Friend won't see me because she suspects I have dog mites!
She is obviously infactuated with me! Seriously, is there anything I can do to allay her fears, it is like flogging a dead horse :wall::wall::wall: but I know so few people nowadays you try and make the most of your long standing friends. Story is that I have been looking after a friends dogs one of whom seems to have a…

Tag on a dog and details to put on it?
We have just come back from pets at home where it had a notice up saying that it was law for dogs in public to have a name tag on? So, worried, we bought one and then deliberated for ages at the machine as to what details to put on. I said that I thought I had read that owners were advised to just put the dogs surname on…

poorly dog
Son & DiL have a french bulldog, 3 yrs old. about a month ago he had a kind of seizure- shaking, vacant eyes, They took him to the emergency vet who gave him a couple of injections, put a fan on him and observed him for an hour. Charged £150, but they were worried, so felt it was justified. They didn't know what had caused…

Has anyone used a 'Comfy Collar' instead of a Buster?
I have seen these: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Comfy-Collar-Scratch-42-55cm-Large/dp/B003XLGX8G/ref=sr_1_2?s=pet-supplies&ie=UTF8&qid=1310744651&sr=1-2 My dog is going to need it a lot and I was wondering if anyone has used one of these. It is to stop her licking her feet. Do you reckon it might work? She is in the largest…

Stupid question alert...
But how do I make salt water?? Had to take my little guy to the vet yesterday as he's got an infected wound in his foot, probably caused by him fighting with another cat or something. This is how he came home: The vet gave him an antibiotic and a painkiller shot and I've got to keep him in until next week. I've got to take…

How long is too long to leave a dog alone?
I have a gorgeous and very happy pug girl. She's developed into a fantastically confident and boisterous little lady and I couldn't be happier. A couple of times a week she's on her own for 5-6 hours. She doesn't seem remotely concerned about this and doesn't go to the toilet during this time (she's not fully trained yet…

Maniac puppies!
We have always had scotties and last July our beloved Angus the scottie passed away after contracting cancer at the age of 14. We were all devastated and only recently have we felt able to contemplate another dog. We wanted a scottie but I heard about a pedigree scottie who had accidently become pregnant by a Jack Russell…

Any ideas, please?
I'm really more of a cat person (having had 3, but none at present) than a dog person, but it's been recommended to me by a couple of people that it would possibly help me if I had a dog. I have a lot of issues going on in my life, and one or two people have said to me that they don't know how they'd cope if they hadn't…

removing dog smell from a large rug
I am putting this in the pet board rather than 'in my home' as I am hoping the doggy people will have some great tips for me. I have a rug in my living room that the dogs lie on and one dog in particular likes to rub his face on after he has eaten and rub his body on after beng wet or out on a walk. The rug stinks! I have…

Cheap (ish!) KatKabin [£39.98 delivered]
I hope it's OK to post a good deal I found for KatKabins? While searching for one for my cottage, I was unimpressed to find they rarely went for anything below the £57.49 they are sold for on the KatKabin website. Then I found them here in green only, for £39.98 delivered. I was somewhat cynical about buying from a TV…

Best gifts for vet surguries?
My dog-dog has been going to the vets weekly/twice weekly for dressing changes following a broken leg. I've been very lucky that two of the vets have fallen in love with my dog and bicker over which of them will see her, and then they proceed to spoil her rotten. Dog-dog has been a star and at half way through things are…

Dog urinating having a temper tantrum.
I know this sounds stupid but this is the only logical explanation we can come up with. Our beagle pup knows he has to go outside and is generally getting alot better but he has this habit of urinating inside if he can't get his own way or he's being ignored. For example I was reading something when I got home (there has…

Really annoyed
Was coming back from a walk with my daughter and dog when one of my daughters friends saw us and cane running over with her grandpa's dog on a lead. The dog is a mixed terrier and is not friendly to other dogs, so they come running over full speed with it snarling and barking. My dog also on lead looks a little unsure but…
