    Fluoxetine (Doggy Prozac)

    We started our 4 yr old male rescue McGee on fluoxetine this weekend. He takes three pills per day. The Vet warned it could cause vomiting or lessen his appetite. He needs to lose weight so maybe that's not bad. He's 3 days in and while we wanted it to take the edge off of his anxiety and...

    Green Beans

    Saw an article about green beans being legumes on a Holistic Newf FB page. It was a long article but basically saying they weren't healthy. I am using them twice daily to try to get our 3 yr old Male to loose some weight. I need to measure him to see his height but I know he weighs 142 and we...

    Incurin Shortage

    Our 4 yr old Newf takes Incurin (estrogen) for spay incontinence. We found out today that this medication is back ordered until after the first of the year. The Vet is prescribing an alternate med but the google search that I did this afternoon only brings up several alternatives - DES and...

    Switching Pet Insurance (Rant)

    I have just about had it with our Pet insurance. They were bought out after we got it and they promised the same service/quality. They are not living up to their promise. We fill out a claim, get a Vet Declaration and a copy of the receipt. After sending initial medical records the monthly...

    Our 3 1/2 female Newf Ziva has normally been a picky eater. We bought some new treats and she is the only one of the 3 who will eat them. The other two take them and spit them out. She snarfs them up! I thought bonus for her she gets more treats. Then I started thinking and her eating...

    Does Your Newf Care About Walk Locations?

    During the week my Husband walks our 3 dogs mid-day. He has several locations he takes them to for a leashed walk or if he's pressed for time he just walks around our neighborhood. Now that the days are getting longer I take one or two of the youngest dogs (the Newfs) for a 2nd walk around our...

    Full Pants and Feathers

    We have two Newfs who are family companions not show dogs so I wonder if having long and full pants and feathers is really necessary? Our female is three years young and never got an adult type long coat. She has curly fur that never mats. I love it even though it isn't the typical Newf look...

    What do you think? (kind of long)

    We have 3 dogs and 3 cats. One of the cats (Ducky) thinks he's a dog and likes to hang out with the dogs. He sleeps on their beds - with or without them. He drinks out of their water dish, uses their doggie door and comes to the kitchen to be fed with them for meals and treats. The other two...
