Ive not long got back from our vets, I dropped Inca off this morning for them to be able to examine her under sedation again, they have taken x rays and its not good news !! In a nut shell where the synthetic line is attached to the back of her knee there are two spurs of bone which act as an...

It can take a while for you to see results when changing foods, in respect of Dexters skin etc. when changing over from one food to another it is prudent to do it gradually, add small amount of the new food to the old food and reduce the old food in favour of the new over a period of several...

Hi Benchster, I have 4 Labs although only Daisy we had as a pup our others have been rescue at 11 months, 2 years and 5 months of age when we got them. Playtime is a great time to set ground rules and try some basic training,Clicker training with young dogs can be very rewarding for both you...

Following a natural veterinarian from the states on Face Book, she posted this link earlier to do with allergy/intolerances of ingredients found in pet food. Seems testing for dogs will be coming soon for allergies, this will make so many peoples lives easier and dogs happier as a result, my...

Oh don't be disillusioned by Labs , they arn't all well behaved , some can be little buggers. Our boy Finlay loves to chase our others and rough them up just for the fun of it, Daisy is aloof and really only loves me she puts up with everyone else, Jessica rolls in fox poo and Inca..........ok...

lol, terriers are an acquired taste, it makes me laugh when people talk about getting an easy to cope with dog and mention JRT >_< they soon change their minds when i tell them not all good things come in small packages :> We fostered a terrier cross a few years ago , he lived with us while...

If he is your only dog then getting a crate for the boot may be your best bet, cover with a blanket to keep him calm., but what i would try to do is to teach him to be quiet by using clicker training, you start this by teaching him to speak, when he barks, click and reward and give the command...

You can get something called pet corrector, its just compressed air in a can which makes a loud hiss as you depress the nozzle ,it s a noise dogs are not familiar with and as such it startles them, you may need to get fairly close for it to be effective but you dont need to point it right at...

Puppy pads are for us to be lazy with, they are ok in a crate for over night use but as said already they tell the dog inside is ok, if you have a pad that has been used take it out side show your dog the pad, let him sniff it and wait with him, wait, wait wait and wait a bit more, urging him to...

They could come into season at any time from now, small dogs come into season at an earlier age than larger breeds, sometimes their first season can be so light you won't even notice it and this can be called a silent season. We noticed Daisy's rear end becoming more swollen in appearance , by...

Thanks guys, were keeping our fingers crossed too. :thumbsup:

soya is another thing that can trigger a reaction , strangely enough used in some hypo-allergenic foods.

How is your aim ??? how about a water pistol which you can fire at him from a distance to discourage him, it seems nothing has deterred him yet but being shocked by a squirt of cold water may make him think twice, i mean a big water pistol by the way like a super soaker, this means you wont have...

Hi Zaras i feed RAW and have done for 4 years or so, i did this as a result of reading into what commercial dog food contained after Daisy our then Lab pup had the most awful tummy troubles for months, we then adopted our second Lab who was terribly over weight at 11 months of age and looked...

Not good new to report today, I thought i was imagining it yesterday when i heard a faint clunk coming from Inca's leg, tried to listen again as she was walking back to the house and couldn't hear it so was just mindful of her and tried to keep her cooped up , today though i have heard it again...

Not too bad Strix, she is'nt too happy about putting much weight through it, she will have a few little steps then hops, Im hoping the vet says on Tuesday that we can do some physio on it, as soon as her stitches are out i can get her to hydro, there is an amazing therapist near us. She is a...

Thought i would post a pic of Inca's little chicken leg. :(

They are very lovely dogs .

Get in there with the raw carrot !!!!!x

I always find trying to apply status to a dog ie: number 1 number 2 hard, as most animals will find their natural balance as a pack if this means the son becoming number 1 then so be it, some dogs dont do well under pressure to be leader and most dogs will happily just follow as being leader is...
