    German shepherd flea problem

    There are some animals that can survive being frozen for a winter season, maybe some even more. Most insects and pupae take about 3.1/2 days to be killed, so don't remove frozen items from the freezer too soon.:rolleyes:

    German shepherd flea problem

    We have had a flea problem this summer, our usual treatments were not helping much. We had to use the vet who prescribed "Advocate", after the spot on drops, one month later all fleas have disappeared. We treated the house with "Indorex Defence" in the car too, all bedding in HOT washes but NO...

    64 day pregnant dog???

    The mucus sounds quiet normal for a pregnancy, that's as long as it's clear and clean with no blood. If you have just a singleton inside her there may not be the right amount of hormones to get her going into labour. Another worry is that if you have only a single puppy or two, that maybe the...

    Allergy: is hypoallergenic diet really worth trying?

    NO shampoo:eek:, just use plain warm water. The word "Hypoallergenic" is not worth the paper it is written on:rolleyes:

    Allergy: is hypoallergenic diet really worth trying?

    What makes a product "Hypoallergenic". Hypoallergenic foods are made from ingredients that are less likely to cause allergies and intolerances. It does not guarantee that the ingredients will not cause allergies and intolerances.o_O

    Allergy: is hypoallergenic diet really worth trying?

    Please remember than when you do any washing with NO detergent as @JoanneF has advised, also do not use any fabric conditioner either:rolleyes: .

    Socialising my new puppy

    How old is your new puppy. Vaccinations can be done too early sometimes and the maternal protection can render the new vaccination as invalid ! My vet will not start until puppies are 9.5 - 10 weeks of age !

    Changing from dry food due to how often she wants out.

    Unfortunately when buying our dog food "expensive" does not mean good quality or value for money! :eek: Royal Canin puppy ingredients; Poultry protein, (what ever that may be). I have seen feathers mentioned in their ingredients before. Rice, wheat, maize, Beet pulp. (all cheap fillers and...

    Changing from dry food due to how often she wants out.

    What breed and size is your dog, (just wondering what sort of amount she would require per week). A good quality kibble requires much less to be fed and if you feed a grain free type the poo's would be much less. The raw product produces much smaller and firm poo's as much more of the product...

    best wet dog food for my 13 year old

    "Natures Menu" have fantastic convenient raw products, their "Country Hunter" frozen complete nuggets are easy to thaw, no blood or mess. They also have complete tinned meals and pouches. Grain free "Country Hunter" contents look good. "Millies Wolfheart", who's dry kibble I always recommend...

    Has anyone used NutriPaw ALL-ITCH & immunity treats

    Take care with all of these extras you are using. Too much bathing and shampoos can be washing out all of the natural oils in her skin and adding to the itch problem. Have Honey's suggested that you should allow their new diet to help with the itches without the introduction of added products...

    Rehydration for gippy tum.

    Yes, thank you. She is putting weight on the foot, will jump on and off of chairs, landing on 3 feet but very quickly back onto 4, up and down stairs. It is amazing how well she has managed with the break over the first week. The vet said she will be ready for our beating season at the...

    Raw food for my puppy

    Chicken wings and whole carcasses would be a lovely choice to add. I start puppies on raw bones from 5 weeks of age and by 8 weeks of age they are very accomplished eaters of all raw bones. Although you can mix kibble and raw products together I would take care what kibble I bought. Natures...

    Rehydration for gippy tum.

    She is having RRA with Arnica mix three times daily. Hopefully it will take the edge off the discomfort just a little.. She still enjoys her walkies but remains safely close to us. She is such a brave girl;) @Hemlock where is the best place to get the "Comfrey / Knitbone" from, does it come in a...

    Rehydration for gippy tum.

    Thank you @Hemlock. I will look into that. My Senior vet who has stepped back from front line practice "Mark Elliott" , would often use homeopathic remedies, this was sometimes along side the conventional treatment and sometimes alone. Oh how I miss him!

    Rehydration for gippy tum.

    We have a girl with a broken toe at the moment. Husband asked if she could have a plaster cast on it:rolleyes:, the vet said NO:D No blood involved or broken claws just a very limpy dog with a tiny broken bone.:oops:
