That's fab, you will definitley find it useful. I did one a few years ago when I was working at the dogs home and still remember loads from it....
Hi Helen Yes much better now thanks, back at work (boo!) and eating normally thankfully! Was on the verge of having to go to hospital for fluids...
Aw guys! Looks like you had fun! Penny misses group walks but I just can't cope with them at 26 weeks pregnant :( I can barely walk up the stairs...
I can't really weigh in on the food advice as you've had loads already but I noticed you said you were a little concerned about their coats after...
Aww poor Dex! Penny did something similar a couple of months ago and it took a while to heal. I bathed her foot with diluted hibiscrub to keep it...
Ah brilliant, good news he's healing up! I would be tempted to just have the cone on to let the wound dry out and then just use the boot to keep...
Have you been to the vets yet? How did you get on?
If it wasn't a lab then my top two breeds would be a Dalmatian or a Nova Scotia duck tolling retreiver. Totally fell in love with them when I saw...

I know a few others here have gotten good deals on vet bed from eBay. Personally I bought mine at Crufts! I have three peices now. If you can...
Surgery has never been discussed. A brief history: she was diagnosed with hip dysplasia at a little over a year old, though I noticed symptoms...
I already give her a daily omega 3 supplement and her food (Arden grange salmon and rice) also contains fish oils; one of the reasons I chose it....
There's one thing here that rings alarm bells for me - that you have been changing her food often. This alone can cause upset tummies. When you...
I don't really know what puppy chow is...is that a brand of food? Have you tried cutting out the 'puppy chow' completely for a couple of days...
