You need to check with any dog transport but i would doubt they will be allowed to share a crate. There are certain crates that are approved for travel . Vari or the PP40 plus a few others,i would be buying a crate each & training them now & being separate .

What do you actually feed including treats?? As the dog has fleas this is an area you need to get on top off as being bitten by fleas is like having "chicken pox" & will cause all sorts of added issues .

I was asked if i could post this so if anyone is interested please contact the details given ; Most of you will have heard of the intestinal parasite Giardia – but did you know it is now the most common gut parasite of dogs and one we know very little about. Yes, Giardia can cause diarrhoea but rarely – more likely are its subtle effects on performance and growth particularly in puppies since they are most commonly infected. Dogs respond differently to Giardia infection and researchers at Murdoch Vet School are trying to find out why. All they need are ‘poo’ samples!

Hopefully not to many i am only allowed 30 kg luggage

what does this mean I now i have to get up a sparrow fart time but surely not that early

Just remember some off the meds plays havoc with there bladder,my boy needed to wee alot & couldn,t hang on for long so we did alot of pee breaks which for him helped him use his lungs plus got him walking about obviously in small doses. Good luck having been there done that i now the joy you feel

Moa Perrson isn't coming the replacement is David markus(SP) canada

Yep to above & totally agree about the conditioning to many people forgot the dog also needs to build up to distance & a pace even if slow a jog is very different to a walk.

Showdog, what is Noni juice?? It is a human product that cancer people use,vile stuff the smell alone was enough to make me barf BUT my boy couldn't eat & the health aspect of this stuff is amazing .He wasn't on it long but it worked well for him BUT my boy was never like yours. We also used a caffeine product from the US that is no longer available in aust.As he was unable to walk we had to do regular physio to ensure the phlegm didn,t build up .we also had to make him walk because i do believe without making him feel loved that he would have given up.Our vet sad over & over again if it wasn't for our commitment he would have died.He slepted with me anyway but i did hourly wake ups through the night to do physio & get him to walk about .The first 72 hrs felt like a week. he was obviously on fluids within reason & food supplements BUT it was keeping him alert that was the key in my boy's case. As for time i was realistic & set 2 week goals ,when he reached each 2 week we where a tad more confident HE DID have alot of relapses & often severe . I found he recovered quickly from the pneumonia in that sense but he lost alot of weight & muscle condition during recovery & that was the hardest aspect to work with but not the end of the world & in many ways with your boy being young it would be easier than at full adult weight.

I have had a dog with pnuemonia. The vet didn't expect him to last 24 hrs from the time we took him in & he wasn't that sick we just new there was something a tad off so went to the vet ,he had very ealy signs & within 24 hrs was at death door . We nursed him at home he survived & lived another 5 yrs(he was 7 at the time). I would have to say having us around,doing physio was the best thing out.In my boys case he was so weak he couldn,t walk at all nor eat.he was on heavy meds plus we combined it with natural ,the noni juice worked wonders but it is stuff He wasn't the healthiest dog afterwards & it was almost like he ended up with asthma but he lived a very full & normal life running an acre just simple things like fires would make him weeze & he did end up with a bad heart which was associated to his illness but for a dog that was literally dead in many ways he recovered well all considering . We went back daily to our vet & he was amazed each day we turned up. Dogs are such tough critters so good luck

$800 for a hot spot ,what treatment did they do??

I would be careful on humid days with an air con unless refrigerated It won't work as you plan & will infact will make that area hotter

WA has to do the exam

Everyone should check this site It appears they have taken details from DOL & other sources & have the details associated with the wrong breed,wrong owners & many more . If you have an issue email & complain Link removed by Troy as the info appears to have been removed now.

Hi all, This was posted on Facebook & i suggest anyone who advertises on DOL check it out. They have placed the wrong kennel names with the wrong people & breeds ,very poor taste is all i can say Link removed by Troy as it appears to be fixed now.

I would suggest a Tibetan Terrier wonderful dogs with kids

I won't use them, have seen to many dogs who didn't do well on them & the flip side of bad stacking habits.

Dogs don't have to be fat nor do show people strive for it but muscle & condition go hand in hand & skinny dogs being shown is just as bad as fat. My show dogs aren't fat & in the past my show dogs also did agility but agility has now become a sport for select breeds so i no longer compete as i won't put them at risk with courses not friendly to all shapes & sizes.

Depends what you actually want to learn,i wouldn't bother with either

Another thing to consider is some dogs are very long in loin & no amount of feeding will make them fat

Considering i would never feed the brand that is there major sponsor i dare say its another RSPCA sneaky way of gathering data

Bunbury KFC is fine providing you are happy to wait like 30/40 mins for an order Last year they stuffed our orders up so badly & then had a tainty when we complained & asked for our correct orders . Macca,s next door is great but you need to beat the cricket dudes there :p
