We use a FURminator which is great (we have two medium to long hair border collies, one is like a rasta dog). You need to get rid of mats first though, as the shedding tool will tug otherwise.

We had a litter of pups who managed to get fleas. You can't treat puppies for fleas so we did our best to manage the situation with combing etc but you can image how tough it got in those 8 weeks - the stuff nightmares are made of! We found frontline wasn't very effective. It definitely didn't work on our cat, and when we hired a pest controller he said the same about Frontline. We used oral tablets from the vet - Nexguard - and they worked far better for our cat and dog. We treated the pups with Frontline as soon as we were able but it wasn't very effective unfortunately. Also, once fleas are in the house they're 30% on your pets and 70% in the environment. Flea eggs can hang around for a year before hatching. Thankfully flea treatments really helped, and a lot of cleaning. Because our situation was so bad we had the pest controller come out and spray (which was worrying for our pets) But a couple of fleas found on your dog should be easily treatable if they haven't laid eggs in the house, and once treated any hatching fleas which jump on your dog should die with a day.

Hi there, we're looking for a new food to try and came across Eureka. Very similar to Ziwipeak but Australian. The pet food site has a really great review but seems like a new product - https://www.petfoodreviews.com.au/eureka-dog-food-review/

Hi everyone, new to the forum - thanks for letting me join! This is my rather unique Border Collie "Bat Girl" hanging out at Scarborough beach!

I heard air tight containers weren't a good idea. I think from Karen Becker? Mercola Healthy Pets
