    Sadie Turns 11 Years Old

    Haven't been on this site in awhile myself. Sorry you are going through this with your girl. I am going through a cancer related issue with with my girl as well and the deciding what to is gut wrenching. I hope you were able to make a decision that you were comfortable with.

    What is your dogs' favorite snacks?

    My Kanga's life revolves around food. I think it is her reason for living. We buy PupCorn mostly, but she will eat literally any food.

    How about a stupid customer story

    Yeah, that's pretty stupid. I hope she apologizes at some point.

    A little background- Adopted our girl at 18 months, spayed at 20 months. She is now a little over 3. Is extremely energetic, and has been exceptionally healthy. The past 3 weeks has had a few episodes of incontinence while sleeping or resting. She gets up and there's a small puddle there. It's...

    Suddenly chewing, "starving", food change?

    We've had our 21 month old girl since May. She was on Purina Pro Plan Sport when we got her. Did have occasional loose poops, and after I was using cooked chicken as treats, had diarrhea. I figured she had a sensitivity to chicken. Since the Pro Plan was chicken based, I gradually switched food...

    Extreme dryer phobia!!!

    Well, I bought a K-9 III, and Kanga has an extreme fear of it. She is 18 months old, came from a breeder, has been groomed before and the breeder doesn't recall any problems. We tested it out on the deck on low, she struggled to get away and I blew her coat for maybe 60 seconds. I put her on a...

    Crate and an older Newf

    First of all, this is my second Newf, and I feel like a newbie all over again. Kanga is 18 months old. We have had her for a week and a half, and things are going beautifully, except......she is increasingly unhappy sleeping in the crate at night. She was crate trained at the breeder, but she...

    Dryer advice

    What would you recommend for a dryer that I would use to blow out my girl's coat, look for ticks, and dry her after playing in a kiddie pool etc? I will be taking her the same groomer as my other Newf, so I would not be using it for an after bathing dryer. I know people recommend the K 9 II or...

    Collar help

    I have arthritis in my fingers and I'm having trouble working with a Lupine martingale collar. Our trainer said we had it too loose, and it has to be put on, then tightened. With my arthritis it is very difficult for me to do this. Is there a Martingale collar that would be easier to loosen and...

    Newfies, stairs and arthritis

    I had posted previously that we lost our Keira back in October. We are planning on getting another Newfie, but don't want to bring one home until the summer, when I am off. My husband is retiring in December, so there could be a few months where we'll have to figure something out. (He has...

    Keira 1/25/04-10/15/13

    Sadly, we had to help our girl across the Rainbow Bridge on 10/15/13. I had posted previously on a problem with an infection in her paws. This turned out to be the tip of the iceberg and within a few days her elbows, under her chin, and groin area were all infected. It was at first thought to be...

    Infection between toes

    I feel like a stupid mommy. My 9 3/4 old girl seemed to be slowing down. She had been diagnosed with severe osteoarthritis on her lower spine. I thought it was getting worse. A couple days ago, she really started smelling, like really gross. I thought it was an infected anal gland, or another...

    Eating issues after antibiotics

    My 9 1/2 year old girl had to go on antibiotics for a skin issue after we tried everything to avoid it. The vet wasn't sure what it was, and there was nothing to scrape, but the antibiotics cleared it up. Was on them for 4 weeks, was fine for the first 2 weeks, then started not wanting to eat...

    Precise Holistic Complete, so far, so good

    I have to first say I do not sell this stuff, and I am just passing this along because it worked so well for my girl and I saw almost no posts about this dog food on Newfnet. Long story short, my girl has had a lot of skin issues, did OK with Eagle Pack Holistic and Blue Buffalo grain free, but...
