Puppy dilemma
We are registered kc breeders of siberian huskies. One of our puppies went to a lady around 8 mths ago. To cut a long story short, she is inundating us with messages saying the dog went to her poorly and has had her at the vets every week, she has slated us as bad breeders and is now saying she thinks the dog may have…

Pet Insurance headache
More of a vent really as I am so cross with M&S pet insurance/my vet right now. Our dog was recently diagnosed with epilepsy. She had a seizure on 21st Feb which lasted around 4-5 minutes, no obvious signs afterwards (i.e. she wasn't sick or anything) just a bit dazed so we don't know if she's had more when we've been out.…

Pet water fountains
Hi We've just got two kittens. We have got fresh water down for them but they keep trying to drink out of the toilet ! I've seen that you can get pet water fountains because they like running water. Anybody got one ? Are they worth the investment ? Thanks Jen xx

Do your cats wear collars?
Our boys are currently indoor cats, but once we've settled into our new house we plan to let them outside. I remember one of my parent's cats never grew fur in a ring around her neck from where the collar had been for over 15 years. The more recent two would go out with collars on but come home without them, so they gave…

Hepatic diet
Perry the pup has been placed on a hepatic diet. One thing he misses is his treats. The vet did say that winalot shapes were ok for him. He's not that keen. What else is out there?

Charged twice for same op
Marley my 8 year old lab has recently had a lipoma removed. The fatty mass was a big size and was situated beneath his groin area between his back legs. The vet advised that due to the location of the lump it should be removed, as could possibly get bigger and cause implications such a mobility problems, so I agreed.…

I was looking into trying Royal Canin obesity management but the ingredient list looks like a horror story ! :eek: Has anybody tried these on their cat, have positive or negative remarks etc Cheers

What is the least you would claim treatment for?
Hi, I put my cat into the vets yesterday as he was off his food and appearing poorly. After bloods, consultation etc, the bill came to £109. The excess on my pet insurance is £99. I am wondering if it is worth claiming back a tenner, or if this would affect my premiums in the long run. What do you think? And what is the…

Puppy Anemia - Vet Bills
Hi guys, I think my puppy may be anemic and I’m booking him in for blood tests on Saturday. (Vets4Pets). I understand if he is anemic then we may need to do a blood transfusion. Could anyone shed some light as to how much this would cost, the benefit of my insurance paying for it (if they would) or if it is worth me taking…

Wet Dog Food
Recently came into the care of 2 adult dogs and have been trying out the different wet dog foods. Started cheap but didn't look like they particularly liked it much so I've since been trying different brands, of tinned food I might add. What wet dog food does everyone feed their dogs? So far I've found Naturo seems the…

Vet procedure for anesthesia
Shouldn't a vet weigh an animal before administering ketamine? We recently changed vets and have been for a couple of visits for our cat in Feb. They spotted that teeth needed attention. Cutting a long story short - on drop-off we said we thought he'd been losing weight (usually 5.5Kg). On collection after an extraction of…

Been ripped off by a vet - help!!
Hi all, We have been ripped off (in my opinion) by an out of hours vet. A couple of weeks ago my nusband came home from work to discover our aged dog Alfie had had a violent seizure. He then went on to have several more over the course of the evening. I called the out of hours vet (actually the PDSA) who provide a so…

There seem to be a few but just not sure which are legitimate, professional or not so thought I would ask. Not looking for the cheapest just a recommened one that someone has used. Thank…

Not being able to afford potentially huge vet bills
Hello, One of my three dogs, who is only 6 years old, woke up today and was very wobbly on his feet and not himself. It got a bit worse as the day went on, so I took him to the vets. The vet has said they think it is something neurological with his spine. They have done blood tests which have shown there is no infection.…
