45 minutes are you serious. There is no way we would do it in that time even if it was a close clip off. presuming the dog is co operative (stands still,accepts the clippers,hair dryer etc etc) ,depending on the type of trim you want & the type of knots & without rushing the dog hour/half. We charge $50 Maltese & cross malts often have paper thin skin so much care is needed not to cut them so we never rush

The parti coloured yanks shed more than the solids but by no means are they heavy shedders. There is only 1 place that i now off that specializes in this cross & as a past breeder of americans its devasting. Both poodles & americans have health issues.Both can be affected by cataracts,PRA.Plus other breed specific issues. Both have very different coats & the cross ends up like a overgrown woolly matting sheep. The 2 breeds also have very different natures & within the americans parti colours can have a very different temp to the solids.

Showdog,..the vet is suprised the dog can even walk. He has multiple fractures in his pelvis. No amount of therapy is going to reallign it. Ofcourse it isnt but people forget when the dog compensates to other muscles/legs they pay the heavy toll & thats where bowen comes in to help maintain what working that the dog requires even if amputated. When the dog gets up it most likely does on the same side & really hauls its body up compared to having 4 legs working.Muscle tone builds up differently . I had a dog who was partially paraylized ,we did all sorts of bowen etc to ensure what worked stayed in top shape especailly before they get older because once arthritis & the such set in dogs with 3 legs do suffer greatly then as did my boy who still had 4 legs & in the end thats why we had to PTS because his body could no longer cope in getting him around

I would never amputate. I would certainly be trying anything ,you could vet wrap the foot,the boot,tape wrap.I would also be taking the dog to bowen theraphy because the dogs muscles would be strained elsewhere

Broken ribs can happen from rough play,banging into something whilst playing . I guess if you are going to query anything is why the person didnt contact the owner regarding the limp or simply go to the vet. A friend had a dog with broken ribs after playing to hard & she showed it for a few months,our chiro picked up the ribs because they didnt ,It certainly wasnt obvious but it was a table dog & every time the person picked it up it wasnt happy for obvious reasons. All i can say is if the vet is 100% positive it is a kicked injury & there happy to put it in wriiting then maybe you could do something but i dont the vet will as there can be so many real reasons why it happened

Ours has hooks drilled in

Personally as a groomer i suggest you find a good one so the dog is taught manners first . A good groomer will aslo be able to shape the dog so it has some character . The #3 & 4 blade are fine but you will need other to do certain areas & depending on the thickness & coat texture those blades may not trim much off at all.

We where told a specialist was doing my dogs surgery ,well he didnt he wasnt even in the state at the time had a student who was specializing dog came out worse than it went in.

Over 20 yrs ago there was a big parvo outbreak in our local area.Our vaccinated dog got it 2 in 6 months so dont think vacc dogs cant get it. The key is if your dog shows the slightest signs of not being well contact the vet asap the key is to treat as soon as possible

I would go to cottesloe vet if my own vet couldnt do it,then rivergum .Murdoch would be a drastic last resort,(actually wouldnt use them)just make sure the specialist is doing it & the dog isnt a guinea pig for students.

To be honest if its parvo & its untreated i am very suprised its still alive. Parvo can kill within 24 hrs without treatment

I actually wouldnt call the vet clueless.I can guarantee 99% of vets dont now many of the breed specific traits as it would be impossible for them too now especially if there not exposed to that breed. Personally i couldnt care a less if my vet didnt now about OES being able to have multi coloured eyes like sibes aslong as they are super at diagnosing/treating. Many dog exhibitors wouldnt even know,many are fascinated about chows having blue tongues,Chinese crested having different canines if there powderpuff or hairless

If dogs are badly matted we refuse to deknot. If the wheaton has a good coat or the knots are easy to remove then normally we would do in a breed specific puppy clip which simply means shorter for the pet person to manage. If its a rotten mess then they get what is salvagable

We board many young dogs with no issues at all. Although if you pick a facility that does inhouse obedience pick wisely.Personally i wouldnt go in that direction but a good kennel can instill confidience with good dog knowledge & just the way they approach situations.

