Vetinary Fees
Hi, I wonder if a discussion could be developed to help people with pets achieve more affordable petbills. As someone who doesnt qualify for any benefits i struggle to pay for even basic maintenance treatment - a descale and polish for my cat has been quoted £200+ - it doesnt cost even half of that for my own teeth! How…

Spaying stray cats
Greetings all, My neighbour and I are owned by a lovely little stray cat who can't get away from crazycatladies toms. Whilst I don't mind buying food and wormer for her, I'm getting a little tired of taking her kittens in and rehoming them. I also don't think it's healthy for her to keep having litter after litter. As the…

2 Cats need re-homing
Hi We know someone who needs to rehome 2 Cats that are 3 years old. Do you know where the best place to advertise would be. One is Tabby and the other is White (I haven't seen them, so don't have much details at present). They are in the Berkshire area if that helps. I would take them myself but my cat is 21 years old, so…

Whiskas coupons
Hi all, A few weeks back I rehomed a couple of kittens from the RSPCA. As Whiskas pouches were given to them whilst in their care I thought it best not to upset their tummies and opted to continue using this variety. I noticed on the box of kitten food, in big coloured letters, there was an offer for free money off…

Blood in stool (cat)
We are looking at getting a cat and have found a lovely ginger cat at the local RSPCA and are in the process of adopting him. We are informed that he has had blood in his poo since Monday. He was seen by the vet that changed his food and also gave him the OK to be re-homed. I would just like to know although I will be…

Worming - Not for the faint hearted!
My 9-mth old puppy frequently seems to get terrible worms. Up until he was 6mths he was wormed monthly and from 6mths+ he's been wormed 3-mthly with Milbemax. In between doses he's given Dorwest Garlic tablets. The last dose of Milbemax was given last weekend and there are still worms being expelled. Does anyone know how…

Kennel club pedigree help
I bought a Maltese puppy in November from a breeder paid a extra £100 to get her kennel club registered and I have still not received the papers from the breeder every time I text her to find out what is happening she comes up with a different story why the papers have not arrived yet. Were do I stand and what shall I do…

Worth claiming on insurance?
We had to take our dog to the out of hours vets on Friday, costing us £110. We have pet insurance with an excess of £60. I'm just wondering is it worth claiming the extra £50 back or will our premium go up and make it not worth it? Our dog is 2 and a half and we have never had to take him for anything before. He had a high…

We have adopted 2 kittens - aged approx 5 months. We're having a litter tray problem, with either one or both - not sure which, but think its more likely the very timid little boy. Seems fine for wees, its the other. At the moment we don't let them upstairs, just kitchen/diner & lounge, litter tray is in the kitchen. Has…

Kitten Weeing - after neutering
We have two six-month old male kittens ("Bradley" & "Mo", after our favourite Olympians). Mo - a tabby - has been raised by humans from 3 weeks after being rejected by his mother. He was always a little small, but now is a great healthy size, very energetic and playful, affectionate and a healthy eater. I'm sure he thinks…

Its time to let the old boy go
Our old dog is 17 and his health has gradually been declining and over the last fortnight it has worsened to the point we have both decided its time to lat him have the big sleep. Should we take our younger dog with us to the vets or leave her at home. I think she should come as that way she won't be looking for him, OH…

Dog Food Query!
Hi I have a yellow 2 year old labrador who is lovely, but smells, and poos a lot, and also casts a lot! I know most of you are saying well thats a lab for you - but a pet shop suggested that this was because she wasn't getting everything she needs from her food. She is on Barking Heads just now and always has been - does…

Aquatic background?!
Hi, I have a well established tropical tank which is kept on a bay window sill (I am hoping to clear space to move it away from the window soon but the fish have been thriving there for a while now!) and I use an old piece of cardboard from a box as 'backing.' It doesn't cover the whole back and it looks lousy! Questions:…

Friday Fun - Washing Your Cat
This may have been posted on here before (if so I apologise for the duplication). Received via email earlier today and just thought I'd share to hopefully brighten the day for some :) Some people have the misconception that cats never have to be bathed. That somehow they "lick" themselves clean. Well contrary to this…
