So, Chappie has never been a big eater, but we got him on nutrience sub zero kibble. Guess what company changed the kibble size and made it bigger? Guess which dog won't eat it anymore? Lol we have tried all the nutrience pretty much, and the acana that he can eat. And nothing. Right now we...

So, Astrid has stained my sheets. Apparently pushing the bath two days was a bad idea lol new food makes her so dirty, but it fixed everything else. Merg. She's off the gastro one and onto a calorie one now so hopefully that switch helps :) My sheets have been washed twice and treated with two...

Hi! Since Astrid is now on a diet, she has certain times she likes her food now. So to keep this when my school schedule changes, I am looking into an automatic portion/feeder that allows me to pick times for four meals, and measures in tablespoons. Would love some suggestions! My budget is...

Hi everyone, very new here! I'm writing today because I lost my baby to HCM and congestive heart failure last month. From the time symptoms began to show it was too late for medications to even give him a small chance. 10 frightening days passed until he went to sleep forever. He was only 9...

So, the vet wants Astrid to eat wet food 1-2 times a week just incase she ever has kidney problems and that is all she can eat. He's had too many cats refusing to eat so he rather get all kitties used to it just to be safe. I have tried three different meats so far (salmon, venison and...

hi guys! Just out of curiosity have any of you gone from dry food to a raw diet? Our guy is a rescue and he came eating dry food but has become intolerant to his sensitive biscuits. Does anyone know if a raw diet is better for a sensitive belly and if it sorts out the loose bowels ect? His...
