We have just has a lovely 5 day in noosa with our dogs. We rented a house I found on stayz. The house was lovely with good fencing and we could do just what we wanted with our dogs. Great holiday.

Thanks ash1 for your help. We are not happy with the vet we have been using & it is hard to know who is good.

I would love to hear from anyone living in the Gold Coast area who has a number of dogs, breeds... What vet do you recommend

Same with my girls....but its the after effects from the torsion that can be fatal. The part of the stomach that has been lacking in blood supply can break down days after surgery. The heart also needs monitoring post op. I would be worried about any kit that included an ice pick!! A needle or catheter could also be used. Education, prevention...as much as is possible, I know its impossible to prevent bloat....an know your individual animal. Also be prepared to get a speeding ticket and a very large vet bill! :) We have run red lights getting to the emergency vet at midnight .

Touch wood I have not had bloat - yet but I do worrie about it. I am an x nurse so passing tubes ..... does not bother me . I will have the tummy stich done to buy time

We are 15 min from the emergency vet & they are very good, but I do travel with my dogs for shows & this is what bothers me.

Do you have a bloat kit in case of an emergency ? What is in your kit ? I would like to have a bloat kit but not shore who sells them or what is in a kit.

great advise

Eagle pack is a very good food for a giant breed puppy. Talk to your breeder.

Hi all, Just wonder how others cope with a bad back & if you are still able to show & do the things you would like to be doing. I have had a back problem for a while now & have had to cut back on the things I can do.

How many breeding dogs are you able to keep? Did the council need to check with property owners near by before giving you the permit ?

Great food for a growing puppy. I am feeding this to my 12 week old pup. His diet is 80% Eagle pack & I add some pet chicken mice to this for 1 meal a day & the other meal I add sadines & he loves it. I also give hime half a chicken frame each day & he loves it. All of this has been advised by me breeder & he is growing well.

Thankyou so much. I am feeding Holistic Select & this is the new name for Eagle pack. My breeder has said to feed this as it has a lower protein level of 23% in the large puppy. I give 1/2 a frame each day & some chic dog mince so I will cut down on the mince. Would you contunue with the sardines ??

Thankyou all for your help. I have been at work today & was not able to PH the breeder until late arvo only to be told she will be away for the next few days. The mince I have been feeding him is the pet mince [frames]. What % of protein should a young puppy have at 10 weeks.

No jumping, no steps,no injurys, it is all flat
