Sugary food for dogs
My dog loves sugary food. Especially, he likes Milk with sugar, cakes, some sweet fruits, ice cream and, etc. I feel so sad to prevent him from eating these things since he is very happy with these things. Would it be dangerous when time passes? what could I do to make him less-interested in these things?

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…

Dog Bite Claim
Can anyone advise the difference between seeking a claim via regular solicitor and no win no fee firm? In particular do you get less if you use no win no fee route? Do they take a cut from the compensation? I was attacked by a Rottweiler and sustained substantial injury. Thanks

Entitlement for a refund of my puppy that passed away after 10 months.
Hi, In August 2019 me and my partner purchased a KC registered puppy. Unfortunately in March she passed away, the vets have said it was due to underlying health issues and the breeding of the dog was that bad the breeders should not be able to breed. She cost £2,300 and we have further since paid around £1500 in vet bills.…

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…

She's taken quite well to the new place, and i'm just wondering what the general opinion is on how long before I start introducing her to the garden.

Urology cat food
One of our cats was in the vet over the weekend with a blocked bladder. The vet would prefer a lifestyle change (diet, predominantly) rather than jumping straight into long term medications and have supplied us with a bag of Virbac Urology (Dissolution &…

They said they seized mobile phones as part of an investigation and my number was one of many on the phone.

Vet prescription
Hi, I cancelled by cat policy. £270pm- no thanks! She gets a blood pressure medication Amodip. I am being told the vet can charge for issuing this and they think it's £13. They also say the vet can decide to have the cat in as and when they please. So every month in. New to me- never realised vets done this just always…
