I have a 10 week old lab puppy who will pee on the floor right after you bring him in the house.

Why would someone buy from a pet store?

Posted on January 27, 2012 by PetHot

I understand buying food, pet supplies, and goldfish; but I mean cats and dogs. Who would buy animals that were obtained from puppy mills and irresponsible breeders? Why would you support that?
I do not support breeders either.

What’s the best place to get dog vitamins?

Posted on January 27, 2012 by PetHot

I just read Dr. Pitcairn’s The Complete Guide to Natural Health for Dogs and Cats and b/c my dog has several health issues, I’m trying to supplement his diet with the specific vitamins he mentions for these conditions (ie, B-complex, Cod liver oil). Do I have to buy them individually or just use a multi-vitamin? Where is the best place to get these? Most affordable? Using human vitamin ok?

Also where can I buy bonemeal? kelp powder? lechitin granules like they recommend? Any help would be great – thank you!
