Garfield corn cat litter
I’ve been using a wood pellet cat litter but find it to be difficult to clean as it doesn’t clump but turns into sawdust. My partner is asthmatic so want to avoid a clay litter as I’ve heard it can get very dusty (also heard it isn’t very good at holding the smell and tracks all over the house). I’ve been looking into corn…

Butcher's Tripe / Loaf
Moorning everyone. Quick question; I have tried to google this with no result; thought asking the forum would be a speedier way to find the answer rather than persevering. Really happy to hear from anyone who feeds their dog Butcher's. Our 11 year old Staffordshire has become less enthusiastic with her Chappie than…

Petplan Cat Insurance Covered For Life
My seven-year-old cat, Pudding, has been covered under Petplan's Covered For Life policy since I got her five years ago as a rescue. She's had dental work done (which wasn't covered), but nothing else, and I've never made a claim on the policy. Three weeks ago I fostered another rescue cat, and it soon became very clear…

Moving home
What do I do with my cat when I home swap? She is 6 and has always lived in the house I'm in now. I'm really worried about moving and her running away. We are so swapping so I haven't really got time to settle her in before we move in as will have to exchange on the same day and time I also have 3 kids and dog to think…

I'm so lost, the pain is unbearable!!!
What can I say, I'm reaching out to fellow animal lovers at what is a terrible time for us as a family. Yesterday morning we lost our beloved King Charles cavalier at 06:25, we are heartbroken and the tears are full flow writing this.

Insurance for cats
I’m thinking of getting two kittens from a rescue centre. Is it really worth taking out insurance? They will have been vaccinated etc before I get them, and I’ll have them microchipped. I had it in the past for my cats and never used it, as it doesn’t cover basics like flea treatment, so I’m not sure what to do

How to determine dogs breed for insurance?
We are rehoming a 15 week old dog from the RSPCA, which they believe is a Cane Corso Usually you get 4 weeks insurance when you adopt a dog from the RSPCA, but they have just advised us that their insurance company does not offer cover for Cane Corsos.

Cay destrusctive behaviour - at the end of my tether
Okay, to give a little background - just over a year ago when I was in Canada (got back to UK in March this year) I adopted a cat from a rescue. He basically picked me (walked over to me and lay down on the bag I had just set down as soon as I entered the room). I had never had a cat before so was careful to enquire with…

Lab with Dodgy Tum being Picky
When we got our Lab he was 5 years old, and had been feed on left overs, which left him with IBS/IBD. Vet suggested Purina HA. For a long time he was happy with that, and his stools which had basically been cow pats improved greatly. Earlier this year after turning 11, he needed an Op to remove a tumour. Since then he's…

Is anyone more anxious/nervous about walking dogs more now?
I generally suffer from anxiety anyway but I'm finding things more difficult during this pandemic when walking my dog. I've never been one to let her off a lead on pavements and only let her off in a large enough area where there are not many other people or dogs around. As far as I'm aware, we are currently advised to…

Dog attack
My husband and I went for walk last night with our very friendly medium size dog. We were walking along a garden which was fenced with shrubs as well as wire mesh fencing. We were aware of a dog in the garden as it was walking along the fence same direction as us but we couldn’t see it as the shrubs were quite thick with…
