It is that time of year again & my stomach is getting that knot when I think about Frontline, etc. I am always torn b/c I am soooo paranoid about my dogs getting lyme (as well as the other tick born illnesses), as RI is considered an endemic area but then again those checmicals make me nervous. My question is to those of you that were using the natural products from Whole Foods, etc. are you still happy w/ those products? Will you use them this year? Thanks.

Re: Feeding Raw
« Result #3 on Aug 22, 2007, 5:56am »

I am wondering about using the Timber Wolf Organics for when I travel though. Normally I buy freeze dried raw but it is very pricey for 2 dogs. Last weekends trial the temps were between 100-110 and humid so even with a cooler I would have been hesitant to carry raw with me. Beth

Hi Beth (& all others) ! I am new here but was really glad to find this board; there seem to be alot of people from New England that post here. I am in RI. ;-)
I just wanted to tell you that I have been feeding a combo of raw(my own or Bravo or Steve's when I am in a hurry) and Timberwolf Organic kibble for about 8 yrs. now with great success. Our dogs range in age from 1 1/2 yrs. old to 12 yrs.; we have Miniature Pinschers and American Bulldogs. The main reason for using a "combo" was the expense involved with dog's of the AmBul's size. I tried to do this but found after a year I just could not keep it up. They had formerly been on T.O. kibble and home-cooked, so I incorporated the kibble back in and it was fine as Sharon said.
T.O. is a good line of products and their Salmon Oil is also exceptional. We normally use either the Black Forest or the Ocean Blue; the owner of Timberwolf has formulated his dry foods to allow for mixing in raw meats. If you go to his site, he explains the mineral or phosphorus ratios he uses to allow people to be able to do this without throwing off "balance" in the dog. I believe he recommends 25% raw with 75% kibble. It has been so long I have forgotten for sure but I think that is right.
I noticed you are from Warwick; T.O. is available in many of our holistic shops in Warwick. There is also a wonderful T.O. distributor right in Warwick if you want to buy in bulk. ;-)

Lipomas
« Result #5 on Aug 14, 2007, 8:25am »

Hi all,
Sharon, what is your take on benign lipomas? Leave them alone unless they interfere w/ the dogs movement or are painful? Are there any non-invasive alternatives to try to shrink existing ones & prevent new ones? Thanks!

Thank you, Sharon!!

Sharon, I see not too many people get on the message list as of late, but I just had to take a minute to thank you! :-*

The Menu Foods pet food recall has been devastating to many pet owners, with the worst case scenerio of losing their beloved pets by feeding them something they considered healthy and right.

Thank you so much for all the work you do, literally testing our dogs and cats, making sure that you recommend the best food, either raw or kibble, that we can afford. I'm sure many of us on this list that have taken your advice have not been affected in the least with this horrible situation.

Thanks for taking the time and effort to research each and every thing that you recommend for our furry friends.

Paula, Dixie, Chill & Scarlet

I worry about the long term effects of phenobarbital as well, especially to the liver, so i always put them on lots of liver support, and whatever else they test for.

ok, thanks. He is currently on a low dose of phenobarbital which has greatly reduced the frequency & duration of the episodes, I just have concerns abut long-ter, effects.
