo's Kitchen products and they are known for their recalls and the fact they sorce from china. I'm not looking for anyone to try to explain...

Not sure if anyone here feeds Natural Balance, but I do and I thought you would like to know they are merging with Del Monte which I think is a bad move for them and now I will have to find something else quick to feed my Westie because he's been on the L.I.D. Bison and Sweet potato due to...

I called the emergency vet and they told me as long as he is still peeing it's good even if he can't go every now and then. They also said just watch him over the course of the night and if anything seems to change then bring him in, but if I can wait until tomorrow take him to my regular vet. I...

That was my first thought, but my mom said it could be because of the wind because her dogs are acting strange too. I was not really able to sleep last night because of the wind and the dogs woke me up several times barking (at the wind). I am going to call my vet tomorrow I hope they are open...

Today Henry has been unusually pesky about going outside and I have watched him and he is straining to pee. He peed in the house which is not normal and he wants to go out every 15-20 mins. I went out with him and watched the poor guy strain 3 times with no urine coming out. I am not sure if it...

We have a fenced in yard and there are no ponds or puddles or any standing water they could get into, but we do have squirrels, rabbits and skunks around. We live outside of Springfield, MA and it's not at all considered country, I have yet to see a deer since moving to MA, growing up in a rural...

Just curious where in MA is your vet?

This is a new vet I didn't like the first vet I saw when we first moved here, seems like it's harder to find a good vet here in MA then it was in SC.

I usually groom Henry, but last year in the spring when he blew his coat I took him to the groomer I usually take my Westie to because I was sick and not able to get a handle on it. I take my Westie every 6-8 weeks in the summer and every 8-12 weeks in the winter. I like the work my groomer does...
