I wonder why no one brings out a cheaper version with no frills packaging, as has happened with various Worming & heartwormers...It would be a gold mine I reckon! I'd say it's got something to do with a patent - ie no one can make something using same chemicals for certain amount of time? -WithEverythingIAm

Of course - but they will also still put their prices up, as they are not excluded from Bayer's price rise. -WithEverythingIAm

Just so everyone knows, Bayer has put new packaging on the Advantage products, and risen the price by 9% for their troubles. They've also raised the price on I think it's Advocate & Advantix also, by 6-8% - that price is BEFORE the wholesalers & retailers get them... Get set for a price rise next time at the Vets! -WithEverythingIAm

We have some of the Jr Store n Feeds Found on this website if you're looking for a raised diner? PM Me if interested - we bought 3 from the US, and have just never advertised them for sale as yet:) PM me if interested? -WithEverythingIAm

Nutro's great - my dogs LURVE it - I'm sure yours will too!!! -WithEverythingIAm

Maybe the Teddy has a Tooth Splinter in his sides now? -WithEverythingIAm

There were 2 Tick cases at the local Pet ER here last weekend! Alarming considers we've been having minus temperatures here!!! -WithEverythingIAm

Are you using as a preventative or does your pet already have arthritis? If Preventative, then any 1000mg capsule of Glucosamine every 2nd day, and fish oil twice a week. If already has arthritis and the others don't seem to be doing anything, then course of either cartrophen injection, or sylvet capsules, then maintainence dose of 1 lot/month after course. -WithEverythingIAm

"Lustre Aid" - The BEST Doggy Cologne -WithEverythingIAm

Yes GTN - we have all heard your opinion plenty times before :p Perhaps you can try telling people what you think is good without dragging down the names of other brands of food you've never even bought? BTW - Where DO you get your info concerning Nutro not being popular? Sorry but just seems you pulled that statistic out of your :D :D If you're gonna sprout "facts" you need to back them up! -WithEverythingIAm

Well... What's best for your dog is what it does best on... Is your dog happily munching it's way thru his bikkies? Is he sufficiently putting weight on? Ingredients wise, Nutro might be a better choice - perhaps you should ask your puppy? -WithEverythingIAm

Nutro did not have any KIBBLE recalled either - The only kibble in Australia which was recalled was Hills. I personally found with my fussy Boxer he LOVES Nutro, and doesn't really like EP at all... -WithEverythingIAm

What do you want the contacts for? Prizes? Also try Nutro, Masterfoods (Pedigree etc), and don't discount "other" companies eg Bayer (Advantage etc), Virbac, Mavlab (Fido's) etc etc etc Most of the companies you can just put in their name into whitepages.com and your contacts will come up... -WithEverythingIAm

how do you know you get .4ml (and not .3 or .5 ml)? Because I use a syringe & Needle -WithEverythingIAm

Check the active ingredients and make sure the dog is getting the same amount of each ingredient as they would for the normal medication. I do it all the time for my cats & advantage. Buy an Over 25kg tube, and it did my Mother cat, and all 5 babies! MUCH cheaper than 1 x 6month box of Cats/Kittens up to 4KG. Each cat/kitten got .4ml each of the liquid and the old boy who's over 4KG got .8ml. The tube was 4ml, so we had .8ml left!!! Just got to make sure you shake the liquid products up well first before drawing, and only draw enough for each cat/kitten application. -WithEverythingIAm

Hmmmmm... have done it with Tubby, the Curly Coated Retriever that my parent's own - it was fun - he's around 40KG's and likes to pull - FAST! - haven't thought to try it with my 2 - hmmm... will have to go dig out those Blades of mine, and give it a go around home!!! If you think the dogs will pull you, knee/elbow/wrist pads are a MUST! -WithEverythingIAm

