Our Shih-Poo is 6 months old. He sleeps all night and goes in his crate at around 10.45pm. We always let him out into the garden for his last toilet just before we go to bed but this means waking him up and coaxing him out into the garden. It just seems so cruel although he always has a wee. So...

Our Shih-poo is 5 months old and we have been worming him regularly. Today we caught him in the garden and he had possibly eaten a snail. Should we be concerned about this for lungworm or are we being overly cautious? He’s currently wormed with Drontal oral suspension. I’ve been researching...

She said once he reaches 8 weeks he needs worming every 4 weeks and not 2. However I've read that it should still be every 2 weeks until he...

As a new first time dog owner this is it first question and I’m sure people can help. Toby is a 9 week old Shih-Poo. We have had him for a week now. On the odd occasion he has had to be left home alone for short periods of 20-30 minutes. Sometimes I’ve left him in the crate with the door closed...

Hi all. We have our very first dog called Toby. He’s a 9 week old Shih-Poo. He lives with myself my wife and two teenage daughters in Northumberland. We have never owned a dog before and are complete newbies. This is not a decision we’ve made lightly and we’ve been thinking about it for the past...
