Typically, cheaper foods will result in larger and softer stools and higher quality foods will produce smaller, firmer stools. The better the quality of food the less of it you need to feed.

Nothing beats checking your dog over by hand each day – remove any ticks straight away and monitor your dog closely for signs of tick poisoning. Note that no product is guaranteed 100% effective. If you are in a known paralysis tick area or your dog is likely to come into contact with ticks (check with the clinic) use a suitable prevention program. Ticks can be a life-threatening problem all year round but particularly in the warmer months and especially after rain. All animals in the household must be treated for control to be effective (ALL dogs and cats). In Brisbane’s warm humid climate it can be very difficult to eradicate a flea burden in your house and yard – it is much better to keep them away in the first place. We recommend all pets are on year-round flea control. A large flea burden can cause anaemia, intense itching and secondary skin infections. Flea control is very important for small puppies.
