Advantages: Relaxing therapy which eases pain at the same time Disadvantages: None that I am aware of
I was first introduced to the idea of veterinary acupuncture approximately three years ago when my 8 year old Labrador Retriever starting suffering quite badly with arthritis in his front elbow joint.
>>>Ben's Story<<<
Ben had the disadvantage of being born with joint problems, which included dysplasia of the hind legs and slight misalignment of the radius and ulna in one of his front legs where one of the bones was growing slightly longer than the other. At just eighteen months, he had an operation which, in effect, broke the ulna to enable it to fit more comfortably against the radius. The operation was very successful, but over the years, due to the bones not fitting together naturally, arthritis set in. As can be seen from one of my earlier reviews, we began taking Ben to canine hydrotherapy which, as with human ...
Advantages: Shop and advice all on one site Disadvantages: Not a place to shop for food
Having recently become the proud owner of a young puppy, I decided to check out a few new ideas in training. As my previous experiences were fifteen years ago - and longer - I thought it might be interesting to see what new methods were around and decided to browse the internet. One of the first sites I came across was Canine Concepts - www.canineconcepts.co.uk.
I must say that I could happily browse this site for hours as there is so much advice and information there. It is the idea of Patricia Hunter who is a full time dog behaviourist so it is not surprising that there are sections for behaviour advice which covers such problems as: aggression, barking, jumping up, chasing the postman and many more. There is also training advice on almost every aspect of training from the earliest puppy training to doing tricks ...
Advantages: Complete food full of all needed nutrients - many varieties to choose from Disadvantages: No variation in flavour, water is essential with dry food

RECCOMMENDATIONS
Online there is a lot of contradictory advice on whether to feed cats tinned / dry or complete.
People try and tell you that cats need a varied diet... Royal Canin do not think this is the case - however, every now and then I will treat my cat to a little tinned food or tuna. Tinned is best for hiding tablets!
My local pet shop reccommended Royal Canin above all others. They told me that it had the highest content of digestible product in it - and Royal Canin have done a lot of research into all of their products - they have been producing food since 1967. The shop even gave me a few free samples (which Royal Canin usually supply) so that I could see if my cat would like it or not.
When I took my cat for his first vaccinations ...
