I have started feeding VAN plus kangaroo meat, but notice that it is coming out in their poos. They also get a variety of either frozen drumsticks, frozen pilchards, raw egg and/or yogurt Is this the way it should be?

What is P

I have used Cetrizine in the past for a dog with reverse sneezing

Money heals all wounds apparently . She would be covered by medibank. I would bet the two dogs were entire

& 99% of them in the Council Pound are still entire, same with the cats

Pet insurance - who are the best ?
sheena replied to persephone's topic in Health / Nutrition / Grooming
I carry my own insurance. I worked out 4 years ago when I got my new pup, what the minimum monthly premium would be for two border collies & have been putting that away in a special account ever since. One of my dogs is now elderly & probably wouldn't be able to be insured anyway, but I keep putting away each month into the account. Even with deductions I have accumulated over $4000 -
Sorry can't answer your question but what is a Cockalier. Never heard of them, is it a new breed?

According to the post on Facebook, it is an ongoing battle with RSPCA not doing anything about it & also the council. It is a nightmare for her neighbours as well as those poor animals

My boy hates thunderstorms & can detect them coming even before there is any rumbling. I give him Vetalogica chews (2) plus I have a wide cloth collar that I spray with Adaptil. It seems to work. He is still a bit stressed but he doesn't want to chase & bark at it anymore. Just hides away in my bedroom. He feels secure in there apparantly

Yes. I have more photos, as it is in my community area & is constantly being put up on our community facebook page

Thank goodness someone else raised that affliction. It is so annoying that I have given up trying to read his/her comments

Same thing happens at dog club Christmas parties

What breed is suitable for older people ?

I have one in my class & while I think they are a lovely dog, I agree, their howling would wake the dead -

sheena replied to Christina77's topic in General Dog Discussion
That would have been Kelly Gill with her lovely border collies & Alex, the Pap at the Dog Lovers Show. A Google of The Wonderdogs will bring up lots of videos of Kelly & Alex -
What breed is suitable for older people ?
sheena replied to Christina77's topic in General Dog Discussion
My chosen breed is border collies, but if ever I could no longer have a BC, my choice would be a Papillion. I couldn't have one living here on the farm, as I would be worried of him/her being taken by a wedge tailed eagle or even just a chicken hawk . I didn't know that they didn't have an undercoat....that's interesting !! -
Very strange. I have grown up with horses all my life (70yrs) & never seen a chestnut that colour before. Maybe it is the colour that comes out on my computer screen as being not chestnut
-
Maybe they should have let the horse do its thing & kick the f***g dog in the head, which is what usually happens
-
Both look like bays to me. The one on the beach is a different horse...that one is a chestnut

What dry dog food are people using?
sheena replied to JulesP's topic in Health / Nutrition / Grooming
I have been feeding the top of the range from Supercoat for the past 12 months. There are two, True Origin Fish & True Origin Chicken & I alternate the two. It is about $39 for a 7 kilo bag, but I buy it when it is on special & stock up. Woolies sell it, so it is easy to get. My dogs love it & they are both looking good. They also get frozen pilchards, chicken drumsticks & raw eggs -
I have asked a few people lately as to why they have chosen an oodle over a pure bred poodle or whatever the other breed happens to be & the answer is that they are available imediately . Basically they are "I want it now" people & they can't see the importance of going on a waiting list for the pure bred, & they dont care what it cost. They are readily available & with covid lockdowns & working from home lots more people have bought companion animals

Goat horns or frozen kongs filled with mince ( I used kangaroo mince)or stuffed with chicken hearts (frozen)
-
I used to feed Blackhawk before they changed ownership a long time ago. With all this wet weather I have gone to smaller bags so it stays fresher & for the last 6 months I have been feeding Supercoat True Origin. It is in 7 kg bags & comes in a fish and also a chicken. You can buy smaller bags to try first. Available in the supermarkets & expensive for a supermarket brand, but my two border collies are doing well on it & gobble it down
-
I agree entirely. It does'nt matter what you refer to your dogs as. It is not hurting anyone if you choose to call your dog your baby or your kid or whatever. I am telling my two all the time that I love them, & if I want to shower them with kisses & let them snuggle into me at night, then so be it. I call them "puppies" as this is a much kinder sounding word then "dog" If they didn't like it, then I wouldn't. Dogs don't know what you are saying, but they know by the tone of your voice, whether or not it is something nice
