It was from local butchers, and frozen.

Thats the thing, I am just giving her actual mince there is no bone there. Its just called chicken mince for dogs on label so not sure what is in it.

After a few more days trying to work out a good amount to give her and best method to cook. Originally I tried boiling but that was taking ages as always seemed part raw, tonight tried frying and it took about 15 minutes as it had so much water in, I just cooked in its own juices seems to work...

Well shes not underweight though she is small, shes a 15 month old collie who is 12.8kg

To be honest it was just guesswork for the tinned food, 1 tin per day split into 2 meals but she had treats during day too. I only looked at the tin a few days ago and it did say for her weight range (15 kilos is what she is meant to be about) 1 and a half tins a day and so she was having half a...

I changed pup from dried food almost 2 months ago as she wanted out a lot for poops and wees, she reacted well to it at first it was boiled chicken breast, and the odd leftover beef mince, and a few times fish depended on what I had that needed cooked. Then I put her on tinned food but noticed...

Well I put her back on cooked food a few days ago and she still wants out a lot of wees so that part of my theory is out of window, that being said she doesn't want out during the night at all anymore and sleeps till 8am each day. Next week is her Xray to see if she has problems with her tubes...

So after a little testing, last night gave her a pouch of wet food yes I know not the best food just wanted to see if it was any different, and another in morning then evening meal today was boiled chicken. She had 2 big poops in morning though mostly solid, and a small one in afternoon and...

So she has had 4 poops today so far each bigger than the single one/two she has done in previous days. I wouldn't say I have cracked the reason for why she wants out so much to wee as she probably does have problems going but its just interesting that before I started adding dry food back in...

Shes a BC 14 months old and weighs 15kg. Currently on Arkwrights, was on Ava puppy before for almost 3 months and Royal Canin for 2 weeks and before that a few other expensive brands. She used to get 4 handfuls of dry food until she was 8 months old but she was a little bit underweight so I...

Wrote in past about possibly going on raw diet, didn't at time as she was under 1 year old as well as the only suppliers I saw being very expensive. Noticed a few things about her recently, was away on holiday and was running low on dog food and didn't want to buy a large amount for 2 days or...

Small update, she was spayed a few days ago and for first 2 nights she slept in my bedroom but last night when she had recovered and back to her normal personality she barked to go to living room, the chairs are blocked but she now luckily has decided the bed I bought for her 6 months ago is...

Neighbours are 80 year old pensioners who go to bed early though I have issues with them as they are grumpy and complain, they don't have a desktop just a laptop and go to bed very early. What was strange about the 1st night was there was slightly stormy weather so I assumed that was related...

Though I overthink things there may be a possibility she is in season again. I just assumed as we were away on holiday that was why she was extra hyper, visiting family with older dog I took them both on a walk and she vaulted over her and also over small fences on the walk and was ignoring all...

I can, though its getting colder so ideally want the doors closed. Just strange it came out of the blue like that.

Ok strange one, shes 14 months old now and has always slept in my bedroom, and apart from first few weeks I had her she sleeps on my bed though pattern has changed i.e originally on my feet or between my legs, to lying beside me, to for first hour or two of night sleep under bed then beside me...

Ok it's so hard to see if she is genuinely ill or playing games or the truth is in between. Since she was on the medicine 3 weeks ago she stopped drinking as much but wants out as much if not more and is very vocal about it and if I take her oute and she doesn't go potty and we have been out 10...

Ok I have been thinking of ways to interact with her more, anyway something interesting has happened in the last few days, out of the blue on Saturday she seemed to be exhausted all day I put this down to the heavy wind on Friday night as she kept barking every 5 or 10 minutes from about 11.30pm...

She has only once done a wee indoors at the dogsitters and that was on a furry mat that other dogs go on and is the one thing I think she still associates with ok to go, i.e when I took her to a friends 4 months ago she weed on his furry rug (but she wont do it on a long regular rug) though that...

Well I increased the walks to the 40-45 minute range again and often we see other dogs on walk and chat and puppy gets some attention, she has started a behaviour of the last month or so whenever she sees a puddle she gives it a quick lick then tries weeing in it! Doggy day care she spends all...
