VetsHelpingPets Nutrition is a key element in our pet's health and poor nutrition leads to problems like diabetes and allergy issues - next week.. #vetchat -1:01 PM Sep 22nd, 2011
MaureenSharib <--Loves Wiley Coyote cartoons #VETchat -1:01 PM Sep 22nd, 2011
VetsHelpingPets We are out of time on vetchat for this week but we will be continuing the nutrition conversation next week. #vetchat -12:59 PM Sep 22nd, 2011
VetsHelpingPets Coyotes are a definite threat to small children. #vetchat -12:58 PM Sep 22nd, 2011
MaureenSharib @VetsHelpingPets Wiley Coyote deserves the name he gets. #VETchat -12:58 PM Sep 22nd, 2011
VetsHelpingPets Yes that is a true story and Turner farm is not happy with wiley coyote #vetchat -12:58 PM Sep 22nd, 2011
MaureenSharib @VetsHelpingPets Does a well-fed coyote population pose a danger to small children? #VETchat -12:58 PM Sep 22nd, 2011
MaureenSharib @VetsHelpingPets 40+ !? #VETchat -12:57 PM Sep 22nd, 2011
VetsHelpingPets I think that should tell us at least something about the nutritional preferences of a canine. #vetchat -12:57 PM Sep 22nd, 2011
MaureenSharib @VetsHelpingPets But they're NOT desperate because they feed on all those delectable chickens, sheep, pigs (and so on). #VETchat -12:57 PM Sep 22nd, 2011
VetsHelpingPets But they have chosen to eat 40+ lambs this year so far. #vetchat -12:56 PM Sep 22nd, 2011
MaureenSharib @VetsHelpingPets ...makes sense. #VETchat -12:56 PM Sep 22nd, 2011
VetsHelpingPets I am sure they would eat those organic veggies if they were desperate... #vetchat -12:56 PM Sep 22nd, 2011
VetsHelpingPets Have yet to see the coyotes - canines like dogs munching on corn cobs, tomatoes and organic taters... #vetchat -12:55 PM Sep 22nd, 2011
VetsHelpingPets And we have a healthy population of coyotes in the area... #vetchat -12:54 PM Sep 22nd, 2011
VetsHelpingPets Behind us is a farm with corn fields, lots of organic veggies, chickens, sheep, pigs and so on...http://t.co/6eVliIuH #vetchat -12:54 PM Sep 22nd, 2011

VetsHelpingPets So discussing dog and cat nutrition lets go to the wild.... #vetchat -12:52 PM Sep 22nd, 2011
MaureenSharib Does http://t.co/X5wpMd7V make cat food too? #VETchat -12:50 PM Sep 22nd, 2011
MaureenSharib @VetsHelpingPets I suppose he deserves that little sacrifice... #VETchat -12:49 PM Sep 22nd, 2011
VetsHelpingPets Show Buster the love - get him something delicious and healthy to eat! #vetchat -12:48 PM Sep 22nd, 2011
VetsHelpingPets Kroger carries it - made by freshpet.com #vetchat -12:47 PM Sep 22nd, 2011
MaureenSharib @VetsHelpingPets He already adores me. I don't know why. #VETchat -12:47 PM Sep 22nd, 2011
VetsHelpingPets It is in the Kroger Pet Food Aisle in a Refrigerated case. #vetchat -12:47 PM Sep 22nd, 2011
MaureenSharib @VetsHelpingPets It's called Freshpet? Is it a Kroger product or does Krogers just carry it? #VETchat -12:47 PM Sep 22nd, 2011
VetsHelpingPets Freshpet is the company that makes the food. A side benefit of feeding it will be he will "Adore" you - at least at the fridge #vetchat -12:46 PM Sep 22nd, 2011
MaureenSharib @VetsHelpingPets Ok we'll try it. #VETchat -12:46 PM Sep 22nd, 2011
MaureenSharib @VetsHelpingPets Is that in Krogers freezer aisle or refrigerated meat aisle? #VETchat -12:46 PM Sep 22nd, 2011
VetsHelpingPets YES - as I said but you be the judge - let us know. #vetchat -12:45 PM Sep 22nd, 2011
VetsHelpingPets We would be interested to hear in another vetchat how Buster is doing on his low carb diet. #vetchat -12:45 PM Sep 22nd, 2011
MaureenSharib @VetsHelpingPets Will he be less hungry? #VETchat -12:45 PM Sep 22nd, 2011
