I have given my two dogs Sasha’s Blend since they were young as a preventative.. one had 2 hip surgeries and my older one has never had joint problems.. so I guess it is down to the individual dog.

Hi everyone My Kelpie will be 13 in 4 weeks ... although she is still her normal crazy self, I have noticed literally overnight that she is looking her age. She used to be able to get up on my bed but now she can’t get up on my bed anymore, so I have stopped her from doing that but I miss my girl being with me on my bed... she is 19 kg so too heavy for me to lift her. I tried training her to walk up the steps I have here for my CAV but she doesn’t want to know. I am not ready for her to be old and frail How does everyone cope with the knowledge that their loved one is on limited time? It’s making me sad and worried.

I think you have already answered your own question... yes he is gorgeous but I think you are letting your heart and emotions get in the way.

My dog is the same... she will only drink water from her own bowl ... she is also like that with her balls, she only plays with her own ball... if someone throws a different ball to her she won’t catch or play with it.

Oh isn’t he a darling he looks amazing after his bath.

Tbh I don’t think they work... in the past I have tried them but didn’t see any change so I use a toothbrush and pet toothpaste, my dogs love it and see it as a daily treat lol.

Just a thought.... I was in Cheap as Chips yesterday afternoon and they had big rolls of fake grass but can’t remember how much it was, maybe using a big roll of grass you can make up one of your own and just replace the grass when needed. Meant to add... it was the one opposite Hollywood Plaza.

I remember Kobi well I didn’t realise he was 14! I am so sorry for your loss ... I know how much you loved him.

Thanks for that

I’m glad I’m not the only one I have been thinking about not doing it monthly as they aren’t around other dogs that much .. it’s a hard habit to break lol. I researched and Budget seemed to be the cheapest and they have free postage if you spend over $29.

Oh thanks for that .. will have a look

I used to use them but they only do the 6 pack ... I would get the 6 pack but with my trip back home to scatter my Dads ashes at Christmas it’s left me a bit skint.

One is a 8 kg CKCS and the other one is a Kelpie at 17kg .. I have been using Sentinel , I have tried the spot on treatments but I find they aren’t as affective because I always end up with some of it in their coat and not their skin lol.

I’m sure we have had posts like this before but I’m not trawling through pages and pages In the last 12 months flea and worm treatments have got so expensive! I ussually buy from Petcircle but even their prices have gone up. I have also used Budget pet products but they aren’t budget anymore... for 3 months worth I am paying nearly $110 for 2 dogs I guess it isn’t a lot when you look at it but it’s still exxy when you have to pay in one go. What does everyone use these days ?

It’s been hot here the last 3 days so haven’t taken them for their daily walk... but we have a plastic shell pool that my CAV loves and my other dog loves balls.. so my CAV gets a swim and the other one play fetch inside... they seem to be happy enough.

Awww thanks Go to the link icon at the top and copy/paste ... ( testing to see if it works ) https://youtu.be/41taYOq1kVY

They are all stunning... but Polly

I used to take my 2 dogs to the dog park regularly but decided that we would stick to walking around the neighbourhood.... they seem to be a lot calmer and happier. It’s not the dogs that are the problem it’s the stupid owners who allow their dogs to play unsupervised while they are busy chatting , or have their noses in their phone.

I am so sorry to hear of Bubbys passing ... another Dol dog gone Rip beautiful boy xo

I am so sorry Rip Darcy you gorgeous boy xo

I love brindles They are so cute !

I have been giving my dogs Sasha’s Blend for the last 4 years... i started it because of Lacey’s patella surgeries but give it to both because Sasha was about 8 when I started her on it. My Vet said that everyone should give their dogs a supplement from the age of about 6 or 7. Joint Guard is another good one .

We have a special place we call the doggy hospital that all damaged dogs go to get stitched up the pile is growing

I'm not an expert but if she was my dog I wouldn't put her through it ... I would let her live out the time she has left, too risky imo.

Lacey my Cav does this weird thing, when she is pooping she doesn't stand there she will go in circles pooping ... weirdo dog. She will also do the spin thing when she knows it's treat time.
