Vet Complaint due to Negligence
My cat lost a fight just over two weeks ago. I took her to an emergency vet on a Sunday. I got an appointment which lasted 5 minutes maximum. That was the vet looking briefly at the cats eye from far with no thorough examination. It also included the vet going to get her medication (eye drops) and returning to show me how…

Online dog discussion forum help
I recently adopted a new puppy, male labradoodle. It’s my first ever dog. My partner raised dogs growing up but it’s been a while so it’s quite new for us. I‘ve been boring my friends enough seeking advice, so I’m trying to sign up to online pet discussion forums. NONE of them will approve my requests to join. It seems…

Neighbour's barking dog
Hello, live in a semi-detached house. Around Christmas new neighbours moved in (similar age to us - late twenties) seemed like nice quiet professional couple.

Moneysaving Wagg or Tails.com?
Having just read the 'push' for Tails dog food via the newsletter it was a little disappointing to not see the 'moneysaving' comparison. This is after all a moneysaving website / forum. While I appreciate many have a view on cost vs quality, these measures in the main are subjective and if this was applied to all…

What to do about our very clingy dog
We have a lovely Spaniel. He was 14 months old when we got him, he is nearly 6 now. I dont think he had the best start in life. He wasn't neglected but was kept in a very confined area within his home and I think the lady who had him simply had not realised how boisterous he was going to be and could not handle him. I…

Encourage cat to toilet inside, not out?
Yesterday a neighbour came to complain about our cat pooping in their garden. We bought them some repellent granules and told them to follow the instructions closely, clearing the area completely (offered to do this for them) and applying the granules every couple of days to start with. We also said we’d *try* keeping…

Help with 5 month old kitten
Morning everyone I’m here having been woken up quite early and bitten multiple times since then. Our male kitten is nearly 5 months old and I cannot get him out of the habit of biting us. The longer we have had him the more I don’t think he was socialised very well or suspect there may have been a lot of litters in the…

Vet fees spiralling and I can't afford it
Hi, I have pet insurance and have paid it for 3 years. My labrador needs surgery on her cruciate ligament and the insurance company will only cover £1500 of this. So far the vets invoices are up to £5000 but this doesn't include follow up appointments, xrays afterwards and any possible problems. The repair on the leg will…
