Can anyone tell me where I can buy white polypropoline bags to use as covers on standard metal dog beds.

Can anyone give me the name of a GOOD kennel wash/disinfectant that doesn't cost an arm and a leg.

I don't get the logic of that! Why have 10 dose vials which cause some or most of it to be wasted if there is a shortage of the vaccine? I'd say, simply to get more money from all of us that export and breed dogs - you know, all us "rich" people.

Your right, I just checked and it says must be used within 3 hours !!!! Looks like thats the last time I get it done locally. I can travel 4hrs to Coffs Harbour as there is an AQIS vet there. I thought I was saving $$ on fuel costs to get it sent here I'll know for next time.

Has anyone else out there come across this problem??? How about the rural breeders that export pups??

Nope, can't do that either. Apparently this vial can only be used by the Vet that is is allocated to. I don't have another litter planned til late in the year, so it's just a waste ! Maybe in the not too distant future the vaccine will be in short supply again . . . if it gets thrown away everytime it's sent to the country.

Being a rural based breeder I have just had one pup vaccinated for rabies by my local vet. We had to apply for approval through the correct channels and the vaccine was sent out with an authority to administer my vet. BUT the vial sent was a 10 dose vial and so we had to pay for all 10 doses! I phoned the authorities and they informed me that the company that manufactures the vaccine has stopped making it in single doses. The vial has a use by date of 2014 BUT the instructions say that once accessed it must be used within 40days. I phoned the authorities who told me that there was nothing I could do about it. So now instead of the rabies vaccination costing ME $90 odd - it has cost ME $378.35 !!!! I advised the buyer to expect approx. A$100, I can't now expect him to pay for the 9 doses that are in my fridge. Has anyone else had this problem???? Apparently the single doses have only recently been withdrawn.
