A good dog is a trained dog

A vet has suggested giving my 9 month old overexcited puppy Clomicalm.

Any advice?

Ok so to explain... Im looking for a dog coat that has a T shaped section that goes between his front legs and Velcro’s on either side of his body (like a baby nappy?).

Not one that Velcro’s across his chest and on one side of his body like this: http://www.dog-online.co.uk/images/green...

We have one similar to that above but he only pulls it off and then wrestles with it lol.

Im in Australia and its winter here. The only ones I can find are those above then someone mentioned the T-shaped dog coat.

Any suggestions?

Is every second day too much?

I would like to know what kind of course I need to complete to become an Electrical Designer or Draftsperson?

This is the Uni I will be attending... yes its in Australia... if you can tell me the course from this site that would be appreciated!

Thanks for your answers!!

Are there any Central Queenslanders on here?

Looking for raw pet food sources in that area.

Your experiences?

Any suggestions on companies?

How much did you pay, size of car?

Thanks

Is there anywhere I can buy a set WITHOUT a prescription from my optometrist?

Im about to leave go on a long road trip across Australia and don't want to go see this guy that Ive seen since moving here (he isn't even my regular dr and he isnt that nicest!).

I know the prescription details and everything.

Serious answers only. Just wondering if it is possible :o) Thanks

Mine isnt, but a lot of other people I know have to give their dogs Doggy Valium to calm them down during a storm.

My puppy has just started to bite my arms or hands when ever I go out to see him. I have tried saying no/ouch/argh, I also ignore him until he sits before patting him, and even though I hate doing it I tap him on the nose if it’s harder than normal!

Im moving back home in a few weeks and need to stop this behaviour as my parents neighbours all have small children and they tend to come over to swim in our pool without asking (yes I know bad idea... potential drowning in the making, but we have addressed that with their parents. Thankfully its winter now so they don’t come over as much).

Any tips on how to stop the biting though?

We are attending dog obedience classes and I try to do regular training sessions with him during the week.

What does your dog have and what do you do to help with the symptoms?

I have a Staffy x Kelpie, at 6 months of age he weighs 18.5kgs.

Im moving interstate in a few weeks and Ive arranged to transport my puppy (6 months) and 2 kittens (4 and 7 months) over before I leave. My mum is going to be looking after them for about 2 weeks until I leave and arrive over there.

Ive been feeding raw for a few weeks now and am still learning the quantities/ratio of meat-bone-organ. I tend to buy in bulk, separate into smaller bags then freeze when I get home for each meal for the week(s) ahead.

Can anyone suggestion a simple ratio of meat-bone-organ (in kgs ONLY) that I can tell my mum to buy for my pup per week? I don’t want to explain the % ratios to her… it’s just too confusing – Ive already tried and it ended in an argument.

Puppy is a 6 month old of Staffy x Kelpie, weighs approx 18.5kgs. We have tried; chicken, beef, bit of kangaroo and mutton – meat, bones, and organs of each. Id like to keep it as simple as possible. Any suggestions?

I’ve only recently started introducing the kittens, Id rather not confuse mum with all the math so they can go back to pet food for a few weeks.

Ok, Ive been feeding raw now for about 2 months. Without giving me the exact ratio/quantities - how much and often do you feed your dog? What is his/her age and breed?

Ill start off:

- Breed: Staffy x Kelpie, 6 months

- He is fed twice a day

Meals: 1 meaty bone (chicken, beef/lamb neck, kangaroo tail etc), with some mince (depends on how much meat is on bone, but usually a handful) with another smaller half handful of organs (liver, giblets, kidney etc).

Do you mix up your meats? Sometimes Ill give him chicken with lamb for example.

Also, is it true Kangaroo is high in iron?

Im driving from one side of the country to other side... has anyone crossed the Nullabor? I need to know where all the petrol stations are and how far apart they are.

My pets are going from Western Australia to central Queensland and someone mentioned they may be put in quarantine due to swine flu... Ive never heard of it happening before but am still curious.

- Multi destination stops

- Fuel stops

- Food stops

- Rest breaks

Im travelling from Perth, WA to Gladstone, Qld (across country) and am trying to prepare myself. As I know when you cross the Nullabour there arent too many breaks etc
