Camping with Gitdog?

I'll be going on my own in a two person tent, with a car. If I left him in the tent at any point (e.g. to go to the loo) the…

Is another dog a good idea?
Hi all, Just after a bit of a balanced view! I currently have a (almost) 10 year old neutered male dog who is a friendly little chap.

As our cat gets older, 10 years now, we have been advised to slowly move him over to wet food. This is try and get more water/liquid into his diet alongside increasing his water intake.

Can anyone recommend these pet insurers?
Trying to decide between "bought by many" and "animal friends" for my elderly cat - both expensive policies (one up to £6,000 per condition per year cover and the other £15,000 total per year with the latter having some dental cover). Really want to know if someone used either of these and if they were good at paying out…

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…

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…

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…
