  1. I will ask just wondering if anywhere already stocked it? Local pet store said just to use lab puppy
  2. sorry I wasn't sure where to post my question
  3. Hi all, Can you buy Royal Canin Golden Retriever Jnr 29 anywhere? or do you just use Lab jnr? Is the Lab jnr much different to eukanumba large pup? for 7m golden

  5. We do put fish oil in his food as advised by his vet. Thinking of chaning him to BARF to see if getting rid of grains will help at all but he is still in his growth phase and I'm a little worried about that. I did wonder if it was just the time of year and the humidity. Also he does not have frequent baths. We were trying to do once a month as this was recommended by the breeder but they said washing a bit more regulary (fortnighty) would be ok if he is suffering from allergies. Also use an undercoat rake regularly which helps. I'm just really confused about the food stuff. People seem to recommend BARF but there doesn't seem to be much evidence (scientific) behind it (not saying there is behind dry either) and I'm worried his growth rate as he is a large golden.
  6. Yeah I really don't want to shave him! We cut the fur back where the spot is about the size of 10cent peice. The breeder said never ever shave, we use an undercoat rake regularly, bought some quick itch yesterday seems to be helping
  7. Show dog, He generally only has lamb bones sometimes beef but not as often. We don't give him chicken as I have noticed his itching can increase. I thought he was doing ok on the eukanuba we changed him from advance to euk and his coat did seem to improve at least.
  8. Has anyone found that changing to BARF helps with itches and hot spots etc? Puppy school recommended it and one vet, but his breeder thought it was a very bad idea and she seems to be fairly reputable.
  9. yeah tried to bribe him with treats last time! works well he loves food
  10. He gets checked daily or at the very least every second day give him a quick brush (which he loves) and just check for any new sores/redness. Treating him with quick itch, corisone cream and wound guard (he hates it though I think it must sting)... he will hide in his crate if he sees me coming near him with the creams also hair all trimmed back around any sores. We do have insurance.. just in case. From what I have read they are from fungus/bacteria but begin from a break in the skin which can be caused from scratching (ie allergies)
  11. hmm I will have to research the Eukanuba a bit more it is the large puppy version, I was thinking of changing him to Royal Canin (lab puppy). Just dont like messing with his food too much. He does get very hot when playing and takes a while to cool back down. There is no wandering jew in the yard (removed it all a few months ago and have been keeping a close eye on it as pup loves to eat it if it is around)
