Thanks. We'll switch back to the Puppy Chow immediately and call the vet in the morning. I was hoping that no one would be alarmed at the...
Otis came to us eating Puppy Chow. We changed over to Earthborn Holistic over 4 days, and all was going well until the last day when he got...
Day 10. Otis just crawled into his crate on his own and passed out. It was our 1st accident free day!!! He's been sleeping for 9 hours - that's...
We put him down where he likes to go (not where we ideally want him to go, but it's a place that we can certainly live with and he seems to like)....
