My bully is also 7! We use Earthbath shampoo. I'd recommend these Keto-C Antiseptic wipes if he has any skin fold irritation. You might want to try a fish oil to add to his food; that should help his hair and they just love it. My pup has some arthritis and hip dysplasia, so we give him a glucosamine/chondroitin supplement. He has a bit of a grain sensitivity so he eats Rachel Ray Just Six. I keep Benadryl on hand (vet approved) because it helps when he gets seasonal allergies. Get some dog toothpaste and a brush; it really does help. My pup loves any kind of dental bones, also. Keep an eye out for a head tilt or unusual ear wax/discharge as bullies can be prone to ear infections. Make sure he wears a harness (we've used a cheap roman harness for years but recently got this harness) and take good care of his neck- my boy has recently been dealing with a prolapsed intervertebral disk, which is caused by normal play like tug of war and fetch, jumping off the couch, going up and down stairs, and generally having a huge head. So now we play very carefully, carry him on stairs, and have him on an anti-inflammatory. He uses a raised feeding dish to prevent strain. We also put a little tennis ball in his food to make him eat slowly (he has a tendency to eat too fast and throw up). I use Argan oil and petroleum jelly on his nose when it gets dry.
I'm sure he'll let you know his taste in treats and toys soon, but my buddy likes antler chews, Busy Bones, and all stuffed animals. Rawhides make him throw up. Congratulations and good luck!

Hey Metamorphosis348, I heard many conflicting things about puppy food when I got my little Great Dane named Crowley.

He is our first puppy, so i did a lot of extensive research. The amount of conflicting points is crazy.

There are certain nutrients you need as a puppy, but most puppy mixes have a high protein(35-50%) and/or Fat(20-25%) content, which can be bad for Great Dane Growth.

The Best Compromise I could find was this type from Blue Buffalo. 26% Protein and 15% Fat.

When I went to Petco to find some chow for Crowley, I had a little notebook with 2 pages filled with ingredients that should be avoided. This one fit the bill the best, and Crowley seems to love it!

And no, Crowley doesnt have mange, he was the runt of the litter(of 3) and his brother and sister played hard with him. It is clearing up nicely.

And Yes I copied and pasted this from another post of mine

u/lunabonamour · 5 pointsr/shiba

If you use the search bar on the right and search new puppy, puppy list, shopping list, you'll find a lot of good stuff. Here's one old post with a list here's another and a super detailed list in the comments.

In response to those lists, I second the no need for puppy pee pads (shibas potty train quickly but do get something to remove the scent if they do pee in the house, nature's secret etc.).

I would add a toothbrush and toothpaste to that list. Get them used to the toothbrush early on even though they'll lose those puppy teeth eventually. Ditto getting them used to the harness.

We never had a play pen and didn't miss one.

I also recommend shopping on amazon for pretty much anything (petco etc. are always far more expensive but we do go to them occasionally with our shiba as a fun outing or to grab a last minute toy or treat).

Start with small bags of treats and not the giant ones in case your pup doesn't like them and since they'll be eating fewer and they might go stale before you finish them. We try to opt for the highest quality ingredients/most natural food and treats which is totally affordable if you hit amazon.

Specific items: Kong zoom groom brush (gentle but works well), midwest life stages crate (grows with dog, durable), traditional kong, kong wobbler (later added a kong genius as well), whatever random stuffed toys you like (still haven't found something that can survive more than a few days with our shiba) for food we used this wellness puppy food which includes salmon and have since graduated to their adult food alternated with costco's salmon dog food.

You'll definitely need something for them to chew (and chew, and chew), ours had some nylabone chew toys but was never interested in them. Loved bully sticks and rawhide though, just be sure again to check the ingredients, you want american unbleached rolls and not the sheets made of lots of little pieces.

u/CapSteveRogers · 2 pointsr/CFBOffTopic

I switched Stitch immediately to Wellness Core Grain Free Puppy when I first got him. If you do switch, add some pumpkin to it.

