I would look at most options over a cone . Each dog is different and we will go with what works best and cones aren’t a guarantee off success either . But generally most don’t need the cone vets just hand them over and tell you to use them

I have never set the alarm for any off our pups . Ours are encouraged to alert us and had clean pups . I doubt the training pads will set you back bigtime but it’s more the lack off letting you k ow that will

I use F10 shampoo and cream

To be honest it isn’t as painful as what some will make you think cutting back short and in the scheme off pain/discomfort long nails hurt just as much .

Actually seen it with plenty of meds not just ace and there not a quick fix for nails hence why I would sooner GA an oldie than some meds , Anxiety meds won’t perform a miracle without behaviour modification so a dog shit scared off nails will still be without a lot of pre work . For a 12 yr old dog I would just go simple .

Go talk to your vet . if the dog is that bad they may be able to lightly sedate with gas . tablets don’t stop the thought process and often increases the panic more . I would opt for GA the risks are there no matter what . Long nails cause pain,the stress off fighting the nail trim can increase heart ache or seizure in old dogs

I’m thinking a oodle or similar

So the Brittany breed standard he would be deemed “ Whippety” in body shape which is a fault .No big deal for a pet but if your comparing how yours looks to pictures he is different whether it be french style or American . Brittanys should be Cobby in appearance . You need to teach switch off if he’s over active to a point of extreme but excessive pooing is an issue so you need to reassess what food ,the quantities .

Does he have skin issues in his groin? Dog looks slightly longer in the loin area which can make them look skinny and no amount of feeding will change . It is a leggy/Rangey Brittany so will look different to other Brittany . His conformation has faults

If he’s pooping 4 times a day he’s not absorbing the food just passing it out . The food may not suit him .

I think telling your story makes people feel normal and if not Atleast understand it’s not that simple and no one needs to know why things changed for you but things happen in life that affect everyone differently .

Absolutely you can have an opinion just like me but there’s a level class in the way you push it and to say I should think why well that doesn’t offend me what so ever ,your opinion will never hurt me. As a side note a good friend committed suicide after her pets passing . She had mental health issues but was never suicidal. Her mental health team,family ,closest friends and vet clinic worked together for weeks leading up as time was coming to ensure my friends dogs passing was beautiful as she could not be in the room and could not cope with that decision at first ,her village came together . When the time came it was peaceful and everyone did there role with such dignity and my friend did an amazing job moving forward after suffering so much tragedy in her life and always dealing with it . A few off those friends afterwards called her gutless and selfish and that took a massive toll ,each one just wearing her down bit by bit . That beautiful team effort ruined by a few friends who had to share there opinion in a hurtful manner . So she killed herself so yes I see it different too you,I don’t judge,I don’t feel the need to push my view but will defend and respect anyone’s choice . So maybe just remember losing anything so personal affects people in many ways ,opinions are what make people unique but words can hurt some in profound ways but it can profound also to those who say or share in a manner that is more than jus opinion .

Each to there own but you couldn’t be more heartless if you tried but I guess you can live with such judgement so Well Done too you .

Same here . I am actually one off those people who can’t deal with it being my last memory. The dogs always have a family member there and one day I will have to be that person but I find it insulting that people presume the dog is less loved than someone who stays . I also know many vets who struggle with owners who make the time far more stressful for the pet . Have your opinion but anyone who tells me I’m gutless for not being there will regret those words if said to my face .

Cavies can be fussy eaters but owners can enhance the fussy . Teething can be a horrid time for some pups including sore ear canals and inflamed tonsils . Diet change can cause havoc on the stomach and let’s face it when we have the runs we don’t feel like eating but chicken isn’t always the best option . We do Turkey and pumpkin

In the last 10 or more years in our business I have seen a whole new element off badly behaved dogs . Nearly all have 1 common factor taken too the dog park as puppies and allowed to run feral with no rules, boundaries or expectations. Also lead training in the last few years has been terrible due to owners too lazy to walk there dogs onlead,train them too walk nicely as the park becomes there problem solver . This is age is so crucial for setting a pup up to be a enjoyable adult and a dog people want too live with,take out and be proud off . lead manners are crucial,exploring the outside world in regards to seeing cars,bikes,people ,prams so vital . Many off these dogs value other dogs more than there human and these same dogs drag there owners around when they see another dog as it’s never been taught values . So your question is as a responsible owner is . If puppy runs off what is your plan? How have you set your pup up for a good park experience? If puppy gets bullied by other dogs as it’s a pup and annoying what’s your method to handle it ? i don’t do offleash parks as it teaches bad life skills ,pups go to Bunnings,cafes,local football matches to experience calm and managed outings for adult life skills

This has to be the biggest load off garbage I have read .

You shouldn’t buy a dog because family members are pushing you . If that’s your reason you need to think again

We require bank transfer ,bank cheque or cash on the day . Puppy has a receipt and the Sales contract clearly outlines this that both parties sign and we retain a copy owner ,original .

I personally like to teach my dog to eat from a bowl and enrichment another activity . Why a friend who is a diehard enrichment person has just dealt with a sick dog where feeding was out off the normal and with extended vet stay and the dog had no clue how to eat from a bowl and it became a dilemma. As for toys it’s what ever works for that dig . Mine think the toilet roll inner is the greatest toy and cardboard boxes ,another is a teddy nut . Don’t over think it . With our boarding kennels dogs we do food hunts with the flat sports markers with hole in the top,fill the toilet roll inner with food so they can shred ,bubble wand anything is possible without making it expensive or ordering everything . On Amazon you can buy pet sensory mats

There’s the key word business .

they own a lot off vet chains these days

So importantly you cant just have any judge they must have 5 yrs behind them .

I would clarify if they need to be DogsNSW judges or just judges . If you click on events you will see what shows are coming up in your area or where may be happy to drive too
