Rebanne

I would be concerned on why this puppy only poo's at night. That is not normal. How are you toilet training him? Is he shy about going with an audience? Does he have a very soft temperament and have you growled at him for an accident or two? Is he holding on until he is in bed now? and I agree all those chews and things are way too many. My adult dogs do soft poo after one dentastick and it's the same colour!

had some outside for 2 or 3 years I think. No rust.

will have to think about one but I don't want to over heat Fern.

what exactly is the zipped tail part? Does anyone put another coat on top? Thinking this might be good for the greys but I always double coat them when out at night. No good if they only partly keep them warm

I had to chase them for the biggest claim for Fern. They said I hadn't supplied something, fair enough, maybe I didn't and they closed the claim. Which meant I had to resubmit everything, bit of a pain. But they never told me! I was only told when I rang them to check on it and "oh sorry you should have been notified" Which I wasn't. As far as I could see what was resubmitted was the same as the first time.

Good on you for checking further and still ask all your questions particularly the health ones from all the breeders you contact. And just for others reading - not all breeders that advertise on gumtree or trading post are shonky. If the good guys don't advertise where the bad guys do then people will never have a chance to get a good quality dog.

they sure do

Just did a quick look around - RSPCA, Medibank and PIA and all came in cheaper then PetPlan for the "12 Month Cover". I will have to read further but I think a couple had their limit ($11,000) set for each year or each diagnoses. So am thinking if you had an ongoing complaint you would be covered up to the $11,000 even if it was spread over more then 12 months. They all only paid 75 or 80% of the claim after taking the excess out though. I've been with Medibank before with no dramas and mainly switched to PetPlan for the acupuncture bit. Lots more reading to do. Renewal is not until mid August so I have plenty of time to research. Thanks for the heads up aliwake.

with a new puppy on the horizon I'll have to do some serious comparing and evaluating. My main worries are bloat or snake/spider bite so theoretically a one off event. I hate reading the small print

excess for me now is $100 and it will go up to $150 for a new dog and I assume the others when renewed. At least I think it is $100, maybe it is $125. Didn't bother me when I was claiming in the $1000's :)

I can't find how much the excess is Rebanne? How much is it now? excess now is $100, for the new cover it is $150 for the 3 stages of 4life cover and for the basic 12 month cover it was more then that and there was increased co payments if your dog was over 9. I didn't take much notice of the 12 month cover cause I was trying to see what the changes were for the type of cover I have now Excess was at the bottom of the tables after I pretended to want a quote.

for what level of cover? The 12 month only or the 4life one?

Put it in the "review" section if you don't want them to delete it. yeah, I couldn't see any normal comments on their wall, so I figured a review was the way to go :) I'm most annoyed that they couldn't even man up and tell me before they took money out of my account. so rude! Just as well you had the money to cover it, but I thought it would be illegal to not tell you prior.

Just went and had a look, mine are currently $45 (monthly) each, a new pup would be $71 or $80, depending on what level I took in the 4 life category. I assume the other two will increase to the same amount when due for renewal. And the excess has gone up. Insurance has paid off for Fern, had over $5000 in bills in a 6 month period, and is on going. I liked the 4life cover but will have to rethink it now and the alternative therapies. I can't afford $210 a month for the dogs insurance.

Thank you, it's the only one that properly loaded for me

Hi brintey sorry I just saw this. I'm moving to Victoria soon so I think I would have to have it re-done when I move anyway. if you are at all tempted in getting a green collar for at least Stan, then find out if the collars are transferable. It will cost you more then that in Vic and the dog has to board at GAP for a few days while they assess them.

Really you need to face facts and your dog is dying. Do the right thing by him, he deserves it.

I just bought a Kia Carnival last week. It is huge! Will easily fit 3 greyhounds and their crap in the back with all the seats out. Certainly fits my current two with the last row of seats still in. Have only driven it around town so far but I am loving it!

Realise Hubby is not going to come to the party and don't let him supervise the dog again

Have they stated what the hold up is? Cause it does seem to be a long time in getting the papers to you.

You need to contact your states governing dog body and talk to them. No good looking up prefixes online. That is not going to help you. You need to tell them your problem, not just ask if they are current members. I did that when I rang them. Explained the situation and then asked if they were still current and financial. And go the reply of it is a privacy issue. I also emailed the president and received no reply. They won't tell you if they are current but they can and should follow up on the no papers arriving. I would be trying Tas first if you are a member there. But I would also be ringing Vic back and saying the dog is from Vic and you have not yet received papers and you want them to take action. It is not the right climate to have an unpapered bull breed, whatever the state. Have you been able to contact the breeders at all? ps do you have a receipt or similar? Scan that and send it through as well. But give them all the details you have, parents, date of birth etc

so now you are going to ask the neighbours?? Really, just report the dog to the RSPCA and move on. If you are not prepared to report then drop it.
