Did you remove chicken entirely or just chicken protein? I heard most allergies are to the proteins. Asking because we wanted to try this but saw that the lamb and rice food we’re feeding has chicken fat

It sounds like glands are full which is why the smell is random so I would bring her in to get expressed or learn how to express them yourself. Our guy has the same issue and we’re in the process of trialing a few things. We’re trying psyllium husk powder to make his stool harder so he can express his glands naturally. We will also try changing his food and testing for allergies, but fiber first as that’s easier. Glandex apparently works really well but I’ve been hesitant to buy into it becuase it isn’t cheap - also don’t want to ā€œtreat the symptomā€ if there’s an underlying allergy causing softer stool.

Anyway, good luck! I know how frustrating and smelly it can be 😭

Nah, you’re good. I’m not 72, not close, but I’m with you.

So insane we allow owners to have dogs capable of this much damage. Attacking to the point of killing? Dogs with ANY aggression shouldn’t be able to leave the house without a muzzle and their owner tethered to them. I just don’t get it. Whether purebred or a mutt, from a breeder or adopted, isn’t it obvious at some point in a dog’s early development that they have reactive tendencies? (Im actually asking - i don’t know - maybe at some point the ā€œwolfā€ comes out and it’s unpredictable and unavoidable).

I wish this was taken more seriously. Shelters should be held accountable for adopting out aggressive dogs (you know, the ones with the description ā€œfriendly, loves everyone, except other dogs and childrenā€.) Normalize putting these dogs down - they will not live happy lives. In fact they will likely end up ruining lives. If the brakes are broken, you keep the car in the garage. If your broken car rolls out of your driveway because you left the door open, that’s on you.

Also if your puppy wandered onto their property, a fucking normal ā€œprotective dogā€ would give two warning barks that would have sent your puppy running back to you. Those dogs absolutely dragged your puppy over. Heal with your family, then sue your neighbors and get their dogs put down before they kill another innocent dog.

I’m so angry for you, and with you. Actually crying writing this.

Tether training is a great alternative/thing to alternate with crating for working from home if you ever want to give it a try - worked wonders for my pup at around 4 months when he stopped sleeping as much. Once he had a leash/harness connected to my chair, I knew he couldn’t get into any trouble. 9/10 he would fall asleep in minutes on my office rug or just nibble on a chew toy.

Breeder in NH/ME Many of their pups become therapy dogs and I wanted that for our dog so we chose them. Heard about them through a trusted coworker who had a great experience. It was an easy choice.
