How will I cope? *Update*
Hi :wave: I normally post in the OS and Greenfingered boards, but haven't been on MSE at all for a week or so as it's been a bit of a rough time for us here. Our five-year-old dog was diagnosed with Osteosarcoma (bone cancer) back in September last year. We were told at the time, she'd be lucky to see Christmas, so she's…

Cheapest place for Bozita?
Running low on wet food, so going to try the cats on some Bozita. I know zooplus is great for big bulk orders but my cats can be quite fussy so not about to order a huge amount since they might not eat it.

Dog parks!
Good evening everyone! I was just wondering if any of you have a dog park in your area...if so do you use it? If you don't, would you? I am finding that the availability of enclosed spaces that are dog friendly are becoming increasingly hard to find round where I live with many open spaces being fenced off for future…

Wet Cat Food - Specific Needs!
Hi - I know wet cat food is often discussed on here, but I need to find another brand of food as our usual standby (hi-life perfection) is getting more and more difficult to find). My cat is 7yo+ (we think [rescue]) and currently only has his fangs and little corn-cob teeth. No molars and from what I understand a pretty…

How long for pet insurers to pay?
How long does it take for your pet insurance company to pay out after a claim has been submitted? I have had to put in three claims recently for the same problem and each time I am having to chase them up for payment, it is really annoying.

Freezing cat milk - Answer found.
Does anyone know if you can successfully freeze cat milk? My mog is a picky eater and not very food/treat orientated. He does like a bit of cat milk every now and then as a treat but not 2 or 3 days in a row so if I buy a bottle of cat milk, most of it ends up being thrown out as it's gone off before he's interested in…

Dog re-homing charities ... a bit OTT ??
We're on the lookout for a new dog, well not a puppy but a rescue dog. My partner & I have always taken rescue dogs over the last 25 years, since way back in the eighties we took in a skinny little waif of a mongrel one soggy November night in Glasgow. Sadly our fourth re-homer died suddenly a few weeks back, a Westie, she…

Tortoise equipment.....can this be moneysaving??
Hi, I was hoping that someone may have some experience in all things tortoise as I am adopting a poorly one who's elderly owners don't want him anymore. Things like the uv bulbs and lamp stands which seem to be £30 +. I was hoping there may be a way to get things cheaper? Thanks for any help. Becky
