Baloo is a wonderful newf, sweet as syrup until it is time to trim nails and feet. It has become much worse as he has become a senior as a matter fact I am not able to do it nor is really anyone in our house. We took him too the vet but they literally had to have two grown man tackle, muzzle...

Since I last posted about Baloo's elbows a rather yucky development has occurred--It now has yellow crusties that are drying on his fur:( They seem warm and swollen too.(elbows) Coincidentally and mind you I don't believe in coincidences;) He has been fighting with hotspots on his tummy and...

A while back Baloo's Elbows had these dry, crusted but not weeping or any color to them callous on his elbows. I can't think what they are called. Well they didn't really bother him, and now he's about three yrs older, at about 8.5 and they are really starting to be kinda of gross looking...

Oh happy dance:groovy: :groovy: --I finally found a high quality wet dog food to use as a topper that doesn't have wheat, corn, soy or by products in it:D It's Wellness Turkey Duck Stew, Turkey Turkey stew, Lamb stew. Baloo Loves the ones he's tasted thus far--and as a bonus I can make a pill...

Today's Baloo's Birthday! :groovy: :groovy: I can't believe that it has been 8 years since this black and white wiggley angel came into our lives. Not a day goes by that he doesn't make us laugh! He is the reason I smile, he is my heart and soul and I am so very blessed to have him. This is...

I was sitting on the couch and Baloo was laying in front of me on the floor on top of my feet this is one of his favorite places to hang out.. He was sleeping when all of the sudden he flew up off the floor like someone set his tail on fire and walked around the room with his head down, looking...

This is the URL for a web page that reviews most dog foods(most stages of life), dry and wet, raw, and some organic brands. Very nice information:) http://www.dogfoodadvisor.com/dog-food-reviews/wysong-dog-food-optimal-performance/

I just ordered some Cordellia Big dog Shampoo, whoowho! I can't wait for it to get here so I can try it on my dirty boy--(who found every water feature along our walk yesterday) My question is this, I didn't see any conditioner, Baloo's coat tends to be a bit dry, I usually use Paul Mitchell...

So I think Baloo should do a commercial for Chobani yogurt. I had heard it was really good so I brought some. I have to say it is quite yummy! I Took it out and Baloo was excited before I opened the wrapper--could he really smell that yogurt?? Anyway I put some in a bowl for me and gave him...

I trimmed behind Baloo's ears yesterday--he had a lot of new growth in the actual ear. I put some cotton ball in his ear to black his ear canal and trimmed up the excess hair with my good clippers. It looked really good, and he didn't move around, everything seemed fine. We were horsing...

I was wondering if anyone feeds their newfs Wellness Core lowfat version kibble? I have fed this to Baloo for about 4 yrs with no problems(except that it is so expensive at almost $70.00 for a 26 lbs! ) Baloo is allergic to corn and sensitive to wheat. What I'm wondering is if over time low...

I happened to come up with an idea for a new category or topic..Not sure where to put this so I thought I would try here. I had posted a thread about pain relief on the maladies and disease forum and was happily surprised by the amount of newfies that were 10 yrs old> It would be fun to talk...

Hello there, I have an almost 8 yr old newfy boy Baloo that is taking prevacoix for arithritis, hip displasia pain. My question is does anyone know how long of pain relief this gives in a day. For ex. is it 4 hrs or 8 hrs? Baloo is on 227 mg tabs and takes a tab and half each day. I think he...

This is for a non-newf but for my mom's special fur girl Reba(springer age 13) Reba has congestive heart failure and is on medication doing pretty well. She was eating dry food from S/D for heart and kidney disease--but she has lost so many teeth it has become quite a problem and she isn't...
