Totally Agree, do they have a 'Plan B' Agree again, you cant save every dog. Some rescue groups also seem to 'use' the 'unhealthy dog that needs alot of work' as a form of promotion for how good they are, RescuEGOds, I call them. There have been several dogs that have been saved with horrific injuries that really it would be in the dogs best interest to be pts, but instead they post the 'progress' as a form of promoting their rescue. The dogs will never have quality of life and can never be rehomed. And this last post I totally agree with, I have seen dogs in commercial kennels that have been 'rescued' but are still here some 8 mths later and I have never seen anyone visit them from the rescue group who 'saved' them, again where is their quality of life and what damage had been done to their mental state, and how can that rescue group rehome a dog they have never visited or interacted with? and finally, my last point of view stems from the original question about taking in the dog and THEN asking for donations, it is not unlike the Rescue Groups who put saves on dogs and get them out of the kennels and THEN put out posts of 'URGENT FOSTER CARERS NEEDED' we have a dog coming.????? Thats defineately putting the cart before the horse. Of course all of this is IMO :-)

No clue what that stands for??

Just an update on my online purchase of Comfortis 18-27kg from Petsgard.com.au. Very impressed, great communication, I received emails when the order was received, payment received, order processed and order despatched. Great turn around time and $61.00 delivered and the item has a 2013 used by date. So defineately recommend them.

Came onto this thread to write exactly what stonecutter has written. Safe for everyone unless you burn yourself!

Thanks everyone, I have just sent my payment to Petsgard.com.au, I looked at everyones posts and they still appeared to be the cheapest (except for this one above (k9angel) but only by $3) will let you all know how the transaction goes, I had found them mentioned in some other threads too from a couple of years ago so figured they must have been around a while. As for priceless pets, they do seem to over state the 'usual petshop and vet prices' quite significantly to make them appear cheaper, but of all the posts here they still seemed to be the most expensive, so might be worth looking into some of these other places when you next place your orders :-)

Dont list 'Comfortis' :-(

Hi everyone, Just wondering which online pet supplies (medications) you have all used and found to be good and reliable. Am looking at buying 'Comfortis' online but don't know which online stores can be trusted. I've looked at 'Petsgard' they are in QLD, anyone used them? Prefer to buy form an Australian site too. Thanks Robyn

So they must know where they are.

Is 'Dogmovers' a legitimate dog transport company and they are using their name or is there no such business at all and it is them disguising themselves as the dog transport company they are using? As an aside, has anyone seen the movie 'Catfish'? This whole senario reminds me of this movie. (and the movie is a documentary, not fiction)

and we use a harness which we got from America on the internet called 'Nordkyn Outfitters' and it's great

Hi I too rescued a Husky in December from the pound. He was 7 years old then, so now he's 8. I had never had a Husky b4 either. (German Shepherd and Labradors b4) When we got Humphrey he was very underweight and even now he is not at all food motivated and so it was very hard to get weight onto him. We bought him a Kong, which he looked at and gave us a look like 'what do you want me to do with that?'. He's completely not interested in any treats, and doesnt even show any interest when we are eating our dinner. Very different to German Shepherds and Labradors We feed him Nutro Natures Choice (Chicken) dry food and wet. (You can get it at Petbarn - its currently on special!) We tried the lamb version too but he prefers the chicken, and it gives him nice firm stools. He also has an easily upset stomach, he may love bones and the like but they upset him. He also has days when he doesnt eat at all and then he starts again, so we now dont panic about that, he's just different to any other dog we've had As for the Furminator, I think its great and do use it. When he first came to us he was in bad condition and his fur was coming out in handfuls, you could ruffle up his coat out side and it would look like some some small animal had been destroyed. We would have to vaccuum daily but now he's in good condition its not nearly as bad. Humphrey is not a jumper but he is a digger, Huskys can be great escape artists so you need to be careful of that. We have built him a pen complete with a kennel AND a human size lounge and is about 4M x 5M and on a concrete floor under our pergola and he is very happy there when we are at work. He cant dig. Exercise is the key! Humphrey gets 2 walks a day at least 30min long, then he is satisfied, and will curl up beside us on the lounge like a big cat and go to sleep. Good Luck, and it's great you have rescued another Husky Regards Robyn

He's looking even more gorgeous!!

I thought it meant they were free range during the day and brought in at dusk to protect them from foxes etc. I'm sure I read that somewhere.

Thanks for that info about Kenzie, sounds like Mack I guess my ideas of what would be comfortable for him aren't necessarily his ideas! He actually got onto his bed last night and slept for about half an hour so I got into bed feeling very pleased about it but then up he got, wandered into another room and dropped to the floor and slept the rest of the night! He's such a funny boy! He could also have problems feeling stable on a soft bed, with his bad hips. Finds it hard to get a steady grip to get up.

Probably is just too hot and not in the habit of such luxury, maybe try a trampoline bed or those ones made of that green or black weave stuff, not so warm but not as hard as the floor.
