I have the same problem and cooperblue and marble... my dog has super absorbent, thick poodle fur and no matter how tight I separate the hair, Revolution still oozes from the skin and onto the fur. I took my dog to the vet with the revolution and showed the vet how I was doing it and he suggested doing it over two or three spots. As in, like when you first put the revolution on it goes into the skin then as it starts running out of skin and oozing all over the fur - do it on a new spot. Just out of curiosity, when using revolution, do you guys use a tick collar as well or tick tablets?

Gah! Thanks so much Morgan...no soy milk for Carson! And maybe no more for me...lol

I actually love those 'fake meats' i thrive on them ! (the good quality brand ones) :rolleyes: I rarely feed my dogs my food tho, there's never any left over ! LOL (they have had the occasional left over small bit of soya sausage, schnitzel etc) I never knew soya was hard to digest. I don't have a great working pancreas (due to having cancer a long time ago), but i have never had trouble digesting any of my soya food :D 'Normal' food i do ! Interesting thread :D I love the fake roast, I always cook it up with the roast vegies and carve it up like it's lamb roast haha how sad! I think the soy sausages usually have onion in them so I've avoided giving him them but he's stolen one or two in his time and nothing's come of it so I guess it's fine? I'm trying to figure out why soy would be hard for them to digest...it's high in protein low in carbs so I was thinking it might have even been good for them...I shall look into it!

Me too, I swear I buy more meat than non vegetarians That's so cute your dog eats tofu... I wish I loved tofu lol I certainly would never attempt to give him a vegetarian diet, Carson already has a very healthy and varied diet as is, I was just curious whether dogs could actually eat the stuff because it's always around. I kinda like some of the fake meats now. I didn't for ages but as a lazy vegetarian who doesn't like vegetables I've been forced over the years to eat it

I wouldn't actually feed my dog a vegetarian diet, I was more after whether the occasional vego meal or scrap would be harmful so that's good to know about soy being hard to digest.. Probably should rule out fake meat too just to be safe then. Oh well, no tofu for Carson something tells me he may not be too upset about that loss hahah Thanks Miranda

I really don't have a particularly profound reason for wanting to know if I can feed my dog certain scraps when I eat my dinner, I was just wondering if anyone knew if it was safe to do so. He gets raw meat, mince, sardines and eggs.

Hello So I'll start by saying, I would never attempt to actually keep my dog on a vegetarian diet on a full time basis (largely because I'm hopeless when it comes to nutrition and would never feel comfortable that he is getting everything he needs - not because I believe it is necessarily impossible to do so). But in terms of giving my dog scraps such as a bit of musli and banana with soy milk for breaky or a bit of tofu or fake chicken etc is there anything in particular that I should avoid? I feel guilty because most dogs will get a nice steak or sausages during the week and it would be good to mix up his chicken necks and kibble with a nice warm *fake* roast and vegies once a week.
