Help advice on fleas on puppy!
Have got a bull mastiff pup who is 6 months old. Any one help with any other remedies from what I have used already. I have used bob martins tablets, tried the liquid on back of neck and bathed her in the flea shampoo. Am constantly hoovering the house. Would it help to take to vets and pay extortionate prices when there…

He's a gorgeous smoky grey colour and completely nuts as only kittens can be, but my friend who picked him up and looked after him yesterday until i got home from work has now…

Any guinea pig owners/"experts"?
I've just rescued three baby guinea pigs (don't ask) Any "experts" in guinea pig care? I don't really trust pet shops as last time I got a rabbit from there I followed their advice and it died! I've put them in the cage tonight and left them to it with the radio turned on low (to get them used to noise as they will be…

What should I do
At work on my afternoon break I go and get my car and bring it closer to work (don't ask!) Anyway, yesterday I pulled my car into my usual afternoon spot and noticed that a contractors van next to me had a small puppy in it. He was gorgeous. The dog was on the passengers seat and looked very happy to see someone. The…

Sometimes I just wish I had a 'normal' dog!
Am sat here now doing some indoor training exercises with Little Sod as I wussed out on his evening walk half way round. He is being the prefect student and looks so innocent... I have been working from home this afternoon and have spent the majority of the afternoon retrieving stolen pens, purses, notebooks, mobiles etc…

Reactive dog- insurance help needed
I let my pet insurance lapse a couple of months back- had been with Tesco for both my cat and dog. We decided not to renew with Tesco as we had never made a claim, but the renewal was almost double what we had been paying. I'm now trying to gather quotes again, but have hit a stumbling block. My lovely stuffy x boy is dog…

Switching dog to wet food
Yet another feeding fussy Captain Dumbass enquiry. We've persisted with dry food since we got him in May. We've probably thrown away more than he's eaten. We've tried various ranges, with and without wet food added. If we give him it without wet food he wont go near it and if he has wet food, he eats the wet food and…

Indoor/outdoor?
We've had our cat (8 year old male) for just over 6 weeks now. He's settled in great, seems happy, very affectionate and very much at home. So far he's been kept inside, apart from a couple of wanders round the garden when I've been with him. On the last occasion a dog barked (a long way away) and he shot back inside the…

My friend has just had her cat returned that went missing 7 months ago after the vet checked him for a chip :) One very relieved owner. :j So please, make sure to chip your cats and dogs! (By law, ALL dogs should be already chipped)

Dog with allegies?
After much deliberation we have decided to adopt a dog from the rescue centre. Having chosen our dog we now find that she is on expensive medication for allergies to "everything". The centre will continue to pay for the tablets and are going to try her on something different and cheaper before she is rehoused. If this…

He keeps peeing EVERYWHERE
So we have a 5 month old kitten whom I adore and is prefect in every way except he's taken to peeing on anything that is mine. He's not ill as we've taken him to the vets, he just keeps doing it. I'm booking him in to get neutered today, but is there anything I can do to get him to stop ?

Agria Pet Insurance - Big Annual Increase for Males??
I've got 2 big dogs (Deerhounds) that are insured with Agria and have been for some years. The female is nearly 6 years old (bar a month) and the male is 6.5 years old. In May 13, the female's policy went up £2 to £38.41, but I noticed this month that the male's policy has gone up nearly £11 to £49.08 per month. The male…

Dog insurance
My dog is 14 years old and I have insured her with Castle Cover for the last 6 years. They recently changed their underwriter and it is now with Petwise insurance. The premium has jumped from £23 per month to £67 a month. I know it will increase because she is an older dog but it seems excessive to say the least. I have…

Feeling very guilty.
I've just today discovered that my poor kitty has been suffering from a pretty nasty flea infestation for god knows how long, unbeknownst to me the Frontline I have been treating her with just wasn't working. She's a longhaired fluffball so I could never look for the fleas/dirt effectively until its got to this point where…

What might these symptoms mean?
Hello, I have a very ill dog who's really only kept going by regular medication. I am taking her to the vet tomorrow as she's started trembling, has a loss of appetite but increased thirst and I'm wondering if there are any experts out there who can prepare us for what the diagnosis may be. She is still enthusiastic about…
