For those of you that have cement floors on their kennels, what do you use to clean the cement? I shovel and spray every day but after a couple of years the cement is pretty well stained up. Just wondering if the chemicals for cleaning cement that you can buy at Lowe's are safe to use, or if you all...

Thank you for the tips I will give them a try.

I have 3 beagles, 2 female, 1 male. The flies do not bother the male or 1 female but they are constantly on my other female. Is there anything I can give her or spray on her that will repel the flies? I even gave her a bath but the flies where all over her again a few hours later. I have even notice...

My female was bred last week and I was wondering if it is safe to get her rabies vaccination and to give her the yearly vaccinations also, the yearly I do myself and she is due for her yearly in Feb.

Thanks,

Bunny Runner,

I've been using Ivermectin for a few years now and saw your post about Pro Pam. Is it used as a preventative for the other types of worms? Do you use it once a month also? Where do you buy yours?

Thanks,

He looks like a beauty. Good luck with him.

I have 2 female Beagles that are kept together in a kennel that are pretty good hunters. A friend of mine has a male that he has wanted to breed with my females when they came into season. My question is that they both came into season together and he is bringing his male over in the morning. Is the...

I posted the other day that I was trying to breed my female beagle and the stud was not hitting the mark. Thank you for the replies. Well today I went out to assist. When he mounted her I just pulled her back leg foward and he finally hit the mark. He entered her and went like a jackrabbit for about...

I am trying to breed my female with a male that is just as tall as she is but he keeps missing the mark low. First day here she would turn and he mounts her but he misses just low. He is not the problem, I've bread him to another female but these two are missing the mark. Second day here and he seem...

Was wondering if anyone knows anything about a dog named Dickie Syndicate that won some championships in western PA in the late 60's and early 70's.

I have a litter of pups that I am planning on giving my own shots.
I was looking at the Jeffers Pet website and am overwhelmed by the number of different vaccines.
Specifically which 5 or 7 way vaccine do you all give your pups for their first shots?

What is the best method and age to start weaning the pups? The mother already doesn't want to be around them ne...

I am trying to breed my female and she started showing last Saturday. I waited for 1 week and got the male and put them together. She is ready for him but he will not mount her. All he does is lick her. She will turn for him, he will sniff and lick her then just walk away. He is 2 years old so age i...

I was giving my dogs Hartguard Plus once a month. I am now looking at changing to the Ivomec I've seen alot of posts about and have a few questions. Is this sold in paste form or is it a liquid for shots? Can it be given orally. Where do you all buy it? All I've seen is Ivomec for cattle. Is this wh...
