Thanks all. I'll give these suggestions a try :)

Hi all, I've got a very clever dog (sort of). Being a good pet parent I always make sure that when we travel in the car, my boy's in a safety harness and the seat belt goes through the loop in the back (like it says in the instructions). In the first few weeks he's been good, but lately he's figured out how to undo the seat belt! I think what happens is that he moves around and steps on the buckle and frees himself. Does anyone know of a better safety harness or something that can prevent him from unbuckling himself? We have a small sedan and there's no room to put a crate in so that kinda rules it out. Thanks all!

Hi all, Long time lurker, first time posting. I've recently moved to Pascoe Vale and would like vet recommendations for the area, preferably one which advocates (or at the very least is more informed / supportive) of raw feeding. We've previously gone to Our Vet in Maribyrnong. They were OK, and my parents still live in the area so it's still semi convenient to take James there but would prefer something closer to where I am now. The other reason for not wanting going to Our Vet anymore is probably just me not feeling comfortable with them anymore... I've researched quite a bit about the benefits of feeding raw, so I've switched James over to the Big Dog Barf patties with the plan to move to prey model when I know he's doing much better on raw food as opposed to kibble. The vet was horrified and strongly recommended (actually more like started pushing) that I move back to kibble, particularly Hills (he was on Eukanuba before). Despite me pointing out that there are plenty of benefits to feeding raw; that I was trying it out to see if James would do better on raw vs kibble, and if James reacted negatively to raw then of course I would do what's best for him and if that means kibble then so be it. Her reaction just made me feel like I knew nothing or was trying to kill my own dog. So yeah... if anyone can recommend a good vet in the area would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance!
