I'll just throw in my 2 cents here as I had the same problem with my 8 week old rottie a few days ago. Puréed some pumpkin myself (couldn't find canned pumpkin anywhere so I just boiled small pieces cleaned of skin/seeds for 20 mins and mashed into purée) - added 2 table spoons of this to each meal. Added one table spoon of low-fat cottage cheese to each meal Added half of a yakult (the 99% sugar free ones) bottle to the first meal of the day. Diahrrea cleared up within a day. Worked an absolute treat :-) pup is now going 3 times a day at almost the exact time each day and looking great.

Just spoke to Karen over the phone. She sounds very knowledgeable and she does indeed run classes out of The Vet Practise in Whittlesea. Just booked onto the Tuesday night puppy class. Also spoke to the vet themselves, sounds like a great place! Seems like I'm sorted! Have sent an email to the K9 Company about their weekend classes and Monday night puppy socialisation too. Might do both for extra socialising! :-) Thanks guys!

Just noticed on their website that your puppy needs to have had a C5 vaccination to attend group classes. Sven has only had a C3, so I might have to wait til after his 12 week C5 to go.

The K9 company look great. I love that you can just turn up and pay as you go also (don't need to book etc). My only issue is that they're held at football ovals etc so there's a risk that other non vaccinated dogs could have been in the area. Doesn't look like underdog have a location in Heidelberg anymore according to their website

The Vet Practise look great, I will have to check them out. Dog solutions look good. I'm assuming they're indoors as their website refers to cleaning of surfaces etc?

Thanks for that. Can I ask why you don't recommend Kintala?

Thanks :D I have a friend that is doing placement at Four Paws at the moment actually. I've read some stuff on Kintala in Heidelberg, would you recommend them?

Hi Guys, I am about to get my new puppy at the end of the week. An 8 week old Rottie boy named Sven! Here he is. Just wondering if anyone has any great Vet recommendations around the Northern suburbs of Melbourne? I'm based in Mernda, but obviously willing to travel within a 30 min or so radius to see a decent Vet. The ones ive dealt with previously seem only interested in money and lack any sort of compassion for animals! Also, just wondering if anyone has any puppy school/obedience club recommendations? Money is not really an issue. I want to take him as soon as i get him from 8 weeks so he will have only had his 1st vaccination. I've searched for previous posts on this forum but most of the threads are a few years old so thought it was worth another thread. Thanks in advance guys!
