french fries

V8 absolute here. Can not complain at all. Great vac and performs well on floorboards and carpet.

So all sorted for worms/heartworm with interceptor. Any recommendations for flea and ticks? Are oral meds or topical safer/better?

Another Dyson fan. Currently have the v8 Absolute and it is awesome. Super easy to empty and clean and power is great.

crazy price. Must be due to expiry date but that is fine for us. Was In a pet store today getting some other things and had a squiz at the worming meds....wow, so so expensive compared to online.

@Scrappi&Monty Budget Pets had Interceptor 4-11kg x 6 for $33.73 so I order some. Pups weight range falls nicely in and its a fabulous price. Exp is for 3/18. Cheers for your assistance.

Yes there seems to be quite a price difference between stores (inc online) Just came across Canimax too. Is it true that it is administered every 6 weeks for heartworm prevention?

Thanks for that. I think i recall reading somewhere that some dogs had been infected with heartworm even though they were on Interceptor?? In saying that my memory these days is pretty average lol.

Just the topic I was searching for. I'm tossing up between using Milbemax (5 -25kg) or Interceptor (4-11kg). (pup is coming up to 6 kg and looking for a heartwormer and allwormer. Such a big difference in ingredient amounts obviously to allow for weight range. Would usuing the milbemax be over kill? hope my question makes sense. Cheers

How much daily/weekly grooming is required for a bichion? (For a pet, not a show dog). What health problems can they be prone too? What is the àverage price to buy a puppy from a reptuable breeder? Cheers

Wondering if anyone has experience with bichion frise? Have done some reading and they seem to tick a few boxes. I do wonder about the grooming requirements and upkeep. As mentioned earlier, have experience grooming schnauzers but realise this is a different breed. Also, how much would a bichion pup cost?

Appreciate all the feedback and honesty. We won't be rushing into anything so plenty of time to research some more.

Thanks Mjosa for your input. I understand that french bulldogs require supreme care. Im not after a dog that needs to run around for hours, quite the opposite really when i think about it. Just aslong as it is happy to interact with the kids.

Results are in 1) border terrier 2) lagotto 3) cocker spaniel 4)bichion frise 5) poodle (mini) 6) beagle

oh thanks for that. Will check it out

Enough energy to be able to keep up with the kids, fetch a ball etc, but not a breed that will require 1 hr + of exercise a day. Basic obedience and manners should be sufficient. Some breeds i have thought about include; golden retriever, bichion frise, havanese, boston terrier, french bulldog, border terrier and cocker spaniel. I bit of a mixture, ha!

ok thanks . I welcome suggestions. I have kids under 6 years of age. Generally someone will be home most of the time so the dog will never left for long periods on their own. We have a medium sized yard but also have access to some great parks close by. Dog can have as much access to inside as it wishes, no restrictions at all. A bit of grooming is fine, I have owned mini schnauzers and always did my own grooming. Im thinking a small to medium sized breed but wont exclude larger. Kid friendly is a must. It would be nice if they enjoyed curling up on the couch to at times. hmmm that is all I can think of at the moment. oh and we do have a cat. Cheers

Hello, We are hoping to add a dog to our family but still sussing out different breeds. Have had a look at some of those dog breed recommendation sites where you go through various questions and gee some recommendations seem way off. Are there any that seem to be more accurate? Cheers

interested to hear also.
