If you can spare the time to prepare food for your dog at home, that is always the best option. Yes, when I say I feed raw I mean I give my dog raw meat with boiled grains and raw vegetables. There are a few good recipes and plenty of good advice…

A few things I would add to the said: About probiotics - the Lacto B is intended for animals rather than humans and has a different composition to the BP8. Although both are probably good I think Lacto B is more adequate. You can have a look at …

If I gave Rem the meat in big pieces he would not touch the rice/beetroot/whatever else there is... not that I have tried, but I am pretty sure. He is eating half a kilo /a bit more than a pound/ of meat daily, the odd bone is on top, plus about …

Ktrebor Indeed Rem loves fish! Have not tried beetroot yet. Will you share your BARF recipe?(Image) How do you mix the fish with the rest of the food? Do you remove the bones? So far I am defrosting it in hot water and some of it gets part…

:-) Sounds familiar :-) You are right, this happens when they don't digest the food completely, so it rots in the large intestines and generates gases. Try something like this if you are not already giving them probiotics. I don't give it all…

From what I have seen in Rem, Akitas seem to enjoy the odd tussle and could look for it. The three dogs I have had so far were all showing aggression in very different ways. My first Dane was probably afraid, and would attack any male dog imme…

I did, and sometimes still have the same poo problem. I feed Rem raw minced beef with a little liver and tripe, or chicken, or fish with boiled rice and ground raw vegetables /carrots and gourgettes mostly/ I add cod liver oil, or E and D vita…

I agree with you Brad - I think it is a somewhat alarming situation. One can to an extent afford to have a possessive dog if it is not very big - as far as it makes them happy. I can't afford any sign of it with Rem cause it could end very bad. …

I've never heard of a furminator before, I looked it up and it seems I badly need one :-) What size would you recommend for an Akita? Rem is actually having problems with the shedding, I am probably doing something wrong. Whenever I try t…

Hi Brad, I certainly have :-) You can find them in my brand new gallery. I am not sure how standard Rem is, for he is 110 pounds now, but I love big dogs...

Jessica, I just gave my opinion, no offense meant :-) From what you say about your visit to the vet, I think their opinion was very close to mine. You say the vet gave you something to protect Piggy's GI tract... I don't believe you think…

Hi everyone, I'm Nick, owner of Rem, a 1 year old 110 pound Akita and this is my first visit to this forum. I graduated veterinary medicine /seems like ages ago/, but work as a bathroom fitter in London, UK... 33 in a month.

I am new to the forum and not quite sure what part of the world is it that you are in right now... but when you talk about packs of dogs running free, it reminds me of home(Image) They are homeless dogs I would assume and very rarely dangerous. …

Jessica, In my opinion you have overreacted a good bit. I know chicken bones can sometimes be dangerous, but it is an exception rather than a rule. And it is only cooked hollow bones that can potentially do damage, because they split easily an…

Raw meat /beef, chicken, fish/ with boiled rice and some ground raw vegetables /carrots and gourgettes mostly/ No ready made food, except when we are camping - then its dry food.
