I have given Comfortis to my Lappie with food and have had no issues

I have that one at your recommendation Lyndsay and love it, Whiskedaway has tried mine ;) OMG is a fantastic grooming/detangling spray, I don't use it to add volume either.

Change Husky to Akita and you're set! In fact, you could probably change that to say don't get a spitz breed if those are your requirements. :laugh: Hugo obeys me, was easy to train, I trust him off-leash, he bends over backwards to please me during a training session until I get tired or bored.. Maybe I got a mentally retarded dog because he seriously isn't a pain in the ass that Spitz people keep insisting their dog "group" is just generally like :laugh: I would say don't get a Vallhund if you don't want to suffer a stroke every time they bark (which they will LOL, in a very loud, sharp, ear-piercing fashion). Also they shed a hell of a lot. "Moderate shedders" my arse. Can't think of anything else, but I'm particularly biased in thinking that every person should have a Vallhund Oh, don't get one if you hate the constant thud of tennis balls dropped into your lap, though I haven't a clue if it's like that for all Vallhunds or not. Halo is like that too, Dju, but I have a feeling she may be the exception rather than the rule! LOL! My Spitz certainly isn't a pain in the ass, doesn't shed (just drops coat twice a year), she gets on with small animals and listens to me most the time. I'm sure many more do too :)

Very sorry to hear that Rysup, no time for goodbyes ...RIP Sarah

Charlie, and no that's not being spoilt at all, just dearly loved ;) Nice to see you posting too CW EW :)

I use Comfortis for mine for fleas, but she doesn't believe it's fleas that are causing it. I hope Millie has a speedy recovery RubyStar and all is well :)

Thanks OSoSwift and Emery, I told her I think flea collars are useless. I said to try using something like Advocate which covers a host of things. He is spending a fair bit of time in the dirt and at the beach seeing they are camping. I just wondered if there were certain little bities in WA that we had never heard of. If he continues itching she can take him to the vet :)

I know he has a flea collar and she doesn't believe it's fleas.

Hi, I would like to ask you WA folk a question. My sister's family is travelling around WA and are still below Perth, they have taken their little dog with them who has started scratching like mad and is getting a rather red rash and losing coat from doing so. She said another family's dog was doing the same thing. She has noticed small white things in his coat and not sure if they are some sort of mite or a type of lice. Any thoughts on what they could be and what she can use on him? She has bathed him in Maleseb for the itching.

I thought it was illegal to sell it unbleached and it's not worth buying if it is bleached because it has lost it's goodness...may be wrong though!!!

Shoot Wayrod on this forum a PM, he organised transport for my girl from Perth to Adelaide at great rate and has wonderful customer service :)

Only once I've battened down the hatches :laugh: :laugh: Be brave Pity it isn't in SA, I would find this very interesting for my older dog. Tobster it is available to shops at a few wholesalers in SA but I don't know who stocks it in their shop maybe ring around. Thanks MBS I might give some a try, I was meaning the event though.

I would try putting his kibble in something like a kong wobbler, that way he will eat slower and work for it a bit :)

My brother and his wife have 9 yr old twins and have two BC's that were x-showies, they got the first one when the kids were aged 6 and the other one when they were 8, the dogs were both around 2 years old when they got them. Their yard is the average size and they are an active family and both dogs have fitted in so well, they are a perfect fit for them. The kids are always out the back playing ball etc with them and they get daily walks with all the family and go on most their outings and holidays.

Loving them :laugh: Tickle my tonsils please?

Lovely story, definetely an ethical registered breeder. Tracking them down to make that offer is true testament to their commitment to be there for the life of the dog they sold. Very sorry to hear of your friends circumstances.

I love them equally but then I own a birman with attitude

Golden Grove Drake Foodland always have turkey necks and I often get them on special for $2.29kg, most other Drake's have them too.

So sorry to hear this Katie, not sure if you followed what happened to Toby but after his intestinal obstruction operation he got even sicker and they opened him back up thinking they would lose him on the operating table but they had no choice. Luckily he came through and again he took another 5 days before he started making progress and got to come home. His scar tissue had started adhering together and caused another blockage and he had burst cysts in his pancreas. He ended up with pancreatitis, peritonitis was that skinny he had no reserves left, fought like buggery at 10 years of age with a slight heart murmur. So if Toby can do it so can Earl I know how you are feeling and it's terrible, we had Toby up at the vets for over 3 weeks and had even said our goodbyes to him at one stage. Myself, OH and my daughter went up every day for cuddles and got to take him out in the sun and I'm sure that helped a lot, that and the best vet and staff ever Come on Earl, fight like buggery mate, your family need you

Pap. I am thinking a papillon for my retirement dog, just don't want to trip over it

same as Sway linked on ebay but I bid, rather than buy it now. There are a few more coming up. Thankyou

I'm planning on being the SA winner, I've just bought a new gazebo so a new mat would go nicely. If all SA exhibitors ask nicely I will even let them walk on it AFTER they have taken their shoes off ;)

That was great price ReadySetGo, where was it $31.30 inc. postage may I ask, or did you bid for one on ebay? I saw it here http://www.crazysales.com.au/mobile-tool-box-chest.html but you did better. I quite like this one too http://www.crazysales.com.au/stainless-steel-tool-box.html
