Big Paws Only Dog Forums

I went to my oldest sisters house (not the Josh one) and her 4 cats have fleas...(she should never have pets) I didnt know they had fleas until i came home and on the phone she told me. Now ... Jaz is on frontline plus... but she is biting herself and itching now. I have found 3 fleas on her... is it possible that is all there is? I used the flea comb, and the furminator and didn't find any more... any help?

For the last few weeks i have noticed that it is taking jaz longer and longer to get up from a down position. Once she is up there is no problems at all. She does get glucos. from Nupro but should i give her more? It just seems like getting up from a down is an issue for her. Also when she sleeps on a hard surface such as the bottom of her crate, she seems extremely stiff. Is there anything i can do for her? she is 9 mos. old. The only thing different in the last 1-2 months is swimming. And when she does swim it is only for 15-20 min, maybe 2x. This is only once a week on sundays.  She does not jump in the pool i carry her in. Any suggestions? Anything else i should add to her food?   Nutritional wise:
solid gold- mmillenia, wolf king (2 cups 2x day)
prairie - raw instinct (.5-1 cup 2x day)
solid gold canned food
nupro joint
seameal plus
prozyme
dentatreat - wysong
flaxseed oil/salmon oil/olive oil/veggie oil <--alternate..
she weighs 105lbs, 31 inches tall. I just want to be prepared if it is the worst. She just seems stiff, but can i do anything more for her?

Any suggestions on a whitening shampoo to help keep Jaz white? She gets grass stained so easily, and then the yellowing occurs. Anyone know of a good whitining shampoo?

ok..so my little girl jaz has now officially learned how to chew on shoes, and the worst part is it wasn't by her own self-discovery. My sisters, bf taught her how to chew on shoes. I came home to 3 sets of shoes chewed...oddly enough only the right foot...but still.....then he also showed her how to chew a remote control for the TV. So Needless to say.... its in the trash as well.  This guy basically manhandles my dog, you tell him to stop and he keeps going 10 fold. I HATE HIM. I know that you all probaly don't care to hear all of this, but in my family no one else owns a dog and they think that is what all dogs do.  BUt the part that irks me the most.....HE STARTED IT ALL!!!  So once i told him what happened and said please don't show her nor let her chew on anything, he gives her my shoe that she chewed, and she went to grab it ...and at no fault of her own (his fault) i had to correct her and kick him out.  When he comes over or when i see him, Jazmines eye BULDGE out of her head .... like NNNOOOOO please mom not him!!!  I dont know what to do, i have been nice to this guy, but not much longer. Last night Jaz was chewing nicely on one of her bones and what does he do?? Guess.... well you are right, he gave her my other new remote to chew on.... So what,,, now when he comes over i have to hide the dog? Now where can i hide a 105 lb great dane>? Under my bed...no....in my bedroom.... hmm chewy galore in there.... i dont get it..... he thinks he knows it all when it comes to dog. The thing is i train dog for service training (wheelchair helpers), as well as pet dogs. And he is telling me how how to raise my dog.   A little graphic here... he told me he grabbed his male dogs *wooo who**** because it was sticking out. He did it to  punsh his dog. I hate him and want him gone......

My jaz gets SSSSOOOOOOO excited when she sees a little dog. She gets the zoomies, and wants to play soooo bad with the little ones (5-20lbs). I know she would not mean any harm but at 105lb. and puppy i know it would happen.  She uses her front paws to Thwap (bops them on the head with her paw). I don't want to tell her no...(and if i did in that situation she would woooo woooo and whine at me) but does any other big paw experience this?

I am from Natick MA, I am looking for another dane (or large dog) for my little girl to play with a few times a week, either in the early morning or after 6 pm. I know you are out there... please contact me. Jazmine is a deaf, wonderful 105 lb, 31 inches dane pup who is wanting to play. But her best play buddy Koda is moving to FL on Saturday, so we have no more play dates. Will you be her friend? Will travel for fun, although not too far.
Please help us...

hello again... Jazmine is the best pup in the world. But when i picked her up from a kill shelter, they said that she drags her feet when she walks. What i have noticed what they mean is she "stubbs" her left and right rear foot when she walks. Just the toes sometimes, not always drag on the floor, cement, or whatever surface she is walking on. She rarely does this but just asking if anyone had a clue.

Hello, i am new here and saw a lot of people talking about wellness...it used to be a great food made here in MA, although they changed manufactures so now it is made by the same people who make pedigree. The food may have  a high rateing on food sources, although they refuse to tell you where the meat is actually from. They end up no listing all ingredients (from what i am told) so just beware
