That's the first I heard that avocados are poisonous to dogs. Any chance you
remember WHERE you read this? Neither of my 2 boys are fruit or vegetable
lovers ( unless they are sautéed in olive oil and sprinkled with sea salt !)
and I spend endless hours disguising their raw healthy veg
Thought I responded to this to the group, but maybe not. It's not the
fruit that is poisonous. It's the seeds. Actually, they're poisonous to
people too. So as long as they're not chewing on the pits, they should
be fine.

Do you include the anticipated cost of xrays in the purchase price of the

xraying their dogs but very few actually do. I have considered adding a

Rose,
I don't believe it's that simple. IMHO It's not whether they can hold it at
a certain age but how long and how well can they hold it. For example, a 4
month old puppy can certainly hold it for 10 or 15 seconds while the owner
takes him outside. Both my Berner and my Swissy have

Hi John...I see you have both a Swissy and a Bernese. I have two Bernese, but someone
insisted the other day that I'd been misled and that my younger dog was definitely a

and wouldn't always look short-haired,