VetsHelpingPets Buster will give you two paws up. #vetchat -12:44 PM Sep 22nd, 2011
VetsHelpingPets There is a very scrumptious low carb diet at Kroger: http://t.co/rsxt7A53 #vetchat -12:44 PM Sep 22nd, 2011
VetsHelpingPets Try it and yes I expect it will make him less hungry. #vetchat -12:43 PM Sep 22nd, 2011
MaureenSharib RT @VetsHelpingPets: Animal Poison Control at the ASPCA is a fee based service <-surprised to read that #VETchat -12:42 PM Sep 22nd, 2011
VetsHelpingPets Animal Poison Control is backed by the best in the business when it comes to toxicology for animals. #vetchat -12:42 PM Sep 22nd, 2011
MaureenSharib Will a low carb diet make my pet less hungry? Buster always seems hungry. #VETchat -12:42 PM Sep 22nd, 2011
VetsHelpingPets Animal Poison Control at the ASPCA is a fee based service but when you need them it is not much to spend #vetchat -12:41 PM Sep 22nd, 2011
VetsHelpingPets I suggest all pet owners bookmark http://t.co/QCvinVsN #vetchat -12:40 PM Sep 22nd, 2011
MaureenSharib @VetsHelpingPets The chewed gum or the packaged gum? #VETchat -12:40 PM Sep 22nd, 2011
VetsHelpingPets It has always been by eating the owner's gum. #vetchat -12:39 PM Sep 22nd, 2011
MaureenSharib Do pet foods have nutritional labels like people food? What should I look for? #VETchat -12:38 PM Sep 22nd, 2011
VetsHelpingPets The http://t.co/j5m8UOSB web site is an excellent resource for our pets and of course the source for Animal Poison Control #vetchat -12:38 PM Sep 22nd, 2011
MaureenSharib @VetsHelpingPets How do animals get that? They eat the gum by mistake? #VETchat -12:37 PM Sep 22nd, 2011
VetsHelpingPets going to cause toxicity. #vetchat -12:36 PM Sep 22nd, 2011
VetsHelpingPets The artificial sweetener in sugar free gum. Unlike grapes in which the toxicity is idiosyncratic xylitol in a high enough dose is #vetchat -12:36 PM Sep 22nd, 2011
VetsHelpingPets The most common toxicity in that list that we have treated is xylitol. #vetchat -12:34 PM Sep 22nd, 2011
VetsHelpingPets See this link: http://t.co/82eat7Cm #vetchat -12:33 PM Sep 22nd, 2011
MaureenSharib What other foods should dogs NOT eat? #VETchat -12:31 PM Sep 22nd, 2011
MaureenSharib RT @VetsHelpingPets: The lower the carbs the more expensive the diet. #VETchat -12:30 PM Sep 22nd, 2011
VetsHelpingPets http://t.co/H35hldaO for a discussion on the toxicity #vetchat -12:29 PM Sep 22nd, 2011
VetsHelpingPets Do not feed grapes they can cause kidney failure in dogs #vetchat -12:28 PM Sep 22nd, 2011
VetsHelpingPets The lower the carbs the more expensive the diet. #vetchat -12:28 PM Sep 22nd, 2011
MaureenSharib My dog gets sick on grapes. Why? #VETchat -12:28 PM Sep 22nd, 2011
VetsHelpingPets Cats and Dogs both will thrive on low carb diets - especially cats. #vetchat -12:28 PM Sep 22nd, 2011
VetsHelpingPets Do not feed the onions. #vetchat -12:27 PM Sep 22nd, 2011
VetsHelpingPets Not really a good idea to feed table scraps. #vetchat -12:27 PM Sep 22nd, 2011
MaureenSharib Is there anything in particular I should NOT be feeding my dog or cat? #VETchat -12:26 PM Sep 22nd, 2011
MaureenSharib @VetsHelpingPets I have a friend who mixes a plate for her dog after meals. She puts EVERYTHING in it. Good idea or no? #VETchat -12:24 PM Sep 22nd, 2011
VetsHelpingPets That is an overview of some of the pet foods at Kroger - they are not the least expensive but the quality and value is there. #vetchat -12:23 PM Sep 22nd, 2011
MaureenSharib @VetsHelpingPets Wow! That's a great list. I can find all these at Krogers? #VETchat -12:23 PM Sep 22nd, 2011
VetsHelpingPets There are some excellent foods in your grocers aisle for example: http://t.co/RBJPE3og #vetchat -12:22 PM Sep 22nd, 2011
