    Joint Supplement Recommendations

    Hello, My male is 9 and in excellent health, but I've noticed that sometimes after lying down for a long time, he winces when trying to get on his feet. Any suggestions about joint supplements that have worked for your Newfies? Thank you! Scott

    2 dogs vs. 1?

    Furminator or ?

    Hello, I have a 3 year old male and this is my first Spring with him. He is blowing his coat. What is the best tool to help get all of that undercoat out. I bought a Furminator, the one for giant breeds, long hair. I know they're great for shorter coats, but I'm not convinced that it's the...
