Wretched for you Kate. It has rained here, but only one day of relentless rain, the only day I can ever remember not taking a dog out! Otherwise manageable rain x
Very well done Maxx. I live on my own and have had dogs who would bark and scare off a burglar, but Flicka never barks and wouldn't scare a fly! So I do worry!
Yes, that is exactly right sadly. I feel there is no need for flea protection unless there is a flea problem. I never use it and up to this moment, my dogs have never had fleas. However, when we visited Cornwall I did use tick protection. I did read that vets were going to be told not to...
Unless you have a flea problem or live in a tick area, I would never, ever put a chemical into my dog's body unless absolutely necessary.
I have come across Bravecto.
Yes, my ex boss (veterinary surgeon) voluntary retired to save the salaries of the other vets. Some time back I was at corporate vet and there was a girl there doing 'time and motion' from the company! I have now moved to an independent vet but felt sad leaving the practice as vets and staff...
@M.F. I was with a corporate veterinary practice and one vet did press for unnecessary tests etc as she had to hit targets. So sad, the vets, nurses and reception staff did not gain any benefit in salary.
