A friend of mine adopted a Koolie some years ago. Lovely, intelligent dog . And they are getting another Koolie as company for the older dog.

Sorry. Wrong number . It's actually 264 dogs & cats not 245 as I incorrectly stated.

There are a couple of Staffys and Dobes in my local area who have done very well on Cytopoint.

Short haired like a Staffy?

Sorry. I have no idea as I've never taken out Pet Insurance on my dogs. It should be in the fine print of your Policy. What breed of dog do you have?

You could try Cytopoint injections or Apoquel oral medication .Neither of them are steroids and Cytopoint is not chemical based. Both have to be prescribed by your Vet. I'm thinking if you could stop the itching effectively it may stop the Conjunctiviitis. https://www.harmonyanimalhospital.net/cytopoint-vs-apoquel/

Perhaps contact your Vet. Pets to Rest may have sent your dogs ashes to your Vet for you to collect. That's how it has always worked with us.

I"d go for the Labrador over a GSP.

For intelligence and looks and training ability I'd go for the Flat Coated Retriever. And they are a lot calmer as Dogsfevr said. The Vizsla would be easier to look after as far as grooming and looking for ticks. From my observation of the Vizslas around my way they are highly strung and a lot needier. I've had Curly Coated Retrievers in the past and they were brilliant.

Apologies @sandgrubber. I hadn't read your post when I posted same.

https://www.bbc.com/news/av/world-us-canada-64346501 What a great idea. And all of them so well behaved.

I also keep Trazadone on hand for stressful vet visits etc. I give it to my dog an hour prior to consult appt.

When I saw the headline and Illawarra region mentioned I thought the poor dog in question would be a greyhound because of all the Greyhound trainers in that area.. But no it was a Bulldog. That poor, poor dog.
