High Prairie vs. Pacific Stream puppies: What do you use?
850941
We feed our English Mastiff the Pacific Stream formula as he wasn't able to tolerate the High Prairie formula (allergies). We tried other salmon and fish formulas from other manufacturers and this is the only one that he does well on. He's been on this food for over two years now (of course he's now on the adult formula), and at a bit over 200lbs, he's very happy & healthy.

I have a couple of large Labs, both female and both have had puppies. I have tried everything I could for their hip pain. Phycox is the only thing I have found that actually works.

Hi, I ordered one each of the Swiftly Done and Assem items to see if one was better than the other. They are hung on my fence line, and have been up for almost 3 months. I see no difference in their performance or light intensity. We live in a NC and plenty of sunshine, so have had no problem with the solar aspect. We have had several storms with downpours, and both have held up. I do plan on purchasing more to hang on other areas of our fenced yard for our dogs. They have been great since our dogs have a dog door and free access to the yard in the dark evening hours. I like the fact that they are lit all night, and change to the higher light when movement is detected.

I built a simple platform that allowed my dog to step up on and easily get his water. Scrap lumber will do it. Messing with the plumbing is more costly.Now for my question. I have a new dog that cannot or will not learn to use the Lixit. She is the correct height to use it but even when I put delicious meat and other things on it to attract her, she will not use it.

Can't say I know what a "puppy cut" is, but I do know that my Dane is comfortable on his. It hasnt been "Texas Hot" here since I got it, but I really don't foresee any issues. He is just way to comfortable!

Janet,So sorry but my dogs have not had Southwest - they have had wetlands in their diet and have loved it, I usually mix it with either the dry High Prarie or the dry Pacific stream. Chose this dog food as a result of checking out dog food advisor.com and finding a great quality dog food then researched all prices and availability on Amazon. I know it doesn't answer your question, but perhaps helps in other ways. Thanks

I use Marin for our dog Clarence. He is a seizure dog on phenobarb and gabapentin. We give it to him to keep his liver value down. I found Marin to be alot cheaper as Clarence weighs 96lbs. Hope this helps.

Hi Donna--I have used both. When our floors were refinished, the technician recommended Bona Pro and left me with a sample. I really like the Pro Series. It cleans better and the floors look fabulous and don't seem to spot as much. I have 4 pugs and when they come in from the rain, they track paw prints everywhere. With the Bona Pro, it dries and looks great. I clean every 2 weeks and sweep once or twice a week, depending on the floor.

I would go with this. I used both and I liked these better. They have the tops you can hang them also if you want to or have them on the ground. I had a ton of flies coming I into from my neighbor's dogs and this took care if them within 3-4 days. I also like that as the flies fill it up you just put more water on them before having to change it out. This one worked better for me personally.

For a big dog that pulls, I really like the Gentle Leader, but for general purposes, the martingale is my pick. I used the Gentle Leader to teach my GSD to heel but he always has on the martingale (shown).

Dogs do get tired of, or sensitive to having the same protein all the time; try switching to the rabbit, venison, chicken or surf n turf. Also I would hydrate the beef patties now, they are hard as rocks and never used to be so it might be a texture or tooth issue. Also you can try the other excellent Canadian product; brand name starts with "O".

We go to the dog park once a week. Huskies in southern California get hot fast. They love water so we spray them down quite a bit. After I think 1.5 years there is no indication that there is anything wrong. Our last trip was today. Both unit still a little wet. I tried it on my leg at setting 85 of 120 and got the jolt. These are solid. Very happy with the quality and durability. If one or both needed to be replaced I would be the same ones again. NOTE: Water resistant and waterproof are not the same thing. I have not tried fully submerging either unut but both have been hit with significant water pressure. My personal opinion is that they would likely be ok with a short "dip". Take what you will from that. We go to the dog park once a week. Huskies in southern California get hot fast. They love water so we spray them down quite a bit.

Thanks Janet, I kinda knew that, but was surprised that you would be using p&s.; I would love nothing more than to stick with a p&s;,but the shutter lag (for shooting puppies/dogs in motion)(low-key professionally) is KILLING me. Is it true, there is no p&s; with a truly shorter shutter lag?p.s. not to mention a big ol' black SLR scares heck outta puppies!

Both. My Cockers responded well . My boy had a 4 year chronic hot spot that dissapeared after use. Start slowly to avoid possible GI problems,

I would get the potty patch and get the big one. It gives them more room to potty. The pet Zoom holds the urine and doesn't let the grass drain. Put it where the dog pees. Also with the potty patch I put pads between the tray ins the grate. Hope this helps!
