Ok, I'm starting this just to see what people know. No fighting, kids! lol Anyways, I was thinking about doing the home cooked food for Copper. Not completely raw or anything, just homemade. I just read that in Los Angeles, roadkill is picked up and given to dog food companies. Is this true? I know I can't believe everything I read, so I took it with a grain of salt. Also, does anyone else's fur kids have dry paw paw pads? If so, what do you do for them? I clipped Copper's nails tonight and realized they were pretty dry. I don't think they are bothering him but just wanted to put something on them before they crack. I'm also proud to say that I did it all by myself for the first time. I cut Pooh's by myself but I was worried Cop would jerk and I would have a boo boo. I was too impatient to wait for my boyfriend to decide to join in on the festivities, so I went ahead and did them myself. He didn't mind at all. Laid there just like Pooh did. I also had another question but can't remember now. Stupid short term memory lol I'm sure it will come back to me.

You can always make your own balms. There are plenty of recipes for balms on the internet, including ones with lanolin.
The recipes are usually equal parts wax and oil melted and mixed, then you add scents or flavors. I imagine if you picked a scent or flavor that didn't smell or taste like something a dog would want to put its mouth on, then you could avoid that problem.
Good idea. I don't think there's anything in the Bag Balm that's unnatural, but I suppose lanolin would give a dog the poos if it licked too much off, just like with anything oily. I imagine lanolin would smell like something a dog would like to eat too.
Here in PA, apparently roadkill deer are put in landfills or pits in the woods. I looked it up. Not saying every state has the same rules, but please beware of source material on the internet!
