I mix about 1 T of tuna (in water) in my dogs dry food and the gobble it
right down. I pour the water from the tuna over it too. Then the cats
get the rest of the can of tuna. Since the dog food recalls I have been
buying Timberwolf dog food. The Southwest Chicken and herbs flavor. It
doesn't have any corn or wheat or gluten in it. The fur babies have
been doing great on it. Their hair is so soft and shines like crazy. My
oldest girl was getting very over weight on the store bought food and
she has been sliming right down. She used to just lay around all the
time, but since a couple weeks after starting the Timberwolf she has
started playing a lot more with the 2 younger girls. They have been
eating it since last Mar. and I really like the results. You can order
it online , with free shipping on orders over $15.00. It costs more
than store bought, but I think it's worth it. It's about $10.00 for 4
lbs, depending on the flavor, and size u buy. I too, got tired of
making homemade food, but I'm not willing to risk my babies to save
money buying regular store bought food. Also, after they recalled the
dog treats, I started buying Animal Crackers (the cookies for kids) to
give them for treats. They r a lot cheaper than the dog treats. My
oldest girl doesn't like them, but the 2 younger girls do.
Here is the link for Timberwolf if u want to check it out.

I'm not affiliated with this company, I'm just a satisified user.
PS My oldest girl used to have a LOT of drainage from her eyes and she
doesn't have that anymore either.
Blessings,

I have three chi's. Only one, a small long hair one,
has a molera that did not close completely, but it is
very small.
However, I have a REAL PROBLEM and I hope someone can
help me with advice. My chis WON'T eat any dry dog
food and any canned dog food either. They are about
five years old. Two males and a female. I read about
the Chihuaha 28 on the blog and bought the larger bag
for $21(3 pounds cost $15 so I thought it was not
worthwhile). I read that the chis really LOVE it but
mine won't touch it and they rather stay hungry. I am
out of my wits about what to do. I fed them chicken
and ground turkey until now that I bought at ALDI but
I am old and cooking the food has become tiring. Can
anyone suggest what I can do? I don't want my chis to
starve to death. THANKS A MILLION!

I also read that it is common for most chi's to have
this trait. I was worried when I got my two but even
being from different breeders after examining them,
my vet has told me neither of them has any opening
at all! They are both large for Chi's..male 9 1/2
lbs and female 10 1/2 lbs so I don't know if
weight/size makes a difference? They still are cute!
Just not so easy to step on!

has one about half the size of a dime. Her pup has
one even bigger. Neither will completely close. IT
is an acceptable trait in a chi, and general poses
no health problems, but naturally should inspire a
little extra care to protect.

fontanelle/molera
My little girl chi is now 1 yrs old and she
also has an open fontanella about the size of the
tip of a pensil erasor. The vet said it will not
close any further. Vet said she will be fine but if
she were to hit her head hard or run into something
sharp that just happened to hit in that area, there
would be a problem. I just make sure there are no
sharp corners and watch every step I take not to
step on her or accidentally kick her as she is
always under my feet. It is second nature for me now
to watch my every step. Evelyn

Does anyone else have a Chi with this? My baby
Lexi was born with an
abnormally large one--it is slowy closing and she is
7 months old. I
am just a fretful mother so I fret over her a lot.
It doesn't help
that I live on a university campus with a great 24
hour emergency
veterinary clinic (I'm at the University of Guelph,
where the Ontario
Veterinary College is) which sort of allows me to go
into fretful
mother hypochondriac attacks. It would just be
reassuring to know if
other people have the same thing. She was slightly
developmentally
delayed but is catching up, she is nearly 3 lb now
(the breeder
initially thought she was going to stay less than
1.5 lb), her adult
teeth are coming in but I am just so panicked about
her head at times.
She is, incidentally quite good at keeping her head
protected--she
knows to hold it right against the wall when my
other Chi comes to
rough-house (Patches is only 4 months old and
doesn't really know much
better). So any reassurance would be great!
