Ran into a friend down the street today that was wondering what to do about her dogs eyes as she suspected the dog may have a mild case of conjunctivitis. I was able to tell her to wash the dogs eyes out with camomile tea for the next few days and see if that helps. I advised to see vet if she didnt see any improvement. A rough guide as to what i would do...

How to make up solution:
 hot water and pop the camomile tea bag in. Let cool to room temperature.

For the first couple of days i would try to flush dog / horse / etc. eyes out 3 times a day using a dropper.
 If no improvement go see the vet.
If you do notice an improvement back off to 2 rinses for the next couple of days then 1 rinse for the following couple of days.
By this time you should have flushed the infection out.

Its worked for me many times in the past with my fur babies.  I have also used it on myself successfully.

Thought this was a handy tip to share :)

Greyhounds make great pets!

Since 2012 it seems that 90% of my business is making coats to fit those tricky shaped dogs such as Greyhounds, Whippets, dachshunds etc. Which has put me in contact with some fantastic people and organizations. Please visit these websites and get behind re homing some great dogs....

Pregnant again

22/01/2014

Been a very long time since my last blog. Monique (now 15months and keeping me on my toes, my husband Courtney, the border collies and i have had a great time down Torquay at the beach over christmas break. Im now back home and ready for orders. I must also inform everyone that i am pregnant again and expecting in May. It is because of this i ask anyone interested in having a coat made this season to please place the order ASAP. Although pregnancy is going well so far i may be a little too tired chasing a toddler around closer to the pregnancy and may not be excepting orders. If i do decide to not except orders i will have it very clearly advertised on the front page of the website, so unless you see otherwise i am all hands on deck!

Hope everyone had a great christmas and new years. Lets hope 2014 is a good one!
