Making chews
Is there a way to make hard chews for a dog. Mine chew them for hours, as they are little dogs, and keeps them busy when I need to get something done. But, I don't think they are very good for goods and they certainly are cheap. Is there a cheap way to make something like them that is also better for the dog?

Taming of a feral cat
I rescued a 5 yr old former feral cat in March of last year, she had been with a foster home for about 2 months and been "tamed" & had all vet treatments done.

Insurance prior to neutering?
I'm in the process of adopting a cat and he'll be with me tomorrow. He has had his kitten jabs but needs boosters soon, worming next week and hasn't yet been neutered. I'm looking into insurance but they are asking if he's been neutered/wormed etc. He hasn't and that pushes the insurance price up. But he'll be neutered…

Dog Fouling Fine
My elderly mum was out walking her dog and stopped to chat to a friend in a park. Unbeknownst to her, the dog did a poo without her noticing. She was then approached by two dog wardens and issued a fixed penalty of £80. I think this is outrageous. Firstly it's WAY too steep. Secondly, as she didn't notice, she offered to…

Cyprus Pride House
Has anybody had any dealings with these people? What they do seems too good to be true - rescuing animals in Cyprus and re-homing them in the UK for just £100. The usual advice is don't part with money until you have seen the pet but this may be the exception that proves the rule? They have a web and facebook presence…

We rehomed a cat last year from a friend of a friend. He is a lovely lovely boy, so affectionate and with such a great personality. He came to us from a house that used to let him in all the bedrooms, on all the beds, eating off the kitchen side etc etc, and personally we haven't wanted that. With my previous cats I…

Is pet insurance worth it?
Hello I have a dog, min-pin, and it is my first puppy. I never had a dog as a child. I wondered whether or not it is worth getting pet insurance or simply saving the monthly premium in a separate savings account instead. Has anyone done this and is it likely to cover the costs?
