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…

Cat food recommendations
Hi all, Since we got our kittens we have been feeding them royal canine gastrointestinal food (both dry and wet). This was the best recommendation due to them having very bad stomachs when we got them. We are at the stage where we want to transition them off this and I've spent an awful amount of time trying to figure out…

Can I feed my cats tins of dog food?
Hi all, I'm just wondering if any of you have any experience of trying your cats with dog food? I'm asking as my two monkeys only seem to like the orange tins of Butchers cat food, but it is increasingly hard to get where I am. However Butchers dog food seems to be quite easy to get hold of. Is there much difference…

Theresa Tortoise
I was privileged to own Theresa from February last year. She was an unsolicited gift from a friend. However, reluctantly I rehomed her in October as I was not at all confident about hibernating her and couldn't bear the thought of her dying during hibernation, as many tortoises do, and would have worried all winter. I…

Pet insurance with pet wellness?
I know this is available in the US, but not sure in the UK that I've found but does anyone know of any pet insurance that also does pet wellness? I.e. routine check-ups, vaccinations, worming and flea - maybe even have a spaying/neutering option? It seems that this would be sensible - to me - that an insurance wants to…

A different approach to litter trays
Hi all, I have six cats who now live indoors with a catio. With a refuse collection every other week. A you can imagine, I've had to be creative about the litter trays. At first, I was using the flush-able substrate recommended on here by many (Oko, World's Best ???? ) but I discovered that putting cat poo in the sewers is…

Toilet training a puppy - help needed
We have just got a puppy (8.5 weeks old now) and he is a lovely little boy except for the toilet training. When we got him we were told he was using the puppy pads and wasn't having any accidents (I don't think this was a fib). However since we've got him home he is just having accidents everywhere (wees and poos) and I am…

My dog just bit someone
I am absolutely mortified. My 5 year old dog with a normally beautiful temperament just went to attack a dog in the park, and accidentally bit the owner's arm and broke the skin slightly. I said "I'm so sorry, I don't really know what to do. What would you like me to do?" to which she replied, "don't worry about it, it's…

We need to change the address on Sydney's pet passport. Do we need to go to the vets to get this changed or can we just write the new details in ourselves?