MaureenSharib @VetsHelpingPets Check your "Refresh Speed" Set it to 5 seconds. #VETchat -12:21 PM Sep 22nd, 2011
RNJohnston RT @VetsHelpingPets: Fish Oil is much higher in omega 3 - very beneficial for skin and coat. #VetChat -12:21 PM Sep 22nd, 2011
MaureenSharib @VetsHelpingPets Oh. What should I look for in dog food? #VETchat -12:18 PM Sep 22nd, 2011
VetsHelpingPets With a Super Premium price. #vetchat -12:17 PM Sep 22nd, 2011
MaureenSharib @VetsHelpingPets On a more general level - what? #VETchat -12:17 PM Sep 22nd, 2011
VetsHelpingPets Many dog foods are marketed as Super Premium. #vetchat -12:17 PM Sep 22nd, 2011
VetsHelpingPets Not sure about the number in dollars because of the variation in size but on a more general level. #vetchat -12:13 PM Sep 22nd, 2011
MaureenSharib @VetsHelpingPets What should it cost to feed a cat a day? What abt a dog? How much to feed a dog? #VETchat -12:10 PM Sep 22nd, 2011
MaureenSharib Are dogs obligate carnivores? What does obligate mean? #VETchat -12:10 PM Sep 22nd, 2011
VetsHelpingPets Vets Helping Pets has been reviewing commercial cat and food diets and it is not expensive to feed you pet a healthy diet. #vetchat -12:09 PM Sep 22nd, 2011
MaureenSharib Is there a better moist food than others? #VETchat -12:09 PM Sep 22nd, 2011
VetsHelpingPets A wild cat's diet is very moist and very meaty. #vetchat -12:08 PM Sep 22nd, 2011
MaureenSharib Is "moist" different from "wet"? #VETchat -12:07 PM Sep 22nd, 2011
VetsHelpingPets Cat's are obligate carnivores - think about it - how many lions do you see browsing for figs in Africa. #vetchat -12:07 PM Sep 22nd, 2011
MaureenSharib @VetsHelpingPets Huh! I didn' know that! #VETchat -12:06 PM Sep 22nd, 2011
VetsHelpingPets Well the bottom line on cats - at least 50% of their diet and better more should be moist / canned food. #vetchat -12:06 PM Sep 22nd, 2011
MaureenSharib I sit good to feed my pet the same food day in and day out? I would get bored... #VETchat -12:06 PM Sep 22nd, 2011
MaureenSharib @VetsHelpingPets So it was mine (wrong answer)? #VETchat -12:05 PM Sep 22nd, 2011
VetsHelpingPets Eggs are a good source of protein if your pet is not allergic to them. #vetchat -12:05 PM Sep 22nd, 2011
MaureenSharib @VetsHelpingPets I always heard dry food made it less stinky than wet food. #urbanlegend I GUESS #VETchat -12:04 PM Sep 22nd, 2011
VetsHelpingPets So far only one wrong answer on whether it is best to feed wet or dry food to cats. #vetchat -12:04 PM Sep 22nd, 2011
VetsHelpingPets Cat't litter smells bad no matter what they eat. #vetchat -12:03 PM Sep 22nd, 2011
MaureenSharib @VetsHelpingPets Are eggs a bad choice? #VETchat -12:03 PM Sep 22nd, 2011
VetsHelpingPets Over the counter at Kroger is one place. #vetchat -12:03 PM Sep 22nd, 2011
VetsHelpingPets Fish Oil is much higher in omega 3 - very beneficial for skin and coat. #vetchat -12:02 PM Sep 22nd, 2011
MaureenSharib @VetsHelpingPets Where do I get fish oil?? #VETchat -12:01 PM Sep 22nd, 2011
MaureenSharib @VetsHelpingPets Is it true wet food makes cat's litter boxes stinky? #VETchat -12:01 PM Sep 22nd, 2011
VetsHelpingPets I would choose fish oil over eggs for a shiny coat. #vetchat -12:01 PM Sep 22nd, 2011
MaureenSharib Dry food would be my guess. #VETchat -12:01 PM Sep 22nd, 2011
MaureenSharib Is it true if I feed my dog eggs it will make his coat shiny? #VETchat -12:00 PM Sep 22nd, 2011
VetsHelpingPets Dr Molloy here - I will start with a simple quiz on cat nutrition. Is dry or moist food best for cats? #vetchat -12:00 PM Sep 22nd, 2011
