Old Dog Really Struggling - Options
My Lab is nearly 12. At the start of this year he had a op to remove a tumour. He nearly died during the op. He was found to have peritonitis but no cancer. He was fine for a while after the op then he started bringing up bile, normally in the early hours after he had gone a few hours without food. None of the meds the vet…

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…

Do animals say thank you?
My feline, Bob an 8 yo rescue, cam home a week ago carrying a poorly paw/leg. Nothing obvious so a bit of Matacalm and lots of TLC. He's outing more weight on it now. He's become super affectionate - lap sitting (a rarity for him) , sleeping on the bed, purring. Is he saying thank-you ?

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…

Tuna for kittens + Can you feed kitten food to an old cat?
We have a Maine Coon kitten who likes chicken kibble but only nibbles at chicken wet food. However she loves tuna wet food. Do the dangers of tuna (mercury poisoning) only relate to tuna sold for humans or are there any dangers in daily feeding her cat-prepared tuna? Also, this means I now have a couple of dozen pouches of…

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…

I have opened a complaint with my pet insurer, More Than, as my annual premium for pet insurance continues to increase on average by 80% each year. They looked into the complaint and advised this is in line with their 'rating structure' and it is unfortunate that due to the claims I have processed (my dog has had a few…