A few years back now, but when I did it at Ipswich Dog Obed Club, I think it was Forward Right about turn Stand Forward Left About Turn Halt Leave dog to end of lead Recall Return to your dog once at the start, once at the end Everyone did it on-lead - see you have to do the same (on/off lead) at the start and the end - if the dogs buggered, it may not willingly work off-lead at the finish :D -WithEverythingIAm

BLOODY SLACKO! MrsD - Kick him outta bed at 5am, lock him outside with Ebony, and the dog lead. -WithEverythingIAm

We have 3 dogs, but only 2 are mine - Ebony is Dagboy's, Jarrah & Jonty are mine. Ebony & Dagboy were training for ET, but neither of my dogs were ever in training, Dagboy did mention once training Jarrah but he's not old enough & unless I was going to do it I saw no point . Yep, we went to lurecoursing 2 or 3 times, more for the social aspect than anything else, dogs liked it but we decided it wasn't for us & we were also told that if we were serious about herding that lurecoursing wasn't a good idea. So given that we are serious about herding, we made a choice to stick with herding. Didnt realise that made me a DSW . Wow, seems to be a common theme here, wonder where all this is coming from? :rolleyes: Just for the record WEIA, we started going to herding training with one trainer, but after about 4 or 5 lessons they told us we couldnt come there anymore. We were left with nowhere to train & no one to help us, so then, knowing a bit more about the ANKC herding, we looked around & found another trainer to train with, one who trains in a style that we like & who we are happy to go to. We've been going to them ever since, no plans to change. I dunno, what would you have done in the same situation if you found that you & your dog were really good at something & one trainer dumped you, would you have found another trainer so you could continue or just given up the sport? Perhaps you shouldn't listen to all the gossip from people who have an agenda . They dumped you? A trainer? Why? Sorry I know nothing - just that you mentioned that you were with one trainer and the next you were going to another also - maybe I should come in Obedience training dog sports more often? Aahhh So you're gonna do Endurance with Jarrah next year? But don't knock us people who choose to do one sport, then change to give our dogs a bit of variety - not all dogs have as good focus at learning as a border collie etc... Some of us own Boxers :p They lose interest if something is boring - hence being no OT Boxers around... not even many CD or CCD ones :D -WithEverythingIAm

:D I travel almost 1.5 hours to go to Lure Coursing with my Boxer Rocky - he LOVES it - but there's people who travel further than us. -WithEverythingIAm

The ultimate tart ;) MrsD also went to more than one trainer for herding training... Imagine making a whole thread talking about ones self? :D -WithEverythingIAm

But MrsD - you seem to have a short memory - you were doing Lure Coursing for quite a few meets - perhaps you're a "tart" also? I don't mind being called a tart if it's cos I let my dog do what he actually enjoys? -WithEverythingIAm

But you already have 3 dogs at home - and I thought that 2 of your dogs were in training for Endurance? Nothing wrong with letting your dog have a go at everything that's available? Rocky's tried his hand at Obedience, Agility (not trials though?), Endurance (titled), and now Lure Coursing... we'd LOVE to have a go at herding, and title in that like Boxers in the US, but alas, the herding fraternity here in Qld seem to have a thing saying no to Boxers as they are not a herding breed... ah well... We also intend on trying out sledding, frisbee, and everything else on offer... BOXER'S CAN DO ANYTHING! -WithEverythingIAm

LOL - Depends what breed I don't think you'll find many British Shorthairs, Norwegian Forest Cats or Maine Coon's under 3kg's! My British were WELL over 1.5KG (Some around 2kg) when desexed at 12 weeks on Wednesday. -WithEverythingIAm

Did not read the article, but will later. Myself as a registered cat breeder, we desex our kittens before they go to their new homes. It's quite cheap where we get it done also at $70 female and $40 male kittens, which is breeders prices. I'm not sure if I'd do a large breed dog at 12 weeks like when we do our kittens though - kittens are almost 1/2 their adult size at that age. Puppies are not. -WithEverythingIAm
