They are just cute for words! I've been telling my partner that Toby needs a sister :)

Congrats on the new arrivals! Can't wait to see more pics of the babies :) just more temptation lol

We haven't been to a clinic yet, should look into choosing one soon!

You Rottie people are so evil :p all your dogs are gorgeous! I've been secretly wanting a Rottie for a couple of years now and getting to meet some and talking to owners at the dog lovers show didn't help lol

Does anyone know any vet clinics near Mulgrave that sell royal canin veterinary diet dry food?

I only have one dog at the moment but I would love to get one more :)

Sure do :) Finely got the ok and picked him up last weekend.

When I used to take the train to the city I always saw people with dogs, no one seemed to mind. Looks like my weekends are going to be full for a while!

So was just wondering where all the Melbourne dolers take there dogs, been looking around on the net for things to do with your dog and would love some suggestions :)

That place looks awesome! I wish we had somewhere like that in Melbourne.

Yep found out they do it on Sundays which is awesome

Thanks guys, i'll keep looking as I need to find out what days they train because unfortunately I cant train on Saturdays because of work.

Knox is close by so that would be good :) . Do they do Saturdays or Sundays? I've tried looking them up online but I cant find anything.

Are there any clubs in Melbourne that do tracking? Thanks :)

Doing really well with the double posts tonight :laugh:

Thanks Kelpiecuddles, hopefully I can find a club nearby that does tracking :)

Oh ok that would be fun to im sure :) First things I need to find a tracking club in Melbourne.

Thanks Ness that's good to hear and good on your old girl :) I think tracking might be the activity for us I know he will love it, he always has his nose to the ground :laugh: Nekhbet what is scent detection?

Oops double post

My partner has already chosen our next dog and the name :laugh: We are getting a Doberman and his name will be Apex.

So now im living in Melbourne and have more chances to do things with my dog ive been looking at what might be suitable for him. Toby is a 10 year old Golden Retriever with arthritis, he is still doing well and is reasonably fit for his age but the only thing I can think of is tracking. So would tracking be suitable for dog like Toby?

I went with the Supercoat lite for now. Unfortunately we only really have two places that have a selection of the higher end dry foods. One doesn't sell small bags which is what I wanted to see if it will agree with him and the other didn't have any light formulas in stock. The joys of living in a small town :laugh: The supercoat lite has 7% fat which is the same amount as the stuff I've been getting from the vets.

Thanks White shepherd mum, i'll see if I can track down Nutro and have a look. Where did you get the milk thistle tablets from?

Thanks Cavnrott I didn't think about checking the dry food's fat content I do know that most of the good dry foods will be expensive but the one im getting from the vets only seems to last around 4 weeks and its a 6 kg bag. Im happy to pay abit more as long the bag of food lasts a bit longer. Im paying nearly $90 for this dry food.

So my 10 year old Goldie has a fat intolerant liver according to the vet and has been on this vet prescribed dry food and he mostly gets boiled chicken with it. I have asked the vet what else he can have and all he said he could really have was vegies and rice. I have also tried chicken and turkey mince for some verity. My problem is the dry food im giving him is getting to expensive and its only a 6kg bag. So I was wondering if anyone has some suggestions of a low fat dry food I can give him also anything else low in fat I can add to his meal.
