Hi All, We have a 7 month old pup and work full time. We both have flexible hours but I do feel guilty leaving the little one even though it is only for a couple of hours at a time. Does any one have suggested pass times or other coping strategies? I think a dog walker/sitter would help but the...

Puppy is six months now and so far we've had worming tablets from the vet which have been prescribed during visits for other things such as the vaccinations. Now we need the next supply but do not need to go to the vets for anything else. So, question is, do we go to the vets for the next 3...

it's that time of the year which I normally enjoy, but this year I have a puppy and she's not so keen. Yesterday she was in the garden having a wee and a firework went off mid flow. She bolted inside and needed consoling for quite a while. Any tips to get through this period?

What keeps your puppy occupied at home? Mine likes chewing milk cartons....anything plastic including water bottles. she's not too bothered about the kong bones and other rubber bones. sometimes i put treats in plastic containers which you get fruit and veg in from the supermarket and that takes...

Hello, quite often my puppy whines...She's 5 months and i often don't know what this means. Some times she can have eaten, been out, i'm with her and she still whines and whines. Some times i think i know the answer, for example she wants my husband, or to go out, but often i think i've done...

hello, Puppy's abdomen hurts if i pick her up this morning. i usually pick her up and she's fine, but today she yelped a little - not a scream, but a small yelp. She seems a bit lethargic too. I was thinking i'll wait until lunchtime and see how she is then make an appointment if no change. I...

Hi All, Please could I have your thoughts on training? I've done some research and there are some group sessions near me. My pup is nearly 5 months so we were told she can't do the puppy class, but instead need to do the class up from that (adolescent?). However, the times for the older class...

Hi All, i'm usually in the puppy forum, but thought I'd venture in to the grown up bit for this query :) I was wondering what tips people had for washing pet hair off clothes. Of course I want minimum effort :) Stuff I've heard of/ tried so far: Pre wash cycle ....vinegar.....tumble drier...

Hello, Does anyone know how to prevent puppy wee "burning" the grass. I've seen something about rocks to put in the puppy's drinking water. Are these safe? Otherwise watering the grass once she's been, but i can't keep that up realistically. Any tips or advice would be appreciated. Thank you

Hi All, I did a free kennel club temporary insurance when we first got our puppy and another freebie with an insurance from our vets. That's about to expire so need to pick a "permenant" insurance now. Any suggestions/thoughts? I'm a bit confused by the concept of a life time insurance. Thank you

Puppy jumps up with her front paws on the table and on the kitchen work tops. I've tried a firm "no"....a firm "down"....ignored her....shouted at her....closed her outside....closed her in another room. What's left to try? I don't want her on the surfaces as it's the only place we have left...

Hello All, We have a puppy, and I'm now thinking if we might be able to have a short holiday....even just a night away. What are your thoughts? I've seen dog friendly places, but does that mean *puppy* friendly? Would it be best just to get someone to look after her for a night, or skip the...

Hi All, We're picking up our new puppy soon. I have many questions, but will start with the first one :) What are your suggestions around meals? The breeders are giving her cheese ... cottage and others, with a mixer and some times mince. I was looking at getting the Royal Canin Junior...
