Thundershirt for dogs scared of fireworks
Does anyone use these? My dog is petrified of fireworks, but I've looked up the cost for this coat and it's £35 which is fine if it actually works. Just looks like an ordinary coat to me. The pills don't seem to have any effect on my dog.

Microchip cat flap - large cats
I will be moving in a few weeks time to a place with own garden (wohoooooo :) ) so started looking at organising in/out access for my 4 boys and not allowing strange cats to come in. I was looking at microchip cat flaps (my boys never had collars and would either lose those or get tangled somewhere) but my boys are big and…

Snoring cat
My beautiful Sansa is 15 years old soon. She's happy and healthy, always hungry, plays like a kitten, comes and goes as she pleases and seems fine. But recently she has started snoring, though it sounds more like wheezing. Do cats snore as they get older or could there be an underlying problem? She doesn't like being in…

It's law to post puppy pics, isn't it?
Meet Lola*, 16 week old Giant Schnauzer. I've waited around 20 years to get one. She's doing really well, accepting Ruby as the main dog, she's the black mini schnauzer in the second pic. The other two are finding her a bit boisterous, but things are settling down as she finds out what is expected of her. * I think the…

Green water -to clear pond water - how?
What way do have of getting rid of 'green water' in your pond? I used to have a bioforce 800 filter, and as soon as the waterfall flow lessened - I knew it was time to clean it out. Since, I invested in a Revolution filter to flow is that much better, and besides the pond was cleaned in February so the muck amount is…

Introducing Whisky & Ginny (kittens are here!)
Thank you all for the vet/carrier advice last week - here are some pictures of the new arrivals as a thank you :beer: Whisky is the all black kitty - she loves her food, sleeping nuzzled in to one of us, and digging (she keeps trying to bury her food by scratching after she's done). She's already got daddy wound around her…

Thinking of getting a dog/puppy
I have a question for those with dogs. We have been considering getting a dog for the longest time and wanted advice from those already with one. And we are spending some time at the moment really weighing up if it's right for us. I work 50% of a f/t job so work 2 days one week and 3 the following. There are two areas we…

Horrible dilemma
My friend put her dog in boarding kennels when she went on holiday. While she was away the dog died very suddenly. The kennel couldn't get hold of her so had the dog cremated. I've looked up the Animal Boarding Establishments Act 1963 but some councils seem to have variations in the licensing conditions. Some councils…

I've got a line/ group of red spots appeared in my lower/ abs pelvic region, I'd describe them as blotchy, I've also got another group on my outer upper thigh and one on my lower back (I tend to lie on the floor from…

Allergy?
Hi all, A little history first before I ask my question..... My partner and I adopted a cat from our local rescue centre back in March. She's a 1 yr old DSH. Her story was that her previous owners found out their 3 year old daughter had an allergy to her. Since we've had her, she's had an episode of fleas (not as bad as…

Kittens, Vet and no car
So we're getting two kittens in a couple of weeks (pictures to come!) We don't have a car (I'm learning to drive, we'll get there). Our nearest vet is less than a mile away, and it's not a distance I would give a second thought to walking, but... Am I being naïve thinking we can walk that with the kittens in carriers? I…

Preparing for moggie(s) - any advice?
We have been waiting for months for the right time to adopt one or more cats and finally it's coming close. I grew up with cats but my parents never really made any special arrangements; cat flap, food, water, a few toys basically. To be fair the cats always shunned any beds provided anyway. We have to have indoor cats…

Greyhound Cramp
We have two greyhounds - aged 7 and 9 - and they both occasionally get cramp in their legs. It probably happens about once a month but anyone who has experienced the greyhound scream of death at 3am will understand it can be quite distressing! They will settle down again after a couple of minutes of rubbing and attention.…
