I was born in the Summer a few years ago. Quite why I was born, I'll never know. Some folk who owned my mother, decided to breed.

My number one owners seemed friendly at first, And life was quite good till my bubble burst; They started to argue, their marriage split up; And in the AD: "For Sale - 4 months old pup".

From 31 October 2008, veterinary surgeons will again be allowed to charge animal owners for writing prescriptions, when a three-year ban on such fees will come to an end. The Supply of Relevant Veterinary Medicinal Products Order 2005 was introduced by the former Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) to implement recommendations from a 2003 Competition Commission inquiry into the supply of prescription-only veterinary medicines, which, among other things, found that prescription charges were against the public interest. It was hoped by the DTI that the move would benefit consumers by providing for pharmacies and other suppliers to have an opportunity to establish th…

There are a number of health problems with Siberian Huskies regarding the eyes, and these tend to run at a higher incidence level than hip dysplasia does. One of the most common eye problems that you will need to be concerned about in regard to the care of your Siberian Husky is cataracts. While the rate of cataracts in Siberians is fairly high, the good news is that typical cataracts do not generally affect the vision of your dog. However, there are some more aggressive forms of cataracts that can cause blindness by the time your dog is two or three years of age. Fortunately, this aggressive form is much less common than the more typical cataracts. Corneal dys…

Hip dysplasia is an inherited abnormality of the hip joint. It is not detectable at birth, but generally becomes apparent throughout the first two years of a dogs life. This disorder affects both male and female dogs at about the same rate of incidence, and the condition can range from mild to severe cases. This health problem can prevent your Siberian Husky from performing the usual functions that it was bred to do, as well as keeping your dog out of the ring if you compete in dog shows. It is very important that you are aware of this potential issue before purchasing your Siberian Husky pup. 87% of all dogs DIE way too early because of the food they are fed. Find o…
