Hi Peggy - I honestly didn't have an issue with the crate's odor. Perhaps for a short while after unpacking it, but after airing out I can't say the odor was noticeable. For us it was all about the durability and not holding up for more than a few hours. Good news is we were able to return it easily.

Doesn't stink from what? From the manufacturer? From the dog's dander and trackings? This crate is fabulous. After our crate spent a day in the home of heavy smokers, an afternoon on the outside deck freshened it right up, if you're concern is that it might retain bad odors. I'm not familiar with Aussies, but I can honestly say that this crate only smells as bad as the dog who occupies it.

I was also concerned about the smell other posters said. Mine did not have any smell to it and I talked to a friend that got hers before mine and she said hers did not haveany smell to it. I have a very active Lab and we used a metal crate first. Then switched to this one.

When I removed it from the packing materials it had a faint odor but airing out it was fine. My Chinese Crested had no issue with the smell. She isn't overly active but she does climb over the top when we have the top open at shows and it has held up well. She isn't a chewer but likes to scratch on the sides to let us know it's time to go out and it hasn't torn. Don't know if this helps. It is very portable and easy to set up. I did put the pad in the bottom as Sugar would be in it for several hours a day at the shows.

I have an Aussie and two Border Collies that are working dogs on my small farm. That means dirt, manure and mud gets tracked into their soft crates. I use a washable crate pad inside that catches most of the dirt as it dries and falls off the dog. I wash my Noz2Noz crates with a car type power hose on low setting then rinse with a mixture of any kennel antiseptic and air dry. I've had my Noz2Noz crates for five years and they are still in great condition and don't smell.

Depends on how much your Aussie weighs. & how big the crate is. I believe the crate I bought is for up to 65 lbs. you may need one a little larger because your Aussie is active. Although these crates are soft, they are extremely durable & should support your dog comfortably.

I have this crate and it did not stink at all. You could just smell the new plastic smell when you first opened it. Mine does not smell at all.

Did you buy these and did they work for your Golden? I have a GSP with this issue, using the Help Em Up Harness as well and ordering the Back on Track products as well. Using other therapies and hoping for a turn around. It's been a real challenge. Mine went lame on 6.16.14 from disc issues and was dragging hind paws initially. Hope you've seen your Vet or one who specializes in this area. I live in Dallas, TX and Dr Barton at Heal Vet does a lot of therapy for dogs with these issues, she is very kind and busy. Dr Giggleman here also does Vet Chiropractic, he is very gentle. Never allow your dog to get Chiro under anesthesia however. Did you buy these and did they work for your Golden?

I just received my Yolife yesterday and made my first soy yogurt using the Silk brand of soy milk. It turned out fine! Not as firm as store brands, but not runny either. Next time I'll try adding something like agar or gelatin to firm it up a bit just to see what happens, and then move on to experimenting with coconut and almond milks. I love my Yolife! It's hard to find nondairy yogurt where I live, but now the search is over.

I prefer the Key-E Vit E Suppositories in the yellow box. They seem to be more effective & soothing for me. That doesn't mean that they are not as good or better, they just are not better or the same for me.

David, I think the question is "what are you looking for in a fish oil?" Krill is the best for you and the important issue for me when I purchased this product was that it was 100% Antarctic Krill and that the product has phosphollpids for the cell membrane and Astaxanthin which is important for energy transfer and oxidation protection (aging). I did not want any additives and don't think a USP seal really makes a difference since we take so many herbal supplements that don't have the seal. I think you have to select what you are comfortable with. I found that there was no after taste or burping problem and that this band did not give me an upset stomach as some others.

I used to buy my coolpads for my dog and body cooler.com but they are no longer in business and I can't find the same pads ANYWHERE. that being said, I'm on the hunt. One thing I found that I'm thinking of getting for my pomeranian when I take him out is a little portable misting fan that you can clip on - along with a cool pad of some sort. the fan is a little pricey but worth it to know my dog is staying cool in florida so he can get out and about with me while I run errands. just look up misting fan or or personal coolers on sharper image... just under $80 bucks. yikes... I know.

Sharp ceramic blades and cool lube will help the most. Clean coat does, also. I have Westies. I always bathe first,blow dry and comb out before I groom them.

Oh, really?! Mine isn't scratchy to me at all. I mean, it IS faux. It's not going to be anywhere near the kind of softness of real mink. This is really subjective, of course, but on a scale of 1-10 of softness, hmmm, I guess maybe I would give it a 7 or thereabouts. It's so hard to rate. As far as shedding, I've had absolutely no shedding. I think I read a review or two of people who had ordered this item before I did and they said there was some shedding. I just didn't experience any of that. I've had mine now for over a year I think and it's like brand new, no shedding and I just adore it. Hope that helps. :) Oh, really?!

I have not used this shampoo yet, but my Yorkie-Poos were on Atopica with minimal results, so I was told by a friend to try Nzymes, from nzymes.com, for their allergies and yeast. Just ordered it today, and on their site, it recommended this shampoo, along with several other shampoos. I have spent so much money at the vets, with no results. Really hopeful Nzymes will work. Go check them out on their website.

My aussie like to move, but HATES other doggies..when we encounter one I just pedal a bit faster so he HAS to pay attention to where were going..it seems like my bike never budges when he does try to lunge. I was using just his leash to bike walk him before and it was scarey when he would lunge ..I was afraid I woul go over. The center of gravity helps with this walky dog and I am hands free to keep us going..hope this helps !

I just bought some for my pup and opened it up and tried a kibble. I have been a vegetarian all my life, but the ingredients looked so good I figured I should try it. It smells like fish and chicken and veggies - not so much kibble. She seems to think it's better than meat sticks :)

Buy for small breeds & you get a nice size kibble. Mine are Chinese Pugs & they like it. If your dog is not real active you might want the basic formula. The Wilderness is packed for an active life style.

To my knowledge quite similar. Non-greasy and not foul by any means! Again I got acquainted with the product in Australia!

I think they are both the same. I have a mini aussie and a aussie-poo and they like it. I mix it in with the Wellness core wet food and they really chow it down!

Dear Ms.In my opinion Pro EMU oil seems to have provided all the benefits the Ultra active is touted to do !! ...however ,that said I have to say the ultra absorbs for some reason faster facially ! And a little less greasy on the face ! ....on the rest of the body PRO feels very silky !....so it could be just me !

Can't hurt to try. Get the vegital body splash also by pinaud. Works great as a whole body splash and aftershave. That should do the trick.
