Butcher's Tasty Bites
Now that they have stopped making them does anyone know of a similar dog food the same size in the same price range? Dad made me a whole lot of toys with holes in so that he could put the food inside and I get to play with the toys trying to get the food out again. Smaller foods come out too quickly and the fun is over too…

Eco friendly way of getting rid of cat litter?
My cats have wood cat litter, which is biodegradable. Problem is I don't like just chucking it straight into the black bin so I use a bag, which to me defeats the whole point of it being biodegradable :/ I try and get as much litter in the bag as I can so It's not just one bag per tray :/ I have heard you can compost it…

How much does it cost to care for a dog?
Hi All, My partner and I really want a dog and have for ages. Up to now we have refrained as we live in a first floor maisonette with no garden and didn't think it was fair on the dog. That being said, we've recently been dogsitting whilst my father in law was on holiday for 2 weeks and got along great with his Lurcher…

Given cat by neighbour but original owner, her son, wants it back.
Hi, around a year ago our neighbour at the request of her son took in his cat because the son had just had a baby and his wife considered cats dirty, they didn't like cats, and they didn't want it in the house ruining their expensive furniture. This was their third cat they had taken on and given away, their first two cats…

cat pee on the bed again!
I can't work my cat out! We adopted another cat and they both get on really well, they share the sofa, play together, I even saw Unicorn groom him yesterday! When we first got Uni she had a habit of peeing on the bed/floor. She eventually stopped when we changed the litter + added a litter tray to the bathroom next to the…

Grieving Cat
Had two cats from the same litter from 3 months old. Last week, we received the call from the vet that one had been found and brought in by a neighbour. They were/are only 14 months, so of course, it was all a shock, but me and my kids are coping. However, the other cat doesn't seem to be so well and I just want some tips…

Cat proofing a garden
Just musing and interested in any thoughts. I have an indoor cat (FiV+) and a very small courtyard garden. A fence (not cat proof!) on two sides and the house on the other two. I am on a new build estate and can't construct anything permanent in the courtyard nor raise the fence. My guy is an ex stray and it would be nice…

Opinions - pet insurance
My dog is 13 this year. He has been insured since a pup. He has a couple of pre existing conditions. One was a bout of Pancreatitis 4 yrs ago. My problem is his renewal has landed in the post and they now want £90.80pm 😦. I can’t afford that! I thought £56 pm was bad enough for the current insurance year! I’ve only claimed…

Cat insurance incl dental and kittens
Hi, We have just acquired a kitten and am looking at insurance. It's all a bit overwhelming so looking for advice, specifically as we intend to breed and I noticed some don't cover if you will "earn from your pet". Also, would like dental to be covered but apparently this is complicated as you have to have check ups every…

Where to find a dog
We've decided we want to add a dog to our family, but where is the best place to find a nice little dog? I dont want to spend hundreds of pounds on something pedigree, and I dont especially want a puppy, but i'm more a cat person, so I dont want a rescue that will need lots of extra specialist help, I've heard lots of dogs…

Letting older cat outside for first time
Hi all I have a 4 year old cat who has been kept indoors since he was a kitten. We've always lived in fairly busy city areas so it just felt the safest option. Next year we're hoping to move to a quieter suburb with a garden. Would it be ok to start letting him out there, assuming we introduced it gradually to him? I've…

New house
I’m really upset, we have just bought a house in a new area. It’s about 20 mins from our old area. My cat is an outdoor cat most of the time. When we came to look around the house, it was very quiet and the road seemed fine. A few cars, but nothing major. Since being here, I’ve spoken to the neighbours and apparently no…
