    Pine litter cost?

    I was curious too as neither their bag nor the Top-Bedding from Canada specifically says kiln dried or phenol removed. However, from TS I received the following response the other day "Thank you for contacting the Tractor Supply Customer Solutions Team. I am so excited to hear you’re...

    maybe allergy

    I just checked with the maker of what I've been using. Horse pellet bedding They say as safe and the same as their small animal product. Still, when I finish this bag, I'll try another just to see. He's not much of an indoor toity. He prefers the wild blue yonder.

    maybe allergy

    could be litter I suppose, but it's the same pine nugget horse bedding we've been using for a few years. could be environ as well, but he's been here for a decade. could be aging. hoping the antihist at least calms the itchy/licky back leg femur. his skin is exposed, but not irritated. think...

    maybe allergy

    not sure if O is allergic to chicken/turkey or perhaps eggs in Alnutrin. we have been feeding Daves turkey, but he still gnaws his high hind legs. Course, could be psychological. No fleas or worms, both just vet checked. So thinking of rotating out of Daves and other chicken/turkey. Anyone have...

    allergic reaction to chicken - dry food rec

    probably will make the next alnutrin batch with turkey. Certainly suspicious of chicken at this point. I have been giving Fera Probiotics for a while as well. Thanks for the input.

    allergic reaction to chicken - dry food rec

    at first I thought it was to egg in Alnutrin mix. I have an eggless sample now to try. But in the meantime, I was feeding Owen Daves turkey wet which he liked, didn't cause any reaction and seems pretty good. Decided to add a little dry to his diet to tighten him up a bit after his stools were...

    Owen developed sensitivity to Alnutrin

    Been feeding him that for a couple years and all has been well. Made it with cooked chicken thighs. Seems OK with plain chicken. But it comes back with the Alnutrin. In any case, if you cat is OK with it, I have about 1/2 a 180g pouch I bought in March of this year, dated 8/24, that I'd send...

    psyllium vs pumpkin

    1/4 tsp sounds like good math to me, though I'll see how the probiotics go and the annual to the vet started him on FERA Probiotics, as I said. Time will tell.

    psyllium vs pumpkin

    I do rotate with turkey. I may try wabbit or other if I can find from a reliable source. Yea, that water is grotty. I hate cleaning the pump filters. He gives me a "what" look when I chase him off it. I'm sure I'm not getting him even close to every time.
