i have just recently had my beloved old field spaniel put to sleep. I know I did the right thing, but apart from being consumed by grief I am also beating myself up with the most appalling guilt. During the past two years I have been suffering from persistent vertigo which has affected my life...

BRavecto chewy tablet every six months, does ticks as well. Avoids having to use those pipettes things which alway leave a greasy residue in the coat. A VERY regular brush and comb like most days helps as well. Juliatee

There is a good app called Doglicious which gives lists of things to avoid or give in moderation to your dog.  As far as I remember it is free, and produced by Elmos Kitchen . juliatee

Can we assume from this comment that you have something to do with this show and that the puppies are being carefully followed up? It would be reassuring to think so. Hopefully as the show progresses we will see how Delia is coping in a more sensible manner in "normal life".  It's good to hear...

 I am sure you all realise I mean fancy dress!  Of course my dog has functional clothing, and I agree about the mummy thing! juliatee

And another thing.  Why do people dress up their dogs.  They are dogs for goodness sake!,. I have a black dog and all her accoutrements are black. I even draw the line at a coloured harness or lead, but I guess that is just my particular preferences! juliatee

I think that is the gist of it gypsymums - hopefully the general public WILL realise how hard it is to rear a happy well behaved dog.  Hopefully none of these situations were quite as bad as we were led to believe.  There is never any discussion about toilet training!, That poor leonburger...

I think he is amazing too, but I find him irritating!!! Ego the size of a house but deservedly so.  I often wonder how long some of the dogs with spinal surgery live and it would be good to have a follow up series, as you suggest with the puppy programme. Hope Animal rescue manages to rehome...

Friday ITV. Teach my pet to do that Mountain  rescue man doing a good job, dog out and about all day.  Can't see leonburger woman doing much! Or those poor chihuahua  people.  Golden retriever doing ok eventually as also cocker spaniel  I would have locked that child in the dogs crate and let...

Anyone watching this?  I can't believe the lives some poor puppies have and I can't believe any breeder would let a leonburger pup go to someone living in a flat! I find myself screaming at the TV in frustration or screwed up with embarrassment..  The programme does make some good comments and...

I don't feed a raw diet but certainly agree with both replies! juliatee

Did anyone see this last week and their comments about raw dog food I.e. That it can cause bacterial infections.  Anyone have anything to say??!!! juliatee

Nope, don't have any of that. But it was made in a pottery in Yorkshire!,

She was always a princess and now she's older she is a bitter of a diva!!

I know what gypsymums means about dogs remembering things. My dog developed "bowl horror " a few months ago. And refused to eat out of the bowls she has used all her life. I have no real idea why except that one morning there was an open cupboard door just by where she eats and something fell...

Help needed please! My elderly spaniel bitch is currently getting over a stomach upset. And eating rice and chicken nature diet and scrambled egg. Prior to that she was on a diet of Wafcol sensitive with a bit of Chappie and cooked veg and she was doing really well and then suddenly got really...

My 13 year old spayed spaniel bitch has been leaking urine and for the past few weeks propalin syrup has worked fine. She is now leaking again and I shall be going to the vet in the next few days. Anyone had any luck with any other treatment? She is leaking rather than having accidents...

Tripe sticks! Also I have a large green plastic dish with large knobles sticking up from it! If I am going out for any length of time I put dog meat, yoghurt, anything you can think of between these knob less and keeps her busy for awhile. The idea is that it resembles eating from a bony...

Hi everyone, I have been aware that my elderly spaniel bitch has been drinking more than usual so I took her to the vet. The results of a blood test that he took were that her kidney results were just within normal parameter but she showed a high ALT(?) reading. She is going in for a ACTH...

I started my spaniel,on both Yumove and Yumega when she was about seven. I think it helped keep arthritis at bay although she has some in her left hip now at 13. They are available from Lintbells, and if you join their club, no fee, you get a bit of a discount and they often have fairly...
