    Buying a puppy from a breeder COI question

    @dynaramaurer The average genetic COI in Embark’s database for a standard poodle is 14.7% so I’m guessing 8-9% for a small poodle would be considered more diverse than the average. Note that just because sire and dam have 8-9%, doesn’t mean puppies will result in that range. If they have...

    My dog suddenly has a sensitive stomach and gets diarrhea when eating certain foods that normally were OK. Is this just his life now?

Didn’t listen to my vet. :( I’m so scared for the day he rejects PPP Salmon or can’t have beef. I only...
