http://www.drianbillinghurst.com/ I think he changed the formula and some dogs didn't like the new stuff. There is another product similar made by one of the guys that used to work for BARF, from what I have read on DOL it is a better product. I can't remember the name though.

O dear, poor Dimples has no idea what is happening, she looks upset and confused...probably because her wrinkles have a worried shape. Hope Mum, the poor old chook, is a little happier today Ams.

Hi Lily, these are the stores I have bough from, they are reliable and have excellent service. http://ovedshorseandpetstore.com.au/ http://www.naturalpetstore.com.au/index.php http://www.vetnpetdirect.com.au/ http://www.thevetshed.com/

I am sure I read on DOL that white rice is better for tummy upsets as brown rice still has the inner hull, therefore can irritate the gut a little. Just white rice and perhaps home made chicken soup (without the onions) mixed in with the rice. edited to correct really bad grammar

One of the people at my pottery group made a beautiful memorial plaque (out of stoneware clay) for her dog. Perhaps if you were to go to a local arts/pottery group and ask..there would sure be some people there who would be happy to help you with a design, and perhaps even make you a stepping stone using your design. Once the stepping stone is made (you can make a raised design on it, or carve out a design) it is then dried for a week or two, then a bisque firing (1st firing, to really dry it out) then glazed...this is where you can either paint (with glaze), or ask the potter to paint on the design, it is then covered with a gloss glaze. It is then fired again to a stoneware temperature. When finished it will be waterproof and Very Hard Maybe worth enquiring about.

I may be missing something here...do you mean paw print stepping stones? if you do you can buy moulds ---> http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Paw-Print-Stepping-Stone-Paver-Maker-Mould-Concrete-/300759981818?pt=AU_Pet_Supplies&hash=item4606b11efa

I have read this listing on NZ's 'Trade Me' several times and the seller appears to be convinced that the dog is purebred as both the parents are purebred...unfortunately they are different breeds. http://www.trademe.co.nz/a.aspx?id=510373652 Pity that cat legislation in Tasmania doesn't cover dogs in Australia and also NZ.

Would any one know where to get replaceable refills (the circular sandpaper wheel-thingos) for the Peti Buffer. It is the only thing I can use on Mac's nails that he doesn't mind...all other methods make him do pees-of-fear. He has a condition called touch-my-feet-means-ouchies phobia.

There is a $199 one for sale on a DOL advertisment--> http://www.dogzonline.com.au/marketplace/microchipping.asp edited to add that Swayd has them for sale also--> http://www.whelpingsupplies.com.au/index.php?_a=viewProd&productId=136

If the truth be known, the fight started with comments, by the corgi's, about Princess' Eugenie and Beatrice's hats. It escalated from there.....

Yes, definitely! If you go to a site called petsure http://www.petsure.com.au/ there are quite a few that you can do online quotes. They (I think) are all run by an umbrella company called 'Holland' but each insurer on the page has different costs, so it is worth doing a few quotes.

Yep, that is it exactly...I remembered this morning, after my flu-affected brain had a rest, and checked my yesterday's computer history and it was from a newby, in Tassie, who pasted a link on both threads about her crates-for-sale (my history showed her pet supply store) The other thread she posted in was started by Showdog and was titled 'Wanted: Dog Carrier Where to buy?' She should contact Troy for advertising rates, as some of her stuff was ok I'm so happy now that I know I'm not suffering from Old-Timers disease.

Well holey-moley, so it is too! When I answered it was definitely about 5 down from the top of page 1...wonder what happened, I don't ever go to page 2. I feel really stupid now :laugh: did ya get yer crate anyway?

Does it need to be Airline approved Sheridan? if not, Deals Direct have some--> http://www.dealsdirect.com.au/p/65x42cm-portable-dog-cats-pets-carrier-travel-cage-front-do/ There are also some, with free postage, in this shop on Quicksales--> http://www.quicksales.com.au/vshops/browse.aspx?shopid=11027&d=0&pg=1&cat=364720&keyword=Heavy+Duty+Pet+Hard+Flight+Cage+%2f+Carrier

I was thinking that very thing Chezy & Chopper, it seemed odd that the dog would attack, from behind, and have a "glazed look". Poor man and his family and poor police officer having to shoot the dogs, how awful for her. RIP doggies.

I give my lot flaxseed meal now, rather than the oil, much easier on the hip-pocket. if you buy just the whole flaxseeds you can grind them up in the coffee grinder. I keep the packet in the freezer to keep it fresh.

There was a beautiful Labrador at the Ekka, he was a fire-ant sniffer-outerer. His handler said he could find just one fire-ant. Such lovely, useful, clever dogs

You could try Colette at TLC Dogfood, she keeps it. She has a beautiful Cocker Spaniel called Willis http://tlcpetfood.com.au/ She used to deliver dog food to our dog Harry when we lived in Gympie. Harry loved her :laugh: edited to correct grammatical errors

Is Willow helping you look after them :-D

O Dear, after all the support that was given, it was to no avail. I am so sorry Emma, sometimes doing your best just doesn't work out. Thank you for the update and for the big decision regarding Ned. My condolences to you and all the people involved. RIP Ned. .

If you have one dog that eats anything the others will eat what that dog is eating. When we first got Daisy she wouldn't eat any vegetables but soon changed her mind when the other two chomped into their slices of carrot, cucumber, banana or pumpkin. She was so scared of missing out! Wish they would stop eating those big fat strawberries in the garden though :laugh:

Such good news lovemesideways! Naughty-naughty-bad-dogs, don't EVER do that to your mother again!
