If you don't want your dog to be shaved down, either make sure you brush her enough so she doesn't get matted, send her for grooming more often or pay your groomer to do dematting (where the mats are slowly teased apart one by one, professional groomers will charge per hour to do this so how much it will cost will depend on how bad the mats are) make sure your groomer is not using a 'dematting tool' to do this... it is like a huge rake and quite painful, they should be doing it manually with their hands, a brush, a comb and possibly some scissors if the mats are really bad. Once dematting is done, the coat should be even as if there were no mats at all, if there are huge chunks of coat missing, dematting was done incorrectly).

Also your dog will not be sad about having her coat shaved off, unless you are sad about it (or she had a bad experience at the groomer). If you act like there is nothing wrong or different, she will act the same).

How long the coat takes to grow back depends on what kind of food you feed, what shampoo you use, how well you maintain the coat, genetics and how long you want it to be...

Also aren't you just about to take your dog to Cameron Highlands? If she is naked i would strongly suggest picking up a warm jumper or 'jammies'' if you can find some so she doesn't get too cold up there .

Thanks Divas , so can u recommend me any supplement? Currently my furkid kibbles r Orijien, n shampoo I use 1 All System. It is ok? Or need to add on anything?

My new doggie coming back on this weekend.. =)
to all kor kor n jie jie here... is orijen or addiction better for pup?
she is 7 weeks now. izzit safe to come to new home now?

anything extra i need to take extra pre-caution?

Hi everyone,
I got a question here ,my toy when small the fur color is darker but why now bigger the fur color become lighter then before?

thanks

berry5788 : hi, my furkid oso ate orijien..so far she so healthy...i appreciate it. In my opinion normally the new puppy better take home after 8week lol...but depend la if healthy is ok.

I don't recommend supplementing dogs who are eating a good quality kibble. If you wish to have a truly superb coat you can give some Primrose or Omega oils (the Grizzly oil is supposed to be good), unless their food is fish based in which case the oils in the food should suffice. But other than that (unless you have a large breed requiring Glucosamine and Chondroitin) the food you feed should have everything your dog needs.

As far as shampoo goes, stay away from heavily scented/perfumed shampoos and those with alcohol in and you should be fine .

my pup's fur was light brown mixed with some white fur
am feeding go! natural salmon ever since i brought him home, which helps my pup's fur to turn darker
he is now with red brown fur
mybeau also helps his fur to be shiny

bought orijen pup today at Sea Park Pet supplies for RM58 (the cheapest so far). Should i give pure orijen only or mix wit other brand for 7 weeks old pup?

Will the protein level too high for the lil pup?

which brand ur puppies use now? if u change totally..may be hv diarrhea problem lel...must mix ur old kibbles. eh...1/4 first 2-3 days...1/2 after 3-6 days...like that. if no diarrhea then increase amt new kibbles. yalo..Orijien brand r high protein..even i'm oso give her other supplement too...haha. but everyday let my dog walk walk at the garden...exercise sikit lol

Added on November 24, 2010, 8:27 pmAccording to my vet doc tiny toy poodle needs much more attention and if they suddenly less active or not moving.
give them glucose abit to drink then will be alrite , thats what i heard from my vet doc

This post has been edited by paige.pc: Nov 24 2010, 08:27 PM

This is because tiny toy and teacup have a higher chance to 'faint' (due to dehydration or lack of energy) than larger dogs. The glucose will give them a boost and get them up on their feet again, but they will need to eat real food soon to prevent them from fainting again.
If your dog starts looking very sleepy for no reason or looks faint, you can mix up some strong glucose solution (basically as much glucose as can dissolve in about 1cc of water as possible) and syringe it into their mouth. If your dog has already fainted, you can carefully syringe it into their stomach but you have to be really careful you don't get it in the lungs (and then rush to the vet asap).
This is also what you need to do for premature/weak puppies if they lose too much energy between feeds and can't re-latch onto the nipple.

Don't worry too much though. As long as your tiny toy/teacup eats meals regularly they shouldn't faint. You can also use nutritional supplement (nutri-gel, nutri-cal, puppy paste) for if they ever decide not to eat a full meal and you are worried. These supplements basically just give extra protein (energy) and some good vitamins and minerals as well.

very good advise there hehe
