Mine eat Merrick, canned and kibble, and I cook a lot of human food for them. I have found it helps prevent pancreatic problems to vary the diet with fruits, veggies, cheeses, meats and kibble..
When I kept mine on a strict, no human food diet, many would get a bite of chicken or turkey and have gastric upsets that needed the vet...
You can give oral flea meds if needed...I prefer to keep the enviroment flea free....but do use oral meds in summer... |
Thank you for your input. I prefer the medium leg too but there are so many different looks in the show ring it is hard to know what is proper. Actually, I like them all, tall or medium if the soundness and balance is there.
I have never fed Merrick. Right now mine are on Chicken Soup and Canidae and I try to give them healthy treats. I do have a weight problem with a few of mine but that is my fault and we are going to have to work on that issue.
I use the Advantage on my Yorkies but not on my show boy. I have never tried the oral fleas treatment so I will have to check them out. We live out in the country and even though mine do not go outside, I still get fleas every now and then. We have a lot of feral cats around and they are great for keeping the mouse and snake population down but they do bring fleas to the yard. I try to keep the area around the house treated but it seems like an endless battle. It never gets cold enough here in Texas to totally get rid of the fleas in the winter so we are battling them year round.
