A few months ago, my wife and I started worrying about a dog of ours. She was old and fat — about 11-years-old and a solid 20 pounds overweight (that’s not good for a Labrador/dachshund mix). The old girl just kind of lounged around the house and had gotten …

I bought this deworming solution because the shop had run out of deworming tablets. The shop proprietor, himself a proud owner/breeder of dogs, recommended it as a cost-effective alternative. I wasn’t too fond of the idea of trying a product that I hadn’t heard of before on …

The Pyranees ccame …
