  1. Hi, Thanks for that info. I am in Caroline Springs. I did think of volunteering at a grooming salon yes, there is a large one opening up in Maribyrnong shortly I noticed. I think I will start with the biscuits first (start off small) and see where I go from there. Thanks for your input! Lisa
  2. I've done a bit of scouting around on the internet and i've seen a few grooming schools in Melbourne. Is it better to stick to Box Hill TAFE rather than private tuition from other groomers? Any recommendations from anyone? Also it has always been my dream to make a few things on the side for dogs. I'm thinking dog biscuits but I want to ensure the ingredients are suitable for dogs and I know about alergies and nutrition etc. I have contacted a few people who have studied animal nutrition to see if they can assist me (I am happy to pay for their advice). Am I going the right way about it? Thanks, Lisa
  3. Yeah thank's for that T-time! I went for Eukanuba and some snacks. Nothing wrong with that is there...
  4. Thank's everyone! I'm going to go to Upmarket Pets today at lunch time to get some more eukanuba and maybe some cheap bikkies for a little snack in the morning. Mmm too much variety you think? Yeah i'll keep that in mind. Yep round my little finger for sure guys - I know that!!! He get's a big bone every weekend for his teeth. Lisa
  5. I feed him home made stuff mixed with Eukanuba. For example, I made meatballs that I got from a dog recipe site and i mixed tomato puree and spaghetti with them. Another week I would make cooked chicken with vegetables and pasta/rice and mix with Eukanuba.
  6. Yes he's not too bad in the evening but once again getting a little fussy and hard to please as I cook my own meals for him with human food. I could do that! I never though of it. It's not a bad idea actually. Give him the energy for the day.
  7. Well the necks are out! My partner says they stink and they turn his stomach. He was always hungry before until I changed his diet. I'm concerned he's suffering doggy depression as he mopes around a bit, especially if he doesn't have breakfast to his liking.
  8. Thank's, I have to bash them with a mallet to break the bones don't I as my maltese is a bit of a princess. Yeah, I might give the necks a try! Thanks
  9. I used to feed my one year old Scottie cross a smacko, a piece of pigs ear and a teeth chew but I decided it was becoming too expensive and it wasn't healthy for him. I have tried to get him to eat: Toast and peanut butter Toast and jam/vegemite Skim milk, bread and jam bran and skim milk weetbix and skim milk Weetbix, honey and skim milk but he may take a bit of interest on the first day but any other day after that he won't touch it and looks so depressed and sad....it breaks my heart. I even tried giving him half a smacko after he ate his breakfast and that didn't work, then before his breakfast to get him excited but that didn't work either. I want to feed him something healthy but I don't have all morning to spend in the kitchen cooking for him so suggestions need to have basic preparation times. Can dog's eat sultanas? Also, he never used to be a fussy eater and would eat what he was given until the time I changed his breakfast. Thanks Lisa
