Dog Worming Tablets
I used to get worming tablets from the vet. They are really expensive. I recall the vet telling me that there are no worming tablets that cover all types of worms, sold off the shelf. Is this true? If not does anyone know which is best?

Looking for particular cat toys
A couple of years ago my neighbour bought my cat some little catnip stuffed leather mice. IIRC there were 4 of them in a packet, or maybe 2 packets with 2 mice in each. Red ones and green ones, with the mouse body about 5cm long and the tail about 4cm. My cat absolutely adored these toys, far better than any other toy mice…

My porch smells of cat pee
At least I think it's cat pee. It's evil, whatever it is. And it's a bit odd, because we don't have a cat, and the outer door is kept closed. Thoughts about how I improve the smell? Or what it might be?

how shocked should I be?
Our old cat needed to be pts about 18 months ago, and we're now in the market for another one. We visited a cat rescue place and although we were planning on getting a kitten, one of their older cats (12) took a real shine to my OH and we decided that we would get him instead. We were told that all the cats were vaccinated…

Pet Insurance Crooks
My dog has needed to put a claim in for allergy testing. Of course true to belief my insurance are trying to state this is a pre existing condition. Grrr.

pet insurance
I am looking for advice on pet insurance. It is such a minefield trying to choose the right insurance/cover for my pet! I have an 11 month cross breed pup. He is chipped, and has not been neutered.

Food allergies
My dogs results came back and she has ALOT of allergies. Environmental such as Rye, Ash, Cyprus etc. Storage mites, dust mites. Foods (which I take with a pinch of salt) as only elimination diets work to distinguish these. But I've put her on Eukanuba FP dermatosis wet food. She hates dry(and storage mites then shall be…
