Website with Forums on Dogs

[ginnyp]

Does anyone know about any website with forums on dogs that is as great as this one for cats? (I went to "thedogsite.com" but it doesn't seem to have much.)

I need to learn more about allergies in dogs (specifically on a Pug), and see what foods may be better than the Eukanuba(sp?) she currently gets. (If you talk to the vet, all he wants to do is a lot of high-dollar testing and put her on Science Diet, along with the allergy pills she already gets a couple of times a week.)

I just feel like I need "dog-help," like the "cat-help" this site provides.

Thanks,
Ginny

I have a pug. Go to pugvillage.com. It's the best and the busiest. The people are very nice.

For other dogs (I only have a pug) go to dogster.com.

When I was researching food allergies in dogs (my boy has em), I discovered that corn was one of the top allergens.
Both Eukanuba/Iams and Science Diet have corn.

I eliminated corn from my boy's diet and the problem was solved.

Unfortunately, I never found any dog forums that were welcoming, most were rather condescending and rude.

Good luck in your endeavor

We've had several threads lately about allergies and food allergies at www.boxerdogplanet.com. You're welcome to come in and do a search- I believe the health section is open to non members for searching.

The biggest one has seemed to be putting their dogs on a "bland diet" and then adding things in slowly, one at a time, until they find the trigger. Pm me if I can help.

We have one of THE best Labrador Retriever message boards - lots of info on the breed plus health, nutrition, etc.
