Picked up a new pup she is 1.5 years old she is a mini golden doodle her name is LILY. Super kind and she finally has her own bed and her own water and food bowl. For a pup that never ever got walked she is great walker I feel like she is a little over weight and they fed her cheap Costco food we have switched her over to blue and likes it. The reason they never walked her is because laziness I’m sure and they live in Maywood and it’s not the nicest neighborhood. Lily seems happy and I think she feels like she is home. No more yelling at her and all she wants to be is cuddled. I wish I could take her mom also she is a little bigger and darker and I hope that they can give her more attention and love.
That a cavapoo? She has the same build and hair as cavapoo and I can’t get an inch from her in the house she is like the piece of gum stuck to the bottom of my shoe.
He just turned 7 months and is 50 pounds.
She definitely looks like a mini.
Ozzie was a standard doodle who was pretty much 44 pounds his entire adult life.
He was an amazing soul and I miss him dearly ?
Congrats on the new dog. Just my opinion after owning dogs for 25ish years. That expensive food is not needed unless the dog has allergies to certain shit. I’m not saying put the MFer on puppy chow, but you don’t need that fancy shit either. Do some research and don’t go off what your rich neighbors or what your vet tells you.
Totally understand it’s not the most expensive and it’s not the cheapest dog food. We did our research on the food and this is what they both like so far.
I was told by my breeder grain free is no good.
Because grains in dog food can help support heart health, a grain-free diet can lead to certain heart-related medical conditions in dogs. Dogs who eat a grain-free diet for a long time may be at higher risk of developing dilated cardiomyopathy, which can eventually lead to congestive heart failure.
With all the different varieties of dog food out there and fresh food, etc..., there are going to be multiple opinions on what is best. We typically get different bags of dog food quite often with some regular dog food that does have corn, for example, and grain free dog food with different proteins. Mixing the 2 up for a few feedings tends to help them transition easily between different types without stomach issues.
Good news on LIly she is getting way more comfortable in the house. She does great on her walks and is very calm and peaceful. I have noticed when she poops or pees outside when I go to praise her and get her excited with treats when I go to pet her she falls to the floor when I go near her after she does her business like if she is used to getting hit or I’m thinking get yelled at a-lot since they never took her out and only used pee pads. But I’ve been giving her treats and rubbing her down a lot and is starting to get way more comfortable with me. No mistakes so far inside and she likes to play ball outside and absolutely loves her own bed.
Almost forgot is it strange she don’t like to pee on her long walks? But she does pee when I take her to the back yard. So far since Saturday I’ve gotten her to poop 2 times on short walks and pee maybe 2 times since Friday we got her. Maybe I’m just paranoid but my cavapoo pees like 20 times on people’s yards. Lily don’t care much to smell poles, trees or fire hydrants my other dog is all over it. I do know this he can hold her poop way longer and pee than the other dog my other dog must have a super fast metabolism she goes for walks it’s guaranteed she takes care of business.
