Thanks! Unfortunately, he was already having staph problems before he got on TOTW

Well I guess all the vets in my area all suck then...because we went to 4 different vets for this issue.....

We have already been to the vet's office for this problem many times and they keep saying it could be environmental allergies/seasonal allergies. He used to eat Purina Pro Plan up until he was around 7-8 months old and he got staph when he was eating that, now he eats Taste of the Wild (salmon...

Apollo has always had an issue with Staph/Pyoderma since he was a puppy at around 5 months old. He's a year old now and over the summer, it got really bad and is still bad. Whenever he is put on antibiotics for it, it clears up immediately, but the moment he gets off (literally the day after his...

That's so cool! Apollo was born on June 28, 2016! Only 2 days apart!!:D:shock:

Not past 3 months, more like past 2 months maybe.

Apollo's 1 year and a month right now and weighs about 72lbs....He looks pretty good when he stands alone but when he stands next to other dobies, even females, it's very obvious he is much slimmer than the others. They're much more filled out than he is. He has been at 72lbs the past 3 months...

Apollo - Sweet Puppy Dreams :p

I have actually recently had two different incidents where people were being rude and ignorant. My dobie and I were just taking a stroll minding our own business and woman walking with her 3 kids and husband that was nowhere near us PURPOSELY said loudly "come on guys, that is not a nice puppy...

Well, we had another accident the other day but tonight is night 2 in a row without peeing in his blankets! I used baking soda to wash his blankets the last time he peed so I'm wondering if that was the secret to getting all the pee smell out of it?? In terms of him being crazy with so much...

It makes me so envious when I see videos and pictures of dobies cuddling up to their owners on the couch to watch tv together or on the bed. I have never experienced that..:( It's a struggle between wanting him to have the freedom of being out of his kennel for as long as possible and not being...

I took him out for a 2 hour walk around a lake today, came home and had 1 hour of play time/free time, then took him outside again to walk around the neighborhood and that lasted 1 hour and a half - after those 4 and a half hours of nonstop activities and play, he was still at maximum energy...

He is not a Euro! He is an American Doberman but yes he definitely acts like one. He does not have an off switch at all. Only time he does is when he is forced back into his kennel at the end of the day and he has nothing else to do other than to finally sleep.

I am saying this with 120% honesty. I got him when he was 12 weeks old and now he is 1 year and 1 month old...in all the time that I have had him, I have MAYBE only seen him nap TWICE outside of his kennel when he was around 3-4 months old. Other than that, he has never ever fallen asleep or...

This would never happen in a million years because he is not capable of sleeping anywhere except his kennel when he is forced to be in there..I kid you not, I have never seen him sleep outside of his kennel because any time he is out, he needs to be playing 24/7. He doesn't ever stop moving. I...
