Our 3 year old very healthy vibrant intact sheltie, Buddy, developed a habit 9 months ago, of licking other dogs' urine when he's out on the lead. He didn't used to do it, and it's mostly only when he's on the lead. (When he was tiny he used to try eat a lot of things / stones etc on the street...
Does anyone know how efficient the new ultrasonic teeth cleaning is? It's offered by dog groomers (no anaesthetic). Can also buy them, but i'm not sure if it's the same thing? eg https://amzn.eu/d/6UFWo4V
TIA if anyone knows about their efficacy.

I read that you should automatically give a worming medication after a flea outbreak. is that true?. We don't automatically give him worming medication normally. (The UK doesn't have heartworm. but it does have the other worms.) Budd is very healthy 3 yr old sheltie, on a real food diet. He's...
We're looking for teeth cleaning in the UK for our unneutered 3 year old Sheltie, Buddy. I've looked at all the dental resources here (which are brilliant) but i'm not sure how to find a real dental specialist who will do a thorough job?! He's never had a professional dental clean yet. (Buddy is...
If you could just recommend me one book on taking care of my puppy's health what should I get that is nice and practical? Thanks so much. (We're a little overwhelmed by all the info!)

We've been transitioning our 7 month sheltie to raw. We're just starting some raw meaty bones which we've frozen. I watched Dr Nick Thompson's videos and I want to check. Do we have to freeze all raw meat for 7 days or is that just raw meaty bones and do they need to be fully defrosted before...
Thanks so much for checking in. Vet said he wants to open it up on Friday under sedation and clean it out and try and see if there's anything in there. He would then leave it open and let heal naturally. He wants to go in from the cheek. It feels like the next best step as it has not gone...
Thanks so much for all the help! We're still searching for a homeopath who can do an urgent online consultation if there are any specific suggestions, presumably could be anywhere in the world?