Also, the Wellness Core Puppy is a bit expensive, but I figured you'd want the best for your puppy. But there's also Blue Buffalo Grain Free Puppy, which is about $10 cheaper than the Wellness. I've heard great things about both Blue Buffalo and Wellness Core.

u/Dj_Bleezy · 2 pointsr/Assistance

OMG I am so glad I came across this and I hope you still have food to offer. My baby's name is Gracie and she is 6 years old. She is a doberman and I believe she has a little rottweiler in her possibly. I'd love to show you pics if interested :)

The thing is I have been in a huge rough patch for a while and am currently unemployed and fixing to be homeless probably in a month, maybe 2 if im lucky. I am barely able to feed myself right now let alone my dog, although I make sure she eats before me. I got extremely lucky a couple months ago and found this amazing deal at this food bank I go to, they had cases of nutro wet dog food for $3 a case of 12 which is AMAZING. The cans usually run about $2-$2.5 each. Needless to say I had to buy as many as I could which was 10-15 or so cases. I am just about out now and am really needing a bag of dry food for her, it would mean the absolute world to Gracie and myself if you were able to order her some food so she doesn't go hungry during this struggle we are enduring.

If I am lucky enough to receive any help this is the food I feed her, though I will take anything if this is too expensive. Thank you for reading this.

u/grapefruitdressgrape · 1 pointr/chinesecrested

My boy is 18 months old and is prone to clogged pours/black heads on his hindquarters. What has been working best for us is a once a week bath with warm water and a luffa. I use this shampoo and it seems to be working great for us. Smells wonderful as well. Looking forward to seeing more pics of beautiful pup. :)


edit: also, ive found keeping the little bit of hair he does have on his hindquarters as short as possible helps with skincare.

u/DrSwizzle · 1 pointr/dogs

I have a dachshund that does this sometimes. I started mixing in a tablespoon of wet dog food with his kibble and now have no problems. I just keep the can in the fridge, takes us about 4-5 days per can. Got one of those can saver lid things to pop on the top.

Used to buy Nutro from PetSmart but now I now buy I&love&you brand from amazon, natural ingredients, smells like human food. Lol! Decently cost effective. Seems that he prefers purina salmon kibble with beef booyah stew the most... but then sometimes he’ll start refusing again and then I’ll switch up the wet food and he’s fine. Maybe he’s just bored with no variety? ¯_(ツ)_/¯ go figure.

u/michellie89 · 1 pointr/Random_Acts_Of_Amazon

Last year I found out that my pooch Finnley has ridiculous allergies, including being allergic to the cat! I'm also still trying to figure out how to settle his digestive issues. He's allergic to dry food and so I feed him a mixture of this canned food and chicken and veggies whenever I get a chance. As you can imagine it gets pricey having to buy him cans all the time (I usually feed him a can in the morning and one at night). I just had to get his yearly shots this month and of course they were all at once so that was a nice $300 bill. I love that guy to death and all I want for him is to be happy and comfortable. He's just been very expensive while I try to adjust his diet and allergies. It would be so nice to have a break on my pay check for one round! Also... his favorite ball bit the dust this morning so he is in need of a new one. He loves to herd it down the hallway and shake it about. It's the only one I can get him to play fetch with long enough to tire him out.

I think it is really great of you to do this! Thanks for hosting.

u/panniculus · 37 pointsr/femalefashionadvice

Here's what I've picked up for christmas gifts so far:

  • Husband: Nintendo Switch, Zelda and Mario; and a microwave popcorn popper with a variety of popcorn kernels
  • Mom: Kate Spade handbag from the surprise sale
  • Dad: Chipolo Classic 4-pack
  • Every parent and stepparent in my husband's family: 23 and me ancestry kits
  • Brother in law: Books (his request)
  • BFF: She requested bright, cute and practical kitchen accessories so I got her this sponge caddy, blue le creuset salt and pepper shakers (acquired locally), these tea bag holders, this cast iron trivet and this spoon rest.
  • Work friends: These are more like gag gifts that make more sense if you know the people-- but I got one guy a blind box from an aquarium-themed cat hat collection and another guy a fidget pen.
  • Dog themed secret santa: This was a pretty high budget exchange that I took part in this year. My recipient has a blind dog so I got her a snuffle mat, a giant bone and I found a company on aliexpress that literally has someone HAND-PAINT whatever image you want onto canvas and mail it to the US for like $20. So I ordered a painting of a modern pop art style greyhound. It hasn't arrived yet though.

