Spaying and first heat

Spaying and first heat

When did you get your WFT puppy spayed, and if you waited, when was her first heat? Miss Pixi is almost 6mo now.

We hope/plan to wait until our girl is around a year old to spay, and are looking into hormone sparing…still deciding, though.

Sleeping with puppy?

How old was your puppy when you started to let it sleep on your bed? (If you’re okay with that. ) Miss Pixi likes to sneak in around the pillows these days…

Too sweet

Our Sweet Miss Pixi is just too cute, and I had to share this quick video….

She’s almost 6 months old and just a joy, now that teething is all done!

Finally!

Sweet Miss Pixi has lost all of her baby shark teeth, and is growing a beautiful set of Big Girl teeth! The wounds on my hands and arms can finally heal 🩹😄🩹

Our previous WFT, Mr Sprocket, swallowed all but one of his. This girl spat them all out 😂🦷

We have a lovely little 15-week old Wire Fox Terrier girl. We live on a half-acre lot in BC, Canada. We have the beginnings of a flea problem, and I really don’t want to use those nasty chemicals on a tiny pup.

I follow a few holistic vets online: Dr Judy Morgan, Dr Peter Dobias, Dr Karen Becker, Dr Andrew Jones. They often recommend food supplements and natural sprays, or those ultrasonic tags. (I was consulting with a holistic vet locally, but she’s unavailable due to illness. I swear her help and advice is what enabled our previous WFT to live to over 17.)

Has anyone had luck with the holistic remedies? Right now we’re using a repellent spray with Neem oil. She gets combed daily (1-3x) and bathed every few days, and I’ve done a lot of laundry and vacuuming!
