"and the treatment for it was changing her heart worm meds to Advantage Multi for dogs and applying it twice monthly for 2 months and then switching to the regular once per month.

Hi everyone!I've noticed my dog has developed some pretty funky breath lately. He's never had breath issues until about a month ago. It has a fishy odor and it's weird because his food (Natural…Continue

I'll link you to the thread where I talked about it and you can see the pics and compare. Take him to the vet and have them check for it. The mites are non-transferable…"

Hello, everyone! Happy 2013 to all.StarFox has developed what looks like some sort of irritation between his nose and upper lip. I haven't really noticed it until later because he's typically a bit pink around his snout... I only noticed it was quite serious when the groomers pointed it out. I was wondering if this looks like an allergic reaction or possibly something else?The only thing I can pin-point would be these dinosaur-shaped rawhide bones I purchased from Petco's treat bar. He's never…See More
Emily Trupiano replied to Breanne Bustria's discussion Bad breath"I would start brushing his teeth 3 times a week. It's really a money saver if you don't want to have his teeth professionally cleaned at the vet every year. I work at a vet and we don't recommend bones or raw hide at all. Raw…"
Ludi replied to Breanne Bustria's discussion Bad breath"It's a defense mechanism? Yeah, I'd steer clear of it... and head for another country. :-D"
Breanne Bustria replied to Breanne Bustria's discussion Bad breath"Hi Jane, thanks for the reply. Good point, it's probably a better idea to hear something from the vet rather than a groomer... but he's always been going to these people so I would assume they'd at least point something out!"
Breanne Bustria replied to Breanne Bustria's discussion Bad breath"Haha! Interesting. Goodness, I hope it's not anything too serious... I'll find out soon, he's due for his annual rabies shot. I'll keep the raw chicken necks in mind though... can I buy those at a pet store in the frozen section?"
Ludi replied to Breanne Bustria's discussion Bad breath"I give really soft bones -raw chicken necks are usually a good bet. They're easy to chew even for beginner dogs, and their shape is a great way to make sure every surface of the teeth is "scraped" clean. I took him off an entirely raw…"
Jane replied to Breanne Bustria's discussion Bad breath"I agree there's probably something going on with his teeth. I wouldn't trust a petco groomer to make any sort of diagnosis."
Breanne Bustria replied to Breanne Bustria's discussion Bad breath"I know NOTHING about the raw diet! =[ What type of bones do you usually give Ace (pork, chicken, beef, etc)? StarFox is allergic to pork. Why did you take him off the raw diet and put him on kibble?I will definitely ask the vet if they can see…"
Ludi replied to Breanne Bustria's discussion Bad breath"I do not use them myself, as I believe the best toothbrush out there is the natural one - raw bones with plenty of meat left on them! My Ace has spotless teeth after being on a raw diet, and now that he's on kibble, I make sure to give him a…"
Breanne Bustria replied to Breanne Bustria's discussion Bad breath"Yikes, I hope that's not the case! I wonder what may have caused it? He's due for a rabies shot soon so I'll mention it when I make an appointment with the vet. No, I haven't tried giving him Greenies... they're a bit pricy…"
Ludi replied to Breanne Bustria's discussion Bad breath"If a dog has significant build up, it will require him being put under general anaesthesia so that his teeth can be scraped clean. It's nothing that can be touched by something like doggie toothbrushes - we're talking solid stuff…"
Breanne Bustria replied to Breanne Bustria's discussion Bad breath"Hi Melissa and Franklin, thanks for the reply! I don't think it's an anal gland problem because he can't even reach his bum haha he's too stumpy!"
Breanne Bustria replied to Breanne Bustria's discussion Bad breath"Hi Bev Levy, thanks for the reply. He gets groomed once a month, which includes a teeth cleaning. He just got groomed 2 weeks ago and they (Petco) never brought any issues up. My niece even brushes his teeth every now and then."

Geri & Sidney said… Sounds great! It is a very fun event! Once you register I'll forward the email about the t-shirts. Colette wants photos that focus on your pup's face at nose level (not from above).
I usually walk the longer one, but if most of the group wants the short walk, we'll do that to stick together. I have a big "Team Low Rider" sign that we carry.
Here's a photo of us from last year that they put in their newsletter!

Here is a link to my fundraising page. I used their standard template and added the quote at the top and uploaded Sidney's photo. It explains what the event is all about. The money raised goes to the Humane Society in Escondido.

I think you were asking about the prizes? That's based on the money you raise. You can donate to yourself if you want to, but you don't have to. Even if you are part of a team, your individual fundraising goes towards your own prize.
You have the choice of a one-mile or a 2 1/2 mile walk. Anyone is free to come walk with you and enjoy the vendors, freebies, events and games, but only registered walkers are eligible for the prizes, or if we win, for the thank you lunch.
please feel free to ask away if you have any more questions!

I think the Red Lobster closed in the mid-late 1990s! It would be on the lower level, below the food court and just north of Nordies.
Every year, the Esco Humane Society holds a big fundraiser at Kit Carson park, called Paws in the Park. You can sign up to walk and raise money, either as an individual or as part of a team. For the last few years the SD corgi meetup has had a team, which we call Team Low Rider. WE came in second place (to the conniving cat ladies) the first two years, and the last year we took first place! We were treated to a lovely thank you luncheon as a reward. You get lots of attention when walking with a herd of corgis!
So all you would have ot do is find the event on the SD corgi meetup page, click on the link to register. IT costs nothing to register. Then create a fundraising page and ask family, friends, co-workers to donate. We're going to have custom t-shirts made, and Colette (leader of the sd corgi meetup group) is going to try to put pics of all the team low rider dogs on the t-shirt. It'll be so cool!
Let me know if you have any other questions or need help with the registration :)
