    Feeding raw vs dry food

    So the ultrasound showed just a little sludge in the gallbladder and we will repeat it after 6 months to see if worse/same( she is 9 years old). Blood results came back normal. The vet's advice for now is, only keep feeding low fat kibble and do regular ultrasounds. I hope for the best.

    Feeding raw vs dry food

    I'm interested how better for Shelties with gallbladder mucocele (gbm) was feeding raw food insted of dry food? My vet who feeds raw said she doesn't think raw food helps because it is difficult to keep the low fat diet. Meanwhile my dog breeder said she thinks it is way better. But her dogs are...

    When to retire?

    I forgot there is also the A0 category where there are only jumps and tunnels and jumps are put on 10 or 15cm. Anyway we never did much competitions. Maybe 1 to 2 in a year and also our trainings are 3 to 4x in a month and in the summer and winter we have no trainings for 2 months. At trainings...

    When to retire?

    Seems like yesterday when I was asking you and deciding if a sheltie is the dog for me. And now my girl will be 9 years old in May:eek2:. My other dog will be 8 years old in the summer. So anyway the sport we do is agility. They are in excellent shape no limping problems ecc But I was wondering...

    Overweight

    Oh thanks to all for your answers. My dogs never tried green beans so I hope they will eat it. I see some of you use canned beans some raw I will need to try which they prefer.They do like fresh carrots. How do you know how much of veggies to add? Do you weight it?

    Overweight

    So my sheltie needs to loose some weight and after reading different things I'm confused if to use diet foods or it is also ok to feed 'normal' food just give her 15 to 10% less kibble. I don't know if it is good to have a dog on diet food all her life. Right now she is eating N&D weight...

    To spay or not to spay now given the New Findings

    The changes I saw after my sheltie was spayed are: more coat, she doesn't want to play with other new dogs anymore. But despite this life is so much more easy with a spayed/neutered dog. My first dog was a male and he got his appointment after lifting the leg on the bedroom door. After that he...

    spay incontinence?!

    So at the vet we decided we will just give her antibiotics and some other herb medicine good for the bladder. We would need to put her in 'sleep mode' to get the urine sample out but we decided not to do it because she doesn't cope good with anestetics. Her breathing goes off and I didn't want...
