Re: Commercial or home-made food?
Hi, this is Shawn, I'd like to say something. Read what is in your dog food, cooked grain of some type, veggies, maybe fruit, and meat. 7 ingredients-ish or so, you'd think. Count the ingredients. Wow! If you went to the store and bought just the cooked grain, veggies, fruit, and meat then brought ...

Re: Is my vet for real?
Thank you very much to all of your replies I really appreciate it so much. When I collected Dakota I was even more angry than before. I went into the practice and asked for her at the reception, the lady who greeted me took 20minutes to find Dakotas belongings and then proceeded to tell me that the ...

Re: Puppy or Adopt
I'm not sure which would be better, but if it was me and there were chows up for adoption I would certainly try that path! Imagine being able to give your chow a pal and at the same time give another chow an opportunity to better their life and give them the loving home they deserve! I think its won...

Is my vet for real?
So I took Dakota to the vets this morning at 8.30am for her scheduled entropion surgery, I wrote a note down explaining only to use Isoflurane gas and NO injectable anaesthetic to make sure it was down in writing as all surgeries are carried out at a different location to the vets practice. the vet ...

Thank you very very much Juniper.

I am so nervous and scared! I wish I ...
