So...after a commenter here at MyCorgi.com suggested conferring with a "holistic" vet, I googled "<same>" and discovered one such person at the mega-commercial-vet that is the legacy of my old friend, now retired, and all-around great vet and redneck good-ole-boy, Jerry Jenkins. Who'd've thunk it? Jerry's veterinary empire is right down the road, as opposed to halfway across the city where I've been schlepping Cassie and now, New Pup.

Well. It was off to…

Knowing that I will be bringing home my first PWC pup in about two months, I am

starting to test the waters to figure out what kind of food to feed. I am a big

fan of Blue Buffalo. My cat has been on it for years and all of my coworkers

feed Blue with great success.



I was looking at either the Freedom or

Basics "lines" that Blue has to offer. Freedom is grain free and Basics is a

limited ingredient food.



Also, I know there are varying opinions on…

So, after a few bouts of bloody poop and vomiting and blood and fecal tests our vet has returned a presumed diagnosis of low grade, recurrent pancreatitis. I say presumed as the blood test and the symptoms point towards this being the problem, however the fecal tests, which were taken when Potus was feeling okay as his bouts have not been frequent enough, thankfully, for us to have gotten a sample of his bloody poo, could not 100% confirm the diagnosis.

Nonetheless we are going…

   I finally received pictures from the breeder of the puppies! I have had my email up constantly on my computers for the past week waiting for this. I was surprised that all the puppies appear to be black-headed tris. There are two in particular that caught my interest and they are both males! I'm just waiting for Joe to get home from work to get his opinion :) Obviously the final decision won't be made until I meet the little buggers in person and get a feel for their personality. Five…

I've never had my own dog before, so I'm trying to compile as much information as I can before our little corgi comes home in July! If I'm missing anything, pleaaase let me know!

Supplies

• Crate (life stage 36 wire crate or a 36 plastic airline approved crate)
• Homemade enzyme cleaner
• Food
• Toys (chew toys, Kongs, squeaky toys,…

After seeing all of the past and recent dog food recalls I am considering making homemade food for Chase. I have been feeding Chase Blue Buffalo Freedom, which has not been recalled recently. However, I don't think I could feed Chase kibble with confidence anymore. I have not seen where and how this food is made and I honestly believe that no one cares about Chase's health more than I do, so why shouldn't I be directly responsible for feeding him CLEAN, HEALTHY food?

I have been doing a…

We adopted a rescue several months back. Things have been going really well. The only issued we have now, is Bud eating too fast.

He scarfs his food so quickly that he regularly begins to choke. He often won’t wait to stop chocking before he resume eating.  ARG!

I began researching slow down bowls. Most of the reviews said that they worked great until the dog figured out how to tip the bowl and dump out the food.

I began  to think of alternatives. At first I…

I have to share this product with you guys! I believe it was a huge factor to my girl's quick recovery from an dog attack that landed her in ICU for 2 days and in a cone and rest for 3 weeks. The images of the injury are pretty graphic so here's the link https://picasaweb.google.com/114496480725773812681/November12011?authuser=0&feat=directlink  2 vets told us she would need…

So I got in the mail this weekend my quarterly "Chuck and Don's Bark n Mews" from the Chuck and Don's Pet Food Outlet store (love this place). 

I went through the ads and pulled a few of them I thought would work nicely. I ended up pulling up a "2 Free 13.2oz Lotus Canned Dog Food" coupon and grabbed up the "Chicken and Asparagus Stew" since I figured it would be easier on my dog's digestion.

Here is the run down on the ingredients:

First 5: Chicken, Chicken…

Bento has been with us for 1 week, and he's without a doubt, an awesome corgi.

So far, he loves peanut butter.  Nothing gets his furry butt wagging more than a puppy kong with peanut butter. 

He's also very fond of Bil-Jac and Train Me treats.  We cut them in half and use them as rewards for his training. Unfortunately, too many of these treats make his poop gooey.  Must be the higher fat content.  Which is why we switched over to Natural Balance Duck and…

Ein eats radishes. Just curious

Hmmmm… how do I start this. I guess with a short story about a comment that was made to us when we were at the beach with Soffie and Griffyn last week. A man on the beach with his dog inquired to us as to what breed of dogs we had. When we told him Pembroke Welsh Corgis he replied… Really?? Aren’t they usually FAT?!!!

Sad but true I’m afraid…. So I am going to post a…

Tuesday night we had our 1st class. Chloe seemed to pick it right up, me I need to practice.

The instructor has us reward with food. She recommends hot dogs.

Chloe is not food agressive with us, but with other dogs around she can be quite competive and not nice to her classmates.

How do you get the dog to not be food agressive to other dogs??
