Comment on Probiotics for Dogs by Teri

Good for you pet photography, the best food to give your dog is a probiotic and Activia is great for people and pets. The digestive system is so important for getting nutrients for your dog and its very soothing. My dog gets yogurt each morning with low fat cottage cheese mixed with flax seed oil for the skin and coat. It is a breakfast for champions.

Thanks for your comment.

Comment on Training Agressive Dogs-Part 2 Michael Vick by Teri

Dear Sharon: It sounds like your young pup needs some good training and its hard to say what training you have started with him but he is at the right age for basic training. Either enroll him into a training school near you or start the process yourself. Do this as soon as possible Sharon – get a good training book and start with basic commands, sit, stay, fetch. You must teach the dog that you are the leader of the pack -not him. Teach him not to attack your other dogs by standing between the dogs and him. I am sure you can put some effort into training it will stop the aggressive behavior. Also buy some melatonin at your local health food store, it calms a dog naturally and is not a drug. Hope this helps your situation -but training for any breed of dog is very necessary if they are all to exist in the same household.

Comment on Why Would I want BHT in my Dog Food? by Teri

The best dog food contains no chemical additives and is not bought from your local Wal-Mart or even Petsmart. Organic dog food can be purchased on the internet or at an organic dog food store. Check the internet for your local pet “Health Food Store” and ensure it is organic. That is what this website is all about -feeding your dog natural and unprocessed foods. Find a local butcher -buy off the nearest organic farm in your area. You can also make your own healthy dog food by using a formula of your own. 60 percent protein (either chicken, fish or beef, or lamb ) 20 percent grains, and 20 percent vegetables is a healthy mix.
Hope this helps you with some good ideas.

I agree, great post… thank you so much for the input. It’s so helpful when you just want to help your children. (dogs) I too, have dogs that scratch and one of them was about losing fur, and I changed the food, and give them Activia everyday. They love it!

Comment on Melatonin for Dogs by Teri

Teri — Sun, 21 Feb 2010 20:34:31 +0000

This was answered by email however we will just post a quick response, the effects vary from one dog to another but you can keep the reference as to the dog’s size as a guide. Test it on the weekends when you are home and can check on your dog. Also consider if it is possible to visit your dog or have someone visit during the day that can take the dog for a walk, perhaps a relative of yours. Mostly my dog sleeps when I am away and yes melatonin will work to keep them relaxed without drugs. Hope you can use this information, let us know the results when you can. Thanks, Doghealth1.com

Comment on Melatonin for Dogs by Leilani

If anyone still checks this site, I’d like to know how long the effects last. I’d like to find something for my 3.5 year old shepherd mix, Amber. I just moved and started a new job and I’m getting complaints from my new neighbors about her barking all day. Amber has had separation anxiety in the past so it doesn”t surprise me that a move and new routine would upset her. I can’t afford doggie day care right now, but I also can’t afford to let my neighbors get too angry that they might report me. Would melatonin help her for a 6-7 hour work day?

Comment on More Hidden Drugs in Your Dog’s Drinking Water by John Cowburn

Dogs like humans need clean water for good health, they suffer in the same way if there toxins or drugs in the water. The government doesn’t care so we need to take action ourselves. As advised use filtered water but take care not to remove the good minerals naturally present in water.
