Dog constantly scratching...
and biting himself and licking, but definitely no fleas as he is always treated. He has always had completely grain free high quality food and we have bathed him with Pet Nat Dermacton shampoo bar, but nothing seems to stop it. We have also started giving him one meal of completely wet food to see if this would help. Just…

Pet Insurance Claim Declined - Help!
So, our dog needed a specialist operation to remove a lump which was restricting her movement. I thought we'd be covered by pet insurance, up to £2000. The final bill came to £5100!! We cashed in some savings, thought we'd at least get some money back. But no! The insurance company have declined the claim on the grounds…

Considering re homing rabbits
I feel terrible for even thinking it but I'm considering looking to give our 2 rabbits away. I've always believed animals are for life but I'm wondering if our bunnies might be happier elsewhere. They are 2 adult females and we got them from a petting farm. Had them 1 year. I thought they would be sociable as they were…

Tethered treat dispensing toy for dogs
I recently bought our 15yr old choc lab one of them maze wobble toys that dispenses treats as it rocks and rolls. Being a lab she is very motivated by food, but being old isn't very flexible and if the toy gets stuck under a shrub or garden chair, she can't get it out again. So I was wondering if anyone had come across a…

Keeping dogs from the same litter.
I'm about to buy two dogs and I seem to get conflicting information about whether its a good idea to have brothers from the same litter, or not. Between info from friends and Google, there seems to be pitfalls to rearing two brothers from the same litter, and two males who are not related also. The reason I am going to get…

Pet insurance
I’m hoping someone can help. We have a 9 year old collie/lab cross. He was insured until he was 6 in another country. When we moved back to the UK the insurance stopped. He has a cruciate ligament injury from years ago so we know anything affecting that won’t be covered (as it was in the previous insurance) We didn’t get…

Missing Cat Found, Advice that worked
Hi all, Just a happy little quick one as maybe it will help someone in the future. I've just bought my first home (2 months) and my cat moved in about a month ago. He's a family cat and lived with my parents about a mile away. I kept him in to settle which he did great, and slowly opened the door for him to see outside…

Cat Grass
My indoor cats love the Catit grass. I'd like to buy similar seeds in a bigger quantity, but "cat grass" can be any of a number of varieties and it seems sensible to get the type I know they like - and it's ridiculous to use seeds imported from Canada rather than more locally grown ones! Does anyone know what grain the…

Zooplus
Hi All, Just to let you know my experience with Zooplus. I used them a couple of times to buy cat food. I decided to try a new flavour and bought a set of 24 - 4 packages of 6. My cats did not like the flavour. I tried to change the unopened packages and they did not want to change it for me. The customer experience was…

Petcare While Moving
We've moving house on Thursday and had lined up the inlaws to look after our two dogs from the morning of the move to the following day. Unfortunately FIL has been in hospital (happily he's going to be OK) but is understandably a bit nervous about having them around while he's still a bit unsteady. Other options…

Good quality, inexpensive, cat food?
I'm currently spending £40 per month on MACs from zooplus for my cat. I used to spend £30 at Happy Kitty Company, but it's shut down now. I was wondering if there was a cheaper alternative that was still good quality? Maybe one I can buy from a supermarket/pets at home instead of online?

Cat Spray stain removal suggestions
As the title says, one of my cats has sprayed 2 veins (of my relatively new) set of vertical blinds! As they are quite new I am reluctant to put them all into soak in warm water or into the washing machine. I have tried to lightly remove the stained area with a damp cloth, fairy liquid and today dilute vanish dabbed on.…

Dogs playing tug-of-war and it goes too far
Hello team Not really a money-saving question, but hopefully you have some advice anyway. We have a dog who's 8, male, and liked to rule the roost. He has a thing for his head/face, no-one is allowed to touch it or get close (except us). Last week we got a second dog, female, 2, and very tiny. We ensured she had the…

cat tracker recommendations?
One of my beloved cats is missing, and I really want to get cat trackers for my other 2. Idid try the Loc8or a few years ago, but it was a flawed design as it emitted a high pitch noise on their collars and they freaked out so I didn't use it.. the technology must've improved significantly since then.. Any recommendations…

Neighbours complain about dog wee on YARD.
So we recently moved in above a deli and a hairdressers. We have a dog and a shared back YARD. No grass, solid concrete. We pick up her mess two or three times a day. One of the neighbours (wouldn't give name or workplace) has just asked us to WASH THE YARD every time the dog has a wee! Which is usually first thing in the…
