Mountaineer Mastiffs

May 8th, 2007

Hi everyone,
Sorry I haven't posted much on the site lately. Life's been busy as usual. Still working hard on my physical rehabilitation since the leg injury. I hope everyone is still paying attention to the pet food recalls. They are still adding new foods.

Also if you haven't noticed this yourself already this is going to be a BAD year for ticks. I've seen a high number of them for early May, so I predict this will be a bad year. So feed your dogs well, include a nice garlic powder in their food, and if you are still seeing fleas and ticks then I recommend Frontline. Remember, when using Frontline on larger dogs like mastiffs, you will have better results if you put half of the dose between their shoulder blades, and the other half between the hip bones (above the base of the tail). If you have recently bathed your dog, wait 3 days before applying Frontline. Frontline uses the natural skin oils to spread across the body, and it won't work as well if you apply it immediately following a bath. So if your dog needs a bath, bathe, then apply Frontline in 3 days.
