clap clap clap... Very true... Shit, i couldn't afford heartguard. Can somebody sponsor me? Suzanne, please.... Chris please....

Just want to ask, how many type of heartguard are there in the market? Only one type right? Need to start buying for next month. He will still be on revolution in 2 days time. Last revolution for him.

Divas, you are a great counsellor. All your post will not be only 1 line or 2 lines but many many lines all around pets wonderland. You should be a moderator for LYN Pets Wonderland. Clap clap clap to you.

thanks

Saying like this shows you are so irresponsible to your dog eh ..

anyway, there are several brand for heartworm prevention, heartgard is the product name itself, a more common one. You can get one pack around RM60, which last a dog for 6 months. Which means, its only RM10 per month, please don't say you couldn't afford, if you do, I'm worried for your dog health being in the future ..

the other brand that I knew is Heartz, ProHeartz (tablet), Interceptor, etc... all gives heartworm prevention, and some includes deworming...

aiks.... u totally got me wrong... I was just joking lei... Most of them know I am willing to spend for my dog la... The first line was refering to divas comment on cost of maintaining dogs. My pups is on last revolution this week and will start on heartgard next month.

FYI, I have spent about RM1k on my dogs over the past 2 months eh. vet bills, toys and other equipment. Hehe... Thanks ya...

that's good to hear,

@yeowa - If you don't mind me asking... why are you switching from Revoltion to heartguard?

Also thanks for your kind words but really not necessary, i find out a lot of info about all areas of pets through my job (and my own pets/research for them at home). Knowledge is made to be shared so i share it .

@huey80 - I kinda disagree with you. Well i agree that people who are set on getting a dog/pet won't listen, but it is still worth saying as perhaps someone else who was considering getting a pet for the wrong reasons/wrong place/whatever will read it and learn something new.

Hi divas, my pups got mites problem a month after I brought him back. Vet recommended revolution which also covers heartworm. after third jab, I only learnt that heartworm is a monthly thing and vet ask to give heartgard but advised to use the revolution first.

well, it works both ways..if u dont mind repeating, then it's ok. i admire u for being repetitive and taking effort to open polls on 'cheaper cheaper cheaper' etc. Not many will hv a rational mind even after reading all our advice. They will never know whats in store for them in rearing a dog until they HAVE a dog. So to them, we r just bullshitting. Unless there r those who r mature enuf and know how to analyse things for themselves - that know how to weigh the pros n cons of having a dog.

And becoz most if not all ur replies are lengthy with almost no grammatical mistakes, it does pose a challenge for some ppl who r not proficient in the language to really understand what u r trying to say. Google translations dont help much.

guys, how to train your pups not to bite you? I know messi have an itchy teeth, his bites will not injured me but if this becomes a habit, his bite might injured my fingers or hands at a later stage. He is very aggresive when comes to biting. Last night while playing with him, my wrist got scratched by his sharp teeth.

Damn, he is learning to bark(like adult dog) yesterday. He barked two times at two different hour. I have to warn him no as we are staying in a condominium.

Guys, my bibi just gave birth to 3 little puppies. Can i know where can I find a good vet around Kepong area to have their tails docked and also to remove their dewclaws ?

@yeowa - isn't revolution a spot on product not a jab? also if you switch to hearguard keep an eye out for ticks and fleas and get advantix or frontline if you see any.
Also i'll pm you good training tips for biters tomorrow.

@huey80 - I have worried that sometimes my message doesn't get across because of my language. But i don't mind repeating and repeating and taking abuse and repeating. Seeing just 1 person become better informed and make better decisions about their pet makes it worth it.

@mudz - If your dog has already given birth (or even at the age where it is safe for them to do so) you should already have a vet that you trust and can rely on. Did you not have an emergency contact for during whelping? how did you know how many puppies you were expecting?
Too late for all that now i guess.... look on the vet thread will give most of the vets in most areas. If you are around Subang area, i would recommend Healing rooms or St Angels.
I would also strongly recommend reading (at least) THIS site. Obviously skip all the prenatal and whelping stuff, the weekly lists of things to look out for as well as things to be doing is very complete and can guide anyone though raising puppies responsibly.
Good luck with the pups and get mum and pups to a vet asap (should be within 24hours of whelping if you aren't sure of the number of pups you were expecting) to get everything checked out. If you need any more info on raising the pups pm me and i will try to find a guide i wrote a while back for you .

