All about dogs - dog breeds, dog training and behavior, news affecting dog owners or handlers, puppy pics, etc.
Rules (Will be refined later on).
-
Don't be a dick. This should cover most things, just keep in mind that everyone started somewhere and try to be helpful rather than rude or judgmental.
-
No personal attacks based on training style or tools.
Discussion of balanced training including proper use of aversives is allowed here. -
All breeds and mixes are welcome. You can criticize backyard breeding practices but don't pile on people because they own a specific breed or prefer purebreds or mixed breeds.
-
Do not support backyard breeders or puppy mills. Please do not link to or suggest buying from high volume breeders or those with an obvious lack of standards and testing.
-
Do not help or support fake service animals. Please do not encourage people to buy fake service dog vest or ESA letters to get around rental or other restrictions & do not give advice on how to misrepresent a dog as a service or support animal.

Fair enough. I have honestly heard nothing about them, but considering we have to buy expensive soft food and crush the Trifexis into it to get them to eat it each month, that sounds like a pretty good alternative.
@FlyingSquid You might ask your vet and see if it’s a good fit for you! Like you my dogs socialize with each other, other family members dogs - never random dogs and I’ve never really had flea or tick issues, certainly never worms. So it’s hard to speak to any efficacy but from a preventative standpoint it seemed right for us, I had a hard time with my dogs and the oral treatments as well.
I was already planning on asking her next time I brought one of them in. Thanks!
