Goldfish tank cleaning tips?
Our goldfisk tank is in need of a good clean. The filter needs cleaning, and we have a build-up of algae on the glass. We have cleaned this off regularly, but it builds up so fast! We have a tropical tank too, that is exactly the same size, but we've never had an algae problem. Any good tips for cleaning the filter and…

oddest / worst things brought home by your cat
A few days ago a large (cat length) branch from a fir tree appeared in our bathroom - brought in through the window and deposited in the shower tray. There are no fir trees in our garden, or our neighbours garden. Closest is about 300 yards away. The worst ever was a dead crow - that was brought back to the house in bits.…

Wet food for dogs - advice please
Hi I have 2 CKCS ... 1 skinny 10YO with grade 5 murmur, and a fat 9YO with cancer (anal tumours) on chemo meds (palladia). They both had sensitive tummies as pups, so have been on a pretty bland diet ever since, and are on a mix of white fish (freshly cooked), pasta or JWB kibbles and veg but the 10YO is getting very fussy…

Loxicom for arthritic cats
Our older cat (14) has quite bad arthritis in her back legs, she can still quite happily climb and jump from the top of our three storey cat tree and run around like a loon but when she has been laying down for long lengths of time, she is quite stiff. We have tried loxicom before in the liquid but she wasn't falling for…

High calorie cat food
My cat is currently recovering from a surgery to her throat, she has had a fairly nasty on going problem which has caused her to lose quite a lot of weight. So far we have tried a high calorie paste and hills critical care which the vet gave us. It was clear that she disliked both and the hills caused her to have…

Guess what my cat brought it?

Today I was in my lounge and all I could hear was a screaming sound and loads of thuds from the kitchen. I ran through and guess what hed brought in and it was massive?

Is it immoral?
Not to tell a new landlord you have a dog? I've been searching with no avail for a rented property that will allow dogs, but none seem to accept. Ive come to the conclusion maybe better not to say I have one, if they do not specifically say no dogs. Any thoughts or recommendations for rented properties that will allow a…

Happy thoughts for CD please
Hello guys. I'm so worried. CD has had diarrhoea on and off all weekend. As CD tends towards a nervous tummy at first we weren't too worried as he was eating and drinking and acting normally and his poo solidified a bit so we decided to just keep an eye on him. Only last night I slept downstairs with him and he woke me up…

Cat litter dilemma, please advise
Hi, I have two indoor cats who are very well behaved but they often poo outside of their litter tray. I did have a hooded tray but found that a bind to clean so have now got an open one. I work full time so can't be there to change the litter every time they poo and I realise that cats don't like to poo in the tray once…

Pulling out of collar.
My Beagle is scared of lots of things. She goes beserk at times. She is not the easiest dog to walk. She pulls all the time. She is so strong that it hurts my arms. She twists her body around, tips her head down and pulls out of her collar. I have decided to get a harness for her. I don't want it to stop her pulling as…

Dog keeps eating poo - sorry!!
Morning all, Sorry for the gross start to the day! Our 11 year old choc lab has a habit of eating poo. Not her own (though she did do for a while) but cat poo and other dog poo. She snaffles it quicker than the blink of an eye, just as you are not watching her for an instant, and seems to be able to find it from miles…

15l fishtank - too small?
Does anyone have any advice on this sort of thing? I really like the look of it but I've never had any tropical fish before and I don't know if 15l would be big enough for them? https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/avo/avo-the-stylish-self-cleaning-fish-tank
