I just returned from a new vet in Maryland. While there I was more or less forced to purchase "Interceptor" and "Frontline". At first, I had explained in detail, I had been an owner of pomeranians for over 13 years with no problems reguarding parasites of any kind. My vet then informed...

Hi Jeani, this is unfortunately a common problem. The good news is that your vet is right and there's nothing physically wrong with her; the better news is that she will most likely outgrow it; and the best news is that you certainly can do something about it. Your vet is also correct that behavior...

Venison and rabbit are possibiities; also bison, elk, ostrich or emu are sometimes available at stores like Whole Foods. I don't especially like lamb because it's too fatty. Chicken, beef, fish, eggs and dairy are all common allergens, as are wheat and corn. You could try one of the pre-made...

Have you used conventional or natural flea & tick products with your dog? There are pros and cons to each type of treatment approach, and many people are not familiar with natural alternatives to Frontline, Advantix, and other chemical products, and also may not know of the health risks that come...
