Putting a kitten harness on ....
Help! Our little boy kitten is now 13 weeks old, he's just had his 2nd innoculation, and can now go outside, supervised, in our back garden. He won't be neutered until he's around 6 months, so we don't want him disappearing until at least then, but we don't expect him to be an indoors cat either. He doesn't wear a collar,…

2 dogs: Company for eachother or extra destruction?
We are very tentatively thinking about getting a puppy as I may be unable to work for a long period while I wait for a work permit. We would like a dog eventually and this seems like it would be a sensible time whilst I can stay at home with it and look after it whilst it settles in. Eventually it may be on its own for up…

Any French Bulldog owners?
Hi We have today taken on a 2 1/2 year old Frenchie - she is lovely. We have her papers and are waiting on the vets notes (in the post). I am convinced she is from a loving home who simply couldn't find the time for her (due to a change in circumstances). My family have had pugs, so I am used to this type of dog and the…

I've developed a product but need some opinions
I've spent a few months at the end of last year developing a product and then I left it due to some negative comments from a family member. I've decided to go back to the idea now and wondered if more unbiased people could give me their opinions. It's a product for aquariums - mainly terrapins. It also has uses for plant…

No Mess Cat Litter - Does It Exist?
I have five cats, and six litter trays. Used to use granules (non clumping) but they went everywhere. Changed to wood pellets. Fine to start with but when they get wet (all trays are cleared of solids and wet areas several times a day) they disintegrate and the powder gets walked everywhere. Does anyone know of a cat…

Please help - Separation Anxiety
Hi, really need some help and advice on our 9 month old Daschund. We've had him 2 months, we got him from a lady who was going back to work full time so wanted to find new owners.

*Update* Need to find a warm home and comfortable lap for 18 year old cat. Any ideas?
My family are in a really sad situation, in that my Grandmother desperately needs to go into a nursing home. A room has come up at a lovely home and she has to make a decision by friday. She is reluctant to go, mainly because she has a very old cat and since my Grandad died, he is her only full time company. Everyone in…

Becoming a dog walker?
For some time now I've been thinking about offering my services as a dog walker. I've been around dogs my whole life and currently have a great dane of my own. I understand that there are a few people locally who offer a service, and I would have to work extremely hard to compete with them at all. I'm guessing advertising…

Whenever I say (and it doesnt have to be loud or angry), 'get down' or 'what are you doing' to the…

Alternative to lampshade collar
Hi guys :) Our little man (16 month old Westie) was neutered today. We picked him and as he was starting to lick the wound, the nurse put a 'lampshade' collar on (which incidently was quite expensive - would have thought it would have been included in the price of the op?) As soon as we were in the car park he pulled it on…

Aggh my heart is breaking with my little dog following his attack. Any advice?
Guys You may remember me posting last week that Muttley, our little rescue dog got attacked by a Staffy. While his leg is healing well Im not sure the same can be said for the rest of him. He has gone from being the most loveable, pleasant little man to being withdrawn and a little snappy. Now when I say snappy he has…
