When is the time right for a horse share?
Hi all, I've been riding for about 18 months and am starting to feel less challenged by my lessons. My aim was to look for a share eventually, and I'm wondering if I might be at that stage now.

How to get more fluid into a dog with urine infection
My dog went to the vet yesterday with a urine infection. Tablets have been prescribed which I have got down him in some soft cheese. On questioning the vet he's suggested feeding him pasta, so I've bought the tiny little grains and mixed with a little bit of chicken. I also asked the vet for a syringe so I can feed him…

Haven / Staffordshire Bull Terrier
I am planning on going to a Haven with my staff, but I am worried that she will not be allowed in. I've seen the breeds they ban when I try and book, but am worried that they might assume she is a banned breed. I have her papers from when she was born, but not sure if this proves anything.

She was doing well until I put some litter powder in her tray to stop it from smelling. Then she started peeing on…

I have never used liners in the cats trays but yesterday I was vaguely aware of a bit of a lingering cat smell despite there being no obvious soiled lite. Wood pellets by the way.

Shared Garden complaint
Hi, sorry to bore you all with this but it's nice to get an external point of view that is not a close family connection. I own the Freehold/leasehold of an upstairs flat and we have a communal garden between the 4 flats and have a 12 year old dog. I've previously had a "discussion" with my neighbour about the dog going in…

How to stop my dog eating grass

I was once told years ago by my mother in law that it was a sign the dog wants to be sick but this isnt the case with ours. We walk daily on the local field and he used to love to chase the ball over and over till I was…
