pebbles eats anything!! but i have had her on purina pet puppy plan for the last 12 months but now she has turned one ive had her on pedigree sensitive. It turns out pebbles has colitis (irritable bowel) so all the tit bit treats had to stop....which she is ok with now but i did feel a bit mean. every now and again she gets that byley sicky thing, which is quite common from what i can gather in lhasas. I think the best advice for teddies is cut out human food, the vet said id brought pebbles colitis on myself by alllowing her to eat all the stuff i had for meals and that her tiny little stomach couldnt handle the additives,fat,grease and richness in human food. Also i alternated flavours of puppy kibbles a lot as i assumed pebbles was bored with the same old same old doggy food every day, the vet said this also was wrong and that dogs dont get tired of eating the same food, its humans who assume this and so go on to overtreat and give in at meal times and let the dogs eat humans meals. This advice was invaluable as i now have a happy healthy pebbles who doesnt beg for any of my food and always finishes her own meals. Good luck with teddies diet, dont worry im sure its just a passing phase

thankyou so much for getting back to me my teddie also had colitis i was so worried he was bleeding from his bottom and everything hes like our baby so there i was at midnight at the vet hospital on a saturday night :that was when teddie was 8 months old. but how weird this is today i was talking to a lady at work who is a breeder and she has recommended this food to me which is nature plan which is also gluten free, i started teddie on it tonight so i will let you how he gets on with it.
my dad also had colitis and after having test he is now a celiac which means he has to have a gluten free diet , im not saying this is a matter with teddie but thought it wont heart to try him on a gluten free diet as well.
take care to you and pebbles.

Hi, I have 3 Lhasa apso's and never had any problem with them health wise. I also know alot of people that own them and they have no problems. There was me thinking they were bomb proff until I read this lol. i hope you all get your Lhasa's sorted. I think they are lovely, cute little dogs but can be very bossy if you let them

pebbles thinks she is the boss but she isnt!! i think a lot of the threads on here are just teething problems....no new puppy comes with a fool proof manual, just like babies i suppose. Pebbles had a few digestive issues and is a particually clingy little dog but she is the cutest most loving happy little thing and she really is my world and the best thing ive ever done, woe betide anyone who isnt a lhasa lover hehe!! x

One of my teenage sons isn't. He loves my cavalier and hes grown up with my old shep but he really don't like the lhasa's. I told him I do understand and i would help him pack if he wanted to move out lol He's not said anything since
