We have had a police dog handler in our shop and I am sure that he said he only kept the dogs for about 4 or 5 years too. Maybe they start to lose their enthusiasm for the job after that.

It took about a week for me to get my first rescue grey. But every dog rescue place works differently. Might be worth giving them a phone and asking if everything is ok and if the dog is still available.

I thought I would add this additional information that I just got this morning. "Neil, just to let you know, Matt already has an exsisting auto immune problem this has presented itself in the fact that his body is attacking his claws and they fall off on a regular basis or have to be...

Thankfully we found places for all of the dogs. Which was really good going. The RGT did play a big part in it all.

Hello all, Matt's owner has had him at the vets today and this is what she has to say. "Hi greyt people, well went to the vets this morning with matty (to see my own vet) and he was really concerned as he took one look at matt and said, he's not right is he, so after an hours consultation we...

Thanks for the replies, I will pass them onto the dogs owner. Why she has not taken the dog to her own vet I do not know.

I am a member on another forum and the following was posted on it. I have asked permission to post it on here to see if anyone has experienced anything like it and can maybe make a guess at what is wrong. Thank you. Hi everyone just came back from the vets from picking matt up, and im...

I stumbled across this site a while ago. It has some interesting information on it. Whether you believe it or not it still makes an interesting read. http://www.canine-health-concern.org.uk/ Click on vaccine.

I own and run my own tattoo and piercing studio. It really doesn't get better than this. I enjoy meeting new people and we get all sorts in our place. Its a very interesting job. I can even take my dogs to work as they have their own area out the back. They even have their own comfy couch...

I have fed mine a variety of raw meats without freezing it first. They have been fine. I also know a few other people that feed raw and have done for years, again without freezing all the time and their dogs are fine too.

I have been feeding my dogs on raw food for the past few months. I use raw chicken - wings, legs and carcases. I also feed lamb ribs and mince, beef mince and any offal that I can get. I also use fish, fruit and veg. I puree a combination of vegetables and mix it through mince. Same with...

I feed mine on raw food. They were all starting to get a bit fussy on kibble. I tried a variety of different ones and there would always be one of the four refusing to eat it. I still have a bit of a problem with the raw diet, one wont eat chicken at all and gets a bit fussy if I try to feed...

I did a lot of research before I put my dogs on a raw food diet and I found a couple of sites where the people fed their dogs bones straight from the freezer during the summer. They said it was a good way for the dogs to cool down. I have given mine a couple of partly thawed chicken wings and...

The RGT have very kindly offered to help us out. It was another member of GAGAH that has dealt with them so I do not know to what extent it will be. Any help is greatly appreciated. I thank you all for your suggestions. Neil

Thanks, I will find out if anyone has tried the RGT and if not I will give it a go. Could you get me the details of the trainer in balerno? Any possible leads would be a big help. If I take in anymore I will probably get divorced. thank you so much for your help.

Hello all, I help out a greyhound rescue group in Scotland (Give A Greyhound A Home) and they are needing homes for 30 dogs really urgently. There is a trainer up here who is retiring due to ill health and all the dogs have to be rehomed very soon. If anyone can help could you please PM me or...

When feeding tinned sadines, what are they in? I get mine john west sardines in sunflower oil as I have not seen the asda ones at 18p a tin. I will be looking out for them the next time I am in. I feed mine a lot of lamb bones as well. My butcher gets me rib cages and doesn't charge for...

I found this site. There may be more articles relating to veg but I have not found them yet. http://www.ifr.ac.uk/public/foodinfosheets...it_and_veg.html http://www.ifr.ac.uk/public/foodinfosheets/edpcrunch.html

I though that you loose some of the nutrients into the water that is why steaming the veg is a better way to cook. If the water is kept - as in soup - then most of the nutrients are making it to the dog. I will do a bit more research on it. They loved their soup this morning.
