Re: Building a dog 'toilet' area in the garden

Thanks. She's fine in herself. Very lively etc apart from a bit of a limp, but that's another story! Nutter. Worming not due for another 8 weeks or so.

She's definitely not solid, but it isn't runny either. Just very soft!

Re: Building a dog 'toilet' area in the garden

How do you do that though? Just keep changing? Surely every time you change the food you get soft poo as they adjust? Any advice?

Stools are soft?

Hello I got my new 15 month old Springer Spaniel just over a week ago. I have been feeding her on Skinners Duck & Rice. Her stools aren't runny as such, but they're not hard either. They are definitely on the soft and sloppy side (sorry for the graphic description!) I'm new to this game... shoul...

Re: Building a dog 'toilet' area in the garden

I've only had her for a week so I'm hoping her 'consistency' will settle?

Re: Building a dog 'toilet' area in the garden

I guess because her poo isn't that solid, you end up taking a large clump of grass with you when you pick it up! Plus, she likes to walk around while pooing, which increases the number of clumps of grass that need ripping up.

Building a dog 'toilet' area in the garden

Hi To save our lawn, I'm thinking of building a dog toilet area in the garden for our ESS. I was thinking of a 'sandpit' type thing, either filled with sand or something like pea gravel (http://www.wickes.co.uk/Wickes-Pea-Shingle-Jumbo-Bag/p/224555) Has anyone any experience of doing this? Any thoug...

Re: Aigle Parcours 2 Vario v ISO boots

How warm (I know very subjective) do you find them? I'm debating whether I'd get away with wearing ISOs in 'summer' in very wet weather when walking the hound, or whether I'd be too hot and would be better getting some more versatile normal Varios and just adding thicker socks as needed.

Aigle Parcours 2 Vario v ISO boots

Hi Am trying to decide between the Aigle Parcours 2 Vario and ISO boots. I want a pair that I can use in poor conditions all year round, so I'm concerned that the ISO might be too warm. At the same time though I don't want to end up with cold feet by buying the Vario! Has anyone any experience of ho...

Re: Budget transit box

Hi, thanks for taking the time to post these pics. I think I'll leave it - it's a bit big for my needs. Hope someone else is interested.

Cheers again,
