Labradoodle & Goldendoodle Forum

Ok I've decided to start this thread because there are a lot of issues we will need to address with help Jake adjust to a new life. I'm just going to post here with questions. I've got obedience stuff down I can handle that. But there is alot of other stuff. I'll just post here any maybe one of you wise doodle lovers can help. I can try to post in food, and grooming but so any things are interrelated so I'm going to use this thread as a catch all and if mods want me to separate I can. :)

Issue first and foremost, the diet. We feed one of the foods recommended on here. Jakes current diet (what the owners been feeding him) is dry purina puppy food, and equal parts peas, corn, rice, cooked ground beef and water all mixed together. Okayyyyyyyyy. Iknow how to move a dog from 1 food to another slowly but how in the world do i handle this? Poor Jake has terrible runs! I'm taking him to the vet early this week to check for uti, stool, blood work etc. but how do I begin the transition to my food with all these other ingredients?

Thanks,I'll tackle other issues as we go along. I fear grooming wise he will need a shave. His belly, ears, and legs are horribly matted.

Thanks everyone.

At least she was a woman of her word. I think it is her loss.

She must know it all then.  Bye.

Too bad we could not give her a  nice parting gift. A bowl of Pedigree would have been thoughtful. Eat Up

God Love you, Joanne. I do. 

:)   I love you too!

( You took the words right out of my mouth )

LOL! Yes, I did! 

Awwww...now Joanne, I thought we were supposed to be nice to ALL animals! :)

Hi Beverly, thanks for sharing your beautiful story of Jax and Garth.  I am sorry for your loss.

Jake is certainly going to feel so much better once all the matts are removed. I know you are educated in making good food choices and will certainly get him on the right track once his tummy settles down. I wonder if some of his poop issues aren't related to all the changes in his little life? Did he come with to you with diarrhea ?

Sue, I was wondering the same thing..  If not, Karen can definitely help Jen get his tummy back on track with her diet advise...

 

Jenn, You are getting wonderful advice. I'm so glad that Jake will be shaved tomorrow. All of this is so much change, but it is change for his good and soon he will adjust to living with your family and especially sweet Brisby. I am in awe of you. 

Please do before and after pics. Good luck with this sweet boy.
