Thank you

Interesting thread Where's the best place to get blade wash and clipper oil? How often would you recommend a blade is sharpened if it's used on one dog about 6 - 10 times a year?

I think it comes down to the taxi companies. They need to make sure their drivers know the laws before they start working!

Thanks everyone, I ordered the cordless Stylus

Thanks everyone It's great to hear from people who've used them. I still haven't decided between cordless or with a cord, I think I'll talk to hubby and find out which would suit him better for jobs around the house and that might help me decide

I've just read about all the models. I think a cordless would be easier for me to handle, but I read that it's noisier. Does anyone have experience with a cordless model and do your dogs mind the noise? The Styles model looks nice and light but the Lithiom-Ion one comes with a carry case and it sounds like the battery lasts longer between charges. Or maybe a model with a cord would be better if they're not as noisy and I also wouldn't have to worry about charging it. I'm just worried it might be ackward with a cord.

Thanks Erny :D Which size sander things do you use on it? The pet dremel came with 430, 431 and 438 but are there other ones that work for nails too?

I've had a pet dremel before and it was great (from ebay.) I now want to get an electric dremel because I've heard they're faster to use on larger dogs nails. I'm confused about which model to get. Does anyone use a dremel other than a pet dremel on their dog's nails? :D

Thoughts are with you Darkrai

To me it's not about whether there are plastic buckles or not, it's about whether they are safety tested.

That was great!

I think you can buy actual chicken mince at the supermarket, and it's for human consumption. It's similar to beef mince, it's the meat minced up. If you're getting chicken pet mince then it's often chicken frames minced up. So it will contain a little bit of meat as well as bone and cartliage. ETA what SecretKei said

I have an assistance dog and we often have kids running up and trying to hug or pat my dog while I'm in the shops. It's pretty annoying but dogs are just a magnet for kids. Occasionally I will overhear a mum or dad explaining to their child why they can't go up and pat or disturb the dog, and I really appreciate it when parents do this so I try to thank them when I do catch them doing it. I think the problem is two fold. Many parents either don't know the correct behaviour around dogs, or they do know it but don't teach their children. The other reason I feel is that some parents don't supervise their kids very well in general. Some parents will let them wander without watching what the kids are doing. And as I said before, dogs seem to attract kids. If the kids haven't been taught appropriate behaviour for when they're near dogs then unfortunately it's often left to the dog owner to put themselves between the kids and their dog. I've had to do this several times, to protect my dog from excited, screaming kids running around.

Sorry I'm not going to be much help, but I just wanted to say you should check with your vet whether it's ok to use fortnightly frontline plus and sentinel spectrum together. Your vet will probably be able to advise you on the other things too. Good luck.

Ok, so she wants to learn how to teach her kids the correct way to approach a dog they've never met before, while the dog is with the owner and they've been given permission to approach the dog? That's a good thing for the kids to learn. The first post in the thread didn't really sound like that was the situation, so that's why I queried it.

It all depends on what you mean by "strange dogs" and the context. Hopefully she isn't teaching them that there's ever a right way for kids to approach a dog they don't know while it's owner isn't there, or when they haven't been given permission to approach the dog.

Yeah I was going to say that too.

I'm interested in finding out about this too. Also, I want to know how long a dog that's had it and is recovering is contageous for.

The chicken bites aren't pure meat.. my dogs didn't like them. I think the delights are the new semi moist range. My dogs liked those! Cubes are pure meat. Ah thanks, that's good to know. I wish they had an ingredients list on the website.

I wonder what the difference between the bites, cubes and delites on that website is. PF do you happen to know? Are they just different sizes? :D

Thank you, I'll look into that one too
