Dog sick 7 hours after worming - need to repeat dose?
I wormed my 10 month old pug yesterday for the first time since I got him (10 weeks ago). I used Drontal plus and gave it to him with his dinner at 7pm. Afterwards he seemed fine, but at 1.30am I woke to him throwing up outside my bedroom door. He's full of beans now and I've just given him half of his usual breakfast to…

What are my options RE flea control?

She insured the cat at the beginning of his life (three years ago) and paying through direct debit this has rolled over ever since. When he died, she claimed for accidental death,…

Pay direct to vet insurers?
Which insurers pay the vet direct? I know PetPlan and Directline do, are there others? Do they all offer lifetime cover? I have found a local vet that is happy to take direct payments (for a small charge-not very MSE I know, but we don't have massive savings) for our Lurcher. I really have to get his insurance sorted…

who said cats were intelligent?
Had to share this! We have 2 cats, which use either of 2 litter trays, depending on which is cleanest. They are next to each other. So, this morning one is prefectly clean, the other is not, so I decide to completely empty it. When it is clean, I put it on the floor, whilst I go into the other room for the bag of litter.…
