Question- a good quality dry kibble for a 1 year old akita? My boyfriend has been feeding her BETA large breed puppy food but the ingredients list seems pretty shifty to me with the main ingredients being "cereals" followed by meat "derivitives" My two whippets eat mainly raw with a very small...

Hey all! So basically I am looking to give a home to an Italian Greyhound. I have two whippets (both rescued) and would love an Italian Greyhound. I usually rehome dogs rather than buy puppies so would prefer to do this (though would consider a pup) I also have a cat so preferably an IG who...

Hey all Hoping someone can help. My little whippet boy's tail has started to go bald recently and I don't know what is causing it! He is otherwise absolutely fine, all worming, fleaing up to date etc and not a thing wrong with him in any other way there is just a bald strip on the top of his...

Hi There I have an American akita, 1 year old. She was born with an eye condition and was almost blind as a young pup thpgh her eyesight improved as she got older. I am a bit concerned as she often leans against the wall for no apparent reason. I know it can be serious if a dog leans the...

Hey all I began to introduce some RAW feeding to my two whippets a few months back. I still include some wainwrights salmon kibble as I find it helps keep a bit of weight on them (Dolly in particular is a very slight little thing) but they get tripe, chicken, beef etc raw. I have read a bit...

As I said, personal preference! It's not for me. I am very lucky to have my two in the country where they have the run of the fields and the woods daily. x

Where about in Edinburgh is this? I have two whippets. I would never take them into the racing industry as a personal preference but a bit of "unofficial" Lure Coursing for fun would be ideal for them. I think they would love it!! xx

Two whippets! Dolly and Cash! Also had lurchers in the past! I just LOVE sighthounds and would have another in a heartbeat.....

I recently (3 months ago) rehomed a 2 year old whippet bitch as a companion to my 4 year old (castrated) dog. The woman who I got her from said she had an issue with her weeing in the house but after vet checks etc it was put down to her attempting to dominate another bitch in the pack (both...

Hi there! Thanks so much for your response. the vet didn't do any tests because she said that at his age it sometimes happens and there isn't really a direct cause/treatment. She said they would only do a test if it was to happen again. she said he could have another close together or may...

Hi there 2 nights ago my 4 and 1/2 year old blue whippet had, what has since been diagnosed as, an idiopathic seizure. We were lying sleeping when I got woken up by a noise. he had urinated all over the bed, was on the floor at this point still urinating, banged his head and had a cut on his...

Hi all! So this is my first post here! I have two whippets Cash - 41/2, blue, had from 1 year old. Dolly - 2, unspeyed as yet, only had for 2 weeks (got as a companion for Cash) I believe in a varied diet and have done some research into the BARF diet. However I have never put any of my...
