those boots look way too hot to wear all day There are videos on youtube of military dogs wearing similar ones in deserts in the Middle East. I'm guessing the material is nice and breathable thanks :)

thanks , folks - the ruffwearbark'n ones are also under consideration ...

those boots look way too hot to wear all day

..at least leather is a help . Unfortunately, boots are most often made for cold/damp conditions All Weather Muttluks provide protection for hot or cold climate conditions. Protects paws from hot pavement, hot sand, burrs, ice, snow or salt. Self-tightening straps provide a secure fit. Reflective straps for nighttime visibility Genuine leather soles for a soft flexible fit. Comfortable adjustable stretchy leg cuff Machine washable.

you don't need to pour it .. I use a sponge - warm the liquid..and part hair on a longer haired dog ..then rub on/in with the sponge .

give him a chewy biscuit or bone - or a toy that he LOVES ? Don't talk to him at all - apart from using your toilet word ..and praise when he does .....

why not try calendula tea ? it's great for all sorts of things :) read about it HERE!!

the all weather muttluks look promising , thankyou. At least they have leather! LOL they don't have fleece, or padding or fiddly fasteners - all a big plus! A review I read said they were the "Mercedes Benz" of dog boots. :D

red Fox yes :) Thanks. that;s what we will probably have to go back to - the old style . I was hoping for something similar but fully enclosed ....

so'm I , snook - it's a lot of hit&miss ! :)

Ok - a vet that isn't comncerned with 'a little vomit' when dogs are being investigated for illnesses would worry me. Some detective work : In the backyard ..are any structures made of the green treated pine? What sort of water containers do they drink from? Do they drink from a pond or anything? What detergents/carpet cleaners do you use? How often (if any) do you flea bomb thehouse? What insect control do you use around the house/yard? I can't remember if the dogs have any bought treats/toys - what do they chew on ? Do dogs spend time in a shed or workshop or similar? Do they share your shower/bath?

ha!- thought I'd found some nice leather ones ............... except they were used during WW2 !!

Thanks - just about all of them look way too hot for our conditions ... * still lookin' * :)

help - there are masses of prickly things around, and the dogs are all sore footed. there are also lots of tiny burrs which adhere to socks/lycra, etc ...and are incredibly painful on legs/skin. this is one called 'cannonball' - gets to be 1cm diameter -- and very hard. It lodges between toes/pads ..and makes life very painful This is "copperburr" boots are for koolie type dogs ....running over sand/rocks/paddocks of prickles ..up to 10 km a day . thankyou

yes- if a noise or sound scared puppy badly - there could be lasting effects ...IF pup was well used to being pushed around - by days & days doing it at home .... then it could be worth a try :)

thanks folks - I am enjoying playing with this new lens :)

Bigger Trouble ... she certainly lives up to her name - ;) I LOVE this time of the day .. when there is peace ... she went outside , we had a little wander 'round ..mainly for toilet purposes ..a few minutes play .. her weetbix & milk breakfast - then it was a dive back into her crate with a fresh HW bottle . She will emerge again in about an hour. Last night , on her perambulations , she found a very well chewed old bone - so she snuck it in , then spent a few minutes trying to work out how to jump on the couch , with bone .... she eventually managed ! ;)

looks interesting - good work! but remember - a nice warm heated bed for babies if often too warm ,(and can be distressing/uncomfortable) for a bitch. Unless the weather is freezing ..I prefer a lidded "nest" with well insulated floor, so the bitch's body warmth stays in ..and puppies spend their energy climbing to /staying with their mum , and feeding .

That's good :) she will soon be MUCH happier .

This a great news! :)

ta Christina - sounds worse than the irritant!

..*thinks of the backstrap/filet in the freezer* - long way away though Central market has a game meat butcher ... that's all I know ..
