    @jengosmonkey - NuHeart only does Heartworm, Heartguard Plus has meds for roundworms & hookworm. And people that give heartworm for 6 months are typically people that live in climates that have a cold winter, ie: when the ground freezes. We do not have that in this part of No. California so I give it year round.

    Nope.... not in my opinion....not atypical. especially if these pups come for BYB or Millers.... That said, Giardia is not uncommon nor is a pup with a UTI.... In regards to Giardia, I wonder if these pups shown symptoms when still with the breeder?

    I like the FidoFleece coats - they velcro along the TOP there is a hole to hook the leash on the collar. All you have to do is set your basenji down on the 2 leg openings - pull both sides up and voila. I also have on that is fleese on one side and raincoat on the other side. I am lucky to have a large fenced area in my back yard so I don't have to worry about salt - I would rather walk myself but - the salt is just too daunting. If I want to walk - I'll find a snowmobile trail to walk on I can be pretty certain that there is not much salt there.

    Baths are never considered "fun" at our house either :eek: it's more like when they see me attaching the spray hose to the sink they make a run for it. So I don't leave the water on the whole time. I get them wet :treat: lather them up :treat: rinse them off :treat: towel dry :treat: and off they go! I also don't run the water on their faces..water in the ears is awful. I use a damp cloth to clean their heads from ears to muzzle.
