  • Network for Animals & Galgos del Sur – saving 32 Cordoba hunting hounds

    From Network for Animals

    The shockingly cruel treatment of Spanish greyhounds (Galgos) must be stopped in Spain. Will you stand with us today?

    The sport hunting industry is full of cruel practices and a callous disregard for animal welfare.

    We offer a glimmer of hope and relief to these terrified, injured and stressed animals.
    32 hunting dogs were rescued from a nightmarish existence in a decrepit farmhouse. Many others like them desperately need your help. Chained, starving, and wounded, they have endured unspeakable suffering in appalling conditions.

    We’re partnering with Galgos de Sur, a dedicated organization committed to confiscating, protecting, rehabilitating, and finding good forever homes for these abused hunting dogs. We are asking for your compassion today. Please support our crucial mission and help us end this disgraceful behaviour.

  • Probiotics and dogs

    We recently returned from a few days away in our caravan and took the 2 podencos with us, for the first time. A week before Bo had asmall cancerous lump removed and had been on antibiotics which gave him diahorea, so a chicken and rice diet was prescribed. However, after returning home to familiar territory his poo is brown/yellow and gooey. Research on the Internet has resulted in the suggestion to add some probiotics to his diet.

    This weblink explains about the use of probiotics.

    Have any of you use probiotics and, if so, was it successful?
