Much as we are all sick of the B word, my vet has a notice up about potential changes to the rules if it all goes pear-shaped so just. sharing this for those who may not be aware that things could change.…

Reporting dog for neglect?
We have a dog that pretty much all day will be out in the streets. When we first moved here we thought it was stray dog but upon trying to walk toward him, he ran off. He's pretty scared of people. We've been here 3 years now and he's still roaming around. We live in a residential area with a main road at the bottom of our…

Cat - ear problem
Our 15 year old male cat has started pawing his ear and shaking his head - I am assuming that he has an ear infection Is it worth trying http://www.petsathome.com/shop/en/pets/antibacterial-ear-drops-and-cleanser-18ml-for-cats-and-dogs-by-vetzyme or should we take him to the vets tomorrow ?

Do puppy pads stay dry on top?
We'll be moving our cats 1.5 hours in the new year, and one of them recently wet himself on the 15 min journey home from the vets. I was wondering whether a puppy pad would absorb any liquid but meant he still felt dry sat on top? It's not the end of the world if we can't find a solution; normally I'd just have a towel in…

Cat - behaviour after vets visit
Last night we took our 11yr old cat to the vets - he has been losing weight for the past month to two months and we decided to get it investigated. He was happy to go in his case (he often sleeps in it!) and although mildly stressed by the car journey, arrived safely at the vets. Once in the consultion room, he was…

How much is it for a cat check up at the vets?
Hi all, we adopted a cat a few weeks ago (1 year old) and sometimes she wees and poos on the sofa, I've changed her litter tray and given her an extra one and she seemed fine for a while and now she wees in her litter tray and then poos on the sofa. I have tried some home remedies and so far nothing has stopped her pooping…

Pet Prescription
Never asked for one before, but as my cat is on regular ongoing medication, I am horrified that I can get the same drugs online for half the price! What do I ask the vet for - just a prescription? Do you think it will affect the relationship we have?

Allergic to new pup?
I have just got a new pup last week and I am suffering with allergic symptoms. Red eyes, stuffy nose. I have been to chemist and bought all the relevant drops/tablets. It seems to happen more in the evening. I am now trying to have less contact with her at this time and not let her sit on me. Is there any hope for me? I…

Can cats diet affect my allergies?
I’m sure I read somewhere that changing a cats diet can have an affect on allergies suffered by the cats owner. Is that true? Or just another one of those made up internet things? Reason I ask is this week I’ve re-developed an allergy to my 14 year old cat. I’ve had him since he was two weeks old, hand reared him. He was…

Shop bought guinea pigs sick
Sorry for the long post. We recently bough 2 baby guinea pigs from a well known chain pet store. Shortly after purchase, we noticed one was coughing, sneezing and breathing loudly. A week later, the other developed scabs on his ear. We took them both to a vet, the sneezing one was prescribed antibiotics and…

Can I ask for Neighbour's Dogs to be Kept on a Lead
Hi, We live next to a farmer's field where one woman walks her dogs off the lead. Her dogs keep getting into our garden, and I am scared they might do something to our dogs. One is a Jack Russell, which is a breed I don't trust entirely as one had its jaws around my dog's neck once when walking in the park. The other dog…

Pet Insurance premium hike (M&S)
My lovely doggo has had epilepsy for a number of years which needs ongoing medication to keep it at bay. In December 2017 his insurance premium went up from £70pm to £100pm. Part of the reason was he's a golden retriever and had reached 7 years old. Also, they take in to account the number and value of claims made. I've…

Doggy treats
I expect all us dog-lovers are prone to rewarding our pets with the occasional treat for being well-behaved, or perhaps even just "being" there for us. However, I watched a neighbour's dog gradually deteriorate by being overweight and eventually expiring in due (in part) to liver failure due to his owner feeding it…

Unfair treatment of cat
Hi, In the Spring of 2017 a cat started coming to my dads garden. After a while it appeared the cat was staying there permanently and sleeping under a bush so my partner and I took it to the vet to check for a microchip. The cat was chipped and we then spoke with the owners. The owners said the cat has moved itself out…

Where to rehome cats?
Hello everyone, Please no judgement before I start this post. I have got two cats (around 5 years old) they are lovely, however my son and I both have asthma (I have recently been diagnosed) and I think their fur is playing it up. I would like to rehome them but am not sure where the best place to go is? I have tried…

Mature Cat's Unwelcome Morning Wakeup Calls
Hi there, Hoping any advice/ insight on this issue. I adopted my rescue kitty two years ago now, and he is now 11(ish?) years old. I knew he wouldn’t be without his quirks and absolutely love and adore him to bits- the reward of seeing his personality emerge overtime is fab and in my opinion, far outweighs his habits of…

New puppy training
New puppy arriving Sunday. Although I have owned a dog before it was about 20yrs ago before the use of crates was popular. So some advice please. This puppy is used to being in a large crate with rest of the litter and used to it being shut. I would like to continue using a crate but not sure how to use it when toilet…

Pet Insurance
Renewal time and I'm shopping around because 1) premiums have gone up (annual increase, no claims made) 2) the level of cover is no longer sufficient (want £5k plus per condition) 3) our vet isn't dealing with our insurer directly any more which raises red flags We're currently with Animal Friends. They have mixed reviews,…
