Agreed! If you find a better forum please share, this one seems to be a dead end...

Hello, I have a 4 month old Newfoundland puppy who has come into rescue, she has been diagnosed with an ectopic ureter. She has been on a variety of meds, antibiotics for urinary tract infections and wears diapers to help keep her dry, especially at night. Has anyone had any experience with this? We are adopting her ourselves and want to provide the best life for her that we can. Are there any suggestions on meds to try or more natural remedies? Food types? We feed the rest of the pack a high quality, grain free food but the vet suggested we raise her on a low protein, giant breed puppy formula. Any advice would be greatly appreciated, this is my first newf!

I, along with several other new members, have asked simple questions which have gone unanswered and almost ignored. I have gotten more information from a science fiction book than this "forum"! I'm not sure if u people just have no desire to answer questions about dogs that u own or if u just don't know so u don't answer. I'm not one to complain... but as I read through various threads and saw the majority of them with low views and no replies I had to ask myself if this is even a viable forum. I don't anticipate any nasty responses to this thread as u people don't generally participate in discussions.

Hiya All,

New to this so you will have to bear with me!! :)

Im due to pick up my Newfie pup on the 18th February. Im a bit lost with what to feed him at the moment. The breeder has advised that he will be being fed on Purina Pro Plan but Ive had mixed reviews about it.

Ive tried researching it on the web but ive so far come up with a list of diffrent foods as long as my arm!!!!

Any advice would be very welcome :)

Hi I have a 19 week Newfie cross Bernese and live in the Swiss mountains. She is a really sweet puppy and growing fast! So I am hoping to learn more about caring for such a huge puppy...

Hello everyone. My fiance and I just got our 8 week old Newfie/St. Bernard male puppy. We absolutely love the little guy and he gets along with our 3 1/2 year old Border Collie/German Shepherd mix. We are new to the forum and, even though I know there a million different food options and a million different opinions, we would like to ask actual owners what they are feeding their little giants. Any input is much appreciated as we don't want our little guy to grow too fast and have bone/joint issues. Thanks in advance to any replies.

He's 7, he owns our house. He can lift your spirits with one look and a wag, he can also put you down with a superior glance. He sleeps outside most of the time and can't understand a humans reluctance to get wet. Digestives and chicken is his weakness, as well as anything that squeaks. Slobber is his favourite game, as well as climbing out of any water and targeting anyone closeby who has never seen a Newfie shake the water from their coat.
He is my best friend.

New member, my Newfie is called Dylan and he's 7 yrs.

Will you be using the iPads in your car (for example, vacations, long car drives)? You might consider getting an iPad charger for the car.
You might also want to put a shield - I put on the Zagg Invisible shield on my iPad2 - on the screen. It helps protect the screen.
Stocking stuff idea - those little cleaning pads meant for iPads/electronics.

I use a large, padded bed, however sometimes I think it gets too hot for him while he is inside.
