Pond'as Vroni

Do to a flaw in the design @ Blog.com, I will re-post this:

Vroni is expecting babes in the first half of August.

Quarter Man von den Kolibris is the Sire.

Both dogs are imported from Germany.

Papillon Weight Gain

Good nutrition is a must for our little companion, and it is vital to his health.

But do not show your love for him by giving him extra , and mostly unnecessary supplements.

Here are some common supplements:

Cottage cheese, cheese, milk, yogurt; all those things are high in fat for the most part, and diets high in fat will make your papillon gain weight.
Also: just like people, your Pap may overindulge on all those nice extras, and eat much more than normal..

Papillon Nail Clipping

It's a pain in the butt....and not easy.

Before you make an attempt, it's best to go either to a vet, or groomer to show you how to do this task.

If you have a Papillon with dark/black nails, then you really can't see the "quick", the part, where the blood vein stops. so you have to take a guess, barely clip of the top. You want to not clip too close to the quick, it pinches them badly, and you certainly do not want to get into the blood vein. It will bleed!! have your "Quick Stop" ready, available at pet shops. If you don't have Quick Stop, then flower is next best to stop the bleeding.

I use regular human toenail clippers on the Papis, and the smaller version, nail clippers for puppies. It works very well.

Also, when the time comes, that your dog must have it's teeth cleaned/scaled at the vets, make sure to request to cut the nails way down while under.
