@suzzanneeee... not to worry too much since you gave the injection. The side effect only appears on certain dog, and its quite rare *according to vet* personally I choose heartgard, or similar product, that need to be given monthly.

Sorry to be a buzz kill/part pooper/evil person but posts like this make me cringe. Also excuse me if i am at all blunt, but it is sometimes hard to candy coat things without losing the meaning behind it.
 
1. If you ever want to buy someone a pet as a present make really REALLY sure they want one and can deal with the time/financial requirements. Generally it is best to allow them to come with you to pick the pet to make sure they bond with him/her. Even if you think you know them better than you know yourself better to be safe than sorry when dealing with a living thing.

2. I know this is a present for your girlfriend, but generally if you are adopting a dog (epsecially a pure breed) there will most likely be a reason why they are up for adoption (skin problem/developed bad habits through bad training/other health problems/"not so cute") so do you really want to give that kind of issue to your girlfriend.

3. Is your girlfriend in a better financial situation than you are? If you can't afford to spend RM2000 on a pup, can she afford to spend the money required to responsibly keep the dog (Food, Heartworm medication, Shampoo, Toys, Grooming trips, Vet trips etc.).

4. Not wishing to pass judgment on your relationship here but sometimes people break up. In the (i'm sure very very small) chance that this happens, what will happen to the dog. If it is a bad break up will she grown to resent the dog and either loose interest in taking care of him/her or give him/her up for adoption again.

5. Its great that you put up info explaining the experience you have with dogs, especially poodles in particular. But occasionally walking and feeding a dog when the owner is busy is a very different thing to having a dog of your own.

Finally, I can't repeat enough how important it is to make sure you are getting a decently bred puppy. It may seem like a lot to spend now but it will save you 10x as much in the future. Not to mention the heartache you save from not having to watch your dog go through countless rounds of antibiotics/medicated shampoos/injections to counteract bad breeding practices leading to skin problems, allergies and in later life more severe issues leading to a shortened life expectancy.

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.

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.

suzanne, no need to waste ur breath jor...if someone is adamant in getting a dog, he will get it by hook or by crook...it might end up being a sick dog also...he did email MPC regarding this too...i replied him the way u guys did and then no response from him dy...

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).

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

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~

I am staying at damansara perdana condo wei. Not ttdi.

I was exactly the same as u. I just ignored wat my colleague advice me, some more in condo.the first month bill was a bomb to me but lucky me go a bit extra that time. Was suppose to get this pup for my mum back in hometown. My parents love him a lot but I am not willing to let go for now.

@divas revolution is d apply on. Very expensive. About RM30 per tube. Vet recommended use two days before and after shower to make it more effective as it is an expensive spot on. Will wait for ur tips ya.

@suzanne Are you refering to spot on (Frontline/Revolution)? How much does frontline cost. Revolution if used for long term would cost RM360 per year. lots of money. Hehe... Heartgard+frontline cheaper than revolution or revolution itself is a better option? Hehe... You know la, I want to buy other stuff for him and will overspent for him...

@huey80 I read this on the newspaper today. Sad case. I guess we need to look out for the big sized practising certificate of the vet.

@divas Thanks a lot for the tips on biting training. I read over my hp and will reread again on my pc later. Reply you in a while ya, I am in KB connection very slow.

@paige Take your time to settle down and come back here and visit us when you are free. Relax and cool down ya... Messi now know how to crawl, play dead and turn turn dy lor... hehehe....

hey there~do you get your pup 2day?? sorry for late reply, last night i sleep early ..not all of the shop provide medical report..if the seller is responsible enough, he/she will bring the doggie to vacci and check up b4 pass the doggie to buyer..that's why the pup have medical report..

Thx for d suggestion.. Anyway bought a shampoo recently.. But seem like not very good.. Any1 of u can suggest which shampoo can minimize the body odor of d dog?? Thx

me too..am using pet esthe brown shampoo
but the smell not that good
i bath my poodle occasionally with a cheap brand called frisian
the smell can lasts for 1 week plus is economical

I wouldn't recommend using a strongly perfumed (or long lasting perfumed) shampoo as it dries out the coat and damages the skin.
but if you use a good shampoo most of the time it shouldn't cause problems.

I agree that all brown specific shampoos smell really bad . I use a perfume after the shower to cover up the smell . The Percell one is REALLY good, works great on boys and girls.

I heard Pet Esthe is really good, but haven't been able to find the supplier for it as yet. Can you give me an idea of the price?
I use Chris Christensen range for pretty much everything as that is what i was taught with in school and i find it to work well for pretty much everything, but it is hard to get hold of and there are plenty of other decent shampoos out there.
As an extra thought... has anyone ever tried the Avoderm shampoo?

I have heard decent things about Yu and know of 1 grooming salon that uses it (or at least used to). But i haven't tried it myself... actually come to think of it i'm pretty sure i have some samples lying around the shop somewhere, perhaps i will do a test and get back to you sometime....
I generally follow the principle that if it smells strong and the smell lasts a long time (excluding medicate shampoos that stink anyway), it probably isn't that good for your dog's skin and coat.
If you want a lasting smell and don't like any of the perfume products, you can always try mixing in a strong conditioner to your shampoo (although be warned this will make the coat take much longer to dry... like A LOT longer), or get conditioning treatments done during your professional grooming sessions.

If u r using Pet Esthe colour restoration range, u shud get its colour conditioner to 'lock' the colour after shampooing.

Pet Esthe brand is all natural/environmentally frenly. U can even use the white shampoo on coloured dogs like shih tzu. It contains no bleach.

The SPA mud works magic for poodles with thick coat - detangles easily. It has given my poodle son less 'suffering' when brushing him after bath.

Help n advice needed. my poodle Jz now feel very warm.. When I hug her Dat time. She like keep layin down. But according to my mum. She played a lot in the evening. Will she get fever o getting too tired?? She Jz finish 2nd jab. Scare to brin her out to see vet..

But she seems like no energy wanna play.. Scare she got fever o Wat.. Any way to check on her??

yes, darn expensive. NOw i dont even hv to look at the 350ml ones - gotta go for the 3L groomer pack dy...LOL
