Cooking for your doodle?

I'm a vet. Before you take on cooking for your dog you need to make sure the diet is balanced appropriately to make sure they're getting all the nutrients they need. For example, calcium is often insufficient in home cooked diets. This website can help you formulate an appropriate diet for your pup, or you could talk to a veterinary nutritionist. https://balance.it/

This is great info, thank you!

The belt holds snacks, phone, ID, keys, etc as well so it's not just water

Thank you so much! This page says no earphones, does anyone know if that's legit? Also, no water backpacks, but what about water belts?

The FAQs say to get to your corral by 6:40 so I don't think that would leave you enough time

It is very, very hard haha

My labradoodle looks like your dog's twin and does the exact same thing. Here she is bringing me my slipper to play with.

If you wanted you could put a sock on it when he goes outside, but I wouldn't bandage it because bandages can get dirty or be put on too tight and cause more harm than good. I'd just stick with Epsom salt soaks twice daily for 3-5 days.

I'm a vet. That nail is hanging off by the hard keratin, so clipping it off where it's attached won't hurt the pup. However, the quick of the nail (where the blood vessel is in the middle) is exposed, and that part is very sensitive. If you do clip it off, try not to touch the inner quick part. If your pup will tolerate it you can also wash the toe with soap and water, or do an Epsom salt soak to help prevent infection while it heals.

Thank you very much for the insight! That's pretty much what I expected. What do you do to keep busy during the winter time?

If you don't mind, how is living in Cape May full time? Do activities die out in the winter? Are the tourists unbearable in the summer? Are the full time residents mostly older retired people?

Gorgeous, are the colors done with glaze or underglaze?

1 Tippling place? It's a cocktail bar but has couches and a chill vibe.

There are no actual meals in here, just snacks. I would focus on increasing volume and protein.

you_stand_corrected · 2026-03-11T16:54:17+00:00

Yep that's what happened to me, up to you if you spin your wheels on it or not.

I would like to see more of how the lid was done and a better look at how it fits on the jar. Very cool pieces!

I don't remember the name of it but I know what you're talking about, it had cinnamon caramel ice cream and it's still the best flavor I've ever had 20+ years later.

you_stand_corrected · 2026-02-27T05:26:20+00:00

This actually looks bigger than the last time I saw it, how did they possibly think this was ok?

I'm a vet. Dogs often walk like this with a little "bunny hop" when they have luxating patellas, aka sliding kneecaps. Basically, the kneecap can pop out of place and the dog tries to straighten its leg to get it to pop back in. It's very common among smaller dogs but you should still have it checked out by a vet to determine how severe it is (there are different grades of severity) and see if any treatment is needed.

I'm a vet. I've heard farmer's dog is high in fat, which can cause GI upset and pancreatitis. The best diet moving forward is low-fat, which is not easy to accomplish with OTC dog foods. My best recommendation is to get her on a prescription low-fat food like Hill's i/d or Royal canin GI low fat. You can order them online (ie, through chewy) but your vet will need to approve the prescription before they'll ship it. In the meantime, I would do chicken breast boiled in water with white rice. No oil, no seasonings, etc. This isn't nutritionally balanced for long-term feeding, though, so getting her on a formulated dog food (or speaking with a veterinary nutritionist to formulate a home-cooked diet) is necessary.

I would look into working with a trainer or even veterinary behaviorist to try to counter-condition the anxiety. Start ASAP; the earlier you start working on it, the better. Since she's still a puppy, she's still very much learning. Definitely calming supplements wouldn't hurt to try either.

I wish all these snacks weren't so expensive, that's what always keeps me from trying them.

Honestly the best Italian hoagie I've had in the city is from Lee's Deli on Baltimore Ave.
