Dog Allergies and what you can do to make your dog more comfortableArchive for March, 2009
Soft Coated Wheaten Terrier
Today while I was at the pet store, sampling different dog foods, I met a wonderful dog, the Soft Coated
Wheaten Terrier.
This terriers is very soft of coat with a short upright tail. A rather large terrier, about 45 pounds and filled with love. This terrier is very good for people with allergies to dog dander.
This lovely and sweet dog is perfect in every way
But like most terriers, they do get allergies. Ear infections, yeast infections, itching and scratching. You have to careful what you feed most terriers. Like most pure bred dogs, inbreeding has doubled the chances of this dog be susceptable to allergies.
I got down on my knees to meet this wonderful Soft Coated Wheaten Terrier. She was sweet and loving and a wonderful mid size dog for people that are susceptable to allergies or have allergies.
If you don’t like the look or the clip on this terrier you can clip him differently. I don’t like the way the beard looks in the picture but the terrier I saw today had a more rounded clip around the face and she looked very cute with this cut. It’s your dog. Don’t be afraid with clipping your dog a little differently.
Today I visited the Vet & Was Apalled
I went to the Vet to buy some food because my dog has been losing weight and asked about getting a discount on their prescription dog food and asked for a prescription for the dog food so I could buy it on the web and was told that they could not give me a discount and had to purchase it through this particular vet.
They did not care how poor I was. I’ve spent at least 5K at this place and I know they mark up the dog food by 40% so I listened to him lie in my face saying that they had to sell it at that price. It was the agreement. I left. I then went to a pet shop that sells specialty dog foods (at half the price) and was told that California was the only state that charges $75.00 for a large bag of Hills prescription dog kibble. Other vets in other states are having a price war.
Another interesting fact was that some of the first Hills dog food kibble that was sold had as it’s main ingredient, peanut hulls, not peanuts but the hulls. And we wonder why our dogs are having more and more health problems and allergy symptoms.
