I have a 12 weeks old male bernese. He has started to

A teacher in my daughter's school got a berner pup a few weeks ago for a
surprise gift from her husband and realizes now that she can't take care of
it. She has a newborn baby and a 10 year old Golden Retriever and the pup is
just too much for her. He's a 10 week old male that her husband
Since it has been raining fairly steadily (after a long, long period of
drought), we are pulling off a record number of dog ticks! Some are alive
but most are dead. One was found, bloated, on the floor.
The last time I dosed my dogs was August 22. Frontline advises a
one-a-month application
I was wondering the same thing too. I found two dead engorged deer ticks on
the floor, one on my puppy, one on one cat and 7 ticks in various states of
engorgement(?) on my old cat. I put Frontline Plus on all three pets in
mid-October. I couldn't sleep that night - I was so itchy!!

My vet discouraged me from microchips. She said that not many places had
scanners and that my dog would have to be anesthetized because the needle is
so big. I'm wondering if the chips have changed and she isn't up to date on
them. I still want to get one done.

I would think your vet is either out of date, or doesn't have the
technology/experience with microchips. More and more places have scanners now.
Your dog would not need to be anesthetized! It's just like getting a
vaccine - the needle is large, but no larger than a good sized IV
needle.
I love my flexis, especially for long walks in areas like conservation
areas and hiking trails where the dogs must be leashed, as they do allow
the dogs to sniff and act like dogs without walking right beside me the
whole time - but I have found that I need to replace them after about a year.
FWIW - I like Innova and my dog did well on it.
My cats did not. I fed Iams to everyone for five years, but switched after
learning more about Innova. About a year after I made the switch, one of
my cats became VERY sick with bladder stones and required surgery. About
the same time another

Hi!
We also live in the area, and Dr. Shea, at the Los Gatos Dog and Cat

and glides underneath the skin rather effortlessly. We often microchip young

While I admire your diplomacy (as always :), saying that diet and exercise
will make a problem worse is very different from suggesting that diet causes
hip and elbow dysplasia.
Why does it matter? Because when breeders hide behind the belief that diet

Here is question. If a puppy x-rayed 12 months would have fair hips. What
would that puppy have at 12 months if it had been jogged with its owner on
sidewalks or blacktop roads at a very young age. My guess is that its hips
would be worse than fair. That is just my opinion for what's its worth.
