    French Bulldog losing weight, vomiting and shivering.

    Unfortunately there are not many of our vets that are qualified to prescribe food for our dogs! Please do consider changing your vet to another practice or even better, a Holistic vet will probably have more interest and knowledge in an appropriate food/diet that could help. Please read the...

    Yearly "Flea and Tick" injection.

    I may have a look at that!

    Yearly "Flea and Tick" injection.

    Mmm, that's a good idea, do you think it would work on our Cockers. None are spayed and all have silky coats just a couple have more protection on their legs.

    Yearly "Flea and Tick" injection.

    Ticks are not our problem, they can be easily removed, it is the occasional outbreak of persistent fleas that are a nuisance. I have spoken to our vet about the 1 year treatment and our vet reports that it appears to be quiet reliable. He agrees that once it is administered it will work for the...

    Yearly "Flea and Tick" injection.

    Oh excellent Hemlock, I will ask the vet that one. Thank you. I will have to write myself a list for my vet.

    Yearly "Flea and Tick" injection.

    I will definitely ask questions on Tuesday about the product and your comment about it's strength at beginning and end of the years treatment too. I also wonder about side affects. I worry that this is an injection to last a whole year, unlike a pill to pop or a short term spray or a monthly...

    Yearly "Flea and Tick" injection.

    I have just received a notification from our vet practice. It mentions a new yearly injection against fleas and ticks. I do not use monthly chemicals on our dogs but will sometimes use one off treatments prescribed by the vet to sort out persistent outbreaks. I just wonder if anyone has used...

    Does my dog have worms?

    I would suggest a vets strength for wormers, and I prefer tablets by mouth, at least you know the whole dose has gone down. Frontline is better known for flea and tick treatments rather than wormer's (as already mentioned). I have just checked the doses of drugs in Frontline and Drontal...

    Does my dog have worms?

    It could be something she has eaten. When did you last worm her, what with and where from?

    Dry food hater

    Have you ever considered trying the "Millies Wolfheart" kibbles or tinned foods (online purchases only) and prices include delivery. I am a raw feeder and usually suggest the raw product but I always keep some Millies kibble as a back up for when I forget to take meat from the freezer. If you...

    That's a new one on me too!

    Please tell me this will get better...

    Working type Cockers and Springers do very well on a raw diet with natural protiens for our canine friends. Oat grains are used in their night time biscuits. They appreciate regular and exciting walks, I would not recommend using a cage too often! They require freedom of movement as any...

    Won't stop nibbling

    There is often an underlying reason, some of which can be as simple as diet. What are you feeding her and the brand name!

    Frontline spray 500ml

    I have just googled somewhere that the Maize weevil is smaller than the wheat one!! Please correct me.

    Frontline spray 500ml

    Yes judy they are the wheat/grain weevil in some wild bird food that I bought (cheap because of the infestation). They are all under control and being treated in sealed containers. I believe the Maize weevil larger than these" little" blighters

    Frontline spray 500ml

    So far this summer we have been lucky and had no fleas but a few ticks. I want the spray for something quiet different (corn weevil ) it stops them dead in their tracks !

    Frontline spray 500ml

    Thank you Judy, Your second option is the correct one and with a 500 ml option. I will register the girls on their site. Again, thank you.

    Frontline spray 500ml

    Why can I not find any Frontline spray 500ml. I don't very often buy it but would like a large bottle now. The largest appears to be 250 ml ! Any ideas ?

    Dog Won't Eat Anallergenic Diet

    Have you considered a meat and veg diet only, either raw or very gently steamed or poached? You will know exactly what you are giving her with no hidden chemicals or rubbish fillers! Unfortunately kibble alone is not very good, although there are a few of better quality that do not use cheap...
