Fleas - please help
I hope someone here can advise me. I have two cats who have been with me for seven years now and have never had fleas before. The cat I had before them did get fleas quite badly before she died and I had to have someone out to get rid of them. My two cats now don't go out much, not at all in the winter so I must admit I…

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…

I visited a local kennels (14th January 2019) with a view to booking in my 2 Labrador dogs in the summer.

During the evening…

Cat help!
Hi all, I’ve found myself in a little bit of a dilemma, I’m moving to a new rented house and my new landlords just advised me that he’s happy for my 2 cats to move with us (result) but as it’s a brand new property we can’t install a cat flap as it’s patio doors as my back door and he won’t allow cat flaps in front doors or…

Cost of eutanasia/private cremation - London
My 12.5 yo German Shepherd, Zara gave me a real scare not long ago when I thought it was time to let her go. Thankfully she picked up and despite being senile in her ways - she is not uncomfortable, she enjoys a little walk every day and barking at foxes in the garden. But that made me think - I spoke to my vet at the time…

Appealing pet insurance exclusions
Last year we adopted a mature dog (approx 4 years old) from a rescue who had taken him from the pound. We have vet records from the rescue and then from his time with us, but obviously not before that.

Bitten by a dog compensation claim
Last May I was bitten by a dog at my local park. Had to have hospital treatment. Tried to do a no win no fee claim for compensation via a solicitor found online.

Verm x for dogs
Our vet prescribed Advocate for our dog but it didn't agree with him. We then tried Nexguard Spectra but after reading more about it, I decided I didn't want to use that either. I have read up about Verm x which sounds ideal, but I wonder if anyone uses it and if it works ?

It boiled down to hard landscaping, which given that it is next to a patio area, I feel is not particularly attractive. So I'm leaning towards fake grass. Has anyone any thoughts /experience? I believe hosing down with diluted Jeyes fluid…
