I live in Ireland & it is difficult to get decent dog feed here, it is also starting to cost us a fortune!!!

I was wondering if anyone knows how much it is likely to cost to feed raw to this number of dogs & whether it is really a good idea...?

Thank you in advance!

If the lines are bad, can they develope mental health problems & be a risk to children..?

Hi i asked this question a couple of days ago, but only got a couple of replies & was hoping to get some responces from peoples own experiences with them...

Was trying to choose between Timberwolf, Solid Gold or Eagle Pack......

I have 4 Staffies & a Setter X... 2 Staffies (6yr old & 20mth) need weight loss, the others just need a meal everyday!! Lol!!

The 2 that need weight loss, 6yr old has joint problems, 20mth old does too from being hit by a car.

I live in Ireland so very few options on food, found these on zooplus...

Thank you in advance!!

Eagle Pack or Timberwolf...? It's for 4 Staffies & a setter X... 2 Staffies (6yr old & 20mth old) need weight loss/ joint care, 3 just need feeding!! Lol!!

They range from 6-1years....

Thank you!!

I have an adopted Staffie who i got 2 mths ago when she was handed over to the rescue i help... She was over weight from being fed but locked in a flat on her own for 12hrs a day, never being taken out or walked....

She's only 18mths old but i know she had puppies at 8mths... :(

She had a slight limp & scarring on her back leg, but the vet who checked her said it was only a stretched ligament.... (NOT my vet)

Now she saw my vet but as it didn't bother her & she's not in pain she said to leave it but bring her back if it got worse; so i did & took her for xrays to establish what is going on....

I cried when i spoke to the vet as she actually has a fractured pelvic & leg; healed but unlikely treated.... Her hock is the problem & eventually she'll need surgery to fuse the joint......

She is the sweetest dog ever, never barks, never growls- just talks to you!!

So after all she's been thru, she can still feel that bond with people, even tho she was treated so poorly...

Hi i was wondering if anyone had any tricks/ tips to get dogs to go in one area only?!?

When i take them out they go where i tell them, but when they are out during the rest of the day they go everywhere.....

We have a pea graveled area for them to 'toilet' on, but after the morning they don't use it...

I clean up everyday as i have a small son....

Thank you

& the no. being destroyed..?

Now i'll admit we had an accidental litter 5yrs ago, 2 pups; one adopted by our vet, the other we have now as the home that adopted him had a Boxer that started to attack him as he was going blind.... Ok so that's out the way!!

We currently own 3 staffies & a foster....

Thing is there is so many that the rescues can't take them, yet they're still being bred..... Where is the logic?!?

(one staffie of ours is a rescue at 18mths, the foster is only 11 mths)