Fully vaccinated will not guarantee you its any safer. Vacc dogs can still get it but i would be bleaching all areas able to be done . I personally would wait

We use Bowen every 2 months & pe booked for big events etc etc. I have used doggy chiros aswell for many years & still use them in emergencies & swear by there results just for us now the Bowen is much better on the large dogs. We have used chiros for over 20 years

Just go to the chemist & grad some flora max or similiar.We have used the probiotics alot over the years especially tummies are bad or on medication

Welcome to the world of schnauzers Seriously it is an annoying habit & we have a black male that drives us insane. It is training dont feed at the same time.Prepare food whilst the dog is outside

Many groomers use the grooming arm or body noose to make it easier to groom dogs that have no manners at all on the table . Personally i dont use them but many of the show people use the grooming arm & it doesnt cause any issues providing the user uses it in the manner it should be. Its not abuse at all.Many dogs that come in have never been taught to stand still,stand up or infact been taught to be brushed & when these dogs come along it can make grooming very difficult & dangerous. "I have a puppy Pomeranian and am wanting to have him groomed shortly but am wanting a professional to do it first so i can see the proper way of using a slicker brush and comb etc making it as painless on him as possible" Generally with salons you dont stay & watch,the dog will be groomed & then you pick it up. Did the breeder not show you how to brush your dog ??

I agree leaving the jacket on all day unattended will cause much bigger problems & will cause the dog to over heat quicker. Personally the silver eagle jacket whilst costing more is far superior but even then i wouldnt leave it on all day there not designed for that.The idea of the jackets is for cooling down & maintance not all day use .They need to be re activated after a set period otherwise its just like wearing a winter jacket & then creating humdity on the dog which cause much distress. With the crystal jackets once they start to dry out the go stiff. When you wet them they expend & do become very heavy & cumbersome & i would use them as a jacket at all.

JAL infact every thing that cavandra has informed you is very correct & is well know amongst the cavie people who have submitted dogs or belong to the cavie list to be keeped up to date. Alot of time & effort went into getting the testing available in Australia & the price is going down each time for the testing. "I will actually contact this "Claire Rushbridge", the so called only expert in the world. I find it hard to beleive only one person can diagnose this disease. ' Where was it posted she is the only expert ??? This is the person who is taking up the study here in Australia to benefit the breeders as posted then the results been sent off. " uninformed and not welcome. " Actually what is posted is very informed & most likely welcomed by all those involved with the breed or who may learn more from what is posted. I do feel your response was rather weird when the post is off benefit to your dog & the contacts have been given the person in austrlia specializing in this field at present ,if you care about your dog then i would be jumping for joy that someone has given you the best knowledge thats available in australia.many people havent been this lucky

Personally im not a believer of touchy feely whilst they eat especially when they get no reward for sharing. Your pup has no idea why you are touching,she isnt giving anything up nor is she getting anything except to start to feel threatened. You need to start educating the dog on what you want not let her be a mind reader. teach dog to sit,teach dog to share,teach her growling isnt good manners but you need to teach not think that running hands over will do that.

Just another to consider i have found when often when dogs go blind & deaf there sense of smell seems to go aswell.It may not be the case for this girl but with our last few oldies ithas happened to.

Personally i would start with a bland diet & she how she goes.Being an old dog & underweight a food overload may cause the runs . Many poodles can be very thin so it could very well be the go for this girl but i would go with small meals & bland & then after a week or so add some more.If she had rotten teeth that could have been an issue so now she has the chance to eat happily

sadly child waking sleeping dogs up is one of the biggest reaasons they bite/react. You need to either provide pup with a safe area to sleep or crate ,obviously also teaching son a tad more on why pup must sleep & not be woken suddenly. If pup is in the house baby gates make great time out areas.You can select a room where pup can safely sleep without sone being able to annoy. Carrying around i wouldnt let any 6 yr old carry our dogs,one drop & pup breaks.Most likley when he picks it up he is hurting the pup & add these 2 scenarios together & pup is reacting to a situation that its had enough off but is also slowly learning to not enjoy your son & dogs never forget early bad experiences but can be trained to reaccept Feeding i agree you need to be patient & teach pup .If you have a crate feed her in there or buy a cheap wire puppy pen & feed in there. The constant moving back to the spot can make a pup feel its losing something important & doesnt realize at present that all you want is for it to eat in one spot but growling still isnt acceptable & something you need to work with now before something unpleasant happens
