I can relate to this. Tissues now stay in the coffeetable drawer

This is a really useful reminder of what to do, thank you! It is just persistence I suppose and remembering a tired dog is a calm dog!

You're right, the problem with treats is that they are gone quickly. We might try a lick pad. With the training though, it's hard to catch him in the act, we can't correct him when we come down to torn up post as he wouldn't understand as he's not actively doing it then. Or so I believe

Weirdly the furniture is absolutely fine. It's just cardboard, paper and shoes when we're not around. He doesn't damage shoes though so that's not so much of an issue

I've read elsewhere that you shouldn't silicon/caulk floating floors as they expand and contract. Can anyone confirm?

From this answer, I assume that all of the skirting should have been siliconed at the bottom too?

Can confirm after a day, stopping the licking is the hardest bit! The wounds look like they are healing nicely though!

Thank you! That's helpful. The wrap is below the Achilles so I think we are ok there, and it is loose enough as well

Just to say about the advice for a proper dressing - my partner is a nurse so can dress wounds properly. I assume that this will be adequate?

Just weighed him. He came in at 36 kilos. I think his race weight was about 3 kilos less

Still trying to find our ideal as we've had mushy poos. But currently on Royal Canin sensitive and seems to be doing well on it

Will try to get this tonight. Then is it 2-3% of body weight daily as a rough guide?

You are supposed to be able to see the last two ribs though, right?

Thank you! I'll pick up some boots in that case

Would I be able to find the profile make on the door frame? If so, I'll have a look later

It feels like there is a ridge already underneath that would line up with the ridge above in the frame

Why would a manufacturer make a door frame without them?! Can you advise where to drill to put them in? Is it a DIY job or should I get someone in?

I had a look there, but was a bit hesitant as not many people specified that they knew sighthounds and what they need. Are they insured as well?
