Are these people sure the dog over the roads the father coz unless they saw the dogs mating the father could be any unneutered dog in the neighborhood and then you wouldnt know what your getting

Watch out for snakes if you go to Lilydale Lake a dog got bit by a snake last year

Wheat starch, glycerine, vegetable fibres, lecithin, natural colourings and flavourings.

Really wholesome ingredients and just what dogs need to keep them healthy Id rather give mine a freash meaty bone

Thanks very much anniek

Thank You ;)

Can anyone tell me the dosage for a 30kg dog or does it give a dosage for dogs in the directions.I thought the directions only covered sheep and goats.Is it completely safe for dogs?

Where do you buy Panacur?The only containers Ive seen have been 5 liters and about $400 can you get smaller amounts?

If someones lost there dog the first place they go is the pound and if someone keeps the dog at their house they might never find it.Not everyone would check newspapers or internet sights but most will check at the pounds.Im think in some states its law that strays have to go to the pound otherwise the finder is keeping something that in the eyes of the law doesnt belong to them

Im currently feeding my 7 month old lab Artemis Large breed puppy. His pooh has been kinda soft lately..a bit messy to pick up around teh backyard. Its not runny..but its not firm either.

I was considering changing to Nutro Large breed puppy, and was wondering what the gereal consensus was. Or am I better off switching back to Innova Large Breed puppy which is what started him on...?

THanks!

I tried artemis and my dogs had soft stinky poop and lots of farts I kept perseveering with it but it didnt agree with them.I got some Nutro a few weeks back and theyve got good firm poop now and both of them are going great.So yeah Nutro works for mine.

Theres a thread in general about vege dogs

Roo goes straight thru my dogs I dont buy it anymore

I also want to take her to puppy school so she can get properly trained, what age can she go there?

Here in Melbouren a lot of the schools will take them from 8 weeks or 2 weeks after their first vacc, but they dont train the puppy they teach you how to train it.You will have to take the dog to obedience school after puppy preschool labs can be very full on pups that are full of energy so regular training at an obedience club and at home is super important.You need to keep their minds busy and give them plenty of exercise(how much depends on their age when theyre young) and things to do.

Id comply with the rules if Staffords become restricted.I couldnt handle having a restricted breed and being scared all the time that a neighbor or someone would dob me in that would be hell.And I wouldnt mind betting that dobbing will increase with all this media hype because more and more people are going to know about them and heaps of people are terrified of them even though most of them have never met one.Ive got a staffordx here and sometimes people cross the road to avoid her she loves people and looks more like a little lab than a pitbull but shes short and brown and stocky and thats enough.

Id move to keep my dog but then theres people who carnt move and they should comply if they want peace of mind otherwise theyll be living in fear of their dog being taken.I couldnt stand it myself

I dont reckom it will matter.My brother gave me half a bag of one of those special breed foods once coz his dog wasnt keen and mine loved it it would have been the GSD one.There both crossbreeds :D

I thought you could only get it from PP or Pets Good Direct one of PPs subsiduarys. Im pretty sure PP are the only people who can import it thats why I never buy it

Yeah i'll see how she goes on the RC and change to Artemis if her condition (coat, poos etc) deteriorate in any way

Artemis gave my dogs awful farts and their poop smelt rotten

Ive never heard of Beastcare

I saw it at my local pet warehouse the other week and picked up a small bag.Dogs like it theyre lookin good and poop is firm so Im really chuffed with it

My dogs wernt to keen either and didnt do that well on it and I ended up donating most of the second bag to Animal Aid

Most dogs dig its part of their nature Ive found the best way is to put poo in the holes this usually stops them digging but then they go on to somewhere else

With the stealing stuff the only way to stop it is to put things away so he carnt get them I guess if you leave it out then its fair game as far as hes concerned.Most people when they get a pup soon learn to be tidy and put things away

Yep what Aidan said the crates just for overnight and the times when you carnt watch the pup keeping it in a crate for 45 minutes in every hour is much to long. Also youll have to get up and toilet the pup in the night coz if you dont and it carnt hang on itll be forced to dirty the crate and thats not good.

Wouldnt it be easier to put in a dog door and teach them to use that.

The better quality foods - no matter what price bracket they fall into - are better quality because of the ingredients, not the name.

Yeah I agree with this Ive tried the cheaper foods and I always get lots of poop and have to feed three times as much food.The cheap stuff doesnt work for my dogs but of course some dogs may be ok on it.

Thanks for your help Erny Ill get some on my way home

Thanks Diva Im gonna pop home at lunch time and check on him he was rubbing his muzzle a long the carpet before I left for work and Im worried hell get dirt in them if he does it in the yard.I think Ill leave him inside this afternoon.

Mag got a nasty scratch off a cat this morning.He was sniffing at a bush and the next minute this cat comes flying at him and now hes got 4 gouges down his nose.There was quite a bit of blood. Ive washed it in salt water and it looks ok is this anything to worry about or will he need abs.Someone told me once that cat scratchs often get infected.

Hey sasha.This is normal for pups and he doesnt know hes doing anything wrong hes just doing what dogs do hes exploring.They stop doing it so much as they grow up but my 2 oldies still eat grass and dirt and bird and cat and possum poop from time to time
