Pet insurance

A trial is a great idea Ocelot and nobody will be happier than me if you prove me wrong :wink: please understand it's because I like you I said what I did, not because I am a mean old bag (although I am). I have lived close to the bone when every unexpected bill was a disaster (and quite a few of t...

Yeah, what really annoys me is the fact that "pit bull-type dogs" encases about 20 breeds. I mean, if you put any 20 breeds together, of course they are going to have more total bites per year than any one. And because people misidentify pit bulls so often (I had Reader's Digest try to in...

Now, as I should have said :wink: of course it will be dead easy, he will housetrain in no time even though you aren't there, your Lottery ticket will come up for a modest amount that is enough to cover any bills, and your existing daycare person will just love a walloping big undersocialised lout ...

Thanks fundog that's good to know. To be honest i was wondering about that, the outdoor living I mean, but not just in relation to house / potty training. My thoughts were how do i show an adult male dog who has never kived indoors the 'boundaries' (granted there aren't really that many in my house)...

Hi Horace's mum! She is a doberman but not a paricularly large one. she currently fits in a medium (I think) sized Halti harness (these are the ones with two straps, one going around the shoulders and tummy and the other across the chest). The sheepskin harness sounds good, could you maybe post me a...
