Coronavirus and having a dog
Sorry for yet another post on the virus but it's quite an important question for me. I'm currently away from my home as I've been living at my elderly parents house prior to moving this year and due to the current situation things have become a little more difficult. I'm staying at my partners during the lock down as it…

Do you wash your cat ?
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?

What could be wrong with my cat?
Hello, we have a moggy tabby kitten (he's 8 months old) who has been castrated but recently he's just not been himself and I'm wondering what could be wrong. This last month he's been off his food. We were giving him whiskers, then switched to Felix then to Gormet. He does eat a bit but not half as much as he used to. We…

Loss of my dog and horse in days apart
I'm not sure if this is the right place for this post. My spaniel boy had cancer which was only diagnosed last month and was given a few weeks left to live. He gained his angel wings on Monday as I couldn't watch him suffer and loss his dignity as he was having accidents indoors which isnt him at all. He passed peacefully…

Feedback/additional info on the excellent Money Saving for Dogs
1) Not all good breeders are attached to the KC Assured Breeders scheme because they may only have a litter once in a while and it is not worth going through the process to get registered. Nevertheless, these are usually excellent sources of dogs because they take such care with their breeding. They ensure all their dogs…

Is it Worth Claiming on pet insurance
I have John Lewis lifetime plus insurance for my cat. My cat was being sick and then I thought I found a lump (possible blockage) so I took her to the emergency vet.

Puppy training classes
I have a cavapoo, he is 20 weeks old. Several family members are telling me I 'must' take him to puppy classes. I'm reluctant because the timings of most local classes clash with work and to be honest, the cost. I don't have much spare income. Part of me feels I'm being a bad owner if I don't go but I think we are managing…

Insurance recommendations for older rescue dog?
Good evening everyone, We will soon be adopting an RSPCA rescue dog, and I'm looking to get insurance in place. I've read Martin's guide on here, but Confused.com wouldn't let me proceed as he *may* have a pre-existing condition. I say *may* as he occasionally holds one of his legs up when walking. The RSPCA vet had…

Pet insurance refusing claim
Hi all My partner and I adopted a puppy back in October last year. As a result of his vaccines and worming treatment he had diarrhea with traces of blood. This is apparently normal in almost all puppies, however it took our little guy a little longer to recover. We took him to the vets and it was concluded that there were…
