    Any fussy eaters out there?

    Just wondered if anybody has had similar issues with the above. Freddie can only have certain food and just when we think we have a food he really likes and agrees with him he decides he doesnt like it any more. We have spent hundreds of pounds on food and most of it ends up going to charity...

    Vomiting if walk is before breakfast

    Those of you who have read previous threads know that Freddie has some health issues including IBD and food tolerances. He has been through a bit of a rough phase eatingwise but seems to be back on track at the moment. Normally he is fed about 8am ish then walked about 10-10.30 ish and then...

    Change of Diet

    We have had to change Freddie’s diet as he just got bored of it and won’t eat it any more. Had to go straight into a new one (albeit the dry version of the same make but different flavour) He was on the wet version and it did wonders for his stomach including mainly stopping the night time...

    Dreaded Anal Glands/Itchiness

    Hi. Been a while since I last posted. Finally got Freddie on a diet that seems to have sorted his tummy issues. However….we now have the dredded anal gland issues and he also seems more itchy (not sure if that is seasonal). Does anybody have any advice? We tried so many diets on him so...

    Fibre Supplements

    It’s been a while since I last posted - those that remember Freddie know he has been unwell at times but is currently doing well all things considered. He started having very loose bowel movements (about every 3 or 4 days - what can only be described as a massive cow pat) The vets were not...

    Diet

    My dog has been on a specific diet for months due to ill health. He was feeling off colour at the weekend - sickness, poor tummy and off his food. We let him be for a bit and kept offering him small amounts of boiled chicken. He is now feeling better and we want to get him back on his specific...

    Chewing phase

    My dog is 15 months now so clearly not teething anymore. He has started chewing on things like my rug, slippers, cushions, blankets - - anything soft that might be in the way. Most of these were hidden away when he was a young puppy except the rug - this is a new thing. Does chewing increase...

    Toileting

    Not really sure what people can add but figured I had nothing to lose by posting. The weather has been warmer and as a result Freddie is drinking more water and therefore toileting more - particularly in the evening. I would not dream of taking away his water but he is now going about every half...

    Any ideas for fussy puppy?

    So my puppy has been on chicken and rice for what seems like ages. We tried to ween him off several times without success. We do this very slowly but he either develops an intolerance to the new food or more recently won’t eat the new food and picks out the chicken only and leaves the new food...

He is 7 months old and in this time he has been allergic to flea meds, had kennel cough (despite being vaccinated) had giardia, acid reflux and the latest incident was a partial blockage due to eating a bit of rubber and had to have part of his...

    Puppy Toilet Training

    Hi. I was wondering if somebody could give me some advice. My puppy is 7 months old and has not had a toilet accident in the house for at least a few months - I would like to keep it that way. He sleeps through the night from about 10.30 pm until 7ish without needing to go to the toiler...

    Puppy Food

    Hi there. How do I know I am feeding the right amount? My puppy is 6 months old and never begs for food (unless it is human food!) He often has a rumbly tummy in the early hours and throws up bile (looking into this) but it suggests he is hungry. His stools are solid in the morning but get a bit...
