Mystique Princess Lucy, AKC St. Bernard:
Lucy is a wonderful "gentle giant"..never hyper or barking to break off your ears..but forbidding enough that people haven't decided to break in our house.

We bought a book, Natural Pet Cures (Robert Goldstein VMD) for dogs and cats..and have been giving Lucy alphalfa tablets, p.167, for prevention of hip displasia, a common skeletal disease in large breed dogs. Of course, poor nutrition or lack of exercise will contribute to this problem..Dogs needs at least 20 minutes a day of good exercise. It's good for us..and great for them.

We also give her 1000 mg fish oil for her coat and her heart. I recommend this book as it's informative and simple..it will save you many $$$. Although Lucy ate part of this book as a puppy..lol..I have taped it together and would never throw it out.
