We went out the other day and bought our Sprocker pup that we are getting on the 8th of next month some cheapo toys
Any advice on toys for teething?
It's been a long time since we've had a pup so assume things have moved on from 10 years ago
We took our boy for his first groom this week and although he wasn’t matted yet the groomer told us we were using the wrong type of brush for him (we were advised to buy it from pets at home). We’ve ordered one like this and it’s so much easier already, we’re also going to give him liver paste in a tube to keep him still while the other sprays/brushes as the groomer used it and he wasn’t phased by her at all. She recommended we give him it and to make that the only time he gets it so he’ll be more tempted to behaveOur cockapoo gets matted SO easilywe shave/cut him at home as he had a bad experience with a dog groomer once (she was awful, cut him and made him bleed and he’s petrified since) but he’s getting really matted no matter what we do. Is there some miracle spray I’ve missed or anything? Or does anyone have any tips for grooming at home?
These are the best teething toys we’ve bought and they’re £2 from home store and more. He loves them and the quality is really good for the price, a lot of his teething toys have been destroyed but he can’t seem to put a dent in these onesWe went out the other day and bought our Sprocker pup that we are getting on the 8th of next month some cheapo toys

Frozen carrots and a sock with a knot tied in the middle, my litter of pups have not long left me 🥲 and all 4 favoured the socks over anything I bought.We went out the other day and bought our Sprocker pup that we are getting on the 8th of next month some cheapo toys

Yessss another vote for the sock with a knot tied in the middle. My dog is a total destroyer but this can keep him occupied for ages!Frozen carrots and a sock with a knot tied in the middle, my litter of pups have not long left me 🥲 and all 4 favoured the socks over anything I bought.
Thanks so much. Haven't bought any soft cuddlies. Mostly rope and squeaky toys.Rolled up tea towel knotted was a favourite here, frozen carrot, great for the baby raptor chomps. Ropes too and anything that squeaks.
My youngest dog is a total destroyer even the tough toys. Its the spaniel genes I put it down to haha. We dont buy 'soft' cuddlies as the stuffing is out before I can even turn my back
We got our pup less than 2 months after losing our treasured Cav and it was hard at times but it’s so good to have someone else to pour that love into (if that’s right for you, obvs for some it’s never long enough!) one thing I feel I just have to mention even though you’ve already had a dog and you’re probably well aware, is just watch with the rope especially when teething! When our first dog was little we had a really scary experience where she ended up with rope stuck in her throat so I just always feel the need to warn people.Thanks so much. Haven't bought any soft cuddlies. Mostly rope and squeaky toys.
He comes home 4 weeks today. We can't wait to just get him home now. The last 3 months have been so hard with our fur baby being so unwell and then dying.
We can't not have a Spaniel in our lives now though after our girl made us fall in love with them.
Just want to give him an amazing start in life and dote on him!
I’m so nosy but I’d love to know more about how this panned out. Does he interact with the dog now if you’re still living together?!I really struggled during the first year (as some of you guys may remember) - my partner decided he wasn’t a ‘dog’ person so we should give her up. I was literally living week by week and then decided to choose the dog over him as I pretty much single handily raised her for that first year. We still live together due to mortgage etc but I can’t help feeling that I missed out on so much of the ‘fun’ puppy stage because I was just so stressed about everything.
anyway , she’s my absolute world now and the best decision I ever made.
I have a sprocker! She was 1 last weekWe are going to visit our Sprocker pup for the second time today!
Have you had her checked for any bladder infections?I've posted in here before about our spaniel, she's a 19 month old show cocker and ever since the clocks went back her early morning starts have just gotten worse!
it's been the odd 4 am, sometimes it's 5, or after 6am. she used to get up for 6, do everything eat then backup for a couple of hours.
now it's go out for a wee, back up for a bit then back down for breakfast, then back up, we can't do the clock method as it's so in consistent 🥲 (if it was always 5 am then we'd push the time but it's not) she gets a good walks, mental stimulation, play time, sleep time (she is very FOMO and likes to be with you or on you) very food motivated. (we have switched from Ava to Millie's wolfheart)
but I guess if you need a wee, you need a wee.there have been times where she got up at 7 even 8! but she has always been like this as a pup, she never liked her crate , (even though we made it the best thing ever!) she had beds but doesn't use them (sleeps upstairs with my mum)
just wondering if anyone else is going through similar/any tips? 🥲
I agree. Something isn’t right. She should be sleeping through the night.Have you had her checked for any bladder infections?
We prescribe it very often at my work and my own dog was on it for a short while. Very commonly prescribed by behaviourists now and I’ve seen lots of success stories in patients at work.Has anyone's dog been prescribed fluoxetine?
