    My Puppy :-)

    A lab is a large breed dog, therefore a food for large breed puppies is fine. A mastiff is a GIANT breed dog. There is a difference in how fast they should build muscle - hence a lower protein level. As far as I know, the only commercial puppy food for giant breed pups is made by Eagle Pack. And...

    My Puppy :-)

    More (probably) unneeded advice. No puppy food! You have a giant breed dog and they should not have a food with more than 23% protein. Too much protein basically grows them too fast and can cause bone and joint problems that are painful for them and hard to cure.

    Dry dog food?

    I was wondering if that was the one I posted, I was getting ready to post it again. I will reiterate what someone else touched on though. Grains really have no place in a dog's diet. Also, whle they can benefit from some of the natural stuff in fruits and veggies (especially the fiber that's in...

    Canine chiropractic, massage & similar therapies

    We've used accupressure. There's a point for bloat that has worked on several of the foster dogs, we really swear by it. It doesn't prevent torsion 100% of the time, but gets pretty close. I have a link to some videos (accupressure and massage). Can I post it here? I also know a couple of...

    Bit by my puppy

    I'm not sure if this is a nationwide law, but here in Florida the doctor would have to report that bite to animal control. Then a/c comes out and quarantines your puppy for 10 days AND that bite is on his record forever. I'd avoid that whole thing I could. Those puppy teeth are razor sharp...

    Big Dog Suggestions?

    That would be Thor, he was the first foster I fell hard for. He is now reunited with my Dane girl, Xena, at the bridge. I tell you, the long tails are nothing, it's the short life span that kills me.

    Big Dog Suggestions?

    Of course, I was going to go there too. Since it's already been done I will only BEG you to adopt and not purchase. There are so many in shelters and rescues now and it's going to get worse as summer gets closer. Check Petfinder - shelters and rescues get puppies too. Also, big black dogs are...

    Who recommended "The Outlander Series"

    I wasn't the one who recommended them either, but I will do so now. I have read the whole series and am eagerly awaiting the seventh one, " An Echo in the Bone". Due out 9-22. Obviously I think they're excellent.

    Poor doggie!

    I can vouch for for that! Surrenders are through the roof and adoptions are at an all time low. We are overwhelmed. Things will have to improve to suck.

    Took my dogs to the vet yesterday

    What Carola said. Science Diet is awful, along with Beneful, Pedigree, Ol' Roy and Kibbles & Bits.

    10 smartest dog breeds

    Had to lol to this. The male Danes are really dorky. Now, having very little experience with other breeds, I have a giant ton of experience with Danes. The females are way smarter in general and that leads to trouble in the form of mischief. (Smart dogs are overrated, IMO) There is a big...

    Are you not happy unless you're sore?

    Oh yes! I love having DOMS! Walking around mumbling to myself, "I have butt DOMS...cool." I hardly get ever shoulder soreness though. And I WANT it!
