Self insuring your pet via savings. Anyone do this? How do you find it?
I'm not a fan of insurance. I have car and home insurance because I have to, but that's it. Pet insurance has limits etc. and there's a lot they don't pay out for, so I'm considering putting £10k into savings and then adding monthly and having that as insurance for our dog. Wonder if anyone else does something similar?

Horse and kangaroo meat cat food is for sale on Amazon!
I was surprised to see tins of horse meat and of kangaroo meat cat food for sale on Amazon. I could post the links here, but maybe better not to. I don't think it's illegal but it's distasteful (so to speak!) and perhaps carries health risks. From what I read, the kangaroos are caught in the wild and can be diseased.

My dog acts up when I am on the phone
I have a dog which came from a dogs home a few years ago. He had a few behavioural problems when I got him, but by and large has settled down to being fairly well behaved, but he has one behavioural problem that still persists.
