re: Dog food help

Posted by MonroeTigerstripes on 1/8/26 at 8:22 am to
I have a lab mix with a sensitive stomach. First, I'd suggest buying food without chicken as the main protien. A few different vets told me that many dogs with skin/stomach issues have a chicken allergy.

My dog ate Purina (salmon flavor) most of her life. She seemed to like it, but probably had a stomach ache once or twice a week. It didn't impact her quality of life - I'd just give her a pepcid (per the vet's recommendation). I figured her stomach aches were due to eating crumbs she'd find from our kids dropping food.

When my older dog was diagnosed with cancer, I started cooking homemade dog food because he had a poor appetite. The change in my lab-mix was almost immediate. Her stomach aches are now few and far between, and even when she does have an upset stomach now, it as not "as bad" as before. I truly think the kibble was causing the majority of her issues.

I make a large pot of food about every two weeks. I use the cheapest ground turkey, frozen vegetables, frozen blueberries, and rice. She eats it up in record speed. Her coat is beautiful, she no longer licks the pads of her feet, and her energy is back to puppy-level, even though she is a senior dog.

Good luck to you and your pup!
That’s a pretty neat tradition. Hope you’ve been healthy and well, horsemeat!
Beautiful dog. I’m so sorry for your loss.
We had to put our good boy down last August. Can’t believe it has almost been a year without him. We still miss him terribly and talk about him every single day
I’ll never forget when all of this went down. I think of it often and pray for you and your family. Truly can’t imagine
Praying for your daughter and for your family.

I’ve followed Dr. Leigh Erin Connealy for a while now (on social media) and she is part of the Integrative Oncology Program in Irvine, California. She combines both traditional and holistic methods for cancer treatment and focuses on finding the root cause. I know someone in north LA who is currently under her care and has had great results. Good luck to you all

Take pics of the car before you drive it off the lot. Also make note if it smells like smoke or has any interior damage.

Can’t tell you how many times I’ve been billed for damage that I didn’t cause. Learned my lesson one time and now I always have pictures to refute their claims
Just got a phone alert to take cover in Monroe, it says tornado warning until 6. Any of you weather guys see anything? North Monroe area
Yes we do… and fun fact - fluoride depletes iodine
Same thing happened to us. It was a toddler sock stuck in the pump
Give the glucosamine a few weeks and it should make a difference. The supplement that helped my dog was high dose glucosamine, fish oils and maybe turmeric? (Among other things)

We tried a few different brands for our pup but the one that worked the best was the “Dr. Joseph's VetPro Complete Dog Hip and Joint Supplement”
Didn’t read much on the topic - are these male and female? If they breed, I’m interested to see if motherly instincts kick in. Will the mother know how to nurture and care for a baby wolf since the mother was created in a laboratory?
Post the emails and numbers, please. I know it’ll fall on deaf ears but I’ll do my part.
Nothing here in Monroe yet but radar has us covered with 55% chance of snow until 11pm. It came out of nowhere, I’ve been refreshing my weather apps all day and was surprised to just see it.
Coming down hard in north Monroe right now
Thank God we didn’t have much to assemble and had our Santa display out around midnight…. Our kids ran into the living room screaming at 1:30 am. We were somehow able to corral them back to bed, and they were up again at 5:30 ready to start the day. Kids are 5 & 7 - these truly are the best years. Merry Christmas everyone!

Second vote for the chief. Had it installed about a month ago and we are very happy with it
PLEASE do us a solid and wear a Trump t-shirt that says “daddy’s home.” Let’s get this party started

I know the brother of someone in Elon’s inner circle. He is a long time poster, wouldn’t surprise me if his brother is too.
