[QUOTE="RDJ, post: 4063006, member: 5905"] Do NOT buy any dog food carried by a grocery store .. and Purina is crap .. I raised and showed Yorkshire Terriers for several years ... they are not big dogs I know but the principles are the same ... If you are going to change your dogs food .. do it a little bit at a time ..mix the new food with the old food .. gradually changing the mix to more of the new food over a couple of weeks. MUCH less stressful on the dogs digestive system .. If your dog is crapping more than once or twice a day .. change his food to something else .. he is not using what he is eating. Science Diet was horrible for our Yorkies .. they were crapping several times a day .. we switched him over to NutraMax and they crapped twice a day max. and seemed happier ... As for shampoos and advice on training your dogs ... go to a dog show and get some quality shampoo ... Mane & Tail is a good one and is sold at most dog shows .... Labs being a short hair breed it is easier to find a good shampoo that works .. but shampoos are like food .. some will work better on your dog than others ... Try Mane & Tail and see how they do .. watch for flaky dry skin . or other irritations on their bellys... as long as you don't see any then you are good to go ... Talk to the breeders in your area who also show their dogs .. many of them will be able to give you great advice on how to train your dogs and leads to folks who can help you .. If you want to check the breeders credentials ask them questions about the breed .. health issues, and stuff like that .. if they are a quality breeder they will be able to tell you ... [/QUOTE]
