Hello all. I've been blessed with dogs who have good teeth in the past, however my little rescue border collie has dreadful teeth, and they're starting to go brown. Vet has suggested cleaning them so can anyone recommend a good doggie tooth paste. Thanks!

Like others my boy threw a few negative tests first although looked very cushings and had to grade lami Responding well too half a tablet now and his levels are well below the threshold. He is managed on very poor grazing, soaked hay and some high fibre low sugar feed, and remains in regular...

I use magnetic leg wraps, my boys legs hardly fill, although only in over night, when he doesn't have them on his legs puff up. Noticeable difference with the wraps.

Hoping to go to dogs in need this year. We compete our 2yr old rescue collie, grade 1. Just for fun and socialising.

Good luck!!!!!!!!! Just started before Christmas with my recuse BC, he is great....I'm rubbish haha. Did flyball and obedience with my last BC but this boy has not ball drive, but is loving agility, we are doing obedience too. I think the agility however has really helped socialise him and get a...

Love these pics, its exactly what my BC does. Yes fun to watch and its likely he's been on a farm so its probably instinct. Thanks for the replies guys! x

Does anyone else have a BC that displays ratting behaviour? My little rescue has come on in leaps and bounds quite literally. With his new found confidence and knowledge of the world has come some behaviours I wouldn’t associate with collies and my old collie certainly never :) He stalks...

my horse was diagnosed a few weeks ago but been border line for a while. started prascend this week and struggled with high worms counts for a while now. i can help. we have been 3 months clear of worming and due for a count soon. happy to participate if you like x

nt haha, love it, that was definitley a laugh out loud moment

Ahhh, thanks everyone, these stories are lovely to read, how you have all helped your wonderful companions have a better life :) we only had an 1 very small incident with the tooth brush charger last night, and this morning our lil lad was so excited to get up and see us and have a walk, his...

Thanks everyone, i have to say compared to my old BC who was literally a bag of nerves when we got him at 3yrs and would bolt even if you coughed or sneezed, this lil lad is not half as bad. We got there after a few years with the old boy, turned him into a very confident boy, who enjoyed his...

Thanks guys, all makes for interesting reading and thinking! Do you think its ok to allow the behaviour to continue or could it lead to separation issues/anxiety/possession etc. He was with me for about 2/3 hours continually before the sock and toy instances. We had had a walk, food, done...

After losing my old boy a few weeks ago, I rescued a 14 month old border collie from a rescue centre about 2 weeks ago. No history, but he is very affectionate and well behaved so far and a pleasure to own and train (only basic heal, wait and sit etc at the moment). He is very bright and wants...

Hi, I cant comment on Hormonise , but I put my border line cushings horse on feedmark's C plus and then NAF Cushinaze and since his first test, his levels have come down slightly. He is is just agnus castus now. Cant say if its the supplements or not that have done this, but they certinatley...

ok, thanks, just ordered some so we shall see. I did use NAF and feedmarks product first so they are more expensive so we shall see how we go with just the angus castus. thanks for your help xx
