TEQUILA'S PET THREAD

For those of you that have Dogs as Family Members, what do you feed them? How do you care for them, etc. etc. etc.?

Our Dogs

(--Lil: A young Akita (our Alpha)

--Mel: A Young Part German Shepard/Atika

--Bronx: An old Blind Akita

--Sheba: A mid-age Mexican Midget Dog (she runs the household)

Twice a day, we feed them the following:

--Costco Kirkland Can Food

--Costco Kirkland Dry Food

--Two Eggs

--Two Cans of Mixed Veggies

--Vitamins

The above is all mixed together.  They also everyday, get treats of Milk-Bones--the ONLY treat they get. They never eat Human Food,

with the exception of Sheba.

IN-ADDITION:

--They get walked twice a day for at least 45-minutes/each walk.  In our hot months, the late afternoon walks are limited to 15-minutes = TOO HOT.

--They get brushed after each walk.

--In the hot months we put bags of ice in their Large water tubs in front of a fan to help cool them down--they get ice twice a day in the tubs during the hot months.

--Every other day, when being brushed, they get a spray on their coats with Apple Cider Vinegar/Water = Makes their coats shine and fights off Ticks/Fleas.

--They get their yearly vaccines

--They get their regular scheduled Tick/Flea pills

--During the Winter months, our Compound is sprayed once a month to prevent ticks; includes the immediate area outside our compound. During the Hot Months we do this spraying at least twice a month.

--They get yearly Dental Exams/Cleaning

--Once a month they get a bath; sometimes more often.

--They each have their own Dog House with ceiling fans plus stand-up fans and cleaned bedding

--Only one dog is allowed inside = Sheba

--The other dogs, we cannot allow to enter, for they go after Tequila and our two cats = Meow Meow & Buffy (both Feral Cats).

WOULD LIKE TO HEAR FROM YOU ALL (in regards to the above).
