Uruguay: reccomendations for veterinarian to clean dogs teeth?:

I have a very large dog..too large to go under anesthetic unless it is an emergency. My vet here in the US recommended raw carrots. Start slowly...just a slice as a treat. He now has a whole washed raw carrot a day, which he loves. His teeth are clean and also his coat and nails are much healthier. His breath is sweet. ..he also gets a raw marrow bone to gnaw on.

Uruguay: tri-lingual realtor:

We have used Margret both for buying our house in Pinares and also now to sell it. Her English, Spanish and German are perfect. She has lived In Uy for many years and is probably the most honest realtor in the country. Her service does not stop with your purchase and her contacts are all also honest, trustworthy and legal...she understands the system perfectly. I woukd totally recommend her.

Uruguay: doggies and the worms they get in UY:

Although I live mostly in the states, I have a house in UY in Pinares, so see the local dogs often...some street dogs some not. As a trained vet tech in US, i can tell you that heartworm is caused by mosquitos. ANY Mosquitos, not certain breeds. The mosquito bites the dog...and lays eggs in the bitten area...the larvae hatch and feed on the dogs blood...all they need is "water" until they are adult.....some of the eggs hatch and are carried into the dogs bloodstream and lodge in the heart, where they feed on the liquid to become adult larvae. They rob the blood of oxygen. The dog suffers from lack of oxygen and over about 10 months will die from diseased heart. The first signs are lack of energy and then heavy panting sessions. It can be treated but prevention is best. Mosquitos also cause worms and fleas cause hookworms....more debilitating than heartworm. If you love your dog...treat it...so many new meds on the market now will treat both. Fleas carry all sorts of bacteria which can transmit to humans. Heartworms not so common in humans. Treat the area around your home for mosquitos and avoid any standing water such as plant pots. Treating worms in dogs is painful and expensive. Better spend the money on prevention....it can be stretched to evry 35 days in summer and 45 in winter.

Uruguay: Best Recommended Car Rental:

We have used Elgoria in Maldonado, for many years...never had a problem and bought me out a new car when I left the lights on all night and deadened the battery. He also takes me to the bus station when I drop the car off. Florencia in the office speaks perfect english also.

Uruguay: Advice Please:

Hi While I do not live all year in Uruguay, I do spend many months there. My first question would be to ask if you speak Spanish. I have moved all over the world with children, and your daughter will learn, but you will need to be fairly proficient to deal with all the paperwork in UY.

Uruguay: Visiting Uruguay end of NOV:

if you are visiting, you would be welcome at any of the several expat meetings held in Motevideo, Atlantida, Punta, and other locations. search the web for Paradise Uriguay and also punta expats... lovely time of the year to visit
