  1. Troy (10-year old pyrenees): Wainwrights Trays - it's the only food at the moment that doesn't give him the runs Dylan (9-year old lurcher): CSJ Lamb Senior/Light - he is prone to weight gain and this keeps him in good shape and I can still feed him a decent amount Flash (5-year old saluki): Benevo with Missing Link and Vegezyme supplements. He is allergic to animal protein and is on a vegan diet. Jesse (3-year old American cocker spaniel): home cooked, turkey mince, sweet potatoe, veg, fruit. Jesse is allergic to all sorts (including ALL dry foods), so needs a strict diet. Vera
  2. I tried the liquid Glucosamine, Chondroitin & MSM complex from Holland & Barrett and saw pretty quick and excellent results in both the dogs I am giving it too. It is quite cheap too and often available half price. Another one which I haven't seen mentioned here is Green Lipped Mussel extract. Good stuff too as it helps with the inflammation! Vera
  3. Jack's been found! He walked all the way to Orpington where he was picked up by a couple on Sunday and returned by the Dog Warden on Monday! He is a little lame, but otherwise well! Vera
  4. This is the email I got from a desperate friend this morning: "Just to let you know that Jack went missing from Beckenham Place Park on friday 31st July. He has not been seen since. We are devastated and are doing everything we can think of to get him back. We wanted to let you know and wondered if you could put a message on the wagging tails site? We have everything crossed that someone will find him. He was out with the dog walkers at the time and got spooked. He hasn't done that for a bout a year but he did." Any information please contact me via email or pm and I will forward it.
  5. Another article to look at: Kidney disease
  6. Sounds very good indeed... would particularly love to do gundoggy stuff with my American Cocker, but I do classes on Saturday mornings and it's a bit on the expensive side at the moment. Will mull over this a bit longer and then come to a decision... Vera
  7. When I used Orijen some time ago for our two older dogs, I did like it (and so did they... ), however, one of the reasons why I changed away from it again to CSJ was that I ended up feeding such small amounts to Dylan, that it was hardly worth the trouble... and left Dylan very hungry! He only gets small amounts of most foods as he puts on weight easily, but Orijen was a bit extreme and I felt sorry for him. Vera
  8. Or perhaps due to their experience, they just don't know how else to deal with stressful situations and automatically resort to what they've always known... Vera
  9. Our pyrenees used to wear a round leather collar which is the best for long haired breeds. It was however not strong enough, so he now wears a 3/4 inch leather martingale collar which seems to do the trick too with minimal matting. Vera
  10. Have you tried baby whipes? I use the for all sorts and they generally work great. Vera
  11. Mistral here too, I love the eucalyptus smell. Why not see whether you can share it with someone? There is four of us at my dog training club that share, so postage is not such a big issue then. We buy four bottles at the time. Vera
  12. Happy Gotcha Day, beautiful Indy! What a distinguished looking gentleman you have turned into. Vera
  13. Jesus, now you're telling me... Am I glad or what that it wasn't the right time for you, because I would have missed out on the most wonderful boy! Vera PS. We went agility training yesterday for the first time in a few weeks. It was hot (though not unbearably, so it wasn't a problem for the dogs) and we did the last round in the session! Flash had us all in stitches when he casually WALKED over a jump instead of jumping it. I think he was trying to tell me that he'd had enough...
  14. I'm in South London, a bit far to "pop along" I guess... but here's an obedience test I have done with Dylan at Bishop Burton College, (keeping in mind that he had a small abscess on his foot so we didn't insist on sits if he didn't want to do them): Copyright by Pauline Jackson, 2007 If you fancy doing it, I would definitely give it a go. They are not easy, but it's not impossible! They will never be obedience champions and with Flash I am unlikely to ever compete in outside venues due to his habit of suddenly taking off for a run... But he enjoys the indoor limit shows and always makes people's heads turn when he works. Vera
  15. No, no-one I know has ever come across another saluki or even saluki cross at obedience shows. There is however a lady that does it with afghans. Vera
