What can I use to clean wounds on my little whippets legs? She has managed to get some scrapes (nothing too major but definitely cleaned properly) so I can make sure they don't go infected? Thanks

We have some excess kangaroo chunks defrosted that Dolly won't get through. How do I dry them in the oven as treats for her??

Looking for some advice please. Dolly and I are adjusting to life just being the two of us! One thing I have noticed is her fear of the car. She has never been particularly keen on the car but Cash loved it and would spring right in anytime ready to go. Dolly just kind of followed but never...

I have heard about the self heating heat pads for pets and wondered if anyone has any experience with them? My little Dolly dog doesn't like to be cold and is used to snuggling in with Cash to keep her cosy. I have been putting her fleece on her when I go out (when I am at home we snuggle...

Me again! The Cash saga continues. After his chronic rhinitis diagnosis he has been on steroids which have helped with his sneezing and runny nose. However his cough has gotten worse. It is a very shallow sounding cough which is worse at night and first thing in the Morning (particularly...

Why do some of them have such an issue with it? Cash has just been diagnosed with Rhinitus and I know that one of the effects of this is unexplained weight loss. For the pas few months before diagnosis he was losing weight but eating as normal so when he finally got his x ray and diagnosis the...

Hi all Not been here for a while! So My Mr Cash has finally got a diagnosis after months and months of trying all sorts for apparent "hayfever"....in actual fact he has chronic rhinitis. He initially had an antibiotic and something to clear the mucus from hi snose. That is finished and he...

Hi all looking for some more friendly advice and knew this was the place to come So my 6 year old whippet had developed a bit of a habit.  When I leave for work him and my other dog are left (crated) until the dog walker comes in.  Cash has always been happier being crated as he was quite an...

Can anyone help. My little whippet girl has some red "sores" almost like a rash and some sort of yellow headed spots on the belly and chest. Any ideas what it could be? I am thinking it may be after running along the edge of the crop field? I can phone the vet in the morning but don't think it's...

I have posted before about my 6 year old whippet and his hayfever which results in a lot of sneezing and reverse sneezing. We have had 3 trips to the vet - initially I was told to keep him inside in the middle of the day which I do.  on the second visit I was told to give him piriton which I do...

My 6 year old whippet has always been prone to reverse sneezing, particularly at this time of year. He goes through spells of it being really bad and then it disappears for a while. I tend to massage his throat to ease it and that helps. He has been having a wee bout of it for the last...

excuse me I need your expertise. I picked up a couple of whole rainbow trout that were reduced to 93p and they have been in the freezer for the last fortnight. I have never fed the dogs whole fish before do I just give them as is? Or do they need de-boned??

Excuseme....I need you!!!! Tonight I bought lamb shoulder for the whippets. They haven't had it before is it OK to give them whole? I like to give them as much as possible without chopping up as I feel they benefit from working foe it. It does look quite tough though...

My little whippet boy loves all toys and is the most playful dog I have ever owned! He gets so excited when I bring new toys home. A couple of weeks ago I brought them some new toys home (as I often do) and he has taken a real shine to one of them! He will literally carry it about everywhere...

Due to my little Dolly taking a tumble and suffering an injury (or more specifically, re injuring an old injury from a previous owner grrrrr) it is almost certain she will develop arthritis in one hip. She is fed raw and I make sure to give her sufficient oily fish, olive oil etc for her...

Any recommendations? Preferably one that does hand stripping (Akita) found loads online but wanted to check for recommendations first?

So cash's epilepsy really isn't bad in comparison to many other dogs but he has a very small seizure on our walk tonight and I am just so upset for him. He loves life and it doesn't affect him but makes me so sad. He is currently cuddled into me and I am fighting tears. I don't think it helps...

I can't help it...I am addicted...I love them. And I am getting broody for a 3rd (I have always had 3)...I have been having a sneaky look online to see if there are any needing homes! I tend not to buy puppies - personal preference, I prefer to rehome a slightly "older" dog as opposed to a...
