Dogsfevr

nearly all the free feeders i now are under weight. Getting the dog on a good eating regime is the best way to start & basically finding a diet that agrees with its stomach sticking to it. All our dogs whether young or old are feed puppy. Maybe also try goats milk & baby farex as a filler especially in winter

Yep no such thing as a flea injection. Do you flea bomb your house & treat your yard??

Yep as already said ignoring & not razzing them up. Our dogs are inside 24/7 too with doggy door access.Has it been worse since being outside ??

If you back yard is totally secure there is no reason for it to escape.Puppies need to get out & be a dog.They will become frustrated,confused & board if they dont get outside stimulation. If your worried about spiders & things biting your pup & i can safely say you will not enjoy being a dog owner for the next 14 years,you will become paranoid & it will pass on to the pup. it will have just as much chance of been bitten inside as out. Most breeder raise there puppies from paper straight to lawn so this pup may already be very aware that grass is for toileting & playing.Important aspects for a healthy dog.

do you feed coloured biscuits/treats?? I own a dog that after feeding a certain brand & treat had major seizures.Luckily for her they did continue but as a result she does suffer panic attacks. We board alot of dogs with epilepsy & all are very normal functioning dogs.The only one that was drowsy had fits 2-3 times a week. These dogs have been on it for years. We found it easy to tell when they will have seizures.Some go into fast forward mode.Twitching well before the seizure & quiteness,with our clients it was normally when the dogs where picked up & worse if the owners made a big deal. If these dogs where picked up clamly ,quietly & very low key no seizures. The all had diaries outling what happened that day(food,activities,weather,visitors,time etc etc ) to try a get a pattern

Pumpkin is great but hopefully the stress wont affect her ability to concieve

Crate train or bring inside & go speak to your neighbours to see if the dog is barking during the day

I have 2 for the setters.I brought mine years ago from the old dog shop at Melb showgrounds but they dont exist anymore. I think the UK would be your best source. The acvie people have them which do front halves only. I would bother about fading & using it .The coats whilst good arent great for over use on long coats.They will matt the coat

I will also point out that kennels have to abide by Govt law in the animal husbandry act. So for changes it has to be done from govt level

"It may in everyone's best interests if this puppy is rehomed. (runs off to don flame suit)" Dont run i think that is the best solution & too & personally i would be doing it whilst the family are away/ It isnt about the training or the pup being a pup is about a family where all members couldnt deal with the golden & certainly arent willing to deal with a GSD pup. Kids who are scared arent going to come around or even be involved in the crucial aspects of what this pup needs.A wife who isnt interested again will not play any part in the crucial needs of a dog. A dog is for the whole family & i can see things getting worse not better

Yes its a killer & is created by a poor diet or build up off an unhealthy food source. Some breeds are also pre disposed to it. Most dogs fall prey to this after BBQ when everyone gives them the scrasp or lets them like the drip tray. With the right diet is is very easy to manage

One thing dont leave the food done too long ,many people do & createt grazers & they are your worst nightmare

"we didnt hear her again until 330am when she cried hysterically for 1-2 hours. we ignored her and she put herself back to sleep" Make sure though you dont mistake her cries to toilet out of her bed.Not every pup will use those pads

I Agree crate next to bed. Tough luv with alot of common sense. Make sure all is done on your terms not the pups. Having said that in 24 years of dogs never had howling pups. I would be inclined to not allow to much sleep at present prior to your bed time. Often the pup is placed into a dark room,no noise,no other bodies & panic sets in,We prefer to allow more privelages whilst settling & then work towards the desired slepping pattern & its always worked this way

cnr warton & Ranfords roads Southern River. Prices are very competitive & snazzy colours. If you have a dead stocking just chop each end & you have a snood. There very easy to make aswell.

Canine dogshop sells them.There open fri 12-2 or this weekend from 9am all day

I think of all the option hot towel is the best.I have over the years tried those dry shampoos with no luck at all.Powders just build up & then you need to wash it out anyway

If i run out of time they dont go to a show. For me its bath is the only option

Are you sure its a problem?? & not something you arent truly sure off. Different breeds certainly have different growing faces & over supplementing can be just as dangerous.If your breeder is a good one then they would now there lines as to the way they grow. Just be careful

There is absolutely nothing wrong with supermarket brand wormers,heartworm.These brands are generally owned by the Vet pushed lines at a greater price. Like any drug product its a case of understanding its make up to your dog/breed

"and then they have the issue of Boarding kennels" Pardon??? When clients dogs come down with canine cough they head to the vet.The first thing vets & clients do is blame the kennels so why shouldnt kennel owners do all to protect themselves as legally as possible. Vets have no issues written up reports for clients if there dogs come down with something & then asking kennels/clubs for compo. Many kennnels owners WOULD like to change BUT if the whole chain doesnt kennels arent going to risk themselves BECAUSE a clients vet has told them . If you want to place blame then start with the vets not those stuck in the middle of a sueing society

I have a dog that was spasming & was very sore.I also added magnesium tablets during this time which releived the problem greatly

Good chiro or Bowen.HD could be a consideration

Actually you will find the greater majority of people refer to them as King charles cavailier why i have no idea why except that many refer to the original roots of the " king charles spaniel"

What did the breeder feed,have you talked too them,did the pup not eat from day 1 or more recently. What is your feeding routine?? Is the pup badly underweight. Cavies can be notorious fussy eaters BUT you dont pander to them
