    Myvets24-7 is a specialist in sight hounds. We couldn't get a quick appointment for Morgan and they recommend the Mandeville hospital. We still had a long discussion with the surgeon though. My hounds mean the world to us,and any vet who will not listen to us will not touch our beloved pets. We...

    Thanks,my dogs have been on raw diet from when they were weaned. Morgan was put straight back on his natural diet as soon as he returned home. His stool was back to normal the next day. The vet hospital is aware of the effects of anaesthesia on greys and we fully discussed this before...

    What is your dogs favourite food..

    I thought my greys were strange as they love salads. Lettuce, cucumber, celery , parsley and a small plum tomato cut in half in a salad. It's a once a week treat for them. They just go mad when i get the salad stuff out the fridge.

    Combined feeding

    Just Hi, I am referring to uncooked raw chicken legs.l have seen what happened to a friends dog a few years ago. Such a bone puncturing his throat while chomping on a raw chicken leg. Admittedly it was or might have been a freak accident, but I'll never forget the howl of pain nor the...

    Combined feeding

    I do agree with most posts here, dogs will eat anything. The trick is to find what you dogs like and is happy and healthy on. There's no hard and fast rules to feeding. Don't let so called scientific debate sway you as each dog's eating preference is different . It's up to us to find the happy...

    Combined feeding

    Chicken legs(the drumstick ) have a thick bone and also a long thin needle like bone. It's this bone that is a problem for all dogs. It can cause a perforation if swolled whole. It's better to give raw wings or chicken backs. Better to be safe than sorry.
