Getting a pup-experience of having pups and any Beagle owners?
I'm looking into getting a Beagle pup as a companion for me,a friend for ds and to be trained to 'work' with ds in a sense (severe autism and you can train dogs to be a little assistant with this). Due to needing to ensure as much as possible that the dog will take to ds and the training etc it has to be a pup really! Any…

Flea trouble
Has anyone else out there found that Frontline doesnt work on cats anymore? Its not worked the last few times I've used it. I now find that Stronghold is the only thing which works on flea control on cats.

Cat/kitten interaction
Help needed, please, on identifying whether my kitten and cat are playing or fighting! Kitten has only been here 2 and a half weeks, and after a gradual introduction I now let them "interact" for short periods, separating them overnight, when I'm out, or when I think they've had enough. I've confused by their behaviour,…

Myxi Jab Cost?
I had my mini lop vaccinated for this today, he will need it every 6 months as we are in a high risk area.It cost £25.00 + vat this seems a lot to me as the dogs were £27.00 each for their boosters which I would have thought cost a lot more.(Cost me over £110.00 with one thing another at the vet today) How much to you…

Max barks. A lot!
And I know that dogs do that; and it's fine with me but what worries me is that it must be a territorial thing that is stressing him out because he barks at everyone walking past but he didn't do it all before and it is gradually getting worse. I think it must upset him. It is now stretching to the point that if a strange…

Best food/diet for a German Shepherd
Hi everyone, I've been looking over the forum and I know that a lot of people ask advice about which food/diet is best for their dog, I can't seem to find one relating to German Shepherds though so thought I would ask rather than take the advice given for other breeds. For a bit of background our German Shepherd is now 9…

My greedy but very fussy cat!
Our cat is driving us nuts!! She's about 20 months now and very much a "hunter". We have a constant stream of dead bodies, and she's a very active little madam. She's not big built and there's not an ounce of fat on her! As she's so active, she's also very hungry but she's so fussy!! We've been feeding her pouches and some…

Parvo jab for dogs
I was watching the local news last night and it mentioned that in Swindon there is an outbreak of Parvo and that 5 dogs have died after contracting this within a short space of time. I naively thought that the standard yearly jabs that the vet gives our dog covers him for this, but the news article mentioned that this is…

Rehoming a dog - bad etiquette?
Hello DH and I have decided to rehome a dog and so far have registered with Dogs Trust. Is it bad etiquette to register elsewhere too (i.e. Battersea/RSPCA etc)? I mean, if Dogs Trust are working to find us a suitable dog is it a waste of their charitable funds if we find one elsewhere? Thanks xDx

Allergic - but only at night?
Hi, not sure if anyone can offer any words of wisdom but here goes! I have 2 cats, and I was wondering whether it's possible to only have animal allergy type symptoms during the night? My toddler is fine during the day, but for the last few months he's been sniffing/sneezing etc during the night and I don't know whether he…

Quirky pet habits....
my 21 year old cat has recently started a new habit. When i'm sitting on the sofa and using my laptop she will come and lie with her front paws on my shoulder and her bottom end on the back cushion. This has only started in the last few months. Have your pets started a new habit?

Cats + fishpond
Our neighbours' cats often have loud fights in our garden at all times of day and night. They leave clumps of fur everywhere. We chase them off whenever we see them. This afternoon they were fighting again and both ended up in our fishpond. We have sturdy metal mesh over the pond, but the weight of the two scrapping cats…