    Still need to arrange a low budget work group secret santa, pick out some liquor for my boss, a nice candy set or something for some of our support staff downstairs and maybe something more personal for each of my in-laws-- I did find a beautiful painted glass Turkish bowl for my MIL but I'm at a loss for the others.
u/foxyfoursoxy · 2 pointsr/dogs

Grandma Lucy's

its dehydrated so you have to do a lil bit more prep than kibble but my dog loves it. it smells and looks really good too. Some days I'm pretty sure my dog eats better than I do.

u/dogoneright · 1 pointr/dogs

my advice here should be helpful https://www.reddit.com/r/dogs/comments/art6mh/help_my_dog_is_depressed_after_my_other_dog/egpxcom

Good for you about going to the vet first, they will be able to give you some advice and direction. After he gets the medical all clear, You can try adding some freeze dried additives or make his current food a 'stew' with some warm water. Canned Pumpkin (no sugar) and green beans (no added salt) also are a fantastic nutritional boost, digestive aid, and something else that may entice his appetite, as well as being safe for most dogs even with special diets, food allergies, or weight management.

u/orybory · 1 pointr/Dogtraining

I like using baby food, especially the kind that comes in squeeze pouches. Purina also makes something that's kind of similar that I've used before, but my dog doesn't seem to like them as much as literal baby food haha. It's nice because I can just stick the tube in my dog's mouth and kind of lead her along until we pass her anxiety trigger (strange men). Like, she's still concerned about them, but the food is too delicious and also RIGHT THERE and she's too busy licking to bark :D

It's not as messy (like grease on the hands) as hotdogs or rotisserie chicken unless I accidentally oversqueeze and squirt it everywhere, but I like to think of those moments as jackpot treating lol :P

Plus another pro is that you can cap it and stick it in the fridge. Usually a pouch will last me a week.

u/jay76 · 3 pointsr/Food_Pantry

Hey there. I'm willing to buy a bag of nutritious dog food to help your "number one fan" get by, but I didn't trust that Purina brand you had on your list.

I did a 5 min search online and found it didn't rate that highly on dogfoodadvisor.com (1/5 stars). If you throw something better on the list like the ones below, I'll gladly send some your way.

  • Orijen 6-Fish Grain-Free Dry Dog Food, 15.4lb (5 star)

  • Acana Grasslands Grain-Free Dry Dog Food, 15.4lb (5 stars)

  • Taste of the Wild Sierra Mountain Dog Food 30 lb (4.5 stars)

    The last one is slightly less of a quality brand, but for the price you can get twice as much. This is probably our best bet - the only questionable ingredient is tomato pomace, but how bad can that be?

    > Tomato pomace is a controversial ingredient, a by-product remaining after processing tomatoes into juice, soup and ketchup.

    > Many praise tomato pomace for its high fiber and nutrient content, while others scorn it as an inexpensive pet food filler.

    > Just the same, there’s probably not enough tomato pomace here to make much of a difference.


    Also, if there are any dog lovers out there who disapprove of these choices, please chime in!
u/dmacintyres · 1 pointr/Aquariums

I just used [these] (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B004HSOTZI/ref=cm_sw_r_other_awd_.5e7wb1SCEC35) for the food because I don't expect beginners to be feeding live foods or using expensive food tailored for every species in their tank.

But yes you're right! It's just for the one tank. Most people get multiple tank syndrome eventually but I figured it'd be unfair to start out with three 100 gallon tanks and only one dog lmao. Besides look at how much you can save every month by not getting one dog and you can save up enough to get your next tank in no time :)

u/sometimesineedhelp · 1 pointr/Frugal

I just looked up the item that makes prime "worth it to us" and I'm blown away because I looked it up on a browser I never "signed in" to, and instead of the "Prime logo" - I see "& FREE Shipping" since it's over $35... hmmmm.... order it 5-8 days sooner than I'll need it? Or keep prime?

Here's our item: http://www.amazon.com/Natural-Balance-Limited-Ingredient-Breeds/dp/B002VROXD0/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1394741877&sr=8-1&keywords=natural+balance+large+breed $44.95 and petco, and $36.58 at amazon... my dog eats 2 & 1/2 bags a month give or take, so that's $210 savings right there, not to mention our gas and time since the closest store that carries it is 14 miles away...

All natural, and Linus loooooves it. Pricey though.

I used to get him Royal Canin because thats what the breeder had him on, but since ive switched all his skin issues have gone away.

