It's not the active ingredient you have to worry about IMO but the fact you are double dosing on the heartworm component. So yes, read the all wormer label!

This is what I do also, for my Cavalier me too for the greyhounds, but I give it every 6 weeks Rebanne if I were to give my two the Valueheart I would need to give the 21-40kg one. As Stan is 35kg that seems fine but Maddie is only 25kg so wouldn't that be overkill? Not being a smarty just asking your opinion as a knowledgable greyhound person :) My greys have all been over 30 kilo's so I have no problem giving the larger tablet. I did have a 20 kilo crossbreed that somethimes went over a bit and still gave her the smaller dose tablet and got her weight back to 20 kilos. Hmm I've given Valuehaert tabs forever so am not sure what size dosing others come in. I think they are all around the same size. I'd go with the large one. They would have a wide safety margin.

Whats to ask. The OP was breeding unregistered dogs to make unregistered pups. Nothing more than a byb in my eyes cashing in on a 'rare' colour.

my greyhounds sleep outside at night when I am at work. Warm coats and snug kennels keep them warm in winter.

money is money wherever it comes from and it's money that keeps clubs alive. Slightly different scenario but I will most likely not go to my local show this year. I will have just got back from a week away showing 2 days before and the dogs and I will be exhausted. Tossing up on entering or donating. If I donate they get all my money. If I enter they have to pay out for the VCA levy etc which is less money.

Dont worry Rebanne, I will take enough video for you that you will feel like you are there :) Cant wait !!!!!!!!!! I will be there Thurs and hopefully Fri you had better!!

My two are booked in as well but not until mid Feb.

you know sometimes you have to consider the dog above all other things. How can this poor girl be happy? She is under tremendous stress day in, day out. You've done everything you can to help her, maybe now you need to do the hardest thing of all and release her from the pressure of her life.

Umbrella over me, not the dog.

like the others I have been thinking of you TT.

If I bought any dog unseen, I would expect to have discussed all the finer points with the breeder and had a written understanding covering such a situation. You do realise that sh!t happens sometimes and any pup you buy could end up not being 100%? With it not being the fault of the buyer or seller? Just one of those things that happen.

I basically agree with Alkhe but as a breeder I would also be worried about your attitude wanting a discount for a preceived fault. Sorry but I would be wondering what else you would want down the track if things didn't turn out how you think they should. Same amount of effort and money is put into "pet" puppies as show potential ones by most breeders.

I think it's good. Warrior was 9 months in this pic

:thumbsup:

yeah I am just green, have friends going over and I am so jealous! One day!

I'm happy with my dogs diet but since I had the 6 1/2 yo at the vets yesterday we did draw blood so we have a base line to compare to later on in life. Not sure if I would do it every year. And I don't vaccinate every year either, nor dose them up every month on a one dose does everything pill. Heartworm tab every 6 weeks, intestinal worming 2 or 3 times a year, flea treatment if I see a flea.

how sad

I'm 53 and take supplements, I share them with my dog who is 6 1/2. :D We both have aches and pains We take superflex tablets and magnesium.

me too and we won't be the only ones. R.I.P Buddy once again Caz

hmm, might shoot them an email

Yes, when the pain relief stops working it's what shaped my views on what I would do next time (please let there not be a next time) and why I would always go earlier. Early is better then one second too late.

if the judge can't get a good idea of gait cause the dog was playing up too much then they are right to refuse a challange. Correct movement is very important for all dogs. My 9 month old greyhound bitch was refused challenge in the depths of winter cause she ran around all bunched up, wouldn't stretch out at all properly. I agreed with the reason.
