what action can I take to help stop trade in dog meat?
Hi, I've just read a terribly distressing advert in the press today by the International Wildlife Coalition Trust seeking support to help end the horrific trade in dog meat in the Phillipines. I simply can't get the awful images and report out of my mind. My first reaction is to pick up the phone and donate but I have…

Feliway - successes?
Afternoon All, I bought a feliway dispenser for my cat, Geni, who has become nervous of strangers. I think this is because i mainly live by myself. It's day 3 of the feliway and i have noticed such a difference in her demeaner. She seems much calmer and friendly toward me even, less miaowing all the time and following me…

Parvo Virus Hits Wiltshire
Was watching the news and heard about the parvo virus hitting Swindon. For those people who live in Swindon or are planning to visit, apparently Sevenfields is a no-go area for dog walkers and the council are supposed to be putting signs up around Sevenfields informing dog walkers of the outbreak. I known Parvo virus is…

Indoor Cat?
Hi I'm looking into getting a cat, I'd love one, from being tiny I'd had a cat in the family. However growing up I lived in the countryside and our cats had always been in and out of the house as they pleased. There would always be a little 'present' or 2 left on the door step! :D Now though I live in a flat near the city…

dog chasing other dogs to protect the !!!!!?
I am looking after 2 dogs while the owners are away. The dog a german shepherd was always a great dog, very intelligent and never a problem. The owners decided to get a female but I think she was the worst of the litter, none too bright and nervy. When the dogs are walked she likes to go up to other dogs but as soon as…

Hi I know you guys are going to get sick of me posting about my cats, but another disaster has struck. I'm sick with worry now. One of the cats I have taken on went in to be spayed yesterday.

Border-Collie
We have been toying with the idea of getting a family pet for a while. We have never had a dog in our family (me and DH,DDs 12 and 15), but both me and DH had dogs when we were 'at home'. Looking at the moment at Border Collies, and would look for a rescue dog. Doing our homework and trying to fully consider the impact…

Finding a reputable petsitter at short notice?
Mutt has hurt her foot and it's not healing, so it's looking increasingly unlikely that she'll be able to go into kennels and I'm meant to be going abroad in 3 weeks time for a fortnight. She can't go for walks and has to stay off hard surfaces, and the kennels I use have hard floors so they're easier to wash down. And…

Does anyone know why my bunny growls at me?!

Sources for raw cat food and inexpensive but good electric grinder
My cat is 15 years old and has been eating raw for about 3 months now. So far, I have been making it myself from chicken thighs, liver and a little breast meat and either Instincts TC or Alnutrin powders. Her teeth are not too great as she has been on wet food only for at least 7 years as any dry crunchy stuff sets off an…

Dog licking his paw (again)
My dog has started licking his paw again. The last time this happened (a few months ago) I rushed him to the vet who suspected a grass seed was in there. She operated on his paw -but couldn't find a grass seed. I felt bad that I had rushed him straight into the vet and agreed on surgery when he didn't benefit. Now he is…

Problem with people who gave me their pedigree cat
I rehomed a pedigree cat - she is in very good health and has settled in like she's always lived here. Even sleeping at the bottom of my bed. I know she has excellent pedigree and made a few enquiries on line today and spoke to the Cat Society today and they confirmed that she is registered but would not give me her…
