I would make insurance companies publish the data - including the pedigree lines - of all the dogs who have claims for treatment related to...
No, I can recall my intact male - even from a bitch in heat. If you can recall your intact female too, should you have her off lead, then we won't...
I curse out loud! :D Even though I've walked a bitch in season. Not off lead on Wimbledon Common though! Yikes....mad people!
Since Charlie will do the teeth chattering thing in his own garden, when a spayed girl has a wee, I can definitely say a bitch in season is not...
We have moved on a bit. :D So long as I have Charlie's football, and am playing football with him, he'll leave other footballs alone. Mostly. I...
Have you tried 4 x 1 weeks of Cartrophen, followed by 1 injection each month? The change to this from 4 x 1 week then nothing for 26 weeks made a...
I don't think no. 3 is a bitch in heat at all. It's just a super dooper good smell. Certainly wee from girls who are spayed and wee from boys can...
Beach? Take your Labrador, a ball, or football, and go.... Forget the rest...that's just detail....:D
Yep, exactly. Some dogs enter a vicious circle of doing less, having less muscle, suffering more, so doing less.... I think I have the opposite...
No, I'm sure no caring owner would deliberately make things worse. I was just really saying a dog's enthusiasm for work is no guide at all as to...
Just because they will work - and often work very well - doesn't mean they should work. I've honestly seen spaniels hunt like demons, and looked...
Well, it's something. Apart from the same kind of thing you'd see on human - maybe a little bit of discharge after sleeping, dogs should not have...
As soon as Betsy was old enough, I had her joints x-rayed and the results checked by two specialist vets. The only reason I did this was because...
Glucosamine is used in an effort to supplement the glucosamine used by the body to construct cartilage - so the idea is that by giving extra...
I'm so sorry for you. I know how you feel when your perfect puppy turns out to have a life changing, even limiting, condition. While it's...
I'm always pretty amazed when people say they have trained a dog to ring a bell to go out to wee and poo - and don't have a dog that is ringing...
If it's major and an emergency - well, there you are. It's an emergency. Hopefully he'll get over it. If it's major and not an emergency, then...
The thing about training vet visit procedures is....if it's serious, and I mean very painful, you really need the opportunity to practice in the...
Well, I wouldn't mind Betsy and Charlie playing - only they do crash around the place, and I work from home. Got to bring home the dog food etc....
Yep - this is Betsy. She is now her completely normal self in the waiting room - flirting with other dogs and the receptionist and anyone that...
