vet problem

I agree the more input the better, however life isnt black and white is it?

[Scunner]

Janice it is BECAUSE life isn't black and white that people who turn up out of the blue with a slagging off for someone aren't usually worth listening to. One thing Turkey taught me is that someone's reputation has nothing to do with what they do or achieve, it has to do entirely with who you asked.

That's why I tend to listen to people who post about the good and the bad.

[Janice1971]

ok point taken, fair play!

I would also say that it is normal policy to remove first posts that are negatively targeting someone or somewhere - and experience does show in most cases that this is the best way. When attack is the motivation for a first post on a forum things generally don't end up well. However, this topic wasn't removed as the information is on the subject of pets and as a nation of pet loving ex-pats there, people can take it or leave it but at least it remains. My initial reply I stand by - there must have been helpful information in the last nine years that could have helped people - many members have nothing like nine years experience to draw on, and that is what we are here for...and why we are still here while the snake pit vicious, vendetta ridden forums are long gone.

Friends of mine used Ankavet recently for their 2 dogs and cat and gave rave reviews. On that basis another friend and I have booked our pets in for 3 days in February. I know that is a way away, but I will post my experience on here afterwards (and hope it is a positive as my other friend). I am not willing to cancel our booking just because of one comment, and i trust my other friends as they know how spoilt my cat is and how fussy I am!

I also have to say that we have used Ankavet for our dog several times now and have had never had a problem.

I also have used Ankavet and found him to be fantastic.

There are some dogs that just do not do very well in Kennels.

My friend has a Boarding Kennel in the UK, she says some dogs pine for their owners, so much so, that they refuse to eat for a few days.
Others are extremely nervous and soil themselves due to worry and stress.

If she has a problem dog that refuses to eat due to stress, she often cooks mince and chicken to encourage them to eat.
Also, she has a quiet area away from the main Kennel where these dogs can be kept a lot calmer.

She is always truthful and will inform the owners on their return if the dog has had difficulty settling.


I was just wondering if possibly these dogs just happened to be the kind that did not do so well in kennels and were upset by their unfamiliar surroundings, which had nothing to do with any bad treatment of the dogs.