Harlo, I think got a few la I got ask if the eating one is better or the injection, Miki took once she was fine and the one in Malaysia is pretty safe so for forgetful minds like me I opt for jab RM120+ also same price for a year.

Yup tried telling a lot of them before I think in this forum, hardly any of them listen, they're really determined to get one. I can tell because I'm once like that I want means I want, when I got Miki I thought everything is gonna work perfectly until I reliase taking care of a dog is really not easy at all.
But glad that I never gave up and I really learned a lot, it is her that's teaching me how to be responsible instead. Like above mentioned You need to HAVE one to know the situation.

Not to look down But seriously if RM200 also cannot pay I have no idea how ru gonna rare that dog.

Hahahha your turn now veliii good No la itchy teeth only, just tell him NO biting is not allowed or give him some good chew toys, greenies maybe? . I used to cage she's same like your situation now, very aggressive goes crazy when I let her out bite my baju all got hole, my hands also scratches after that start to give her freedom then slowly she stopped everything. Now not interested in shoes/carpet already.

Condo ... HAahaha good luck loh, eh which condo TTDI you're at already? I got a friend who smuggle the dog to stay inside also. But as long as not too noisy.

Hahaha correct ppl won't simply give away, I just met a neighbor, gave away Schnauzer reason too noisy barks too much
gave away pug - eats his own shit and pill cost too much
Now left with teacup poodle, starting live in house then currently living outside the yard cos at home got baby. She's a cute one but quite pity, so cold at night and really tiny I'm worried if anyone will steal or can get sick. I would adopt if one day they cannot afford to take care.

A TEACUP POODLE living in the YARD??? These idiots hv no idea how many ppl so wish to hv a teacup size but cudnt and here they have one who is living outdoors..WTH...Dont BS me with the excuse of having a baby then dogs r not allowed inside the house. When Sera kicks miloboy, i slap her face.

Suzanne, u fast fast pray very very hard that they will let u adopt the poor little fella.

That's quite crazy. I really hope they come to their senses soon and let her back in, or at least let you adopt her (or find someone else who wants).

Right, I'm walking Miki every weekday evening purposely passby to see how's the lil fellor doing she's now 1 years 3 months but she's only like 6-7" of height and she's a Red one, carried her that day I knew the owner never bath her for at least 1 week plus to 2 week, she's filled with urine smell all around. I feel damn heartache and kesian T.T Adorable and like to stick to ppl, how can they treat her like that. Btw she paid 3k for her MKA got bloodline, leave in the yard?! Having baby doesn't mean you can ignore your once beloved pet, sad nya.


They will never let her back in again, that's what she said not in day time, night or whatever circumstances baby comes first wor. Thou my neighborhood got security but still that's such a small one, how I wish she can let me keep and I'll make sure I give her a very good life and whatever she deserve. I will definitely bath her every week, nowonder all the previous dog got sick etc. Sigh, I feel so sad about her now, but what can I do?

ask them directly if they wanna give away... no harm in asking

Hahahha good idea let me get closer to her first, then I shall joke as a friend and ask if they have any plans

or just tell her straight out that you are worried about her dog. Tell her that teacup dogs are extremely fragile and that if she doesn't have space in her home any more due to the baby that you will be happy to take care of her.

very disappointing with that kind of ppl~i would advise that kind of ppl not to have any dog or pet~
we should think twice before getting a pet because we have the responsibilities to keep them save and love them through out their life~
why cannot keep dog inside because they have a baby!! my friend also let their dog inside when they got baby~they not only have one dog..they have two dog.they also let their baby play with the doggie..what is the problem when letting your dog inside the house when you have baby..scare the dog will have disease???!!!
if they really scare then let other people adopt the doggie, dun let them suffer..

Suzanne, go and ask them to let u adopt..support you~