Unfortunately he already has a bald spot on his tail, and even the best food in the world wont fix that :(

u/jamisongiraffe13 · 1 pointr/puppy101

This is super helpful, thank you!

Answers:
I have no idea what he weight it, I don't own a scale but it's on my "to buy" list. Though I'd say she's probably around 25 pounds give or take.
Her body looks fine, probably a little skinny which is what prompted me to ask, but I can post a picture later for you to see.
And she's on Blue chicken and brown rice (Blue chicken and brown rice for puppies

u/Break1ngBad · 3 pointsr/RandomKindness

My husky is running low on food, and I have not been able to buy him enough due to me not making much at my UPS job.. It would be amazing if you can order this for him.. I would be grateful

http://www.amazon.com/Blue-Buffalo-Wilderness-Recipe-24-Pound/dp/B002ZNW346/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1319073001&sr=8-3

u/exin58 · 1 pointr/pitbulls

Nutrisca

Wellness Core and Blue Buffalo Wilderness are also good food.

> Note: The blue buffalo rocky mountain recipe version is crap, so make sure you buy the kind I linked.

For treats I give Petco brand bone strips ($10, lasts a month), double chews, BIXBI jerky, and Dogma Biscuits.

The running theme here is grain free, and made from ingredients that a human could consume. Further, the distribution of protein, carbs and fat is evenly distributed in appropriate ratios.

u/stars_do_not_shine · 2 pointsr/Chihuahua

My guy used to have small episodes and it really just came down to his blood sugar and how much he had eaten. I always have food out and supply some healthy treats. He's currently on Purina and doing great albeit the ridiculously high temperatures.

u/TannerBannerBaker · 1 pointr/goldenretrievers

I give my Golden Wilderness Blue Buffalo Large Breed
Our vet told us grain-free and large breed. So I researched popular choices for Goldens and that's what I found.

u/ScaryCookieMonster · 1 pointr/Greyhounds

We do Blue Buffalo Wilderness Grain Free Dry Dog Food, Duck Recipe. We picked this one because four of the first five ingredients are meat and it has no wheat, corn, or soy in it. When we first got her we went from Purina Pro Plan and then through a number of pet-store quality foods (like this one) to find one where she would eat it and her stool was healthy.

  • This is $50-$55 for a 24 lb. bag at the pet store (Petco or Pet Smart).

  • We feed her 1.5-2 cups per meal, twice a day. Sometimes we'll add about a tablespoon of cottage cheese or chopped boiled chicken, if she's getting bored with the food.

  • A bag of dry food normally lasts us about a month.
u/Microchimp · 1 pointr/BostonTerrier

This is what we've been feeding ours and he almost never farts anymore unless we feed him too many treats for being a good boy.

u/[deleted] · 2 pointsr/dalmatians

Royal Canin Dalmatian is great, but only when the dog is 14 months and older.

For my boy as a puppy I used Blue Buffalo

u/mynameispigs · 4 pointsr/dogs

1.5yo 55lb mutt.
The big things are:

  • Food: $50 (lasts 2 months)
  • Flea/tick/heartworm preventative: $100 (lasts 6 months)
  • Visit to the vet: $60 (once a year)

    Throw in some costs for toys/treats/misc. and I'm at around $700~$800 (conservatively) a year.

    For food, I get the 35lb bag of Purina Pro Plan Shredded Chicken/Rice.

    For flea/tick/heartworm preventative, I get the 6-pack of Revolution. I like this one because I don't have to give her one medication for flea/sticks (like Frontline) and a second medication for heartworms (like Heartgard). I've never found a flea or tick on her and she's never had heartworms.

    When I have expendable income (I'm still a college student), I plan on getting pet insurance for her.
u/NegatedVoid · 2 pointsr/Newfoundlander

My newfie eats Natural Balance's large breed food. She's not really a big eater - probably something like 4 cups a day (I just refill her bowl when it runs out). She's about a year and a half old, and ninety pounds.

u/ParanoiaFreedom · 2 pointsr/triops

Your pet store is pricey. I would try Amazon. I can't attest as to whether [this] (https://smile.amazon.com/Aqueon-Shrimp-Food-Pellets-2-Ounce/dp/B004HSOTZI) brand is specifically ideal for Triops, it'll probably work fine, but just using it as an example, it's $4.08 for 184g and you don't have to worry about the risks of buying from bulk eBay sellers.
