  1. Brain fart ....I read supercat in there somewhere and translated that to you wanting grain free cat food LOL I shall give up now
  2. Can she not eat fish at all? Earthborn Holistic Primitive Feline is grain free but has fish proteins as well as chicken eta Canidae do a grain free that is excellent, but again has some fish
  3. People are very quick to judge, I know many well loved dogs belonging to owners who are only inside the house to eat and sleep, spending the rest of their days outside. These dogs are certainly not deprived of human company. They get far more company and attention than dogs who are locked in the house all day while their owners work full time. It sounds as if some believe that everyone spends their days cooped up inside their homes.
  4. The OP's dogs bark and lunge on lead, someone walking past could report them as well. Next time don't stop... move on and don't give your dogs that chance to wind up. The other dog did not leave the yard and you were on the other side of the street? move on.
  5. Yes the VAN looks like muesli you soak it then add your meat to it.
  6. It is possible to be allergic to ANYTHING any substance, food, it is so individual. It does sound however more like a localised reaction something he has been in contact with or a bite.
  7. Yes, VAN works extremely well for this has eliminated the need for frequent expressing in many of my grooming clients, my own dogs have had no anal gland oopsies at all since they have been on VAN.
  8. The chances of picking up hookworm larvae if you wander around in bare feet is very real. I don't think people realise that. Many area have experienced good wet seasons, ideal for Hookworm. Where poop has been there is risk.
  9. I haven't found anything really working that I could recommend maybe try Advantage, in conjunction with Capstar initially to really knock them down.
  10. Maybe you need to put some more information up here so people know exactly what you want them to support, you need to like the FB page to read anything.
  11. It isn't as simple as testing for Epilepsy, it is a case of ruling out all other possible causes for the seizures. If a cause is found such a brain tumour for instance the dog has what is known as secondary Epilepsy, the seizures are caused by a diagnosed condition, if there is no apparent cause for the seizures then it is idiopathic which really is seizures of unknown origin. A full Vet work up is the order of the day.
  12. Too much grain for my liking sadly, we have a shortage of Australian products. eta The Tuna one sounded ok till I read the ingredients it is full of chicken as well as the grains
  13. Some dogs will Vomit, but that is greatly reduced by dosing with a meal as directed. One of my clients said her dog went off its food next meal but then was back to normal, I have had no problems with my own dogs. We have sold quite a lot of Comfortis at work and apart from the odd nausea or vomit have had no other reports of side effects.
  14. Comfortis hands down here. We have experienced a huge Flea explosion this year, and I have had so many clients who normally have flea free pets having big problems with them. Nothing has come close to touching the problem like Comfortis.
  15. Any special arrangement you wish to be made for your pets need to be set out in writing and discussed with everyone that may be involved. You cannot rely on normally cool headed rational people acting the way you would expect when faced with the death or serious illness of a loved one.
  16. Most Pounds do not actually have a Vet on staff, they are simply contracted for the Vet work. It isn't pleasant work, however many are of the opinion that it is better for the animals to have someone who is sensitive to the animals actually helping them to pass. Large shelters and welfare organisations are a different scenario as there is a lot of actual veterinary work not just the Euths and the Vets get to do a lot more to help the animals. ETA If you spend enough time in pounds you will also understand that there are far worse things than death for many of the animals that pass through the system. For them it is a release from suffering.
  17. I can imagine some grub allowing their dog to foul the footpath and in the doorways of shops, People are that lazy and that disgusting, having recently had to get up and move from an outdoor seating area because some revolting piece allowed her dog to cock its leg all over the legs of tables and chairs. The pungent stink of entire male dog urine was overpowering. She later allowed it to cock its leg all over the bottom of the slide of a slippery slide in the park, lovely for kiddies to slide through. Almost daily people allow their animals to soil the waiting room at work and not even mention it to staff. People are grubs. We who are responsible for our pets behaviour can thank the grubs for the ever increasing restrictions placed upon us and our pets.
  18. GAP Qld will assess the dog regardless of where it was sourced, maybe other states are the same. Give them a ring and ask.
  19. Try suggesting they are breaking the law on the FB pages and all that is achieved is your post gets deleted and you get banned if you do it often enough. Huge numbesr of the animals are not even wormed or vaccinated so they certainly won't microchip them. Until the law is actually enforced by councils the bybs will continue on their merry way.
  20. Yes any animal sold or given away must be chipped. Many QLd BYBs think they are avoiding the legislation by selling pups before the age of 8 weeks and unchipped. If you get bored and like a bun fight point out the Legislation on any one of the hundreds of pimp and peddle pet pages on facebook.
  21. Try DLC Australia, they have quite a range but as others have said you wont get SS cage banks cheap DLC
  22. Hives... most commonly caused by an allergic reaction to something eaten, touched, inhaled, or from an insect bite. Maybe think back over the past 24hours and list anything the dog has been in contact with including any foods or medications. The injection would be an antihistamine and yes they zonk you for a while.
  23. When I was using EPO I was using the capsules and my 33kg dog was on 1000mg daily.
