Neighbour has stolen my much loved cat...
Hi I'm really at my wits end. Last year my much loved rescue cat came home with a collar on. I opened up the tag and it asked for the owner of the cat to contact them, which I did. The lady said that my cat had stayed the night at hers and just wanted to let me know so I didn't worry. I thanked her and said it was no…

Spayed dog - your experiences?
The vet has told us no walks for 2 days, then one 5 minute walk building up to 2 x 5 minute walk for ten days. We're sticking to it of course, don't want Miss Puppy busting her stitches. Thing is, 5 days in she's going mental from the inactivity! Speeding around the room with purposeful deafness :rolleyes: and she's pretty…

Dog breeders in the North East?
I'm currently considering getting a puppy from a breeder, as I'm afraid we've had a couple of unpleasant experiences with rescue dogs in the past. (I would prefer to give an unwanted dog a home but with my youngest child being only 7 still, I'm a bit wary as you just don't know what you're getting with a pooch from a dog…

my cat & eye gunk
As the title suggest my cat seems to have some eye gunk on her eye. ( I think its just gunk) She does not seem to be too bothered by it. Blinking a little more but in no discomfort. What would be the simplest way to get it out? Just catch her and use a cotton bud to remove it? It is hard to get a good look at it as she…

High meat content cat food from supermarket
Hiya - I'm on a quest for AFFORDABLE higher meat content wet cat food that can easily be bought in a supermarket. Right now our kitty has decided she's going to turn her nose up at the standard 4% meat stuff and only eat things that have 14% or more - which at the moment comes in at Whiskas Oh So Fishy pouches at £7.80 for…

Dog poo decorations!!!!!!!
Why do people pick up their dogs poo in plastic bags, and then instead of binning it or taking it home, insist on hanging it from trees or hedges as some sort of bizzarre scatalogical christmas decoration???:mad: At least if they left it 'unpicked' it would get washed away in the next shower rather than hanging there at…

Recipe for home-made horsey fly spray
Does any kind person out there have a recipe? I know people make them up using garlic, cirtonella oil etc.. I just want some idea of what quantities to use. I'm fed up of paying vet's prices for the stuff and using lots of nasty chemicals if there is something cheaper and more natural out there.

Noisy dog - help!
Not sure if this is the right place but hopefully someone can help me. My downstairs neighbour has recently got a dog - a Weimaraner (I think that is how it's spelt) The first I knew about it was when he [the dog:rotfl:] barked when I came into the house - we have a shared hallway - and I can imagine it was a bit confusing…

My dog loves fish. We give her fish flavoured Burns food and as a treat we sometimes give her tinned sardines or mackrel. My parents in law have been given her pink salmon and even fish and chip fish (with the batter taken off). She loves her sardines and it makes her coat shine. I just wondered can dogs eat any fish or is…
