    Lurcher shows

    We were supporters of Greyhound Rescue West England (now Forever Hounds). Used to meet up with all sorts of sighthounds on a regular basis. At the annual big meeting you’d have about 100 hounds behaving quite peacefully together - lying on their rugs together with no problem. Then a terrier...

    Vet care too expensive?

    It gives a boost to appreciate that Spring’s on its way. Still not impressed with corporate vets.

    Vet care too expensive?

    I’ve had a look at Trustpilot reviews to get some opinions especially regarding the corporates. IVC Evidensia reviews are ‘interesting’. On a much happier note - the wild garlic’s here.

    Vet care too expensive?

    Our local vet practice is under the ownership of probably the biggest in the U.K. I too saw the BBC article re corporate practice methods and the investigation thereof. I had to see the vet today and asked if they were aware of the current spotlight. They knew nothing about it - I emailed the...

    I just enjoyed seeing his enthusiasm for the event. A very happy dog.

    Crufts

    Yes. Too true. I really have a problem with such heartless selfishness. I’m afraid my distaste goes beyond that. People that do not appreciate the responsibility of taking on a new life and their overuse of the first person singular whether it’s nominative or possessive on dog adoption telly...

    Crufts

    Bravo Netherlands - big respect. The cosmetic v. health controversy really hacks me off. I remember a few years ago during the G.S.D. sloping back hiatus some lady Rhodesian ridgeback breeders saying that puppies with no ridges would be euthanised. When the interviewer asked how that could be...

    Hello fellow dog parents

    Glad you got to the bottom of the problem. I wish you well re seeking moral compensation. I’m sure that many are grateful for your post.

    Dog with prosthetic legs

    That poor mite. Words fail me.

    Hi

    Yes, there's no guarantee that removal would be permanent but what's the alternative? However, you're only dealing with dead tissue. Mabel can be the biggest wimp under the sun yet she doesn't make a sound during the removal procedure. She is fearful and is obviously uncomfortable while I'm...

    Hi

    Good to hear from you, Whippylove. Mabel, has also experienced corns which I’ve managed to remove but they do come back. The vet told me that it was a general anaesthetic job so I did some research to effect a D.I.Y job. On the basis that it’s dead skin I just softened the pad and gently pulled...

    Suggestion for collar and lead for my Border Terrier puppy.

    “Avoid those types of harness” - which types?

    Wild whippet puppy

    I take your point, Hemlock. However, she doesn’t need a command to sit as, when we’re eating, she’ll sit and stay in that position. We weren’t really concerned that she wouldn’t sit on request before but it was our neighbour whose patience got Mabel to understand the word “sit”. Before when she...
