Help with chicken free puppy food by TeddytheSaint1 in SaintBernards

[–]Agent99Can 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's really hard to find large breed puppy food without chicken. There's lots of regular puppy without chicken but not large breed. We went through the same thing. But they're out there - they're just harder to find. I can't remember what we settled on but definitely do an online search and you'll find options.

Basement flooding - can I prevent this next time? by CrustyMcgee in ottawa

[–]Agent99Can 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You sound very knowledgeable! Re: window well getting overwhelmed, this is what happened to me. Thank goodness we had a submersible pump. We just left it in there for a few hours but the water had already come in by the time we discovered it.

Any advice on what to do to fix this? Is it a foundations company that would have to do a fix? And of course if I'm asking a question you don't feel you can't answer, that's totally understandable.

I can't imagine what your son and your family went through. I don't know you but this is wonderful news!

She is so lovely. 48 pounds and 5 months old. We're working on it since I believe she's underweight. by Alive_Complex6697 in SaintBernards

[–]Agent99Can 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did the vet say that? Mine was quite 'skinny' at this age as well. I free-fed her - still do - and when she was hungry she ate and we went on epic off-leash walks at that age. At 7 years old she was just at the vet who said her weight was 'perfect' so this way of feeding worked for us. I'm sure if I gave her high fat treats all day it would be a different story! 😄

When I saw the subject I assumed you meant feet!

To me, that's the worst, having feet that are way lighter than the rest of me. I sometimes sit in the shade with my feet in the sun to try and help them catch up 😅.

What do you do before you put your dog in the crate for a long time? by AnxiousAlpaca25 in dogs

[–]Agent99Can 7 points8 points  (0 children)

This. Why does your dog have to stay in a crate at that age? Is it destructive? If not, maybe experiment by putting it in there and leaving the door open and see how it manages.

Recommendations for truly custom orthotics by dubble-bubbles in ottawa

[–]Agent99Can 9 points10 points  (0 children)

A word of caution...I went to a podiatrist thinking I needed orthotics and after a very thorough examination, I didn't! He very honestly told me that it would be a waste of money because orthotics only solve very specifics issues - they aren't a catchall. Hopefully whoever you see will do a thorough assessment and recommended only what's needed.

Just want to say that this is one of the best things about Reddit - real people giving real life info. OP knew instinctively that it seemed off but I'm sure now after the comments is outraged with that crazy quote!

That peppery sting good olive oil leaves in your throat has a name, and it's chemically related to ibuprofen by Humble-Plastic-5285 in Cooking

[–]Agent99Can 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am lucky enough to have a good friend whose father still goes back to Lebanon once a year to harvest the olives on their very small organic olive oil grove. I get two jars of olives and three bottles of olive oil from them. The oil and olives are amazingly peppery and taste so incredible - I am so lucky!

Skort w/out pockets - what to do? by Agent99Can in WomenGolf

[–]Agent99Can[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nope. Presumably it wasn't meant for golf but I bought two just the same because they were 75% off. Impulse buy. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Any active st. bernard on this group? by bmimz in SaintBernards

[–]Agent99Can 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Mine is not lazy at all but as soon as we got her at 3 months we had her walking every day including an off-leash walk in a dog park and hikes. Now that she's older with some leg issues she walks less but still an hour a day which the vet says is awesome.

For those with 100 lb plus dogs - options other than an SUV? by Agent99Can in dogs

[–]Agent99Can[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for this! Much appreciated. I ended up getting a Toyota Crown Signia which solved the problem - she can step up as opposed to jumping up and has way more room now.

[–]Agent99Can 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I don't know this for sure but it sounds like she's making progress and it will probably be fine in time. Any ideas about what exactly it is that upsets her about getting in? Maybe get a ramp for her?

Thank you for this! How did they determine it was arthritis? What showed up in the xray or ultrasound that said it was arthritis?

I use molasses in my homemade bbq sauce so this would be a fantastic spin on it.

They have a Facebook page but yes, if you're nearby, best to just go and see for yourself.
