I'm very much a lurker - especially since losing my little dog and my only remaining horse going on loan due to my ill health - but I enjoy browsing and i can honestly say I haven't ever felt so utterly invested in a thread about someone I don't know. It's very evident from the replies here...

Pretty much echoing the above. Another agreeing not to buy it in bulk. If they eat it alongside nausea it can put them off it that product and then you've wasted a loads. I do think the renal diets definitely have their place though so great if you can get them to eat it for as long as...

Thanks for so many replies again! I feel like I'm swaying back towards a bitch again,but ideally I would like to let the pup choose me. I keep an eye on various for sale sites and there is nothing at all less than about 120 miles from me so when it comes to it, it may be an overnight job. I...

So you all very helpful in recommended some breeds for my situation and helped me to clarify in my mind that what I would really love is a Border Terrier. I'm now dithering over the the male v female question - or just meet the puppies and see which 'speaks' to me then? I've always had female...

Gosh so many different things to consider. Thank-you so much everyone for taking the time to reply. I'm not sure how to quote individuals but I've noted down all the recommendations I am constantly coming back to the border terrier. Always wanted one, never mind one i didnt love when working...

What do we think about Bedlington whippets as a slightly hardier compromise? I've met a few purebred beddies that have had the most gorgeous temperaments.

Thank you for your replies so far :), I have to admit a parsons was considered as she was very chunky but I'm not sure if it's still too close? I will have a look into them. I would absolutely love a border terrier - they would actually be very near on exactly what I'd like but they seem to...

Good morning I wondered if anyone would like to help inspire me. I lost my dog of an absolute lifetime a year ago and am only now beginning to think I need a four legged friend in my life again to keep me company, give a focus and help with the ongoing healing process which has been the most...

I'm so sorry you are facing this. I've had two of mine pts now, both older girls. Both by injection and neither sedated first. They were both very easy going girls, neither vet or needle phobic. If I thought there was any chance of them being stressed by it then I would definitely have...

Great - thank you guys! Interesting re the tramadol. I would be very keen to switch to something else as I'm not convinced it it's actually that effective, and certainly for the degree to which she hates it (which is a shame as its relatively cheap lol) I would love to find an alternative so...

Hi guys. Just wondering if anyone had any foolproof tips for giving dogs pills please? My dog is generally excellent to tablet, not fussy and will take worming tablets, yumove etc from my hand. But she is on long term tramadol which tastes absolutely disgusting and I am really struggling...

Am I imagining it or did there used to be a thread listing all dog foods in a red, Amber, green format giving a guide on quality? Or am I missing it somewhere obvious? Am in need of some kibble advice and thought that would be a good place to start Thanks x

It is a vet only product unfortunately. Not sure if it helps but I work at a vets and my little dog has been on yumove advance - with good effect - for a few years. We've recently had a few boxes of seraquin go out of date and so I have switched to this and am blown away by the difference...

I just wrote a very long reply and my phone ate it! Can I just add though -- my little dog was certainly not left in pain for a year. She was very well managed throughout and we were 100% on the ball with symptomatic treatment. No her disease wasn't stable, but her symptoms were well...
