I recently bought an 8 month old Basset Puppy from a breeder. She's been eating IAMS Puppy, but she has allergies to it and is a tad skinny (33 lbs). So, I've been switching her to Canidae Life Stages slowly this week (just a small bit in her food and sometimes as a treat).

Yesterday, she stopped eating the IAMS and only wants the Canidae. She only eats the IAMS if I mix it really well and today she refused to eat at all any of the IAMS until she was starved late in the day (by then I caved and put in more Canidae). The breeder said she eats 3 cups of IAMS a day.I feed her in three meals to prevent bloat.

So, my question is tomorrow I'm going to get a larger bag of Canidae (it's an hour drive, but worth it!). I want to know how much she should be eating. Also, if I add in some canned Canidae daily how would that effect feeding amounts.

My other question -- since she only wants the Canidae can I stop the slow introduction and just switch? It's only been about 4 days.

I used to give these to my dog because they kept him occupied for awhile if I had to do some work or go out for a bit, but they always used to last him a few days, sometimes a week. Now, he rips through them in perhaps an hour. He's only a 15 pound Cairn Terrier. Would eating too many chew sticks cause any problems for him, digestive or otherwise? Thanks!

Ok I am just against puppymills as much as the rest of you, but there is something that bothers me......
You all say that you shouldn't buy a puppy from a pet store because he could have come from a puppymill, but don't you think that it would be better to buy dogs from a pet store than a breader because the dogs at a pet store will go BACK to a puppymill and be abused and dogs that aren't bought from breeders will just become their pet or something. i think it is stupid the buy from a breader because think about all of those helpless puppys going to puppymills to keep on having babies until they can no longer move and they die in their own pee and poo because they aren't let out of cages andit is always dark in the rooms. what you you think?

This recently has happened to me with Marshall, (it's been about three months since Marshall and Wylie stay 24/7 with me with limited freedom that's gated, and sleep with me), that when I pet him, he nips or bites me. Nothing serious. Just teeth marks. I'm just curious to why cats nip or bite you. (This summer, Sweet Pea bit my mom at the veins of her hand, and was infected, and had to get antibiotics. We don't know why that happened.)

Hello. :-) I'm new to this forum. Well, I just recently adopted a puppy about 2-3 months ago. My puppy name is Miley. I got a hard time identifying my puppy's breed. She is only 4 months old right now and weight around 14 to 16lbs. She got a really long body and her legs are not short. Miley is a Golden Retriever mixed, because her mother is a Golden Retriever, and her father is unknown. Most people told me that Miley could be a Dachshund/Golden Retriever mixed, but I'm not sure. If Miley is a Dachshund/Golden Retriever how big will she get? Others said that she will be only 25-30 lbs. I just want to know what breed is she. Below are photos of Miley.
Here is a photo of Miley when we first adopted her on 06-24-07http://img508.imageshack.us/my.php?image=babymiley0624071301bv0.jpg

If U don't know what a Bichon Frise looks like, go to "horningsfarm.com" & see that puppy in white !! I think that the puppy should have a name that is Regal or Charming. Also should it be a person's name ?? Like Quentin Vaughn ?? This would be my substitute baby !! Also do U vote for getting a boy or girl & WHY? Thx for all your assistance !!

I tried blending it in with other stuff, and making a dressing to put over them but its still no go, she wont eat her greens or vegitables. She only seems to like fruit.

He HAS been to the vet, he doesn't have worms and doesn't have parvo or any other illness that the vet can detect. He told me the diarrhea is probably just stomach-upset from eating something he shouldn't have, and that it will pass. He's eating and drinking normally, he's not lethargic or depressed. I've been giving him plenty of water to make sure he's not getting dehydrated. What could I feed him to "stop him up?" Plain rice? Bananas? Any ideas? Or should I leave it alone?

We see oodles of questions about "how do I look after cats" on here but virtually none about dogs. What does that say?

I think the show is badly made - too much 'before and after', not enough 'during', and the little we see of his techniques are physically aggressive (e.g. jabbing, poking)!

Why do people always recommend his techniques, esp. when (thanks to the editing of the show) they haven't seen them properly in action, but what we *do* see is physically violent? There is no 'whispering' involved, he doesn't sense a thing in comparison to our dog's behavioural trainer - now *there's* a bona fide dog whisperer!
