We have a female Great Pyrenees who will be one this June.  She seems to have some sensitive skin issues so we took her to the vet and they gave her an antibiotic and antihistamine the last time she started to form scabs on her skin on her belly mostly.  We also switched her food to the Blue Buffalo and we make sure she is given her monthly flea/tick medication every month.  The sores are back again and this time they're cover large parts of her skin.  The sores look similar to ringworm and…

He's still pretty mouth with hands and feet, even though we've tried the hand down the throat and even tried tabasco  sauce. He is getting ready to turn 8 months and we don't "allow" this behaviour, but the nightly wrestling or pushing matches are getting tiring and at times we end up…
