    1-1/2 yr GoldenRetriever in heat cycle

    Thank you—good advice! I’ll keep her close and in our yard until I’m sure that she’s past the fertile period. We are waiting because the breeder feels that it helps them with issues (hormonal, cancer, etc) in addition to growing ((better bone structure, etc)).

    1-1/2 yr GoldenRetriever in heat cycle

    Hi I have a specific question related to the heat cycle….Sophie has not bled in a few days. I think that this is the time that she is most fertile. Does anyone know how long this lasts in general? She’s doing fine, I’ve been keeping her on a leash and I’m out backyard as I don’t want her to...

    Underweight Golden Retriver on raw diet?

    Thank you Dr Jeff: I think I’m not measuring BEAM as I should….I’ll look into that. I appreciate the suggestion about the organ meats and the farmhounds site—I’ll definitely add some to her diet.

    Underweight Golden Retriver on raw diet?

    One more thing to add to the above list that I forgot to share. I mentioned this to Dr Jeff….she has the habit of eating her poop. I understand that there are a variety of reasons but one of them, could be that she’s not getting enough nutrients from what I’ve read. This is Not a new...

    Underweight Golden Retriver on raw diet?

    Hi, My Golden Retriever, Sophie, 17 months old, seems to be underweight. I’m not sure what her weight is now, last time at the vet she was 65lbs. Though you can see her ribs and she’s quite thin. Her BEAM seems very good to me, though behavior wise, she is eating sticks in out backyard when...

    8-1/2 month golden retriever in season for first time

    Hello, I’m wondering if anyone can tell me what would be expected in terms of how long the heat cycle will last, what if anything I can do to support our puppy? I’ve only owned male dogs in the past so this is new for me. Overall, Sophie seems fine, though a bit more withdrawn….She has light...

    Dog was excited about raw food, last two days, not eating it.

    Hi Dr Sara: Thank you—I appreciate your suggestions. We won’t give the kibble but got her done of the “gently cooked” food that she loved prior to starting the raw diet. As for your suggestions about the Ledum, I was going to follow Dr Jean’s protocol that suggested icing the area, using...

    Dog was excited about raw food, last two days, not eating it.

    If she is eating other things, would you think that it would be ok to get her the shot in a couple of days? I’m really at a loss as to what to do but will mention delaying the shot to the breeder, though I don’t believe that she’ll allow us to leave the dog with her without it.

    Dog was excited about raw food, last two days, not eating it.

    I’d like to delay the shot, am going awsy and the breeder is asking for proof of the vaccine. I just gave her some of the kibble I had since there was nothing else. She ate it right away….And yes, we are going away this week. She is staying with the breeder…..Thank you!

    Dog was excited about raw food, last two days, not eating it.

    Hi I’m wondering if you can help me. My Golden, Sophie was started on raw food as per your suggestions. She’s had OC Raw lamb….The first week, she loved it and was so excited to eat it. I made this switch as Dr Jeff felt it would be helpful especially as she is supposed to get her first...

    Started Young Dog on Raw Diet

    Thank you, Ginny….I have followed an intermittent fasting diet myself for quite some time, didn’t realize that it would make sense for Sophie, too. I appreciate your advice on getting rid of the kibble, and not worrying about “germs.” I really appreciate it.

    Started Young Dog on Raw Diet

    Hello, we finally started Sophie on raw food. We were advised by the owner of the health food store to gradually introduce it, so we’re in the process of weaning her from a high quality kibble, which I know that sounds like an oxymoron….Anyway, we have noticed some more energy in Sophie, and an...

    How does I give raw food to dog when I’m so anxious about it’s “rawness”?!

    Hi Dr Jean: Thank you for your explanation—I didn’t think about the idea that her mouth is full of bacteria anyway….I can certainly try to blanch the meat, too. I bought a raw food by OC raw, from the pet health store near my house in CT. They told me that even in comparison to the organic...
