    Lentils and peas in dogs diet?

    Hmm. Not that I ever heard. I feed them all the time. However, at one point some vets were trying to associate lentils, peas and other pulses/legumes with heart dis-ease in dogs. Often these were found in the "evil" grain free dog foods. Our good friend Nicci has quite a bit to say about...

    Potty bell?

    Yes, for many dogs. Just ring the bell whenever you go out. I also like naming everything for Maya (some dogs can learn thousands of words). So perhaps say "potty" when you ring the bell to take him out to poop or pee. And try to take him out to the same potty spot each time.

    Cable runner with pulley?

    If you sit outside with him while he is on the line, it's fine. I use a 30 foot leash and just let Maya wander anywhere within 30 feet of where I'm sitting (on the ground!).

    Food transition for 13 year old dog

    Good catch! That's because Sage knows to give you the most conservative way to start with any diet transition. Every home-prepared diet needs to be balanced. That is, if you are only using one recipe for long periods of time, e.g meat/poultry/fish + veggies in a slow cooker. Here's one example...

    Ondansetron for antinausea for Bella (feline with CKD)

    Hey Daysha! Thank you for continuing to support Bella and Maya on their journeys home. I agree! Regarding the meds, do they work to decrease her nausea? Have you seen them cause her to become constipated. If not, don't worry about what Dr. Goggle says Check with Sage (the HA! AI concierge)...

    Food transition for 13 year old dog

    Hi Debbie- Thanks for making your first post about Belle. Ideally, yes. Onto a fresh (not ultra processed) food. Yes! Whatever works best for you and her. Perhaps crock pot (low and slow cooking) meals based on sardines or salmon (which are "coincidentally" the foods my own kitty is eating...

    Dog has pyoderma on belly

    After taking her out and playing, how's her itch level on a 0-10 scale?

    Dog has pyoderma on belly

    Great question. 1. Hot compress the pustule 2-3x a dy. 2. Maximize her outside time. Especially focusing on joyful activities, rolling in the dirt, playing, etc. 3. Consider starting to work, preventively, on Ellie's internal energetic balance. It sounds like it's currently still very good...

    Elder dog teeth chattering

    Welcome Marshal! It's great to see you here again. 😍 I agree, all around with Dr. Jean, Ginny, and the great observation you made with Boone! You have identified a great homeopathic "modality". If this symptom persists, becomes more problematic, or if his BEAM drops in any way, plwaase let...

    Dog Has Bumps on Chest, Skin Allergies & Luxating Patella

    Hey Nikolina! Thanks so much for making the post about Ellie. As I mentioned when we spoke, you're doing lots of great stuff for her. And yes, the underlying "cause" for the skin bums is the super important question. And her BEAM and quality of life is most important. The underlying...
