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

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…

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…
