My 8 month old maltese, Frosty LOVES peanuts. It is probably his favorite teat of all. Im wondering if its OK to continue that... I only give him one a day, but i am afarid it might be harmfull to his health. Does anyone know whats the deal with peanuts and mlteses???????
Pico has been snacking on almonds, cashews and peanut butter for the past year with no ill effect. I don't give him much, probably less than a whole nut's worth, and in little bite size pieces.
When I am snacking on nuts, he is the most attentive guy......I could get him to do anything for a bit of nut! I eat a few, give him a bite. I eat a few more, give him a bite.
I put a little peanut butter in his Kong toy when I am leaving to keep him occupied and soothe my feelings of guilt at going shopping without him.
Peanutbutter is fine fot them, but dunno about whole peanuts. Be sure not to give them macadamia nuts though. I was watching a program on foods that are not good for dogs and that is on the top of th elist. Can cause temporary paralysis. No, grapes, chocolate, coffee, an donions are among the "do not feed" items
peanuts might be a little bad because it can dry out their mouths and they can choke. i think thats why peanut butter is better---but i'm not positive. but i'm pretty sure there are some nuts (maybe macadamia) thats dangerous. i havent researched it.
for a treat I will give Maxi a small piece of a pretzel rod
thats what he likes and he likes the nutra cal , maxi hardly ever eats his treats he plays with them
he isnt a big eater at all
you know how at the pet store they have puffed corn thats flavored and stuff---for a bag its $2.99. at the grocery store you can find puffed corn (with no preservatives or any other yucky ingredient) for i think 99 cents a bag. my dogs havent tried pretzels---i'm sure they'd think thats yummy.
Today I brought home a rescue Maltese-cotón tulear mix.
She’ll stay with Belle and me till her forever family is fixed (the shelter is currently reviewing 2 families). Within a week or fortnight they should have a family.
She gets along very well with Belle, but she’s scared of me. When I give...
I hate it when Bailey isn't feeling well...which is not too often, luckily. But he is sick right now and I could really use some advice. Monday night, he started pacing back and forth and crying to go outside (not normal for him)...I took him out and he had a really loose stool. That day, he had...
I didn't want to hijack Baileysmommy Sad Story thread, but it did get me to wonder. This past weekend I had to get re-certified for CPR and first aid. During the class infants, and dogs were discussed in reference to CPR, how to breath for them, and choking.
I was wondering how many members out...
We need to stop this! The problem is that Snowball is 8 years old and is the sweetest dog you ever saw! EVERYONE loves him and that is the problem. Sometimes they will try to pet him and he is OK. At other times he is still nice and adorable but when a person gets too close he will bark and go...
Question about heartworm preventive medicine? Anyone on here not using heartguard or interceptor etc and just going with all natural products? I am trying to decide if I should give my 17 week old puppy heartguard or interceptor or just trying to go the all natural route. What are your thoughts?
