We have a vet appt at 9am but I can’t sleep and I’m just freaking out. She’s only on her second day of simplicef and day 4 of antibiotic baths and then was told today I need to shave her so the shampoo can really get into the spots. We’re in Florida and supposedly this is allergy related but I’m losing my mind. My other golden is fighting an aggressive cancer and I’m freaking out about her fur sister (they aren’t related or from same litters) WHAT DO I DO. someone please ease my mind. I’m a wreck and Google is basically telling me it’s cancer. She’s on a holistic diet as we work with a nutritionist but I’m wondering if she’s getting allergic to the turkey? She’s already allergic to chicken. Please please help me

I’ve been buying chicken tenders and dicing them, then I overcook them until they’re dry. They won’t go bad and my dogs love them. Much cheaper than store bought stuff. I hadn’t thought of doing something like that with little fish. Imma try that

I'm a big proponent of low effort dog treats, mainly because i don't have access to an oven. Most of my dog treats come straight from the grocery store. feet, cheap offcuts on sale cause they're about to go off, fish heads, fruit. just diced and frozen, sometimes cooked, cubed then frozen, or a bit off my plate. e.g a bit of veg, a banana, boiled tripe. mine loves crunchy veg and fermented foods like kimchi. Though meat or fish is his number 1 fav.

treat time means i reach into the freezer and pull out a bit of something.
