My two had this before Christmas and it wasn't nice, but doesn't sound as bad as others have had it. Rupert (the spaniel who will eat anything) was ignoring anything edible and was projectile vomiting, and did so until his stomach was empty. I cut out his food and kept a close eye, then...

At the moment while its dark in th evenings I am walking the same common field in the forest. Mine are always off lead and I walk/run around the field 3 times to do just over 2 miles. Its big and fenced so it does mean I don't have to worry about them so much while I run. Once the evenings are...

I agree that its useless as it is however that newspaper story has me wondering. I know that stolen dogs have been found before now having had their microchips cut out. The dog thieves must have known where to dig for them (as they cant always be felt) so they must have a scanner, like many...

Some of you may know I have a show x working cocker called Rupert, he's coming 3 this spring and always been a sensitive little soul. I started training him at agility when he was younger and he seemed to love it, picked it up really quickly and had great fun at training. A bit sniffy at times...

I suppose £50 for peace of mind isn't a bad thing :)

Rushed Pip to the vets last night as when I got home her 3rd eyelid was closed over and her eye looked a different colour in the light - panic stations! I'm not usually one to panic and rush to the vets, but having had a horse go blind from recurrent uveitis I know how serious eye problems can...

hmmm i know this one, not with my agility training though, treats are hidden in pocket :) My well trained dogs at obedience class last night totally failed the 'Leave it' exercise that they do every day and both ran to & emptied the bowl before I could blink ....... naughty scamps LOL

Same here with my little Pip. She's happiest when she's baking hot. I'm sure it cant be good for her ? I always worry when she sleeps under the duvet all night !

yes mine does as she's a shiverer

Or maybe an impacted or rotting tooth?

I have a dog and a bitch, one is a cocker spaniel and one is a spring spaniel x terrier, both are neutered My bitch has so much drive and always wants to please. It is a pleasure to train her (we do agility) and I get so much back from her, she's a real pleasure.......... however my dog (the...

thanks everyone that's put my mind at ease. Its a horrid sound isn't it but its not a really regular thing and she's happy and bouncy as usual :) Interesting that Terriers may get it more than others.

Can anyone tell me a bit about this please I've had dogs for a few years now BUT I have never experienced it with other dogs. First time was when Pippa was about 6 months old. I thought she dying, sounded like she couldn't breathe and really had me worried but within 10 seconds it stopped and...

Argh this makes me laugh and cringe in equal measures. Just like local horse shows I once entered my fit cocker spaniel in a working dog class at a fun show. I was using our visit to the show as a training session really and practiced on keeping his attention, standing him up and sitting him...

Nightmare isn't it I think all dog owners should have to do a basic test / licence The other day I saw something dark coloured ahead in the forest so recalled my two and popped back on lead........ turns out it was the biggest pair of great danes I have ever seen ! They came full pelt over to...
