We are having the same issue with our 4 month old pup. I was going to give him a bath using an oatmeal shampoo. OH wants to take him to the vet and get their opinion

I'm going to try Eagle Pack Holistic Select for large/giant breed puppies and see how he goes on that

Pro Plan seems to be popular I was reading the feeding guide and it said for dogs up to 59kg so that confused me a bit seeing as will probably be 60kg plus. Everyone has such different opinions its good to see what other people think though. Thanks for the input

We did that with the mince and stuck to the chicken with the advance dry food, but there was no difference.I cut the mince out completely to see if it would make a difference and it hasnt. So Im putting it down to the dry food. I dont want to keep changing what im feeding him because I know that can upset his stomach, it will be good to get on top of it and find a dry food that suits him. I'll do some looking around tomorrow Im sure we will be able to get Pro Plan here somewhere.

Thanks for the help They recommend Eagle Pack on the S.A Bullmastiff Club site. Think I will need to look around and see whats available to us and go from there. Im pretty sure most of the vets here sell Royal Canin along with Advance and Hills. He is itchy on his belly area and scratches like mad when you touch it, hes spends a bit of time on the grass so im thinking it might just be that We have an oatmeal shampoo that we got when finishing puppy pre school has anyone found that it helps? It looks a little red so I will keep an eye on it and ask the vet. Could the food be causing that?

Hi guys I have a 4 month old bullmastiff who we are currently feeding Advance puppy large breed. He was fed this by his breeder and we have continued feeding it however his poo seems very sloppy. He was being fed the advance along with chicken, lamb or beef mince and the vet recommended feed him only the biscuits to see if anything changed but it seems to be the same maybe even a little sloppier. So the next thing we are thinking is a change of dry food? Perhaps the advance just doesnt agree with his stomach.. so the question is what is another good kibble for a giant breed? I dont want to keep changing his diet I know that its not good for him. Any opinions would be appreciated! Thanks :D

Grr I would but I havnt quite worked out how to. The comp doesnt seem to want to do it.

We brought our 8week old bullmastiff home on Monday and he was exactly the same. Seemed really nervous of a lot of things in the house, even his food bowl making noise lol. We thought he would just need time to settle in and as he was being kept outside when we got him we realise he isnt used to inside things and all the scary noises. It's only been a few days and he is starting to get more confident already. She will just need time to settle in and get used to her new surroundings

Yeah I think as long as it doesnt continue it will be fine. He has started to settle in now so is a lot happier.

Hi guys, loving all the goregous puppies! We picked up our bullmastiff boy Bentley on Monday. He's been such a good boy so far, goes to bed when we do and sleeps right through until the morning. One thing that I want to ask is he seems to be getting the hiccups a lot like 3-5 times a day I have read other threads about it but I wanted to see if anyone else is experiencing this with their new pup? It seems to be quite random.

We picked Bentley up yesterday! lol hes gorgeous... I may be biased though. He was so good lastnight slept on his bed all night no accidents. I was expecting to be up and down all night but he just slept straight through :D. haha was a big day for him yesterday so will see how tonight goes! I'll have to post some pics its just so hard to get them!

I know the wait feels like forever! Very exciting though. :D

lol all I have is a list. It's going to be a busy Monday. What breed puppy are you getting eventingpony?

I havnt been on here much lately but just had to share! We should be getting our bullmastiff boy on Monday Im SOOO EXCITED lol we havnt even started to prepare because we wernt expecting it to happen so quickly but im sure we will work it out! :D

Im waiting for a bullmastiff and im not actually sure when I find out lol its all been a bit weird. I sent the breeder an email today to see how everything was going. The pups will be getting vet checked in a couple of days so im hoping we get some news then.

Ambrosia and Anna very cute, not long now! Cassie he is so gorgeous Lucious How did everything go? Will be waiting to see some new pics lol im so excited for everyone and starting to get a little jealous :p The litter we have been waiting to find out about is 6 weeks old now but still dont know if we are one of the lucky ones. Love seeing all the pictures of everyones pups this thread is definately helping keep me tied over until we find out

Everyones puppies are so cute :D Congrats Smartypaws the wait is finally over! lol now the fun begins.

Starting to get very exciting for everyone! Can't wait to see all the new photos

Thanks Ambrosia....you have no idea how happy I am right now ! I do feel extraordinarily lucky. We get to pick him up on Saturday.....I can't wait! 3 more sleeps!! Congratulations Smartypaws thats awesome news! Hes adorable!

Welcome Jetson :D Yay congratulations Chihuahualover. How exciting and what a little cutie, definately have to get some more pictures when you visit him. lol Smartypaws, treading the line of looking like a complete dog nutter think everyone has probably felt like that at some point while waiting for their pup. Hopefully you find out soon

Aww how cute! love the name

Yay how exciting Smartypaws! Cant wait to see some pictures, not to long for you now :D . Dol breed pages and google have been handy, I havnt heard of some of these breeds. Dwilds 10months you have a massive wait! lol makes the whole 5 weeks ive been waiting look like nothing. How long does it take to get her from there to here? Chihuahualover. Sorry to hear about your loss. Have you found any breeders that you like the look of yet?

Hmm I guess everyone is different? I see heaps of breeders writing that they update each week etc. We havnt really heard anything, just when the litter arrived, how many pups and the colours. We did get told that she would contact us when the litter arrived and go from there. They will be 5 weeks soon so we are hoping for some sort of update or info. Kind of just going with the flow. When did you know that you would be getting your puppy? Some stay in touch, some don't.. We got an email to find out we were on the list, then we got one when the pups were born... then that was it in terms of emails until it came to finalising who was getting which pup and organising transport. She did put weekly photos on her website, and was contactable via facebook at times... At first it upset me a bit, but then i thought hang on, raising pups isn't easy and takes a lot of time, so it's not surprising she didn't reply. However, once pups came home.. she was always ready at the end of the phone, email or facebook.. i still share updates even now nearly 2yrs on Yeah just a matter of being patient only another 3-4 weeks I guess

Haha after I had signed out I was thinking im pretty sure I wrote that wrong I seen the thread Triangle of Temptation just wasnt sure of the NILIF thanks for that

Can you guys tell me what NILF and TOT are I cant work it out or find anything explaining? Katie good luck I hope your new breeder will have the perfect pup for you
