Vaccination and chipping costs? Puppy
I'm getting a puppy on 10th May and wondering about costs for microchipping and vaccinations. Does this vary from vet to vet? Once I choose a vet I'll want to stick with the same one. One of the vets I looked at have a health plan for ongoing preventive treatments, "from" 13.99 pm. I wonder if that is worthwhile... Also,…

Advocate for dogs over 40kg
We have a 45kg German Shepherd. Our vet today pointed out that the largest weight band of Advocate (flea etc. treatment) is 25kg to 40kg, so we should either top-up with a 6-10kg Advocate or switch to NexGard Spectra tablets. NexGard costs nearly twice as much as 25-40kg Advocate so this could get even more expected than…

There are a lot of videos on YouTube of people washing their cats. From having cats in years gone by, they never smelled badly or got contaminated with anything bad enough to need more than the odd 'spot' cleaning. Is cat washing a modern thing? Is it just done to make popular YT videos?
