Dogs farmed out and missing them soooo much!
Going away in the morning and my dogs are at their holiday homes tonight - one with each of my grown up kids. I know they will be happy - they adore their "babysitters" - but I'm missing them like mad already tonight. No cold wet noses investigating my shopping bag, no soft brown eyes gazing lovingly at me, no silky ears…

Indorex Flea Spray & Animedirect.co.uk
Got a flea problem at the mo, the kitties are going into the fields which is the root cause I think. Anyway, wanted to try Indorex flea spray & the cheapest place I've found so far is Animeddirect.co.uk, it's £8.60 p+p free. Anyone ordered from them before? Are they any good? Thanks.

Metacam for cats
My elderly cat was put on this last week as the arthritis in her back quarters had got worse and she seemed to be in pain. There is some improvement but not a lot. I have since been reading up on metacam and am unsure about continuing with it as she suffers with occasional idiopathic cystitis as well . I was wondering if…

Is it the million dollar question...
I have been sat wondering why people purposely go out of their way to find a pet (particularly dogs), then don't look after them. In this I mean a person maybe out at work all day or even all night, or someone who just doesn't bother with their pet at all. I personally can't understand it. Just wondering if anyone has an…

Cat throwing up, switch to grain-free food?
Hi, One of my cats keeps throwing up after he eats although he seems in otherwise good health, not losing weight or anything. Is there a good grain-free food you would recommend as I've read that could be the culprit? Thanks.:)

What's the best low calorie dry dog food?
I've been feeding our nearly 5 year old bulldog Hills canine adult light, to try to control his weight, but I'm not sure if Hills is the best option, and there are so many different Hills varieties, that I felt a bit lost... I also came across "Eukanuba Daily Care, Overweight & Sterilized". The bag's got a picture of a…

Pet Insurance Claim question
My dog recently was involved in a collision, and was taken to the closest vets, not her regular one. They then referred her to a vet hospital, and they want a claim form from us before they will return her ashes. (I understand why, but I don't like it :( ) I've put both vets names on the claim form, with a 'Date last…

Cat with gum deseases: hill's t/d and alternatives
My cat, a rescue 2yo female who's been with us only a few days, suffers from serious gum disease and had two molars pulled out as well. We have been advised to give her Hills t/d. I'm not too keen because of the poor quality of ingredients, I've done quite a lot of research on that and found that a lot of people advise…

feeding a cat raw meat
I would like to fee my cat some raw meat, particularly necks (if I can get hold of them) and wings because she has gum disease. I tried giving her some wings from a supermarket (well not proper wings because when I open the packet I found that for some reasons the tips had been removed :mad:). The problem is that she ended…

Flipping cats!!
Hi, just want to have a bit of a moan..... Devoted slave to 4 cats, ranging in age from nearly 2 years right the way up to 18 years. Obviously I would do anything for them, but this week.....:( youngest girl was a bit off colour, lethargic, off her food etc. Stroking her flank on Tuesday evening, felt a big squishy lump.…

Talking to my vet, he said Hills had brought out a new weight-loss formula that works by activating the fat-losing gene in the body of the animal. He said it has had a 80% success rate! Apparently, this only came out last week. Anybody heard anything?

Lurcher collars
Hi Just looking for some thoughts. WE have a 8mth old lurcher not long had her from the dogs trust and we were wanting to get her a new collar. Now Ive heard people saying that with the grehound/lurcher neck they have to have the proper grehound collars as their neck is very sensitive. I thought that this was due to…

Dog Collars
I cant seem to find any I like from the places I usually buy from. Figured it might be worth asking on here if you guys have any favourite places for nice dog collars? Trying for pink, purple (or even red). I try to stay away from collars that are too "butch" as I have a SBT and found after switching from a black leather…

Smelly cat litter trays HELP
I have 4 cats, 1 goes out regularly and never uses a litter tray, 1 goes out sometimes (depends on the weather) so sometimes uses a litter tray and 2 never go out. I took on the 2 that never go out last year as their owner could not keep them and no rescue would take them as they are 12 years old. They apparently used to…

How does your dog poo?
I always look on poo as a barometer of my pet's health. Until recently it was (imo) perfectly formed! Soft, smooth, firm and moderate bulk. Regular as clockwork too, 3 times a day. Then I switched to fresh cooked due to health concerns. Omg - a once a day, dryish scant production (despite trying various recommended foods)…
