Hi Cindy, I'd like to know where you got your three wheeled bike? I've got a 110 pound three year old female Rottie, we walk an hour a day approximately 3 and a half miles. I wanted to get a bike but I am not sure how long or how far I should run my dog. I was...

I have an almost 15 year old black lab who has started to misbehave terribly. The worse is the barking. He has some difficulty getting up (although he can do so quite readily when food is the object) and barks every 45mins to 1.5 hours AROUND THE CLOCK to be picked up. Due...

Hello Cindy, I began feeding my dog raw food last April, in large part because of the wonderful information I found on the Leerburg website. The FAQ's are SO helpful and really convinced me it is the right way to feed my dog. So, thank you for all that information! I...

Does your synflex glucosamine come with a precise measuring cup? I have an 80 lb. GSD, and I would try your product if it's easy enough to administer. Also, can I mix it right into his raw food diet, and is it palatable enough for him not to reject his food? Please let me ...

Hi Ed, I'm a customer of yours and I have many of your training DVDs. I have a question for you regarding perhaps both training and just general advice. I will be getting an 8 week old Czech/DDR female puppy soon, which by virtue of genetics and early testing should ...

Cindy, I've been reading your responses on the topic of Rimadyl in the last two Leerburg Newsletters. My vet is encouraging me to nueter my 16 month old GSD (a topic for which I have mixed feelings). She gave me a printout with the estimated cost and I see that one of ...

Hi Cindy, I have just gotten a test result from my vet that gives a positive for Lyme Disease for my four year old GSD. Have you ever heard of a false positive? Would you get a second opinion? I know that Leerburg recomends the RAW diet and alternative medicine fo...

Cindy, I just wanted to say thank you from the bottom of my heart for warning people about Rimadyl. I lost my gorgeous 5 year old Staffie mix to this med in March 2010. She was given this med after a surgery to remove a small mass. Before the surgery she was a perfectly...

Hi Cindy, Of the many things I've learned from your website is the danger of this drug. It's a sad story to have to read but underscores the importance of giving these so called "necessary drugs or vaccines" to our pets. http://www.pharmalot.com/2011/08/pfizer-sued-...
