GSD won’t eat from a bowl.

Michele — Fri, 23 Dec 2011 17:36:32 +0000

Hello. I have a 14 month old GSD male. He’s not neutered (although he will be soon). He’s, within the last month or two, decided to stop eating from his bowl. He’s barely eating one meal a day. We’ve tried switching foods and that hasn’t worked either. He’ll only eat if he can knock his food out of his bowl, which is now impossible since we put it in a flat-based bowl. I was wondering if you’ve ever heard of this. If so, what can I do?

Crate Training

Fri, 23 Dec 2011 17:35:51 +0000

I am hoping to adopt a rescue dog in the near future and someone has lent me a crate. I’ve had dogs in the past (long time ago) but this will be my first time using a crate. Other than bedtime and when we have to go out without the dog, are there times the dog should be in her crate?

Dog Adjusting to Moving

Gary — Tue, 16 Aug 2011 13:56:45 +0000

I’m not sure if this is the place to ask these types of questions. If not, I would appreciate if you could direct me to a more appropriate forum.

I currently live in a house with 2 Labs. They were raised as mostly outdoor dogs but come inside in the evenings and sleep in their crates.

I’m in the process of moving and I’ll be moving to a 1 bedroom apartment. It’s a pretty decent sized apartment though. I have made sure the community has an area for me to take the dogs outside to play and I was lucky to find an apartment with a small fenced yard. I’m wondering how the dogs might handle this change in environment and if I’m doing a bad thing by putting them in a small environment. How can I help them adjust to the new place?

yeast infection

Garnet Phillips — Sun, 23 Jan 2011 21:08:58 +0000

I have a 2 year old beagle that has chronic yeast infection in his ears and in the pads of his feet. Recently he is developing it in his eyes. I have tried all kinds of different diets and nothing has worked. His last visit to the vet he said that it is probably a compromised immune system.Does anybody have any suggestions or has maybe had this same problem with their dog?
