Purina Proplan
Sorry, just need a small vent. We've been feeding our rescue Rottie Oscars pet food since we got him in March and it suits him well. We've recently been handed over to a new franchise owner who neither myself or the OH are especially keen on and so we are now looking for a new dog food supplier. We were recently given some…

Cat missing...bullied by other cats?
My lovely brindle tortie Holly hasn't been seen since Saturday :( I heard her Saturday night, we were in bed and she was in the kitchen. At night she's able to let herself into the kitchen but doesn't have the run of the house (coudn't cope with all the bits of dead mice I'd find in the morning!). I'm still annoyed at…

Adoption...
Don't breed and buy while shelter animals die. http://www.pawsperouspets.com/adopt/petshelter.shtml It's sad so many on this forum advocate buying rather than adopting. You are just as guilty of encouraging pet overpopulation as any breeder. Always encourage adoption. Always encourage spay and neuter. Every home a breeder…

Cats and cat boxes (insertion of!)
Sigh. It's time for my cats' annual health check and innoculations boosters. I've got an appointment tomorrow and I can't say I'm looking forward to getting the wee fellas into their boxes. Every year we have the same problem - they freak out. And we all need follow-up appointments with the first aid box. We look like…

New kittens, how much would you expect to spend at the vets in the first year?
We have just got two 8 week old kittens and I've been looking up vets in order to get their injections. We will also be looking to get them microchipped and neutered (both female). I can't find any prices online for these services locally but a vet which several people have recommended offers a £9.99 an month plan (for 12…

Finding a good yorkshire terrier puppy?

I have been looking on Pets4homes and likewise websites, however I have been told that these can sometimes/not always be a front for puppy farms. :eek: I have emailed our local vets asking them for any good local yorkshire terrier breeders. They have…

V worried about cat. Bad reaction to Advantage?
Hi all. Hoping someone can reassure me here, or at least tell me what if anything I can do :( Yesterday I dosed my two cats with the flea treatment 'Advantage'. We normally use frontline but this had stopped working on them and they both had a really bad case of fleas. We administered the stuff and they seemed fine for a…

Changing dogs name?
I'm thinking ahead a bit here, and this may not crop up, but if I could just ask? The plan is when we've moved, to get another dog, or 2, from a breed rescue or similar. I've seen dogs with some really naff names and also a lot of 'Murphys,' (I really couldn't replace Murph with another one of the same name). I really…

Lap cats: nature or nurture?
Just wondering really. Our little 2 year old Maisie is not a lap cat it seems. We brought her home only a month ago, so it could be that she's still a bit skittish, it could be her age, or it could be that she's just not people-orientated that much. She loves company & will follow us from room to room. She also loves…

First (and only) season
Hiya, Our wee 7 month old JRT-Zelda has just come into her first season. She will be getting spayed as soon as it's over. BUT- Good God!! She's a crabby wee biotch! Is there a doggy equivalent to a slab of chocolate?? :D I've had JRT girls before- granted it was 24 and 16 years ago respectively, but I can't remember them…

Our new doggy
Thought I would introduce you to Molly (my avi photo) we got her in march from the sspca, she is a 2yr old cairn and just the cutest wee doggy ever. She was very skittish and nervy to begin with but we are gradually getting her to find her natural terrier instincts. We had to have our last dog put down in december as his…

Dog Vs Cat
After much consideration, we have become owners of a 9wk old tom cat. The cat is great, kids thrilled etc, however the main problem is my 7 year old Great Dane. We have been letting her "meet" the kitten wearing her leash and muzzle. The first couple of times were quite traumatic, however she then was able to sit (with…

Cat on apex of roof
There's a big black cat on the apex of a roof of a house at the rear of mine. I think it lives there as it occasionally gets in through the skylight but otherwise it's sitting up there night and day, looking into my back garden and driving my dogs mad.:eek: At the moment it's happily grooming itself up there but I just…

Experience of a Water Scarecrow to Deter Cats, Please?
Those electronic ones, that attach to a hosepipe. My neighbour is complaining of my cats going in their garden, and I'm considering buying them one. Could you please share any experiences, good and bad? Thank you. I've offered to clean up their garden, but she's smilingly declined. However, her 50 year old son is unhappy.
