I am looking to buy the Furminator and I noticed that the Medium size comes in either for short hair or long hair. Has anyone found one to be better over the other? I have a 6 month old Pembroke who is shedding her puppy fur like crazy and I want to buy the size that will work for her when she is an adult. I hear that the furminator is great. Thank you for any advice you can give.

Here in Australia the RSPCA is trying to stamp out these factories that are pumping out puppies at an alarming rate!. The pet shop chains here in Australia are selling them at an alarming rate!. I look at these puppies in these glass cages and people pay a fortune for them with no history on the puppy!. I know the Government is trying to stamp out these puppy factories! how well it is working I do not know?. My vet told me that most of her clients who bring in these pups they always have…

It's tough to accept as she is not quite 2 years old, but Lucy is having difficulty with her hind legs, weakness that makes it nearly impossible to go up a step or even walk. Had to take her to the vet who x-rayed her, though it did not show much. Given her symptoms and how she is walking, he believes it is some kind of disk problem--it just couldn't show up on the x-ray. She is on restricted rest and some meds. I am supposed to watch for "knuckling" that will indicate a decline and then I…

Hi All

I never posted before but needed some comfort. After 1 year of all family members getting bitten badly, 2 trainers, 2 behaviorists, vet checks, meds and many scary growling incidents at other people we had no choice but to bring our beloved corgi back to the breeder who then euthanized him. Needless to say rescue would not take him nor could he be re-homed.

We made the difficult decision after the last violent attack which lasted for a good part of an hour. Our home became an… Continue

Isn't it exciting when the day comes for your Child(puppy) to come home!. Yes we do go nuts and buy everything in the petstore!. I remember when Oscar came home as a 3 month old puppy I took a months Parental leave everybody @ work laughed but it was the best time bonding with Oscar!. As a parent of a 4 legged child it is just as important to be there for them as it is for a 2 legged Child!. I believe that those first few months sets them up for life!. sleepless nights puppy porrige! the…

Many of you may already know this, but Edward, a very sweet 2 year old corgi went in for surgery to remove a polyp in her bladder, and had her bladder rupture. This required emergency surgery to repair her bladder, and she will still need to under go more surgery, as well as vet care for another week or so. As you can imagine, this is not cheap! Poor Ed's Momma is a student, and need all the help she can get to pay for Ed's care. The latest news on Ed is that she made it through the night,…
