All about dogs - dog breeds, dog training and behavior, news affecting dog owners or handlers, puppy pics, etc.

Rules (Will be refined later on).

  1. Don't be a dick. This should cover most things, just keep in mind that everyone started somewhere and try to be helpful rather than rude or judgmental.

  2. No personal attacks based on training style or tools.
    Discussion of balanced training including proper use of aversives is allowed here.

  3. All breeds and mixes are welcome. You can criticize backyard breeding practices but don't pile on people because they own a specific breed or prefer purebreds or mixed breeds.

  4. Do not support backyard breeders or puppy mills. Please do not link to or suggest buying from high volume breeders or those with an obvious lack of standards and testing.

  5. Do not help or support fake service animals. Please do not encourage people to buy fake service dog vest or ESA letters to get around rental or other restrictions & do not give advice on how to misrepresent a dog as a service or support animal.

We have to get two tablets, because there is not one large enough for his weight.

He also takes sentinel, which he now does as yearly injections, which helps cover the heartworm prevention. I may have found an alternative source for the Bravecto that is discounted about 40%, but I'll have to wait a few months now to try it out.

I'm mostly just annoyed that the distributors of Bravecto seem to be charging roughly the same amount per animal, regardless of weight. Excepting, of course, instances like mine, where I'm forced to buy a second tablet due to their limited range of available doses. Lucky me, paying double simply for having a large dog.
