    Slightly concerned about Poppy

    Glad to hear you seem to have gotten to the bottom of it. Out of all my dogs only my two Clumbers have ever had a rabies vaccination for their pet passports and it knocked it out of both of them for a while.

    Alpha Spirit

    I use this for training ZiwiPeak Mackerel & New Zealand Lamb Dry Dog Food From £24.99 It smells very strongly of mackerel and all the dogs absolutely love it. A small bag even though expensive goes a long way. The only downside is that the pieces are small, flat and very light. So not so good if...

    Tell me about dog dressing gowns.

    Ziggy my Clumber in his equafleece jumper. I think it makes him look like a football goalie!! :giggle:

    Tell me about dog dressing gowns.

    I do have a couple of Ruff and Tumble coats but their are not really the ones I use all the time. They look good and are well made but when you put them on a wet dog they absorb the moisture and then just stay wet and you couldn't leave the dog wearing it over night for example. I find...

    Immunotherapy for Itchy Dogs

    Cytopoint contains an engineered antibody which recognises and neutralises a single protein which induces the itchiness in dogs with atopic dermatitis. It is not so much a drug but a biological treatment and is administered by injection. Some dogs need a monthly injection and others can go...

    Immunotherapy for Itchy Dogs

    Hope cytopoint will work for your girl. One of mine has a monthly injection of cytopoint and it is working brilliantly for him. It has literally switched off any itching.

    Raw, combination or no change?

    I honestly have no idea how or where I caught the bug but rather irrationally my brain took against the raw meat. And I hated handling it after that episode.

    Raw, combination or no change?

    I fed only human grade free range organic meats. No doubt better quality than some of the meat I eat myself.

    Raw, combination or no change?

    Cytopoint is relatively new in the UK. My dog is the first one at our vets to receive it. It is not a drug as such but a biological therapy. My vet is amazed how well it is working for my dog. The kibble is Nature’s Way fish & potato. It is produced locally to where I live and a few friends of...

    Raw, combination or no change?

    I have a very very itchy dog and over the years have tried every diet, ointment and potion under the sun, including feeding raw until about three months ago. Nothing made a huge difference. Three months ago I became quite ill with a campylobacter infection and I was worried it was handling the...

    New to Gun Dog Training

    It is not that simple though. A gundog trainer should have a very good understanding of actually working a dog. How a shoot works, how different breeds work, etc. Devon Dogs is not that far from me. I might check out one of their gundog days.

    At what point is a rescue no longer a rescue?

    Great looking dogs but definitely not for the faint hearted!!:pull:

    Lilly and Vulvitis - An autoimmune problem - Mucocutaneous (discoid) Lupus

    Apparently zinc oxide the ingredient in nappy rash creams and those highly coloured sun screens that sports people use is toxic to dogs. So be cautious.

    Lilly and Vulvitis - An autoimmune problem - Mucocutaneous (discoid) Lupus

    That looks really sore! Poor Lilly! Hope you get some answers from the dermatologist.
