Do not ever go on the pet food groups on Reddit. The general pet food ones only believe in what they call "WSAVA approved brands". Fact: There is no such list of brands. The WSAVA publishes global-wide nutrition guidelines that is geared mainly to vets. The guideline document does not mention any brand and neither does the web site. Ask for where in the guidelines or web sites it lists out approved brands and you get

If you don't feed an "approved" brand (namely Hills, Purina, and Royal Canin) and only the dry kibble, you also get

You have to wait 7 months for a dermatology appointment! Can you get on their cancellation list? That's funny that Molly is worn out after a whole day of pets. :bighug:

Thank you for the warning! What a bad situation when someone is trying to learn online!
So glad Molly is doing well and enjoying going to work with you. Very glad Tiger Mom is not being a (you know what) 🍍 about it all.
I’m sure Molly is exhausted after a hard day work of being pet and taking naps and commuting.
I hope Civvvie stays stable. Sending many vines 🍃🍀🍃🍀🍃🍀🍃🍀
And I hope Molly just enjoyed watching Apricot and Orange and that’s all!
Thanks for the update 🥰
 
Well a full day of commuting, supervising, and being pet is exhausting! 🦮

I’m glad Tiger Mom doesn’t seem to have any complaints though who could with that precious face?

I hope Molly is just so intrigued by Apricot as a friend not snack 😅

I hope Civvie stays stable and Molly’s hocks feel better! Sending lots and lots of healing vines 🍃🍃🍃🍃🍃🍃🍃🍃🍃
 
People can be opinionated and really fanatical when it comes to pet food! My brother used to feed his three dogs raw, but he switched to a fresh home-cooked version. I think he was so 'beaten down' by his vet who was dead set against raw that he finally gave in and did fresh cooked instead.

I'm so glad you're able to take Molly to work with you!! It's so much better for her to be with friends/family throughout the day. Tiger Mom's stock value went up a teensy bit for that decision.

I wonder what Molly would do with Apricot and Orange 🤔
 
I don't understand why they 100% believe in a made up list and get all :mad: at anyone who feeds something else. Looks like a comment that got deleted by a mod may have been from someone with knowledge of the pet food industry or pet nutrition based on the:ted:replies.

The doodle group I occasionally post responses on is more welcoming to whatever you feed.

Molly will chase after squirrels and rabbits. I don't let her but she tries and I get dragged along 🫨 She probably views the rats as something to chase after.

The vet isn't concerned with the hot spots since they're not bad so Molly is ok to wait for dermatology. I'm in daily contact with the vet's secretary so if the spots get worse, we can schedule an appointment and the vet can just take Molly to dermatology for a look.

Tiger Mom says my suggestion for a Howl-ween pet costume show off is a great idea. I sent a poll to the lab to gauge interest. Only got 5 responses so far 🤷‍♀️ To be fair, not too many people have pets but I bet most people would like to see at least pictures of pets in costume posted on the white board. Molly is too big for most "XXXL" costumes so she may have to settle for something that goes on her head.
