I could write a book on some of the dogs I've had to groom, one was so gummed up with poop and matted hair it could not use its bowels, and when I eventually, (with a mask on and dry reaching) clipped it all away, its bum was red raw.

Disgusting.................

My worst clip was an Old English called Rebecca, who was flyblown so badly I cried, she just stood so still while I clipped her, she knew I was trying to make her feel better. It was many years ago, but I have never forgotten her.

Cats can suffer from high blood pressure, so I presume dogs dan too.

I do give my 3 whippets fish oil, and have been trying to research just which type of glucosmine formula would be the best to give Skye, it seems that a combination of glucosomine and chondroitin is better, do you have any suggestions Witheverythingiam?

I have heard some good reports about Sachsas blend, but I have also heard of some dogs who just vomit it straight up.

Thanks,

Trish

Thanks for the feedback, my 10 1/2 year old whippet has just had her third shot, and she does seem to be much better, but my vet just said we'll fix it up at the end of the course, and I was wondering if I'd have to rob a bank or mortgage the house or something similar. Anything for my beautiful girl...............

Trish

Can anyone give me an idea of the price of the course of 4 Cartrophen injections ?

I am constantly amazed at the number of new poodle puppy owners who come to me for grooming, and when I discuss their grooming needs, say "Whatever you do, I don't want him to look like a poodle"......................I have heard this so many times over my 30 years as a groomer.

I have had my MP for over 30 years too, I treasure it.

The apple cider vinegar and water mix works really well.

Thanks for the 'Charlie' information, I have not been particularly happy with the ones I have had sharpened here in Adelaide, so I will be trying Charlie too.

Trishm

Thanks for that link, I will contact them.

I would love a recipe, thanks, I am unable to find a supplier in S.A.

My whippet had a reaction to her vaccination when she was 2, after having had no reaction at all before. She was extremely lethargic, and weak, but came good after a few hours. Since then my vet has given her cortisone and antihistamines 15 minutes before her vacc, and last year stopped the cortisone and just gave the antihistamines and we had no reaction. My girl is now nearly 10, and I am wondering about ever having her vaccinated again, surely she has built up enough immunity by now.

New balance? or Natural Balance (or natures balance)... whichever it is..

I feed it... the organic chicken based dry food with no soy protein added...

my dogs love it and do well on it... and it is competetive to other deluxe dog foods in price.

When I looked on the website they said it was made from lamb, I couldn;t see any reference to chicken, is this a new product they have brought out?

Trishm

Sorry it is Natural Balance, and the only place I have seen it available is on www.pricelesspets.com.au I don't know much about it but it sounded good.

Glad to hear that you are happy with the product, do you buy it from Priceless pets

TianaKaeSha?

Trishm

Does anyone feed New Balance dry food, if so what are your opinions of it.

TIA,

Trishm

There are no distributors listed in South Australia, does anyone know if anyone here does handle this product.

Thanks,

Trishm
