Max had his right front leg and shoulder blade removed on Tuesday. Its been a rough few days pain wise, but its getting better. He is already getting around fine, although we are trying to keep him from moving too much. I feel much better about our decision and fell we did the right thing...

I don't see any way to edit my initial post of the title. After reading this my wife doesn’t think I'm being clear, so I will edit this post. She would like recommendations for a surgical recovery suit. For a 90lb Doberman with his right leg and shoulder blade removed. I think an added bonus...

Max is going to have his right front leg and shoulder blade removed due to cancer. I need to find a body suit that will allow me to help him by lifting. Most of the “surgical suits” I see don’t have lifting handles. His VET thought it would be a good idea but didn’t have any recommendations. Max...

Max was diagnosed with cancer in his front leg. He has had two surgeries so far to remove the cancer. When this started our vet told us that he thought that he might be able to do a couple of surgeries before we had to make a decision. About removing the leg or putting Max down. At first I...

I need a muzzle for max I see a lot of recommendations for the Baskerville Ultra Dog. My question is about size. The length of his nose is 4.0 to 4.5” (depending on where its measured) and the circumference below his eyes is 12.5”. He weighs about 100 lbs. The longest nose length they show on...

We have been giving Max (2 years old) 4health Original Salmon & Potato Formula Adult Dog food. He has been chewing at himself and licking his butt all the time. My previous Doberman had food allergies and I think Max may be the same. With all the drama over grain free; I’m concerned on what I...

I’m sending the Sport Dog back and I ordered the ET-300 MINI EDUCATOR. I’ve owned dogs most of my life, and Max is my third Doberman. None were as hard headed as he is. I was one of those that said I would never use a shock collar; they are inhumane. But recently I watched videos of dog...

This (ET-800) is the one I think I would like to try. But quite frankly E-Collar Technologies has too many options to wade through; this choice should not be this hard. So my wife ask her niece that used to work at a Vets office and she said Sport Dog. Educator ET-800 The Boss That could be...

No, the Sport Dog YARDTRAINER 100S YardTrainer 100S

I ordered the SportDog yardtrainer 100s, and was setting it up. In some videos the trainers said to start at the lowest setting and bump it up just until it gets the dog attention. One even had his young daughter hold it while he raised the level until she felt it. But they were using a...

KONG Squeezz Crackle Ball . Max likes these because they make a sound and have air rushing out; keeps him interested. I like them because they don’t make an annoying squeak. But they split at the side seam. Chewy replaced it the first time it happened, but he’s had 3 more and they all split...

No kidding! I dropped a two sheet paper on the floor and before I could pick it up Max swooped in, snagged it and took off for the living room with me hot on his trail. He chewed it as he ran and swallowed it before I caught him. He sleeps beside the bed. The wife heard a noise the other night...

My first Doberman had all kinds of toys he played with without destroying them in one sitting. Max is totally different. He tries to destroy everything. We had to take away all stuffed toys. He rips them open and pulls the stuffing out, pulls all the surface fuzz off, or rips out any squeakers...
