We keep to our local butcher, both to support him and to make sure we know exactly where the meat comes from. The bones are all from meat intended for human consumption, I wouldn't risk giving our lot anything else. I guess there could be problems with bigger companies, but I would advise people...

She's wonderful. We're taking the boys to her next Sat and i'll fill you all in on how they get on. It's going to be a bit of a mixed day - smiles and tears probably too! Thanks for your kind words, Terry. Our first foster boys, and they've made it so easy for us. We've caught the fostering bug...

Thanks to everyone who looked up Paddy and Jo - pleased to say they now have a lovely new mum in Somerset. They will be spoilt rotten in a cottage on a farm with lots of garden to mooch about in. To say nothing of sleeping on sofas and in mum's bed ... home-from-foster-home, really!! They're...

Our local butcher saves us raw chicken wings, thighs and legs and pork ribs. Raw bones are great - much better than the roasted ones you find in pet shops, which I find can still splinter. You can freeze them as well. Our butcher also does a dog mince (basically all the sweeping off the floor...

Thanks, Eve, we love them too! We even had the 'shall we keep them' discussion at the weekend, but we're more use to Scruples if we can foster others. Good new is that we've just heard last night from Rachel at Scruples that we might have a home for them. Lovely single lady in rural cottage in...

If the dandruff carries on, Neem capsules might help. We used them for Edie after Keri from CSJ foods recommended them and they work really well. She was almost bald on her bum and was very scurfy on the rest of her coat, but the neem improved her within a month - her coat is lovely and shiny...

Please take a look on the Scruples forum for Paddy and Jo updates. They are lovely old boys, very gentle and looking for a warm sofa to curl up on. They have really come out of their shells in the last couple of weeks - it was lovely to watch them playing together on the common for the first...

Thanks for doing the link Fee-Fee - i'm a bit technically challenged :wacko: I'm not connected to the site, but I called the valerie Skinner, Northern rep of daxie rescue, and she had had some contact with them. He's a lovely man, with an assistant on site apparently. Valerie suggested they...

Hi - there are a pair of mini daxies in a rescue in Lincolnshire: Keith's Rescue in Skegness. They only rehome in Lincs, won't rehome after the 12th Dec until early Jan and carry out careful homechecks. Bitch and a dog, red and what looks like a dapple. I'm a whippet woman myself (!) with 3...

Hi - Arden Grange salmon and potato is great for our 3 whippets - all different ages from 18 months to 14 old lady. Two have sensitive stomachs and we've found this is the one they like the best (they wouldn't eat Wafcol salmon and potato without marmite and honey on top! Very fiddly!!) The pup...

Hi - new member here. Am letting all the sighthound rescue groups I can find know about an ad i've just been sent by Freeads for a 9 month old blue whippet bitch for sale for £300 or to swap for a laptop. Is it possible for the seller to do this? I'm useless at links (sorry - technophobe!), but...
