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 ?

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.

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.

My mum has two cats, a brother and sister. She got them as kittens 10 years ago. They were raised together but couldn’t be more different - Louis is large and confident, but Poppy is small and always nervous.
