Just an update - we finally received the range yesterday and I have to say I'm impressed with the ingredients. Going to use my test dummy dog (Evie - okay, she's not a dummy lol) on the Ocean Fusion as she's a big fish fan. Sags great news!

you need to teach your dog to drive ahead of you

OMG ~tj~ this is AMAZING! :p ;) I put it in the first post (hope you don't mind) so it's easier for people to find ;)

I have a gazebo so I can't help. Sorry :D

Can anyone please recommend a nice place half way between Sydney-Brisbane that has some nice, dog friendly beaches and dog friendly accommodation/camping?

you can totally bath them now and treat them in a week the treatments usually last quite longer than the advertised time so few days will definitely be OK

If you are using a spot-on worming/flea treatment I would not wash them now. You are going to strip all the oils and the treatment will not be as effective. I would apply it now and wash them a week later.

thank you so much Sagittarian do you know if any pet stores in Sydney area /online stores are going to stock it ?

When is it going to be available in Australia?

I totally agree

Ditto ;)

I vote for the 2x2 method Thought one of my dogs within 3 weeks with some pretty awesome entries

SA Adelaide 'Fido's Funhouse' www.fidosfunhouse.com.au It's about 10 minutes from the city in the Minicozzi shopping centre. 305a Payneham Road, Royston Park. Ph 8363 4446. They have raw meats, bones, chicken necks & frames, etc.

sounds like she did great!!! we wanna see her!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

WOW way to go Kenzie!!!!!! Can anyone explain to me what is HTM and feestyle? Is there a website that explains the criteria? What happened to Ness? do you have any vids of her?

Check out this thread: http://www.dolforums.com.au/index.php?showtopic=121109 If you think the brown objects are ticks, remove them with your fingernails or with a tick remover as soon as possible. Once you remove them analyze them to see if they look like anything on the chart posted in the thread above. My dogs got heaps of brown ticks a couple of months ago. Mostly on their tummies, but also one of her face. The itchiness is usually localized to where the tick is attached.

I wouldn't go to the park before obedience. What's the point of making her tired beforehand if in real live she would pull more when less tired?

I don't think Bub is lazy... but the owner might be

I would DEFINITELY recommend South Coast Dog Training Club and their Relationship Classes (very basic obedience before you start agility). http://www.scdtc.org/agility.htm I would also recommend the beginners agility classes at Sutherland Dog Club (you can call Ms J Taylor (02) 9525 7342 to ask when can you start etc).

for the update ellz

I have a PhD in biophysics and have worked in a lot of biochemistry and molecular biology labs in US and Australia. The results/scientific data that you want would be very hard to obtain. They would cost a lot of money and time (because you would have to monitor animals throughout their lives as you are looking at long time effects). The drug companies are not going to run these experiments because it could potentially undermine their product. Public institutions would have very hard time obtaining grants for these studies as it would be very very costly and time consuming. I am not saying that there is or there isn't a correlation for over-vaccination and cancer. I am saying that there are reasons why the scientific data is lacking and will be lacking for a very long time. Now if you want to stick to the position that because there is no scientific data it means the claims are not true, that's fine. But you need to be aware why there is no scientific data on the subject. Sorry, I am a scientist and am always skeptical about any scientific evidence and also about the lack of thereof.

They eat the bones Whole, small, raw/fresh fish are VERY healthy :rolleyes:

My dogs vote for Snooza cuddler.

My dogs eat raw fish all the time (at least once or twice a week)
