Big Paws Only Dog Forums

Welcome, I now have a 5 month old mal and absolutely love her. When you post a message go to additional options and browse to post a pic. Can't wait to see your pics. You will love this group, everyone is wonderful!

She has been doing better until last night with the panting, but it was also about 82 deg. here yesterday and even though we had the ac on it was about 73 in the house. So today we went and bought a cool bed they have them for large dog also, you fill it with 6 gal of water and it stays cool and is actually comfortable. Just getting her off the couch to lay on it is a hard thing. The only thing she could be stressed about is her friends, the dogs behind us don't socialize with her as much now that she is getting bigger and she has ran the fence with them since we got her! It really makes me mad! She went outside today to play with them and they turned away, it was so sad to see her, she was all ready to come inside, so we took her to PetsMart and then to go eat lunch at Sonic, that is her saturday treat, she goes and sits under the table while we eat and everyone adores her. Will keep you posted on our next child, we may adopt one from a rescue shelter!

Thanks, she is 17 weeks old. I love the play pen because she can move around in it and go to her crate to sleep.

I have heard of it, we have only tried the treats and she loved them, my vet said it was an ok food. Have you tried Eukenuba? That is the only thing that does not bother my dogs stomach. The groomer that cuts her toenails swears by Bil-Jac and Eukenuba, she states that they are about the same, but since I have only tried the treats that is the only thing I can tell you about.

What type of garlic pills? I would love to use more natural remedies than medication. The vet says no fleas which is good but last night after she went to the park we pulled off 2 ticks, we also put lime down in our yard, seems copperheads are roaming the area, my neighbors dogs were bit and were paralyzed for 3 days.  I am going to research the difference in K9 Advantix and Frontline to see which one would be best, right now the K9 Advantix is wonderful with mosquitoes and fleas and most of the ticks were dead when we pulled them off. 

We believe our mal have poison ivy, has anyone has to deal with this, I am taking her to the dr at 9:00 this morning, but am not sure exactly what they will do for it. Will keep you posted. Also what kind of flea and tick medicine are your dogs on? We are on K9 Advantix but are still getting ticks!

You mals are absolutely georgous!

Ok, well I don't have a couch pic yet, but sure one is coming soon. I was out of town for the weekend and came home to my 4 leg furry child and boyfriend. Well you guys know who I hugged and kissed first, Tonka, then she decided that she was going on the couch, which she is not allowed, well was not allowed until today. She used my boyfriend as a human trampoline as she ran through the house and jumped on the couch with me then pushed me off with her legs! Boy is she strong and is almost 17 weeks old. She is such a riot. She thinks that she is all that now that she can get on the couch with us. Sure to have a cute couch pic soon.
