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…

Mouth licking
I have recently got myself a border collie pup, about 8 months old and he gets on well with most dogs but with the old lady next door (she is about 10) he constantly licks her mouth. She doesn't seem to mind this in fact if I am brushing her back at the same time, she almost seems to be in raptures. Any ideas as to why he…

Cost hike
Hi. How much does a insurance provider increase the policy cost following a claim? Cat has lifetime cover and this policy year will be a costly claim. I am assuming cat will be on meds for the remaining time left. Insurance provider More Than premium cover .

Dog peeing bed
I'll try to keep this as short as possible but need to give a bit of background on my situation. My 2yr old dog keeps peeing on her bed when I go to work. I started a new job 3 weeks ago and was previously working from home. I leave the house about 8am after she has had at least 30 mins exercise and has done her business.…

Bough by many insurance company
Does anybody know anything about this company or are with them? They cover pre existing conditions as long as it doesnt last over three months as then it is deemed chronic. They only cover up to £500 in the first year, then £1,000 then £7,000 if no claims have been made in this time. Their excess is £90/95. They cover up…

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 much do you have in a pet savings account?
I have 12 year old cat and am about to get a puppy. My cat has barely cost us anything through the years, just flea/worming/vaccinations. But i am aware that i've been lucky up till this point, and that dogs are more expensive. So i have started a pet savings fund, where i save a certain amount each month for when…

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. She's only 17 months old, most dogs develop allergies after 2 years, so already I have a special dog case. She's never suffered before when I claimed and stated ?!! I'm…

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. I was going to go for lifetime but this appears to be more tailored for older dogs with ailments such as diabetes, cancer,…

Food allergies
My dogs results came back and she has ALOT of allergies. Environmental such as Rye, Ash, Cyprus etc. Storage mites, dust mites.

Preloved
Just wondered if anyone had experience of buying a puppy advertised on Preloved. There seem to be quite a lot of genuine puppy ads on there. I am very aware of the pitfalls of buying a puppy via an online advertisement with all of the scary stories of puppy farms etc. However, there are very few advertisements now in local…

Snooze button on my alarm clock...
I needn't have bought a daylight alarm clock after all; one of our cats has taken on the role of waker-up-in-chief. It's all good and well but he doesn't appear to have a snooze button. So 5.45am is OK during the week but it's a bit much at the weekends. We (meaning OH) don't allow them in the bedroom but he'll sit outside…

Soft stool problem-help?
My pup has loads of allergies. So she's now on wet Eukanuba FP dermatosis canned food. It's no issue with her like ability and she's doing well with it. But evidently expected her stools are softer than usual as it's just wet food... What can I give her to firm them up,.. It's making a bit of a mess on her bottom and she…
