Dog flatulance
Sorry for the topic but I cannot stand much more of it. My foster dog is currently in 20mg of omeprazole with another 5 days to run. I suspect this is the cause. Has anyone else has a dog on this medication who has had this problem? Any solutions?? The smell is beyond offensive! Any advice appreciated.

Why is tinned cat food disappearing from shops?
Hello - my first post! All the cats l have had have been happy with tinned food, plus the dried variety for variation and snacks.

Insurance Query
We've recently adopted a new dog from a rescue and he has a funny looking small lump on the inside of his ear - a bit like a cyst maybe? He had his boosters last week and the vet seemed fairly interested in it. We've not yet setup insurance and weren't 100% sure we would as he's a bit older (9yrs) and we expected premiums…

Help teach rescue dog about play and treats
Any advice more than welcome. Just over a week ago, my daughter and I adopted a dog from RSPCA who had been previously locked in a pigeon shed for 3 months whilst her owner was in hospital. Following his death, his wife took the dog to RSPCA, saying she knew nothing about the dog and didn't want it. As it turns out, the…

Cats keep coming in my garden
I am at wit's end. Several years ago my dog (40kg GSD x Rottie) got one and badly hurt it. Thankfully it was saved. Today, a really fat one jumped down off the fence right in front of my dog, and was then too fat to get away despite my dog now being 10 years old with bad hips! I've spent the last hour canvassing the…
