Theo and Sweetie’s first time camping!!

Got all these from my mom, and scribbled out my stepdads face for privacy. But Theo was an absolute champ during camping according to mom! Sweetie wasn’t too fond of it, she likes home better. And Olivia loves camping, it’s her favorite thing ever. Copper and Nova stayed home because Copper doesn’t like the cold and Nova’s guard dog side comes out real bad during camping so she’s always barking at everything.

Food options for a 1yr old basset hound

This our first basset hound and we are on his 4 or 5th dog food since we got him at 13 weeks. At that time he was on purina puppy chow, all our other dogs have thrived on pro plan so we did the switch. He had horrible poops, but his first vet visit he did have tapeworms he was treated and put on simplica trio. About 3 months later he was treated for round worms twice (did a stool test) because he was just always hungry but would poop at least 4-5 times a day. Was treated 2x . After that we switched to science diet puppy, poop was still horrible. Started doing probiotic every morning, was getting better but only with the probiotic. Just switched him to science diet sensitive stomach puppy did better, but currently transitioning him to science diet specialty care, salmon, oats and brown rice and he is now itching like crazy and his poop is back to before, so we are doing probiotic daily again. **sighs** worst part is I already have a mini dachshund with horrible stomach issues, and has had silica stones removed in July. He is currently on prescription hydrolyzed soy by science diet. I am so lost…

Any advice would be helpful.

Thanks, Christine

Cleaning exterior ear

Any recommendations on how to clean the exterior tips of my bassets ears? When I first got him (I got him this year, he’s 3 so a mature size) the tips of his long ears were crusty and gross from dipping them into his water bowl and any other substances he chooses to sniff. I use Earth Related ear cleansing wipes and occasionally Vet’s Best Ear Relief wash and dry combo the original owners gave me to clean the inside. I then used the wipes to clean the outside of his ears at the end, where the crusty fur was, and it worked but I did have to scrub hard and it left a foamy residue that I had to clean off after. I work at a doggy day care camp so I bring him with me and he often accidentally dips his ears in pee when he goes to sniff it. I was wondering if there is a better way to clean his ears. Just to clarify, I’m not asking about how to clean inside his ears (though if there are better products than I currently use, I don’t mind hearing about it) I’m asking how to clean the exterior of his ear (the furry part) especially the best way to clean off pee and other gross things.
